TONIGHT I'll walk you through the astounding document released by Trudeau yesterday, called “Enhancing Citizen Preparedness.” But there's more: The Media Party has been having secret meetings, to talk about how to divide up the $595 million bail-out. Is that how we make laws and policy in Canada? In secret, elite, invitation-only meetings? GUEST Janice AtkinsonSupport Rebel News Podcast

Is free speech dead on campus, and is the radical left holding a bloody knife over the corpse? Not as long as there are young people like my guest, agitating against censorship and advancing free expression on campus against a post secondary culture of safe spaces and the tyranny of feelings. Last time I checked in with Angelo Isidorou, he was in the middle of a tempest of his own making as his free speech club at the University of British Columbia attempted to host an event with conservative commentator and author, Ben Shapiro. And the campus cry babies were losing their minds - likening the uncomfortable experience of having Shapiro speak somewhere near them to the horrors of Charlottesville and the murder that took place there. But in the face of that heavy and hyperbolic opposition, the show went on and everyone lived to cry and complain another day. And Isidorou went on to plan a new event with his next controversial speaker, comedian Owen Benjamin. Tonight, Isidorou joins me to tell us what it was like to bring Shapiro and Benjamin to speak at UBC, give us an update on the the state of free speech on campus and to discuss his foray into party politics.Support Rebel News Podcast

Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau’s principal secretary, took time away from everything else he was doing that was less important (like Canadian hostages in China, an industrial crisis in Alberta) to weigh in on this matter on Twitter, not once, but four times, as I'll show you TONIGHT.

Believe it or not, the battle over "CanCon" is back. This will really be about censoring, blocking and deplatforming any competition. Whether it’s music, comedy shows — or news and opinion, like ours. GUEST Allum BokhariSupport Rebel News Podcast

Chrystia Freeland’s job before becoming an MP was as a star journalist. She worked for Thomson Reuters, one of the largest news companies in the world. And they were starting a new venture, called Reuters Next. Reuters spend $20 million on it. It was a major project but not as major as running a government department. So how did that all work out? Well, tonight we'll look back at that fiasco. It should have been a red flag. GUEST Lorne GunterSupport 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! While the year is young, did we just collectively witness the worst example of fake news in 2019 – namely, that story depicting a teenager with a Kentucky Catholic School being vilified for supposedly disrespecting a native elder? Ezra Levant is loaded for bear regarding the fakery and the fallout. Once upon a time, former Edmonton Journal reporter, Paula Simons, was a free press champion. So what happened? Well, she received a senate appointment from Justin Trudeau and now it seems she's taken a vow of silence when it comes to the provincial government in Alberta interfering in press freedom. Sheila Gunn Reid will explain all. In the department of “what were they thinking”, is Gillette’s new and not-so-improved ad campaign that suggests too many men embrace so-called “toxic masculinity” supposed to make guys want to buy Gillette razors and shaving cream? Martina Markota joins us to explore the question. And finally letters. I’ll share some of your feedback on my commentary on the infamous “Tiffany” Moore, that freaky femme who freaked out in a GameStop store over being mis-gendered? Support Rebel News Podcast

One of the fascinating details was that it took 300 personnel to catch these two men today. If it takes 300 police and others to monitor one jihadi — how do you monitor 100? Or 1,000? Well, you can’t of course. Maybe the thing is to let in fewer of them in the first place. GUEST: Joel PollakSupport Rebel News Podcast

It took the full day before Canada said a word about Venezuela. Trump responded quickly. Not our Chrystia Freeland. While 100,000 people took to the street of Caracas, Freeland was too busy on a media panel discussion at the fancy jet-set conference in Davos, Switzerland to make a statement.

I am a critic of Alberta Education Minister David Eggen. I think he is anti-Christian, anti-parent, and is failing the children of Alberta. I think he should be fired for these reasons and more. But when we asked Premier Rachel Notley to fire her terrible Education Minister using a billboard on highway 2, we were fined $5,500 by Alberta’s mercenary — a powerful new bureaucrat called the Elections Commissioner. We’re now under the threat of escalating fines and even an injunction if we don’t stop being critical of the NDP. We’re fighting back against this censorship and bullying. You can see the full story and learn how you can help at www.StandWithTheRebel.com. If the NDP think their threats and fines will stop us from talking about how they’re attacks on parental rights in education are harming Alberta’s children, they’re dead wrong. Joining me tonight is journalist Alex Newman of the New American Magazine. A fellow global warming skeptic, we met at the UN Climate Change Conference in Poland but Alex is also an educator and co-author of a book that details how progressives are using schools to transform the culture. Watch as we discuss parents rights, common core, his upcoming Calgary speaking engagement at Freedom Talk, and his book - Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America's Children.

Compare that to what Canada's ambassador to China, John McCallum, said today (at a press conference to which no mainstream media were invited — just Chinese media...) He actually says, twice in thirty seconds, that Meng Wanzhou has a good case! And any judge who want to be elevated, say, to the Supreme Court, or the court of appeal, had better please Trudeau’s man on this one. GUEST: Cassandra Fairbanks Support Rebel News Podcast
