Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has had nothing to say about Rebel News journalist David Menzies’ arrest, which took place while he was questioning her on her way into a Richmond Hill event. Freeland’s silence is particularly curious given how she’s taken up the press freedom cause in the past, even co-hosting a media freedom conference with her then-counterpart in the United Kingdom. True North’s Andrew Lawton says the hypocrisy is brazen but shouldn’t be all that surprising. Plus, Rebel News founder Ezra Levant joins the show to explain why Rebel is suing Freeland and the RCMP.
Plus, while people are starting to talk about the housing and employment challenges being exacerbated by immigration, no one is willing to talk about mass immigration’s cultural effects. With the Canadian consensus on immigration eroding, Macdonald-Laurier Institute domestic policy director Aaron Wudrick says we need a grown-up conversation about immigration. He joins the show to discuss what that should look like.
Also, the agenda for next week’s World Economic Forum annual meeting has sessions about the next pandemic, the future of free speech, and several about accelerating the “transition” away from oil and gas.
