UN Climate Summit blocks Rebel News — again

Sheila Gunn Reid discusses how the United Nations refused to allow Rebel News into its climate change conference in Brazil despite an email claiming Rebel News was accredited.

The United Nations climate conference in Belém, Brazil, is underway — and, in true UN fashion, it took all of ten minutes for the hypocrisy to hit us in the face.

For the first time in nine years, Rebel News was officially accredited to enter the conference grounds. We got the approval emails. We got our work visas. We flew half way around the world.

Another one by Chetwynd will be next. Is this part of Premier Smith's chess move? I didn't ask him but just one of my rambling thoughts. He lives in an apartment in Squamish and his power bill for 2 months was about $47.00. It is B.C. hydro and government owned so no fees other than actual power. They don't use natural gas so electricity is for heating, cooling and cooking. His water on the other hand is over $80.00 and have a meter on each unit and charge for hot and cold water and sewer. Interesting!
