A high-profile Canadian pollster is publicly expressing strong opinions of his own regarding the arrest of Rebel News reporter David Menzies and the denial of bail to the Coutts Four.
In a Wednesday post to Twitter ("X" ), Angus Reid said the footage of the arrest was "damning" for the police, not Menzies.
"The video shows a damning picture of police behaviour. Freeland could at least have said something like 'quit bothering me' before the RCMP security guy acted like a thug when he assaulted Menzies. The bald cop and Freeland will wear this a lot longer than the hapless reporter," Reid said.
"One final comment on the Menzies issue. My concern is about police behaviour. Some of my readers think what happened was totally acceptable given Menzies past & affiliation with Rebel. I disagree. Look at the video and draw your own conclusion."
On December 28, Reid also questioned the media silence on the seemingly indefinite incarceration of the Coutts 4 without bail.
"Has CBC has done a stellar job on Coutts? Last story I found was June 2023! The broader issue for me is about charter rights & innocence before proven guilty. I did not support the border blockade but two years in remand stuck me as excessive & demanding public scrutiny."
When some commenters said Reid's opinion compromised trust that should be put in his polling, Reid replied,
"WTF, this is my personal opinion. It has zero to do with the polling we carry out. When people can’t understand the difference they’re blocked for stupidity."
Reid's profile blurb also reflects this sentiment. "This is my personal account where I express MY OWN opinions. Fine if you don’t agree with me but don’t disparage the polls we conduct."

In scenes that are becoming all too familiar, New Year’s Eve celebrations across Europe turned sour as many events turned violent, resulting in clashes with law enforcement.
In the Netherlands, Dutch authorities reported widespread assaults on emergency services, with heavy fireworks injuring police and firefighters, leading to 250 arrests and two fireworks-related deaths.
The European Conservative reports that police deputy chief Wilbert Paulissen issued a statement noting that “nearly every Mobile Unit officer available in the Netherlands was deployed, with maximum effort continuing through half the night.”
In several Dutch cities, water cannons were brought into action, alongside local law enforcement deploying pepper spray.
In the city of Breda, police were faced with attacks from Molotov cocktails and paving stones.

A full decade of epic failures and scandals piling up like trash: SNC-Lavalin interference, WE Charity cronyism, ArriveCan billions flushed down the toilet with zero accountability, ethics violations stacked higher than the national debt, housing crisis exploding while they dither, violent crime spiking, inflation crushing families… All while they pat themselves on the back.
And that’s just the Trudeau era highlights! Now we’ve got parachute king Mark Carney forced his way into Nepean, booted out the sitting MP to grab the riding and the PM job—but how many MONTHS did it take him to even open a goddamn constituency office? Six months? More? Too busy wheeling and dealing for Brookfield while delivering ZERO real wins for everyday Canadians.
Trust in this leadership is obliterated. People are asking the hard questions because we’ve watched one ridiculous mess after another slide by with NO consequences. Transparency isn’t optional anymore—it’s F**KING REQUIRED.
