Truth—dragged out of the deepest hole where it has been long hidden—has not only pulled the Kill Switch on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s tyrannical Bill C-11, but provides the lifeline that will spare Canada’s few independent media outlets from certain sudden death.
The rotting corpse of Trudeau’s CBC state broadcaster has been laid out in antiseptic sunshine for all to see—thanks to Rebel Media.
It was feisty, in-yer-face Rebel Media CEO Ezra Levant who brought into the full sunlight, one of the most shocking stories of our times—and as it happened, brought it out into the light on World Press Freedom Day”
“World Press Freedom Day serves as a reminder that censorship continues to plague our society. Just last week, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced a massive Internet censorship bill, C-11, and announced ethics guidelines for Canadian newsrooms. (Ezra Levant, May 3, 2023)
“Tonight on the Ezra Levant Show, Ezra reveals exclusive documents obtained by Rebel News that show senior executives of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), including its president, Catherine Tait, engaged in an ongoing campaign to pressure Twitter into censoring people and content that the CBC disapproved of.
“The targets of this censorship campaign align with those that Trudeau has publicly criticized.
“The documents reveal Tait making veiled threats against Twitter, insinuating that if the platform doesn't ban the people the CBC wants silenced, the CBC might stop advertising on Twitter.
“Furthermore, the CBC implies that it has direct connections to Trudeau's government, and if Twitter doesn't comply, the CBC will have the government intervene.
“In one letter addressed to Paul Burns, Managing Director of Twitter Canada, Tait complains about harassment and abuse faced by journalists on the platform.
“She pushes for a meeting to establish a clear and effective process for removing hateful material targeting journalists.
“Another letter to Stephanie King, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, urges the removal of tweets containing what the CBC considers hate speech. The CBC claims these tweets are dangerous and violate Twitter's policies.
“In a letter to Jack Dorsey, Twitter's CEO, Tait expresses dissatisfaction with the response she received from Twitter Canada's representatives and requests a meeting with Dorsey to discuss removing offensive material from the platform. (Rebel News)
“She then threatens to share her concerns with the Canadian government, which is proposing legislation to address online hate. Tait implies that she would rather have Twitter take action on its own than have the government interfere.
“These documents expose the CBC's willingness to make business and political threats in pursuit of their censorship goals, making it difficult to distinguish between the broadcaster's and Trudeau's political policies.
“It's important to question what the CBC and Trudeau administration might have said behind closed doors and what they have achieved with pro-censorship companies like YouTube and Facebook.
“Catherine Tait's actions demonstrate a disregard for the principles of journalism and the freedom of the press. As the president of a public broadcaster, she should be focused on promoting free speech and fostering independent journalism.
“Instead, her behavior aligns her more closely with a political operative masquerading as a journalist, contributing to the spread of fake news.
“The revelation of these internal documents should serve as a wake-up call for Canadians and the global community. It is vital that we continue to fight for press freedom and resist the censorship efforts of government-controlled entities like the CBC.”

As Levant points out, all of this happened before Elon Musk bought Twitter.
In the Canadian Game called News Censorship, Trudeau and CBC have all the marbles on their side, courtesy of the public purse which pays CBC more than one billion dollars each and every year.
World attention is currently focused on the Fox News and Tucker Carlson split. Mainstream Media ignored is that CBC is the Fox News of Canada.
Canadians, who jokingly refer to the CBC as the ‘Communist Broadcasting Corporation’ have waited patiently over the years for the Official Opposition to defund the CBC from taxpayer financial support.
It never happened.
Now, Rebel Media, the same independent news outlet Trudeau so desperately wants rid of, has brought Canadians a TSUNAMI OF TRUTH.
Unearthing shocking documents that show the ugly head of Trudeau’s CBC state broadcaster telling Twitter it must censor tweets or Trudeau would bring in laws to force them to do so, is destined to have a world-wide impact.
Will WEF founder Klaus Schwab continue to publicly praise Trudeau and “half of the Canadian Liberal cabinet” as prized members for the so-called ‘Great Reset’?
Perhaps there is still hope for the return of a sovereign Canada before Trudeau came into power and ceded our nation over to WEF control.
Ironically, at the end of the day it won’t be Rebel Media who will have brought CBC’s overbearing house in order—but CBC chief financial supporter and chief booster PM Justin Pierre James Trudeau.
Meanwhile, Kudos Ezra Levant for reminding Canadians that the TRUTH—and only the TRUTH CAN SET US FREE!
