This morning's episode of #RiseAndGrind with Mel (@Melodocious33) and BertaProudDad was eye-opening and thought-provoking. We discussed the eclipse happening today and delved into the reasons behind the government's decision to implement a state of emergency in the United States and Canada where the eclipse will be most prevalent. Additionally, we addressed the troubling arrest of rebel news reporter David Menzies, whose freedom of speech rights were infringed upon while covering Palestinian protests outside of a Justin Trudeau fundraiser.It is imperative that we stand up for our freedom of the press and support journalists like David who are committed to bringing important stories to light.
