Hey, kids, remember when Rebel News Obergruppenfuhrer Ezra Levant had his pasty ass handed to him by the Ontario Court of Appeal to the tune of just over a quarter million dollars:
I have been reliably informed that he has still not turned over any of that money because (and you know what's coming) he brought an application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, which is still pending. And if/when that silliness is kicked to the curb by the SCoC, Ezra will be asked to turn over all that cash forthwith, so if either Rebel News or its accounting department The Democracy Fund suddenly explode in a frenzy of desperate fundraising, I'm sure that would be just a coincidence.

Last I checked, the SCC only granted leave to appeal for "legally interesting cases" (e.g. cases that represent significant, new legal issues not already well covered by precedent). I can't imagine anything in one of Ezra's defamation suits that even vaguely resembles "legally interesting" ... so unless the justices of the SCC want some comic amusement for a day or two of hearings, I don't see that leave being granted.
MgS: It occurs that if the SCoC was particularly cruel, they would accept the case, then let Ezra run up his legal bill even further, *then* rule against him.
