Tories ditch Cadman suit against Liberals
OTTAWA — Stephen Harper has dropped a $3.5-million defamation suit against the Liberal Party over the Cadman affair.

The action has been dismissed without costs awarded to either side and both parties have agreed not to comment further.

I always figured that this would be then end result. It was just more Harper trickery and abuse of legal process.
