Rebel News was blocked from covering the biggest moment of the G7 Summit—a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney—after Global Affairs quietly changed the rules at the last minute.
An initial email from Global Affairs at 8:14 a.m. said the 9 a.m. bilateral meeting in Kananaskis was “open to all media.” But with accredited journalists based in Banff or Calgary—each nearly an hour away—it was already a logistical impossibility for most to attend.
Then came the bait-and-switch.
