Trudeau Trying to Shut Down Independent Journalism in Canada, Says Rebel News Founder

By Michael Tennant

Ezra Levant, founder and CEO of Rebel News, said the Trudeau government has instituted a “Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization license” that gives licensed journalists tax subsidies and other favorable treatment.
