1. For six months, Trudeau's CBC lied about Danielle Smith. There is simply no other explanation, other than it was Trudeau interfering in Alberta's provincial election.

And it almost worked...
2. First the CBC said there were emails from Danielle Smith's office pressuring prosecutors to drop pandemic prosecutions. They did dozens of stories built on that lie.

Then they admitted they hadn't seen any emails, but their source was adamant, so they were standing by it.
3. The non-partisan civil service conducted a massive search, reviewing more than a million emails. Not a single email that even came close to the CBC allegations were found.

But the CBC stuck with their lie, repeating it daily throughout the election campaign.
4. The CBC's lies were weaponized by their allies in the NDP, who filed an ethics complaint against Smith, based on the CBC lies. The ethics commissioner, a former judge, conducted a massive investigation -- right in the middle of the election.
5. 44 prosecutors on pandemic files was interviewed. Every single staffer in Smith's office.

Not a single one had sent or received such an email. The judge said there simply was no evidence of it.

Still, Trudeau's CBC lied, telling the lie daily during the campaign.
6. The election came, and Danielle Smith won a majority. And still the CBC lied.

Only yesterday, six months after the lie, and a month after the election, did the CBC finally admit that there were no emails. In an editor's note on the original lie.

Oh, and they "regret" it.
7. No-one who works for that disgraced disinformation mill can ever be called a "journalist". A "government journalist", maybe, a "Trudeau journalist", maybe. But not a journalist.

The CBC are exactly what they accuse you of: they're conspiracy theorists who peddle fake news.
8. The apology was clearly written by lawyers -- Smith had threatened the CBC with a defamation lawsuit. The mealy-mouthed "regret" is probably enough for her to drop the suit. I am sorry she will, because the lawsuit would have had real value...
9. Party of a lawsuit is the examination of internal records -- emails, texts, chats, etc. To see the coordination between the Trudeau Liberals, the Notley NDP, CBC's Toronto headquarters, and the Alberta CBC shills would have discredited the CBC for a generation.
10. I spoke with the premier yesterday. I asked her why she would even talk to such "journalists" anymore. They work for the Trudeau-NDP coalition as a dirty tricks shop. Why treat them as anything else? I'll show you her answer on my show tonight at 8 p.m. ET on Rebel News.

1. Some stats about Danielle Smith's election win in Alberta.

Smith won 53% of the popular vote, just a touch down from Jason Kenney's 55% result in 2019.

By contrast, B.C.'s David Eby won 48%, Quebec's Francois Legault won 41%, as did Ontario's Doug Ford. (Trudeau won 33%).
2. Kenney's 55% election result melted away as he imposed a harsh lockdown. The last opinion poll taken before Kenney resigned had the UCP at just 34%. Smith added 20% to that.

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Albe…
3. Smith held Kenney's UCP vote. But the fringe parties on the left coalesced around Notley's NDP. The Green Party got just 0.8%; the Liberal Party vanished, getting just 0.24%. The vanity party called the Alberta Party went from 9% to 0.72%. Source: results.elections.ab.ca/8400

1. Why is the CBC so adamant that Danielle Smith of her office sent emails to prosecutors? The civil service searched more than a million emails and found none. All 44 prosecutors in question said they didn't receive a single one. All 32 political staff said the same.

...2
2. The ethics commissioner, a former judge, said "I asked numerous questions of a considerable number of people about the existence of any email and could find no evidence that the event occurred, or that any email exists." Here's her report: ethicscommissioner.ab.ca/media/3124/all…

...3
3. So if no-one sent the emails and no-one received them, and two non-partisan investigations prove it, why is the CBC still claiming a series of emails were sent to a number of prosecutors? Not even one was found. And the CBC admits that it hasn't even seen the emails!

1. Every police chief that testified before the Emergencies Act commission said the same thing: there was no need for martial law to handle the truckers. That’s the test in the law: a) a national emergency that b) can’t be handled by existing laws. This ruling is an inside job.
2. Of course the political establishment will cheer — one of their own has vindicated them. But this is devastating to already-weak public support for our legal, political and police systems. To the public, this is proof that the elites care about each other — not about the law.
3. Never before have our institutions been so distrusted or disrespected by the people. The pandemic broke our faith in experts; the lockdowns broke our faith in authority; the propaganda broke our faith in the media; and now judges are of no use against a rogue establishment.

Shoddy journalism by Tom Blackwell. Put aside his gratuitous insults and political bias, he just didn't get his facts straight. He didn't call me for the story (which is weird) but I don't think he even read the lawsuit, which you can find here: TwitterLawsuit.ca.

.../2
Blackwell says Catherine McKenna blocked me on Twitter and that I sued her. Neither is true. She has never blocked me and I've never sued her. What a weird error -- he clearly didn't read the lawsuit before writing about it.

.../3
McKenna blocked @SheilaGunnReid, which Blackwell would have see on the first page of the lawsuit, had he read it. Or had he bothered to call me for a story about me. Again, sloppy.

I think her next point was the biggest one: the obsessed crown prosecutor claims there is only one way to understand Artur's speech -- as criminal incitement. Sarah points out that there are obviously other ways of understanding it. This is important because...
...we don't "know" which way Artur "meant", because he didn't testify (as is his right). So we're all guessing: did Artur mean what he said; did he mean something else; or did he mean (as the prosecutor says) to incite a crime? Well, we don't know beyond a reasonable doubt.
Again and again, the prosecutor said he wished he could have cross-examined Artur to ask him about his feelings and thoughts. That was really weird and emo to me -- it was something the prosecutor should have saved for commiseration with other prosecutors, or maybe for his diary.

I am back at Lethbridge Court House. The trial of Pastor Artur Pawlowski will resume in a few minutes. I will be live-tweeting the trial here, and you can see my longer form reports at SaveArtur.com. You can also chip in to Artur's legal defence fund there.
The sole evidence before the court is this 19-minute sermon/speech that Pastor Artur gave to the truckers at a saloon near the Coutts border blockade during last year's trucker convoy. The government says this speech is a crime deserving imprisonment:
And yet the video is available on YouTube right now. Clearly they don't think it's a crime, and they are absurdly politically correct and censorious. The police who were in the saloon obviously didn't think it was a crime, they didn't arrest Pastor Artur. The police checkpoint...
