PM Carney gives fake praise to press freedom
True freedom exists daily, not just on a designated day.

Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, Canada's "World Press Freedom Day" is hypocritical. True freedom exists daily, not just on a designated day.
The trucker convoy wasn't illegal, despite claims, and the Emergencies Act, even if valid, exempts lawful protest. Its invocation was later deemed illegal.
Unlike authoritarian states where everything is banned unless permitted, the U.S. generally allows what isn't banned, especially regarding speech, as highlighted by the Cohen v. California case.
Meanwhile, Canada's press freedom is declining, ranking 21st, but even this is overstated by Reporters Without Borders, who falsely claim no reporter arrests. David Menzies was arrested five times, and I was arrested once; our team has faced police assault.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, despite past criticism of such actions, has his own reporters pushed away, threatens arrest, and targets media platforms like X over "racism," while ignoring worse platforms like TikTok.
He wants to ban words he dislikes and arrest journalists he dislikes. Ironically, hate marches since October 7th are ignored, while reporters covering them are arrested.
Carney's statement on World Press Freedom Day champions an independent press but then pledges more funding to the government-funded CBC. His emphasis on "reliable" media, like Trudeau's "trustworthy," suggests a desire for compliant press secretaries, not independent journalists who might investigate him, unlike Rebel News' past scrutiny that was criticized by government journalists.
Carney's version of press freedom is the opposite of the real thing.
Guest: British journalist David Atherton unpacks why the UK bucked the trend in recent elections. While populist conservatives were pushed back in Canada and Australia, Nigel Farage surged ahead in Britain. Why is the UK different? David explains.

Read the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) book called – ‘Corrupted by Fear’. A heavy read yet so insightful as to how the Nazis used fear from every angle to quell any dissenting voices….people were jailed (sound familiar?), or they just disappeared. This not a conspiracy….it is real and the fools that elected Carnage will soon see that his agenda is total control…..it’s all about CONTROL. -

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-05-05 21:00:25 -0400Carney is a phony. He’s the type of person who says what others want to hear. Pierre Poilievre speaks the truth. Liars hate that so they smear him and lie about what he stands for. And yes, Trump did hand the Liberals a victory. I’m sure he didn’t realize it at the time.
