RICHMOND HILL, Ont.—Rebel News reporter David Menzies was arrested on Jan. 8 while asking Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland questions after a plainclothes RCMP officer blocked his path outside an event in Richmond Hill, Ont.
In a video published by Rebel News, Mr. Menzies is seen asking Ms. Freeland why Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is not listed as a terrorist organization, as the deputy prime minister and a companion walk to an event commemorating the anniversary of Iran’s shooting down of Ukrainian flight PS752 in 2020. The tragedy killed all 176 occupants, including 55 Canadian citizens and 30 Canadian residents.
