Canadian Police Arrest Conservative Journalist On Trumped-Up Charge Of Assault

WEDNESDAY, JAN 10, 2024 - 07:40 PM
Authored by Jonathan Turley,
We have been discussing the rapid decline of free speech protections in Canada under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
A vivid example of the increasing authoritarian approach was evident this week with the arrest of David Menzies, a reporter for Canada’s conservative Rebel News Network. Menzies was attempting to interview Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland when her security clearly manufactured a criminal charge in front of cameras.




Menzies was attempting to ask Freeland about Canada’s refusal to label Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC) as a terrorist organization.


Freeland continues to walk as Menzies attempts get an answer by walking backwards.

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.




Trudeau has had a long running feud with Rebel News.


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 pending further investigation into whether she is a criminal practitioner of free speech.

The arrest of Menzies raises the same comparison to the approach of governments like Putin’s to critics.

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.

You can judge for yourself on what countries come to mind:

He deliberately annoys and harasses people and he tried it with a cabinet minister and was taken out of circulation for a couple of hours.

The cops can arrest people for "breaking the peace" and not charge them. Harassing a cabinet minister qualifies. Menzies is an asshat and makes his living being a pest and this time went too far.

"harassing" as in asking questions in public? Shame on journalists for doing that. We should only be able to get info directly from JT's office to ensure that it's factual and not filtered to appease the flock.
Comrades...we must round up journalists immediately!!!

The piece of dirt called Menzies has been arrested several times, wait for it...........even at a Conservative Campaign Stop:

Menzies has been arrested multiple times in interactions with both Liberal and Conservative politicians.

That includes a 2019 arrest in Whitby, Ont., during a campaign stop by former Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, who is now Opposition House leader. Menzies was arrested after multiple members of Scheer's staff repeatedly asked him to leave and told him he was not welcome to attend the event.

At the time, Scheer told reporters that it was the Conservative party's policy to not give interviews to Rebel News, saying his event was for accredited media only.

In July 2021 in Thornhill, Ont., Menzies was arrested at an event for Melissa Lantsman, who is now deputy leader of the Conservative party. She was the nominated Conservative candidate at the time.

Lantsman said in a press release following that episode that Menzies was asking her "homophobic" questions that related to her sexual orientation. She ultimately left the event because she felt unsafe, she said.

Rebel News said at the time that Menzies had not made any homophobic remarks and that he was arrested because of the questions he was asking about her work.

In most of those cases, Rebel News crowdfunded following the arrests for money to "save David Menzies."
Hahahaha, at that time Ezra's low tone of voice response was: Ohh he did not make any "homophobic" comments.

How about Pee Pee who as usual is presently moaning and groaning about "freedom of press":

Poilievre did not respond to a request for comment. Neither did Lantsman or Scheer.
.

Yes, the Conns are the biggest hypocrites!!

They didn't do "breaking the peace" though, did they?
The cop stepped into his path and then claimed the reporter assaulted him when he was bumped into.
That seems like bullshit.

we could probably rhyme off dozens of asshats that do the same or similar. Let’s start with Star reporters that hounded Rob Ford……………..way beyond his professional life/duties hours.

as far as Freelands claim politicians don’t interfere or influence the police. Let’s look at the RCMP and Nova Scotia or Liar liar Blair and the G20 and the single largest abuse of civil rights, and while a stretch from the police…..SNC and JWR…

Menzies and the rebel?
he might be an asshat, and the rebel trash but its not the first or last. And at least what little is available, isn’t that “his” job? To ask politicians more than just softball questions with scripted answers?

You've probably watched the video more closely that I have.

Menzies is a nuisance who follows his victims around, sneaks into private property and lies. This is how he works. Mitch posted his crap incessantly when Busty Lemieux was the big talking point for our local rightie numpkins. Menzies snuck into a private teacher's meeting, ambushed Busty and then made a scene when he was physically compelled to leave.

I'm sure that Menzies does exactly the same shit incessantly and has bumped / been bumped by security countless times. This was just another such occasion.

So there was probably an element of "He's back and physically right in our faces again." when security saw the grifting jackass.

News for you Skoob. You can't just go up to anyone you like, follow them around, step in their path and get in their face. It's called "breaking the peace" and the cops will intervene and arrest you and take you out of the situation. It's the law.

But then you're the guy who claims judges can't enforce order in their courtrooms during a trial because - hey! - freedumb!

Flap your arms like a buzzard, skooby!!!
