Enough is enough. Today we sued Chrystia Freelandâs RCMP bodyguards for roughing up our reporter David Menzies. And weâve retained two of Canadaâs top lawyers to do it.
You can read the lawsuit for yourself right here. (Take a look at paragraphs 41 to 51 â theyâll make you furious.)
The lawsuit is only 18 pages long and itâs written in plain English, so itâs an easy read. Please take a look at it â I want you to see our case against the government.
Weâve assembled a dream team of some of Canadaâs best lawyers. The lead lawyer is Lawrence Greenspon, a senior criminal lawyer from Ottawa. You probably know him as Tamara Lichâs lawyer, brilliantly defending her against the governmentâs prosecution for her role in the trucker convoy. And with him is Sarah Miller, a meticulous lawyer from Calgary. For four years she has been defending Pastor Artur Pawlowski against a barrage of nuisance prosecutions during the pandemic lockdowns.
I know these two lawyers well and there is no better legal team in the country.
David and I recently sat down with Lawrence to go through the lawsuit together. We made a video about it. Itâs half an hour long, but if you are passionate about freedom and standing up to bullies in government, I think youâll want to watch every minute of it, maybe even twice.
As you can see, this isnât just about suing Freelandâs bodyguards for assault and false arrest. Thatâs in there of course. Itâs also about showing the ongoing pattern of abuse that the government directs at Rebel News, including a previous assault on David, attacking our reporter Alexa Lavoie with batons and a riot gun, and a pattern of punishing us simply because we criticize Trudeau.
Thatâs our allegation: the assault on David was part of a sustained violation of our civil rights as journalists. And weâve got mountains of evidence to prove it.

I think Freelandâs bodyguards just expect us to walk away. After they smashed David against the wall, handcuffed him, humiliated him and drove him away in a police car, they must have realized they were in trouble, because they dumped David off in some nearby parking lot and told him they werenât going to proceed with charges against him.
Well, weâre not done with them.
If you can help us, please do. Thereâs no way this lawsuit will cost us less than $100,000. And the government will throw their unlimited resources against us. I bet they hire no fewer than four lawyers, at taxpayers’ expense, to try to stop us from getting justice.
But you know what? Weâve had enough. For more than eight years Trudeauâs thugs have pushed, shoved, punched, handcuffed, arrested and abused us â and then just walked away as if thatâs normal in Canada. And certainly, the mainstream media doesnât care.
But I care â both as Davidâs friend, and as a Canadian.
Please help me pay for this legal dream team, to send a message to Trudeau and his thugs: this is Canada, not his favourite country of Communist China. We have rights here, and police arenât allowed to simply beat up journalists in the street.
Weâve chosen the best lawyers because we absolutely need to win this one.
Today is the day we fight back against Trudeauâs bullies. If you agree with this lawsuit, please help me level the playing field by chipping in a donation right here on this page.
NOTE: Iâm almost done my new book â and itâs all about Trudeau. If you chip in $250 or more to help me cover Davidâs legal fees, Iâll hand-sign a copy of my book when itâs done next month, and personally ship it to you. Thatâs a win-win â you get a collectorâs edition of my new book, and David gets the legal help he needs! Please join the fight today. (Thank you.)
