Five armed police officers forcibly removed accredited journalists from Mark Carney’s press conference in Edmonton.

Journalists, including The Counter Signal’s Editor In Chief Keean Bexte , had received official accreditation the night before to cover Carney’s announcement for his Liberal Party leadership bid.

However, upon arrival, security unexpectedly barricaded the door, blocking entry to Bexte and other accredited reporters.

Despite holding valid credentials, Bexte was physically removed from the event. As he was being dragged out, he noticed Carney campaign affiliate and Liberal MP George Chahal observing from the corner.

Chahal previously made headlines after being caught on video tampering with campaign materials during an election in Calgary.

The incident raises serious concerns about press access and transparency in Carney’s campaign. While mainstream media outlets were allowed to remain, independent journalists were forcibly ejected, prompting further questions about Carney’s commitment to democratic principles.

Bexte had intended to ask Carney about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
