🔴LIVE UPDATES: Rebel reporter on trial for covering Quebec's COVID curfew
Rebel News' Yanky Pollak is back in Montreal again. Despite fleeing to freedom-loving Florida, the legal troubles Yanky got into while covering Quebec's extreme lockdown, which included a curfew and severe fines for anyone found to be in violation, continue to follow him.
During the five-month curfew in 2021 and a subsequent trip back to cover its return in 2022, Yanky racked up numerous fines from officers all too happy to enforce these draconian “public health” measures.
In total, he racked up 15 tickets, amounting to somewhere around $15,000 in fines. With the court dates for these charges now coming up, Yanky has travelled back Canada to, hopefully, be vindicated for simply practicing journalism in Canada.
