Received this from a senior member of Minister Lecce’s staff.
“I don’t appreciate you tweeting that we aren’t responding to you.”
For context:
Over the course of the last few weeks I’ve been emailing, tweeting and trying everything possible to interview Minister Lecce.
Hi
@VancityReynolds
! I’m Wyatt! I’m 13 years old, I’ve previously interviewed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh, Doug Ford, Steven Del Duca, Andrea Horwath, former Finnish PM and many more!
Would you ever be willing to join me for an interview? It would be via zoom.
Grandma, I will miss the memories of you waiting every week for my latest article. I will miss you talking to me about my interviews. I will miss visiting you and hearing about your memories. We will all miss you ❤️
All reporters who were on the ground the past over 20 days in Ottawa, deserve our thanks.
This weekend we were shown, how important it is to respect journalists.

I’m sorry - I find this hard to understand.
Why can’t someone go to the movies with his son?
Maybe the real issue — is that someone can’t go to a movie with their son, without comments being made from you.
People’s personal lives are nobody’s business.
Actually, I’m a non-partisan journalist. I talk to everyone.
I’ve spoken with Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre, Jagmeet Singh and every other party leader on my show. I’ve even spoken with Presidential Candidates.
It’s my job to present facts and then have people decide.
"People’s personal lives are nobody’s business".
Yeah... People's "personal" lives cease being "personal" and cease being "nobody's business" when they openly post it to social media for public adulation and virtue-signalling point.
Especially *after* they asked for "privacy".
Terry Fox should be left out of this protest. Terry Fox fought for solutions to better Healthcare, I understand people are frustrated with COVID-19 and some of the restrictions that have came with it. But, you shouldn’t bring a hero, like Terry Fox into your protest.

Hi Mark! My name is Wyatt Sharpe. I’m a 14 year old journalist. I’ve previously interviewed Justin Trudeau, Members of Congress, Presidential Candidates and many others.
I was wondering if you would be willing to join me via zoom for an interview?
Thanks!
The only reason, I decided to share this — was because I couldn’t keep thinking what kind of a message this sends to other younger journalists? I can tell you, it’s not good.

I’d like to correct this messaging. I produce/edit/record/create my show, 100% on my own.

I do all my own work, with help from absolutely nobody, asides from taking input from viewers on how to improve my journalism.

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say stuff like “the media isn’t covering the protest, fairly,” and then proceed to disrupt journalists when trying to cover the convoy. If you have an issue with a story, then critique it, but enough with insults, and disruptions like this.

This is not acceptable. Full stop.
As Rachel said, using this for clicks is just not okay, and it needs to stop.
What message is it sending to future journalists, young Canadians, etc? It’s not good, I can tell you that.
These accounts have all retweeted Sheila’s post, which calls death and rape threats “mean tweets.”
They have 1,275,800 followers combined.
I’m tagged — called “hysterical” for speaking up.
What’s the goal?
What message do they want 1.2 million people to take from this?
