CBC NewsCaylan Ford, a former United Conservative Party candidate who resigned after controversial messages she sent came to light, has won a permanent restraining order against the man who distributed those messages to the media."Ultimately, I am satisfied on the evidence that [Karim] Jivraj embarked on a campaign to cause emotional and financial harm to [Caylan] Ford by damaging her reputation," according to a February 2023 memorandum of decision, written by Justice Robert A.
She subsequently launched a more than $7-million defamation lawsuit in September 2020. The defendants in that lawsuit include Jivraj, the Broadbent Institute, the NDP, the Toronto Star, the CBC and others. That litigation continues. Jivraj denied making defamatory statements about Ford and denied that he had intended any emotional harm, according to the decision.
"Having failed to prevent her nomination, he was determined to make sure Ms. Ford could not be elected," Graesser wrote. "He was also intent on doing as much damage to her reputation as he could. He was also intent on harming her financially."
