That is a great question. Canada has a commendable culture of free press. That's certainly reflected in Canada's ranking in the index, but that is not to say that there aren't always ways to improve.
Certainly there have been isolated incidents where journalists, whether they were covering the “freedom convoy” protest recently or whether they were covering indigenous protests in British Columbia late last year, have found themselves blocked from doing their jobs by the authorities on the ground. That is something that RSF is always strongly against.
When we're talking more in the global sense of how we can protect the profession of journalism, especially online, one interesting project that RSF has been working on recently is the journalism trust initiative. It essentially establishes the metrics by which we can measure authentic journalism.
You would go to a store and buy a refrigerator assuming that the refrigerator is always going to comply with international standards, that it's going to be safe, that you can have it in your home, but there is really no equivalent of international standards for what we would consider authentic journalism. That's what the JTI would seek to create. Essentially, it's a completely voluntary questionnaire that media organizations can participate in to become JTI-certified.
