Sel Burrows and the CBC sued...

Two women are suing Canada’s public broadcaster and a Winnipeg activist over a news story about alleged drug activity at a North Point Douglas duplex.

The women, Sandra Guiboche and Amanda Rouse, claim the television report and defendants’ actions defamed them, violated their privacy and resulted in a loss of business income and profits.

Guiboche and Rouse co-own S&M Demo and Reno.

They filed a statement of claim against the CBC and activist Sel Burrows, who was interviewed in the news report, in Winnipeg’s Court of Queen’s Bench this past week.

Guiboche claims the story erroneously implied she was involved in drug trafficking and was an active member in an organized crime family “that was the scourge of the neighbourhood in Point Douglas,” according to documents.

Some say this piece of work is a front-b1tch for the Indian Posse or the Warriors.

What do you think?

LOL... I was just about to post this. but my title was going to be

Sel Burrows and the CBC GET sued...

good for you.

Its reasons like this that MOST news places only report facts on cases. Not opions like "they were the scourge of the neighbourhood in Point Douglas".


How is that powerline working out for you know Judy? Still standing behind it?

I think that we're going to find three losers in this law suit.

3?

all of them....the plaintiffs and the defendants...the women, Burrows and the CBC.

Didn't watch the story, don't know who the women are, I know nothing about Point Douglas. S&M Building and Demolition sounds like a pretty stupid name for a business, especially with two women owning it. I wonder if they do bondage too...

I know for a fact that everyone living in that area are all on drugs! it isnt a far step to assume that they all deal with drugs, a fact that the CBC reported!

I also know that fighting, finger pointing, and down right aggressive behaviour, especially in meal preparing is not unusual!

CBC manitoba has had way too much emotionality in their reporting lately. It really turns me off, makes them seem less professional.

CBC and professional in the same breath? Heh heh. Don't forget while doing what they do they do it with our tax money. How be we turn that tap off too.

It's well overdue.

The CBC should be sold off and the sooner the better imo.

The Guiboches have been a stain on this community. Their so-called "business" is a laundering facility as very little business is conducted there....basically a store front for looks of legitimacy....Ole' Sandy can b1tch all she likes but several of her "houses" have been shut down and that was done long before the Power Line, something that Judy had no say in developing as that has been around for at least two years and was community-driven.

As to the law suit if Ms. guibochce believes she can intimidate the CBC and whoever else like she has been doing to those who are easily intimidated then i say bring it on b1tch....the court of law rather than the court of opinion will ultimately be her undoing. Ha! Wonder if she will play the racism card next?

As to Burrows and the CBC....whatever.....this will get tossed.

I agree 100%.

The best way to deal with the CBC (besides ending their funding) is to bring on Sun TV news. Strange things happen when two sides of a story are known. Wouldn't surprise me if the CBC themselves oppose the CRTC application. Oddly - 50% of Canadian's wouldn't have a problem with that. That's how close we are to hopelessness in Canada.

I just spoke with one of the CBC lawyers that I know, and she thinks that the CBC is going to offer her $25,000 to make this nuisance claim go away!

Rosen, doubtful......hope you are just engaging in your usual humour....

Do you rate that as usual?
Very low rating for tonight!
