Liberals run from accountability at Montreal convention

Many Liberal MPs were confronted with tough, direct questions during the party’s convention in Montreal — questions the mainstream media refuses to ask.

Over the first two days of the convention, Rebel News' Québec team was on the ground holding elected officials to account — despite being denied accreditation after applying not once, but twice. No surprise there.

After all, this is a party that has funnelled millions in taxpayer dollars to legacy media — outlets unlikely to bite the hand that feeds them.

But that wasn't going to stop us.

We caught former Conservative MP turned Liberal, Chris D’entremont, and pressed him on a simple question: if he’s so confident in his political future, why not call a byelection and let voters decide?

Instead of answering, D’entremont dodged — claiming “no one wants a byelection.”

He represents the riding of Acadie–Annapolis, where he was first elected as a Conservative in 2019 before crossing the floor to the Liberals in late 2025 — without ever seeking a renewed mandate from voters.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne was also confronted over growing controversy surrounding the $90-billion Alto project — where his partner reportedly holds a senior executive role.

Questions about ethics were met with deflection.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State for Nature, Nathalie Provost, was asked about illegal firearms crossing Canada’s borders — a major driver of violent crime.

Instead of addressing the issue, she walked away.

Again and again, when faced with real questions — on floor-crossing, youth unemployment, mass immigration — Liberal MPs chose to evade rather than answer.

Rebel News was there to do what government-funded media won’t: ask the tough questions, and demand real answers.

    Deflection may be more damning but the liberal trained seals will continue to clap thinking they live in a ‘democracy’ while they are being led into a communist state.

    Deflection is more damning than admitting the truth.
