On the other side of the coin, Dominion and Fox news settle for 787 million dollars because Fox News did in fact defame Dominion with zero truth to the allegations and would assuredly not only lose the case, but likely could be penalized much harder.

Such a settlement isn't happening between Dong and Global (again unless Global made things up on their own which does not appear to be the case)
CBC was sued for defamation and lost recently (for good reason, elements of the story was fabricated and without merit).

WE also sued CBC, I expect that case that not go anywhere.

Just because the 3 elements for the claim of the plaintiff case for defamation may be met, sure as heck doesn't make it a slam dunk case just because you claim it does. You most certainly can claim defamation, meet all 3 elements to make such claim, and still lose.
Heck I mean Must literally called someone a pedo guy on twitter and still won the defamation case against him.

You realize that the US and Canada are two different countries wth two different legal and political systems, right? It seems to be a point lost more and more on right wing Canadians since the pandemic.
