Trudeau government body sues digital media outlets to ban them from attending government press events

The Leaders’ Debate Commission, a body created and chosen by the Trudeau government, is using taxpayer money to appeal a Canadian Federal Court’s decision to grant accreditation to journalists from Rebel Media and True North for government press events.

In one of its first major acts since Justin Trudeau won the 2019 Canadian federal election, The Leaders’ Debate Commission, a body created and chosen by the Trudeau government, is using taxpayer money to appeal an injunction against its decision to ban independent journalists from government press events.

The Leaders’ Debate Commission has filed a Notice of Appeal against the independent digital media platforms Rebel Media and True North seeking to overturn an earlier Federal Court decision which ordered it to grant accreditation to David Menzies (Rebel Media), Keean Bexte (Rebel Media), and Andrew Lawton (True North) and allow them to attend the Canadian leaders’ debates which took place on Monday, October 7, 2019 and Thursday, October 10, 2019.
