@RebelNewsOnline @SheilaGunnReid @RebelNews_CA @IndependentPG @ezralevant Thank you, Sheila, for your strong statement on the hurdles independent journalists face. I would add that protest coverage is typically adversarial, in taxing environments, and that independents are frequently the only source of accurate, on-the-ground reporting.

IPG President @SheilaGunnReid says Ottawa is blocking independent journalists, calling it a "two-tier" media system that excludes "millions of Canadians."
"We've seen officials refuse questions from independent outlets—and reporters arrested for trying to question ministers."

@SheilaGunnReid calls out "workplace harassment" from CBC at the Leaders' Debates Commission:
"The CBC accused our journalists of misinformation, and then denied us the right of reply."
"They called the SPVM [police] on us. That's not appropriate journalism."

.@SheilaGunnReid explains what a journalist is and dissects the differences between legacy and independent media outlets.
Independent journalists are "honest about their political biases," she says. "They don't try to obscure them the way we see at the CBC or Toronto Star."

@SheilaGunnReid @IndependentPG @KerryDiotte Ntumba asks Menzies to explain giving money to news consumers rather than the companies.
Menzies says you could give families $1,000/year for subscriptions, so you subsidize their consumption of the news, the consumer gets the choice, it flows to the publishers.
