Controversies
Both the Maritime and Ottawa editions of Frank have been the subject of numerous libel complaints. In the case of the Ottawa edition, several of these actions were successful and are cited as a major reason for the collapse of that edition in 2004.
Some celebrities who have sued Frank include:
- Mike Duffy, a CTV political correspondent who was reportedly awarded $50,000 in civil court.
- Mary Hogan, former Ontario Deputy Attorney General.
- Warren Kinsella, journalist.
- Steve Petherbridge
- Pamela Wallin, a TV personality.
