"Under the current legal regime, you can be sued for anything you say about another person that damages their reputation. If sued, the onus is on you to prove the truth of your statements; the fact that you genuinely believed them to be true is not good enough. Even truth is not an absolute defence --- if the court finds you told the truth but your intent was malicious, you might lose anyway. Canadian libel law is so draconian that people come from all over the world to file libel suits in Ontario"

Ah ha. As I said, this has the potential to blow up in Warman's face.

I don’t see that could be the case unless those sued file against him. I don’t know what he has said about them other than his filing saying their comment against him are libelous.
