Journal de Mourréal ordered to pay up
The satirical Journal de Mourréal has been ordered to pay $23,500 for trademark infringement to Pierre Karl Péladeau, whom we’re sure needs that money – every penny of profit the site ever made. That will teach satirists not to tread too closely on the bunions of the wealthy.

Wow. I already knew that many people are too stupid to recognize satire but this takes the cake. Conflating satire with “fake news” disinformation is a new low.

That judgement says a lot about power in this province.

Shoot. I read about this earlier and hoped it was satire.
