A man who briefly headed the Canadian Human Rights Commissioner has filed defamation lawsuits against the deputy Conservative leader, media personality Ezra Levant and a leading Jewish group for statements he claims “characterized him as an antisemitic, terrorist supporter.”
Birju Dattani claims in the lawsuits that during the summer of 2024 he became the subject of an online and media campaign. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman and Levant have been named as defendants in a set of three similar lawsuits.
