Rant of the Week: Trudeau's government won't silence me

On September 13, 2024, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken alleged that Russia's state-owned broadcaster, RT, is working with Russia's intelligence services to spread harmful disinformation in the West.

Blinken's statement was immediately followed by a similar statement from Canadian Foreign Minister, Melanie Joly. In her statement, Joly specifically referenced the fact that certain Canadians appear on RT to criticize Western foreign policy. Also, Canada's Minister of Public Safety, Dominic Leblanc, declared that "any Canadians who illegally assist in Russia's persistent attempts to use disinformation... will face the full force of Canadian law.”

One of those Canadians is Dimitri Lascaris. In his latest Rant of the Week, Lascaris explains why he accepts invitations to appear on RT and declares that he has no intention of ending his relationship with RT, despite the Trudeau Government's veiled threat.
