On Wednesday's live stream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle discussed how a Liberal candidate in Calgary reportedly called the police on a Juno News reporter and falsely claimed he got "physical" with him.

Juno News reporter Keean Bexte, who has footage of the interaction and its aftermath, was trying to deliver questions to Thomas Keeper, the Liberal candidate for Calgary Confederation.

Rather than accepting the questions, Keeper darted inside his campaign office before apparently calling police on Bexte. Police informed Bexte that he could face a possible restraining order, and that Keeper said Bexte got "physical" with him.

The Independent Press Gallery of Canada condemned Keeper's behaviour in a statement posted online:

"This is absolutely a pattern of dealing with independent press by the Liberal Party as evidenced by the times Mark Carney keeps calling the cops on independent journalists," said Sheila.

Lise also chimed in, saying that in a "serious" country unlike Canada, the candidate would face some form of consequences for his actions.

"In a serious country, this candidate would no longer be the candidate," she said. "He would be charged!" added Sheila.

"Without question," Lise replied. "Misappropriation of police resources, false statements, this is insane," she said.

It is currently unclear whether the Liberal candidate in question will face any consequences for his actions during this incident.

Please help me stop Mark Carney — before it’s too late!

Mark Carney wasn’t elected — he was installed by the global elites. And now that he’s in charge, they think they’ve won. But not if we have anything to say about it. While the bought-and-paid-for media slobber over their new golden boy, we’re hitting the streets, digging into his World Economic Forum playbook, and calling out the radical agenda they’re trying to ram down Canada’s throat. This is the fight of our lives — and we’re not backing down. Help us keep our reporters on the ground, our billboard truck on the move, and our message uncensored. Pitch in now if you want to stop Mark Carney before he does irreversible damage.
