Recently, Rebel faced press freedom issues as the Notley NDP tried to block us from events. Many in the media stood with us and now VICE Canada is facing much graver consequences if the courts don’t side with them in their press freedom fight.
Journalist Ben Makuch was able to interview former Calgary resident and suspected Islamic State militant, Mohamed Farook Shirdon, by tracking him down using social media.
While it’s understandable why the mounties want to speak with this terrorist who has threatened Canada, they shouldn’t be forcing a media outlet to hand over information on a source because it would set a dangerous precedent.
If you believe in free media and you stood with Rebel, then it’s time to stand with VICE.
Just the police bully reflex at work here – path of least resistance is intimidation rather than police work. Goon some little wiggler into giving up info you should already have if you spent any energy on the investigation.
Frik, if this was US intel they’d already have coordinates on his cell phone signal and a drone would do the rest – there jihad that ya raggedy-assed punk. What message does it send to these dollar store Jihadis when the nation’s police force admits some dorky media drone knows more about our enemies than they do.
Time for the RCMP to drop the Tim Bits and do some police work.
If Vice Rats on this Guy, the cell phones will be ringing and there will be another Press Office shot to hell.
take on down Freedom and democracy crumbles
United we stand divided we fall
There is strength in numbers RISE CANADA
2) trudeau administration is probably sending him monthly subscription of that passport because canadian is a canadian is a canadian
Brian is right and I stand with Vice!
And questions are arising whether the aforementioned are working with Russian security apparatuses.
Just sayin’.
There should be a total cleansing of this shameful organization starting with Paulson and down to every commander.
These so called police leaders are nothing more than political hacks with political agendas.
