Rebel News Podcast

Every Friday evening on Rebel Roundup, we get together with other Rebel contributors to review the week's headlines, from the serious to the absurd. Settle in and enjoy! It’s official: GM’s Oshawa assembly plant is shutting down. And worse yet, you can expect more misery for the Canadian auto sector if Justin Trudeau gets his way with a carbon tax. Rebel Commander Ezra Levant will serve up all the...

Do journalists care about getting the facts right? The journalists rated themselves 4.8 out of 5. But the general public? They give journalists just 2.9 out of five stars. GUEST Anthony Furey

On November 13th, 2018, Calgary's residents wisely voted against a two-week-long legacy party for Mayor Naheed Nenshi. In a municipal plebiscite where over three-hundred thousand ballots were cast, over 56 per cent voted “No” to Calgary hosting the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Thank God. It was a rebuke of the wasteful priorities at Calgary city council, a rejection of the corruption of the Internat...

This wasn’t staying neutral in the face of evil — which is execrable, which surely we have learned from in history. No; this was positively siding with evil.

It’s a sign of how broken Canada is, that not just union bosses, but the media, and the courts, and political leaders, and “civil society” including charities, take it for granted that it’s OK to attack oil and gas jobs, and to campaign and sue and protest them into submission. But God forbid a car company wants to move away from Trudeau’s uncompetitive tax regime — well, it’s a national crisis, a...

GM isn't the only company in the news. And do you think that’s going to get better or worse when Justin Trudeau’s national carbon tax kicks in fully? GUEST Manny Montenegrino

Every Friday evening on Rebel Roundup, we get together with other Rebel contributors to review the week's headlines, from the serious to the absurd. Settle in and enjoy! Hey, guess which party has the biggest war chest for next year’s federal election? Well, it’s the Media Party, of course, thanks to more than half a billion dollars in Liberal welfare. Rebel Commander Ezra Levant serves up all the...

TONIGHT I'll show you the Media Party's reaction to that one sweatshirt, from reporters at the National Post and the Globe and Mail. So the real news is that 2,000 Calgarians had a peaceful but noisy protest against unemployment being foisted upon them. And the media reports were that Nenshi and Trudeau hugged it out, and that someone wearing a novelty shirt wanted to kill Trudeau obviously and he...

This is bad news for us in some ways — we’re going to be attacked even worse than before.  And for you, as a viewer, and for your fellow citizens, isn’t it proof that The Rebel is needed more than ever? 

Big Labour has started campaigning for left-wing politicians early, a year out from the next federal election. Canada’s mega union, Unifor, has declared itself the “resistance” to Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer in a comical photo showcasing a handful of sour union faces posed around a stern looking union boss named Jerry Diaz. The image has spawned dozens of bad jokes and memes. Unifor, C...

I’m for peace and freedom, and civil rights, and I hate the Saudis. But I hate the Iran and ISIS alternatives more. And this Jamal Khashoggi? Yeah, it’s sad, but he’s not high up on my list of the world’s victims...

What's weird is that Celine Dion's clothing for kids is gender-neutral. These clothes are as ugly as you’d think. GUEST: Lorne Gunter

I learned a lot; frankly, my esteem for Harper went up — I think he’s clearly warmed to Donald Trump, not necessarily his personality, but his achievements. It’s tough not to, especially if you're an economic expert like Harper. GUEST Joe Warmington

Every Friday evening on Rebel Roundup, we get together with other Rebel contributors to review the week's headlines, from the serious to the absurd. Settle in and enjoy! A hate crime against four Jewish teens was committed in Toronto earlier this week. But why are the police being tight-lipped about who the assailants are? Rebel Commander Ezra Levant will offer his analysis. Pakistan is a hotbed o...

Canada’s largest journalism union announces it will campaign against the Conservative Party

I met an interesting character over the weekend at our Rebel Live event in Calgary and she was such a hit, such a rising star, that I think we should all get to know her a bit better. She’s a hidden gem right now, but I don’t think she’s going to stay that way. Kelly Day is a new political YouTuber and an incredibly talented musician. She performed such a stirring and haunting rendition of Owen Be...

Doug Ford will not object to any pipeline, and in fact he’s talking with other premiers about getting things going again. I think it might be all for naught. Trudeau and Notley and their crews will not let a pipeline live. But Trudeau won’t be prime minister forever. GUEST Allum Bokhari

The media is already losing interest in the story; and as I write this, Justin Trudeau has not yet written a tweet about it; so every moment that passes confirms for me that my two sources are correct; for if it had been a white supremacist group or right wingers who attacked these Jews, Trudeau would weaponize this moment into a political denunciation of his enemies. GUEST Yishai Fleisher

So where is Canada? We took 50,000 unvetted Muslim migrants from Syria. Will we take one Christian refugee, out of solitary confinement in Pakistan, where she’s literally at risk because of blasphemy laws and rioters? If Canada does take her, many Canadians will welcome her. But not all of them... GUEST Joe Warmington

Every Friday evening on Rebel Roundup, we get together with other Rebel contributors to review the week's headlines, from the serious to the absurd. Settle in and enjoy! So, post-U.S. mid-term elections, why exactly did that anticipated big blue wave turn into a little blue trickle? Rebel Commander Ezra Levant joins us to offer his analysis. Speaking of a failure to launch, one of the most bizarre...

Ezra Levant reads Kipling's poem "Tommy," and plays a song he recently discovered about the plight of the soldier. GUEST Sheila Gunn Reid

I’m concerned about anti-Semitism, because I’m a Canadian, and because I’m a Jew. Donald Trump isn’t the cause of it. And I won’t say Justin Trudeau is. But too many of his decisions are... GUEST: Count Dankula

Have you heard about the UN Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration? Canada is about to sign onto this agreement but many Canadians are in the dark about what the agreement is and what it will do to Canadian sovereignty. This global compact for migration isn't about refugees, or people fleeing violence, persecution, war, disease or even famine. It’s about economic migration and even more b...

So Trump held his own against the Democrats. But the real enemy of course is the U.S. media. But what about our state broadcaster, the CBC, created specifically to promote Canadian culture? They actually sent down their Ottawa political reporters to the U.S., to stir up anti-Trump sentiment. CTV and the Toronto Star got in on this too, as I'll show you tonight. GUEST Joel Pollak

A human rights oriented NGO called UPR, which stands for Universal Periodic Review. They try to press certain governments to be more humane, by getting other countries to ask them about their human rights records. Most countries asked China about Tibet, and their Muslim minority and so on. Guess what Canada asked... GUEST: Gordon Chang
