Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim has responded to a defamation lawsuit by a city councillor, saying his false claims that Sean Orr distributed illegal drugs did not result in reputational damage.
Sim says in a response filed to the B.C. Supreme Court dated April 7 that he did not act “deliberately, maliciously or in bad faith” when he told Chinese-language reporters in February that Orr was handing out drugs on Christmas Day.
