For those following the Canadian spiral dive into authoritarianism, you may have seen how a federal court two days ago found in favour of the Rebel and ordered that their reporters be allowed to cover the leadership debates.
Please read these four Tweets by Ezra and ask yourself a few questions.
BREAKING: Right now the Federal Court is holding ANOTHER emergency hearing (by phone) to deal with Trudeau’s debate commission refusing entry to our reporter despite this morning’s court order. Trudeau’s lawyer is citing “Covid”.

This morning the Federal Court ordered them to let in our reporters. But then they said our lead reporter needed a Covid test. We immediately sent them one. (See below.) But then they said it wasn’t enough. pic.twitter.com/dSApIm1UhJ

They said we have to take a PCR test that takes 24 to 48 hours to get back. (The debate is tonight.). But guess what — we got one in time. See below. pic.twitter.com/fxlzjHuRkh

Astoundingly, but perhaps completely predictably, Trudeau’s debate commission just won’t accept it. So we’re literally on the phone with the judge RIGHT NOW.

Here are some of mine:
Where are the other parties on this purely authoritarian and dishonest abuse of power?
Where is the legacy media, paid off by Trudeau in fact, in terms of freedom of speech and diversity of opinion?
There is a protest scheduled outside the debate venue in Hull/Gatineau tonight in front of the Museum of Civilization by Maxime Bernier’s party as he was also excluded from the debate despite polling a lot higher than 2 of the parties, The Green Party and the Bloq Quebecois at 6:30. Perhaps the protest should be bigger than that now.
