Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland yesterday said she played no role in police handcuffing of a Rebel News reporter after he asked her a question outside a public meeting. Freeland would not discuss Monday’s incident or her past advocacy of press freedoms: “We categorically condemn anyone who in any way intimidates and harasses journalists.”
