A Yukon safety inspector is suing the CBC for publishing what he says is a malicious and professionally damaging attack on its web comment board that has affected his “ability to work in this community.” He filed the claim after someone posted a long comment on a story about workplace safety charges laid against Procon Mining and Tunnelling for a worker’s death. In the comment, the person said that Yukon health and safety inspectors are “unqualified to investigate let alone recommend charges be laid against contracting companies such as Procon” and names this inspector and another man.
