During Thursday night’s federal election leaders debate, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was asked a question by Rebel News, who were allowed to participate in the event following a federal court ruling, whether his government stands by their decision to not give them accreditation for the debate.

Trudeau said accreditation is done by the press gallery and by a consortium of networks with “strong perspectives on quality journalism.”

Trudeau went on to say that “organizations like yours that continue to spread disinformation and misinformation about vaccines, around how we’re actually going to get through this pandemic,” adding “I won’t call it a media organization – your group of individuals need to take accountability for some of the polarization that we’re seeing in this country.”
