Following the judge's dismissal of the injunction, the Alberta political web series is back online. The Breakdown is an Alberta political podcast hosted by citizen journalist Nate Pike. A judge has dismissed an order that led an Alberta political web series to temporarily cease down. After MHCare and its CEO, Sam Mriache, of Edmonton, complained, Nate Pike's The Breakdown shut off its lights for two weeks. A mandatory injunction requiring The Breakdown to remove content and a prohibitive injunction prohibiting The Breakdown from publishing any more were both included in the two-week court ruling. The application was submitted as part of a defamation lawsuit against Pike, in which the applicants sought $6 million in damages. The claims have been refuted by Pike. The program aimed to prevent Pike from sharing or reposting any audio, text, or other materials pertaining to Mraiche and MHCare. Justice Bonnie L. Bokenfohr refused the plea for the injunction on Monday morning after hearing Pike's appeal last week. According to a spokesperson for the Court of King's Bench Alberta, the applicant "did not establish that the defences of justification, fair comment, and responsible communication in the public interest will inevitably fail, or that it is beyond doubt that any defence raised by the respondent is not sustainable," the justice said. Pike claimed in several episodes that MHCare received two contentious contracts from the province that he feels was sole-sourced, and that Mraiche then brought several lawmakers into a complimentary VIP box for playoff hockey games for the Edmonton Oilers. Mriache stated in an affidavit that he was "extremely afraid for my safety, the safety of my family, and the safety of the employees and agents of MHCare and their families due to the consequent hate that I am receiving from (The Breakdown's) readers, listeners, and/or followers, as well as the threats made against me and MHCare." Following a two-week hiatus, The Breakdown returned to social media on Monday to announce a new episode.
