Carney staff attended meeting on blacklisting certain media
The confidential meeting brought together various government departments to discuss which reporters would be blacklisted or “accredited.”
New documents show that federal bureaucrats quietly held a closed-door meeting to decide which reporters could be “accredited” and which ones would be effectively shut out of federal access.
The discussion, revealed through Access to Information records obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, took place just weeks before World Press Freedom Day, even as the government publicly praises Canada’s commitment to a free and open press.
