Too bad that we don't have investigative reporters in Fredericton because there's a lot of turmoil behind the scenes.
City Manager Chris MacPherson is known by many people to be a true Liar and this was proven with my case.
A known Liar always get caught at the end!!!
Time for the Mayor to get rid of this Goof!!!!
libel 1) n. to publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film, an untruth about another which will do harm to that person or his/her reputation, by tending to bring the target into ridicule, hatred, scorn or contempt of others. Libel is the written or broadcast form of defamation, distinguished from slander which is oral defamation. It is a tort (civil wrong) making the person or entity (like a newspaper, magazine or political organization) open to a lawsuit for damages by the person who can prove the statement about him/her was a lie. Publication need only be to one person, but it must be a statement which claims to be fact, and is not clearly identified as an opinion. While it is sometimes said that the person making the libelous statement must have been intentional and malicious, actually it need only be obvious that the statement would do harm and is untrue. Proof of malice, however, does allow a party defamed to sue for "general damages" for damage to reputation, while an inadvertent libel limits the damages to actual harm (such as loss of business) called "special damages." "Libel per se" involves statements so vicious that malice is assumed and does not require a proof of intent to get an award of general damages. Libel against the reputation of a person who has died will allow surviving members of the family to bring an action for damages. Most states provide for a party defamed by a periodical to demand a published retraction. If the correction is made, then there is no right to file a lawsuit. Governmental bodies are supposedly immune for actions for libel on the basis that there could be no intent by a non-personal entity, and further, public records are exempt from claims of libel. However, there is at least one known case in which there was a financial settlement as well as a published correction when a state government newsletter incorrectly stated that a dentist had been disciplined for illegal conduct. The rules covering libel against a "public figure" (particularly a political or governmental person) are special, based on U. S. Supreme Court decisions. The key is that to uphold the right to express opinions or fair comment on public figures, the libel must be malicious to constitute grounds for a lawsuit for damages. Minor errors in reporting are not libel, such as saying Mrs. Jones was 55 when she was only 48, or getting an address or title incorrect. 2) v. to broadcast or publish a written defamatory statement. (See: defamation, slander, libel per se, public figure)
ReplyDeleteTo anonymous at 23:22: I think Charles has more than enough evidence to back up what he says - it's only libel if it is untrue, so your "spiel" is nonsense. I fully believe there are many more liars in City Hall than just Mr. McPherson.
ReplyDeleteshow some proof.
ReplyDelete18:46 - you are one those goons who either doesn't follow the thread of the story, and they comes in on the attack, or you are one of those goons who doesn't care about the actual facts and comes in to attack - or you are one of the goons dressed up as a member of the FPFarce. Sad, whichever is the scenario.
ReplyDeletei am a concerned member of the public who dosen't give in to slander and libel. i am the one being attacked here for asking simple questions
ReplyDelete=Jim the man with a home-
This is your last 15 minutes of fame Jim...proof? City never contacted me.....There are no blogs against Gays....Racist moi? Ridiculous....He's a liar and lies while on the job also.....he's a liar...and he supports cops accusing the less fortunate with child porn or exploiting kids for sex....we have a VERY bad dude here......
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Jim. I'm not even sure what you are talking about. What 'lies' has this guy told? I thought the beef with him was that he sent a letter of complaint to Google? I notice your blog is still up and running fine, so obviously google has no problem with what you've been writing. But saying that 'some people call this guy a liar' isn't actually evidence of anything.
ReplyDeleteMike...Mike...Mike.....He's a known Liar.....called me homophobic??? Racist? Told the public that he tried to contact me. I believe he's a known racist against the Natives and the less fortunate...stay tuned....
ReplyDeleteWell, dude, you ARE racist, you're pretty public about that. But now I remember the part where he said he tried to contact you, its your word against his, but at least thats a reminder of why you call him a liar, because it IS a lie, just hard to prove.
ReplyDeleteThe letters I have to type in are ccdesegays......how weird is that!
