Trudeau's ban on independent journalists comes back to bite him

Justin Trudeau and his office routinely bar and block independent journalists from attending their press conferences and otherwise having any opportunities to ask him questions. And yet, when Keean Bexte of the Counter Signal tracked Trudeau down to a Tofino beach, many of Trudeau's defenders said it was in poor form to hassle a man on a vacation with his family. True North's Andrew Lawton says he would agree if Trudeau didn't shield himself from journalists he didn't like during the rest of the year. Also, the Competition Bureau is looking at what it suspects might be "anticompetitive" practices guiding gas prices. Dan McTeague from Canadians for Affordable Energy joins to weigh in. Plus, despite how much politicians love to talk about free trade with other countries, there isn't even free trade within Canada. Interprovincial trade barriers are costing the economy $200 billion a year, a new report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business says. CFIB interprovincial affairs director Keyli Loeppky joins the show to discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
