Yesterday, we told you about Canadian radio personality Dean Blundell. He recently published a list of donors who gave money to the Freedom Convoy via crowdfunding site GiveSendGo.

Blundell’s intentions aren’t exactly subtle, to be sure. But while it’s one thing for a disgraced radio host to try to get donors doxxed, it’s something else entirely for a national broadcasting company to be using identification information to put the squeeze on private citizens.
Which is exactly what the CBC is currently doing, according to conservative Canadian journalist and RebelNews publisher Ezra Levant:
BREAKING: Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster is combing through the illegally hacked database of GiveSendGo donors, and emailing donors asking them to explain themselves.

Trudeau’s state broadcaster is doxxing Trudeau’s political opponents. They’re teeing them up for financial punishments. This is not journalism, anymore than Der Sturmer or Pravda was journalism.

Levant’s scoop has officially earned the “WTF if true” designation.
This is truly awful.
Wow. https://t.co/nnpAJG8bUr— George Wept (@GeorgeWept) February 15, 2022
This is so much worse than the Cambridge Analytica scandal
The use of hacked information to politically target citizens is morally grotesque. The people who are doing this at the CBC are the villains of the story. https://t.co/EtHK7AB4hz

If it’s as Levant says, then we would appear to have a textbook case of a head of state using a willing state media to crush dissent.
There is not emergency. There is no violence. Most premiers told Trudeau this is ridiculous and unnecessary. Trudeau is using it as a pretext to criminalize conservative crowdfunding.

Wouldn’t be the first time Justin Trudeau took his inspiration from China.
