in World News Mark Carney continues Trudeau’s legacy of silencing independent voices

After watching the smug, power-mad volunteers at Carney’s rally Friday night ban and even threaten with arrest those independent media “not on the list” I’m beginning to wonder if he fancies himself a dictator.
When Caryma Sa’d — an independent journalist I’ve come to know and respect for her fairness since I retired from the Toronto Sun — tried to get into a rally at a Scarborough church, she was stopped at the door by four pathetic girly men drunk with their own power. She kept telling them she’d registered and indeed, as she told me Sunday, she signed up “well in advance.”
She said she even received a text message telling her the details about the venue would be forthcoming. But she never received the follow-up correspondence.
One girly man, who never took off his sunglasses even though it was starting to get dark, smirked that even though she may have registered for the rally, she didn’t have the QR code and she wasn’t “on the list.” She told me, and I could see on her video from the incident, that he was “very smug” about denying her entry and said “we know who you are.”
When she dared ask this smug coward (he never took off his sunglasses) to elaborate as to why she’d been profiled, two others jumped into the fray (likely with the intent of intimidating her): A pot-bellied man wearing a huge cross who claimed to be “security” and another man wearing a security vest who appeared way out of his depth.
She said she discerned from remarks made by the RCMP there that the Liberal party had provided a list of people not allowed to be on-site and she was on said list.
