What’s happening in a Nova Scotia courtroom?

Apparently there is a sequel to Cabinet Minister Lisa Raitt's misplaced nuclear-sensitive documents - and there is an injunction ongoing now to prevent The Halifax Herald from telling it.

News reports say a Herald reporter listened to a tape that was recorded by Jasmine MacDonnell, the Nova Scotian who resigned as Raitt's press secretary after Atomic Energy of Canada documents were left at the bureau of CTV - which broke the story last week.

What’s on the tape has been suggested on line but it’s not clear that the suggestions are real – regardless, someone wants the tape kept secret.

Stay tuned ...

Boy I really don't understand the legal system. It seems amazing to me that someone can have any legal recourse to stop the publication of something in a newspaper. I understand that a newspaper can be sued to publishing something that is slanderous, after the fact. . . . but to stop them from publishing seems more than vaguely like dictatorship stuff.

Is that all Harper is worried about..suing people ? What kind of Prime Minister is this?
