Fired firefighter Blair Cromwell responds to libel suit
Argues that statements he made on Coast website are true.
Former Halifax firefighter Blair Cromwell, who was fired from the job after he made comments about fire department management on The Coast website, was subsequently sued for libel by fire chief Bill Mosher and deputy chief Steve Thurber. Today, Cromwell filed a defence to those charges, which basically argues that all of the postings on The Coast website are true.
