‘Just bury this thing’: How a private eye tried to make a Toronto TV host’s harassment case ‘go away’

      I remember Bullard and remember thinking he was funny. Not anymore. Cynthia must have been very scared especially for her children.

        I did have some sympathy for what I thought was a live sick Bullard. This story has changed my opinion. What a horrible experience for Cynthia.

          Became a PI 33 years ago. However he says" I may have chosen the wrong words". Wants us to believe he made a rookie mistake.

            Hmmm, wonder if the Law Society will do their job next?

              Definition of stupidity...you are convicted of making threats of intimidation to members of the public and then actually do the same damn thing to a reporter doing a story for The Star, by saying to him "Be Careful"!!! BTW, no legal judge or jury who's been around the block a few times would EVER believe somebody accidentally forgot to tell these media personalities that dirt dug up was just going to go to Bullard's legal team and not the public at large, it defies logic based on this whole scenario.
