For John, BLUF: We think of our Canadian neighbors, our Canadian Cousins as unsparingly polite, and they are, except when it comes to free speech. In the area of free speech they tend totalitarian. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From Rebel News (Canada), by Editor Ezra Levant, 10 April 2021.
Here is the lede plus five:
50 heavily armed police just raided the hotel where our Rebel News reporters were staying in Montreal.Remember, this is Canada, although it is Quebec.I told them they couldn’t come in without a search warrant. So instead they manhandled me. They handcuffed Keean Bexte. And They just put David Menzies in the back of a police car.
Police have sealed off the AirBnb we were staying in with police tape — they say it’s a “crime scene”.
Of course it’s not. In fact, when we asked them what the “crime” was, all they could come up with was that our staying in the hotel was an illegal “gathering," contrary to Quebec’s lockdown laws.
That’s obviously not true. It is a registered, legal hotel rental on Airbnb. In fact, we had fewer guests than the facility is built for.
This is the same Montreal police who have harassed and assaulted our reporters for weeks. This is their revenge. Because we report on their misconduct.
I remember a video in which some Canadian Government lawyer reminded Editor Ezra Levant that there is no First Amendment in Canada. Sad. Very sad.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
