Yes, section 23 of the lawsuit from the CBC interview.
Nenshi - "Let's not be ridiculous here! This is one thing I do not understand, which is why everyone is being so polite.
We had a scene right outside of - out of the movie Godfather.
We had a guy admitting that he broke the law in 2010 in favor of one candidate Ward 7's Kevin Taylor - running again. We realize the law cannot actually be enforce - It has no enforcement ability.
We had a guy telling people in the room how to break the law in this election and going through every single race saying this is the councillor that will oppose Nenshi, make sure you vote for the guy that opposed Nenshi. Make sure you give them money, and I invented this? Lets not be ridiculous?"
Section 24
Defamatory words in their nature and ordinary meaning and by innueendo meant and were understood to mean that
a) Wenzel deliberately had broken the law
b) Wendzel admitted he deliberately had broken the law
c) Wendzel had counceled others on how to break the law; and
d) Wendzel is the head of a mafia organization that is working to disrupt municipal politics utilizing immoral or illegal practices
That the's basis of the lawsuit and it looks to be more about the general statement that Nenshi made then just the as long suffering put it "bad name"
