What we saw after the federal leaders’ debate was disgraceful. Rebel News & other far-right outlets were allowed to dominate the post-debate press. No journalistic standard, just propaganda. This is how democracies erode and how fascism creeps in, like we’re seeing down south with our American counterparts.

We must stand up and demand better from our institutions.
