CAUGHT ON HIDDEN CAMERA: Ezra Levant of Rebel News INTERROGATED For His Book Exposing Justin Trudeau
Government agents or as I call them thugs of the state interrogated author and journalist Ezra Levant because he dared to write a book about Justin Trudeau during a federal election. The two former RCMP officers (who used to specialize in terrorism cases) grilled Levant for over an hour all while being secretly filmed by Levant unbeknownst to them! In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth goes over some of the highlights of this counter interrogation by Levant where he puts these government stooges in their place and on notice that this will not go away without a visible and loud fight.Click to see and hear the YOUTUBE hidden video

Free press wins this round
Liberals beat a hasty retreat in battle to license media
Otawa Sun 2020 BRIAN LILLEY
It’s one of the fastest reversals of government policy that I’ve seen.
On Sunday, the Trudeau Liberals promised to bring in a licensing regime for news outlets and podcasters, but by Monday they were singing the praises of a free press.
It all started last week when a panel struck by
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself to examine the future of media in Canada released its final report.
Called “Canada’s Communications Future: A Time to Act,” the report called for a requirement that new media register with the government and be licensed. On Sunday, Trudeau’s culture minister told CTV’S Question Period that he agreed with that idea.
“Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House we believe in a strong, free and independent press,” Trudeau said when questioned by Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer.
Well, let’s be honest, a “strong, free and independent press” isn’t one that has to register with the government and obtain a licence. To do so would give the government control over what media outlets say, print or broadcast.
That’s bad for democracy and a complete violation of free speech.
Thankfully, Trudeau went a step further by saying he will not go forward with this idea.
“I want to be unequivocal: We will not impose licensing requirements on news organizations nor will we regulate news content,” Trudeau said.
The only troubling part of Trudeau’s response is that he said his government’s priority is to ensure that Canadians have access to “diverse, high-quality and credible news.” Who decides what is “high quality” or “credible” when it comes to news?
I hope it’s not Trudeau or any other politician. Politicians are the biggest purveyors of “fake news.”
They’re the people who try to spin everything.
It was almost a year ago, on Feb. 7, 2019, when I stood in a commuter parking lot north of Toronto as Trudeau reacted to the first reports on the Snc-lavalin scandal and lied to the world.
“The allegations in The Globe (and Mail) story are false,” Trudeau said.
Of course, we would come to learn that the allegations were true and then some. Yet the government’s line for weeks was that the media outlet was lying.
If we lived in a licensed system, would The Globe and Mail see its licence revoked for publishing something the government claimed was a lie? Would they have even published it in the first place or held back out of fear of irritating authorities?
And make no mistake, the report tabled last week called for registration and licensing of media outlets more than once.
In recommendation No.
56, the report calls for online media to be registered by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, meaning any news outlet, podcaster or content creator would have to register with the government.
“This would require a person carrying on a media content undertaking by means of the internet to register unless otherwise exempt,” the report said.
In recommendation No.
74, the report called for the CRTC to be given the power to “impose codes of conduct, including provisions with respect to resolution mechanisms, transparency, privacy and accessibility regarding all media content undertakings.”
All media undertakings. Thankfully, the response was swift and firm from most Canadians: Government doesn’t get to regulate the media like this.
To do so would be a violation of the charter and its guarantee of freedom of expression: “Freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.”
Media regulated and registered with the government would never be free.
This was a bad idea that should have never been suggested and the Trudeau Liberals never should have agreed to, but I’m glad they are running away from it.
Freedom deserves no less.
