Quebec Liberal Leader Pablo Rodriguez says his party will send a formal legal notice to the Journal de Montreal, after the news outlet published a report alleging some party members were paid to vote for him in his leadership campaign. As Dan Spector reports, the report published earlier this week alleges two people who “actively worked” to elect Rodriguez as Liberal leader in June had exchanged text messages suggesting some members would receive cash rewards in exchange for their votes.
