Similarly, in Australia it is generally much easier to win a defamation case than in the US.
However, there is one interesting difference – under Australia's uniform national defamation law (adopted in 2005), corporations cannot sue for defamation. (There is an exception for small businesses, with less than 10 employees.) So, the recent Dominion vs Fox News lawsuit would have been impossible in Australia.
Canadian law on is nowhere near as protective as the US. Defamation has a much lower standard there.
Defamation with public figures in the US is next to impossible to win. That's not true in Canada.
