Conservative website says it was denied credentials for UN climate conference
Ezra Levant is hoping Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will go to bat for his conservative online publication The Rebel, after he says it was barred from a United Nations climate conference.
Levant says The Rebel applied for credentials for three journalists to attend the UN climate conference known as COP22 in Marrakech, Morocco, in November.
The application was made a month ago and he didn’t expect a problem, he says, because thousands of credentials are typically issued.
But when the response came about two weeks ago, it stated that the application was denied because credentials aren’t issued for advocacy media outlets, he says.
