“You’re not welcome here,” was the message Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s campaign team had for independent media journalists who tried to attend his launch in Edmonton, Alberta. While the event welcomed legacy media journalists, independent reporters were told they were not welcome and barred from entry. Police refused entry to True North’s Isaac Lamoureux after he arrived at the venue to cover Carney’s official campaign announcement. Other independent journalists including The Western Standard’s James Snell, The Counter Signal’s Keean Bexte and freelance reporter Mocha Bezirgan were also denied access. https://tnc.news/2025/01/16/carney-bans-independent-media-campaign-launch/
