CANADALAND

Recordings of 911 calls from the night of the Portapique massacre have been leaked to the press, and they prove that the RCMP have been lying from the start about a crucial piece of information. But somehow it's the journalists that published the calls who are facing an angry public backlash. Frank Magazine publisher Andrew Douglas and reporter Paul Palango discuss their bombshell story, and what the RCMP may still be hiding about Gabriel Wortman.

There have been dozens of arrests at Fairy Creek... but not much footage to show for it. 

That's because the RCMP have been blocking and corralling journalists from freely covering the demonstrations. But according to court precedent and the RCMP's own guidelines, journalists do have the right to be present even when there is a court injunction.
So why does it keep happening? And why is it always Canada's independent media at the forefront of this fight?

Reporter Cherise Seucharan finds out.
