Val-d’Or police defamation suit against RC thrown out
Thursday, May 22, 2025, 4:21 pm
In Val-d’Or, a Quebec court dismissed the defamation lawsuit filed by local police—alleging that a Radio‑Canada report on alleged Indigenous abuse defamed them. The judge ruled in favor of the broadcaster, suggesting that sticking to verified facts has its own merits, even if it bruised some egos.
La Cour supérieure du Québec a rejeté la poursuite d’un groupe de policiers de Val-d’Or qui se disaient victimes de diffamation à la suite d’un reportage de Radio-Canada dans lequel des femmes autochtones affirmaient être victimes d’abus divers des forces de police.
La société d’État et sa journaliste Josée Dupuis n’ont commis aucune faute professionnelle, tranche le juge.
