Trudeau lambasts far-right site for spreading Covid misinformation –video

Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said Rebel News needed to take responsibility for polarising opinion across the country about coronavirus vaccines.

After the official French-language federal leaders' election debate, Trudeau was questioned by a member of Rebel News, which counts Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson among its contributors, about Canada's rules that exclude some from election press conferences.

'I salute all extraordinary hard-working journalists who put science and facts at the heart of what they do and ask me tough questions every day, but make sure that they are educating and informing Canadians from a broad range of perspectives - which is the last thing that you guys do,' he responded.
