On today’s very special episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice and Juno News co-founder Keean Bexte discuss a letter he received from the Commissioner of Elections Canada informing him that he’s being investigated under Section 91 of the Canada Elections Act for supposedly knowingly misleading the public during an election.

If found guilty, Keean faces up to five years in prison and a $50,000 fine.

Juno News unequivocally stands by our story and our reporter. These allegations are false and that this investigation is politically motivated – with the intent of intimidating independent journalists and silencing dissent against the governing Liberals.

And we need your help to fight back. The Liberals are betting they can wear us down, bankrupt us, and send a warning to every journalist in the country. They’re dead wrong.

On today’s show, Candice and Keean discuss his report that prompted this investigation, where he painstakingly documented several disturbing allegations against former Liberal candidate Thomas Keeper based on firsthand testimonials from multiple independent sources. Keean even visited the Liberal Party campaign office in Calgary to hand deliver questions to Thomas Keeper – and Keeper called the police and made false allegations against him.

Keeper did not sue Juno News directly or allege defamation. Instead, the Liberal Government is bullying us with a criminal investigation.

As Candice reports, the Trudeau Government made changes to the Canada Elections Act back in 2019, using the Russia-gate hoax as justification. The Canadian Constitution Foundation challenged the law, and in 2021 it was struck down as unconstitutional by an Ontario judge.

The Trudeau Government made minor edits to the law, and this appears to be the first time anyone in Canada has been investigated under this act. There are three different tests that would need to be met in order for the government to charge Keean:

That he lied in his reporting

That he knew he was lying, and reported it anyway

That he intentionally wanted to interfere with the election by lying

All three of these allegations are wrong. Our story is based on corroborated first-hand accounts from multiple independent sources, so Keean didn’t lie – he certainly didn’t knowingly lie, and we released it to inform the public – not sway the election.
