Canadian Police Arrest Conservative Journalist On Trumped-Up Charge Of Assault<\/span><\/p>\n

We have been\u00a0discussing<\/a>\u00a0the rapid decline of free speech protections in Canada under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A vivid example of the increasing authoritarian approach was evident this week with the arrest of David Menzies, a reporter for Canada\u2019s conservative Rebel News Network. Menzies was attempting to interview\u00a0Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland when her security clearly manufactured a criminal charge in front of cameras.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Menzies was attempting to ask Freeland about Canada\u2019s refusal to label Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC) as a terrorist organization. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Freeland continues to walk as Menzies attempts get an answer by walking backwards.<\/p>\n

As he stays with Freeland, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) stands in his way and the result is a slight bump. The officer then immediately carries out an arrest with an eventual charge that Menzies assaulted him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trudeau has had a long running feud with Rebel News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, we discussed the irony of how a Russian dissident was denied Canadian citizenship due to a conviction in Russia for speaking against the Ukrainian war (from Canada). Since Canada has the same criminalization of speech laws, Maria Kartasheva was pulled from her ceremony\u00a0pending further investigation<\/a>\u00a0into whether she is a criminal practitioner of free speech.<\/p>\n

The arrest of Menzies raises the same comparison to the approach of governments like Putin\u2019s to critics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note in the video below how the officer positions himself directly in the path of Menzies as he walks back with his back to the officer.<\/p>\n

You can judge for yourself on what countries come to mind:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
