1. I just spoke with Alexa Lavoie, our brave reporter who was just assaulted by Trudeau's police. She tells me a cop hit her three times with a club and then shot a tear gas canister at her leg from point-blank range.

Trudeau has instructed his police to attack journalists.

2. Alexa says she was specifically targeted by a cop who saw her camera. She says he came up to her and beat her and pushed her down. She says he tried to knock the phone out of her hands, to stop her from filming.

3. Here is video of the attack. I understand we have more footage. Unprovoked, targeted violence, beating a woman with a stick, and shooting her at point-blank range with a tear gas round.

4. I have spoken with Alexa and with legal counsel. We will sue the police on Alexa's behalf.

I know the rest of the Media Party is delighting at Trudeau's brutality and martial law. But we still believe in peace and freedom.

Help me StandWithAlexa.com.

5. Trudeau has had a vendetta against Alexa ever since she asked this question of him during the election debates (after trying and failing to keep her kept out):

6. Just last fall Trudeau’s personal bodyguards beat up our reporter David Menzies.

7. I do not accept this. I do not accept the targeting of our journalists for violence by Trudeau’s thugs. I find it repugnant to see police hit a woman with a club and to shoot her to inflict pain & distress. Help me sue the police for Alexa. Please go to StandWithAlexa.com

8. Our reporter Alexa was attacked. Another independent reporter, @AndrewLawton was pepper-sprayed yesterday.

I have yet to see a peep from @caj, @PENCanada, @AmnestyNow, @CJFE, @pressfreedom, etc.

They do not oppose martial law or the crackdown on dissident journalists.

9. Here's the moment the cop shot Alexa:
