The 74-year old Diane Blain is taking legal action against Trudeau after she alleges his bodyguards acted abusively towards her and the prime minister defamed her character at an August 16 event in Sabrevois, Quebec.

Blain is seeking a total of $95,000 in compensation from Trudeau including $30,000 in punitive damages. The claims against Trudeau include:

According to Blain, her lawyer Christian Lajoie met with the prime minister and his legal team at 9:30 AM on July 16 in Montreal for an hour interview to prepare for the civil proceedings. Trudeau's own personal itinerary place the prime minister in Montreal today, however it makes no mention of the legal meeting.
