Canadian government Censorship Bill C-11 unnecessary because legacy media does dirty work for them. For Immediate Release: May 1, 2023
National – “The legacy media has been depriving Canadians of balanced information and truth about
the destructive government response to COVID-19 for three years”, says Ches Crosbie KC,
administrator for the National Citizens Inquiry. Mr. Crosbie, a former leader of the opposition in the
Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly, said “Government funded media like CBC and
others have enforced the government line on everything from the effectiveness of lockdowns to the
safety of the injections, some of which like AstraZeneca they had to pull from the market.” Crosbie
pointed out that according to evidence at the Inquiry, the current mRNA injections are heavily
contaminated and less safe than AstraZeneca, and yet they continue to be promoted. “Crickets from the
media on this life threatening safety issue”, he said. Crosbie added, “Government does not need Bill
C-11 censorship powers when they have an obedient press to do the dirty work for them.”
Crosbie issued a challenge to media that over 15 days of widely advertised public hearings, government
funded media, with one or two exceptions on the part of brave reporters and producers, has failed to
report even one testimony to indisputable facts. An example is testimony from emergency planning
expert such as Lt. Col. David Redman. This expert showed that governments chose to ignore their own
pandemic plans which warned of the enormous health damage which would be caused by lockdowns,
and that lockdowns could not prevent viral spread. Crosbie asserted, “They imposed lockdowns
knowing lockdowns would be ineffective against a virus and knowing the enormous damage they
would cause. The most damaged victims of government recklessness are a generation of our children.
By ignoring indisputable facts, the media is betraying our children.”
Crosbie added that “Without a free press, Canadian democracy will fail.”
