So much of downtown Victoria has become like the infamous East Hastings Street in Vancouver — just a perpetual shantytown — homeless people; drug users; mentally ill; criminals. But suing fossil fuel companies and declaring states of emergency about global warming and the rising tide is so much easier than actually have to solve any problem.

This is what they did to Brett Kavanaugh; this is what they did to an anonymous kid from Kentucky. This is what they will do to you. And by “they”, I don’t just mean the lying thugs on the street. I mean the lying thugs in the media. Including the lying thugs in our own Canadian media, especially the CBC. GUEST: Count DankulaSupport 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! A Canadian now sits on death row in China, but it seems that Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland is too busy going to bat for assorted foreign nationals as opposed to taking an interest in a Canadian citizen who might pay the ultimate price. Ezra Levant joins us to try to make sense of it all. Remember back in 2015 the Trudeau Liberals promised to be the most transparent federal government in Canadian history? Well, that was then and this is now. Sheila Gunn Reid will explain how the Trudeau Liberals are all about suppressing information that should be made public. Talk about a Mexican standoff! President Trump is insistent upon receiving funding for a wall on the southern border, while Democrats are refusing to compromise or negotiate. Kurt Schlicter will offer his take on how things are likely to play out in the days ahead. And finally letters. I’ll share some of your feedback on my commentary on a cop who inexplicably concluded that a senior citizen who was returning about $9 worth of empties to a beer store, was surely a drunk driver and threatened the man with a $2,000 fine unless he submitted to a breathalyzer test.

Tommy Robinson got a 13-month sentence for doing journalism — and he served 10 weeks of it in solitary confinement. Turgut Adakan participates in an acid attack and brutal beating outside a gay night club — and he’s told to be on good behaviour. GUEST Sheila Gunn ReidSupport Rebel News Podcast

It’s not really about controlling the weather. It’s about controlling people. Or “climate equity”. Which means changing how we live — changing the law, changing spending — using the climate emergency as the excuse. GUEST David MenziesSupport Rebel News Podcast

Canada Action has officially canceled their convoy to Ottawa but the mission to bring Alberta's concerns to Justin Trudeau's doorstep, is far from over. According to a Canada Action press release “unfortunately, we have come to the decision that it is no longer viable to proceed with our planned convoy. We cannot confidently mitigate the unexpected challenges associated with this event. As such, we will be issuing full refunds to all of our donors.” But, the Yellow Vest convoy is still going ahead. They have truckers willing to participate, they’re raising cash to get them there, and a lot of people are involved. These two convoys - both scheduled to leave the same day - were often painted as duelling convoys from competing movements. Canada Action and Rally for Resources have both been explicitly anti-Yellow Vest convoy from the beginning, disassociating themselves from the other movement. According to the Calgary Herald, Cody Battershill from Canada Action said “if they are yellow vest, we will not be doing anything with them and I’ve made that clear to them” and “For us, yellow vest is from France — we are Canadian, we are focused on Canadian families… In France, they were rioting and that’s not Canadian, either.” The Yellow Vest movement is portrayed as controversial, but that’s what happens with an organic movement that doesn't have a manifesto defining the motives and goals of the people behind it. The lack of defined goals and motives leaves a vacuum where one’s enemies can fill in the blanks. I’ve been one of the few people to wade into the Yellow Vest protests and convoys to directly ask attendees for their opinions at events across the province, and have found them to be diverse, colourful and frustrated and while there maybe be fringe elements attaching themselves to the movement, that shouldn’t taint the whole group. Last week Bernard Hancock joined me on the show to talk about oil and gas issues. He doesn’t like the Yellow Vests and told me why. Fair enough. So this week, I’m joined by the main organizer of the Yellow Vest convoy to Ottawa. Glen Carritt is a small businessman from central Alberta who’s just trying to make it in a bad economy, and he’s here to answer some tough questions about the allegations of racism, xenophobia and hatred levelled against him.

TONIGHT I'll show you Kim Gehrig's commercials for other products. These videos reveal what she thinks of masculinity, and traditional ideas of feminine beauty, too. Frankly, some of her previous work is very upsetting. GUEST Michael KnowlesSupport Rebel News Podcast

TONIGHT I'll take you through Trudeau's cabinet shuffle in detail. No matter who he moves to which post, Justin Trudeau's cabinet is still based on cronyism, on unwavering and uncritical loyalty, on extreme sycophancy over merit, and on meeting an arbitrary gender quota.

Now that she's here, why can’t we hear even one word from Rahaf Al-Qunun herself? She has been quite loquacious on Twitter. We know her name, her father’s name, her details, everything. Everything except what Chrystia Freeland said and did, and what promises were exchanged. GUEST John Carpay.Support Rebel News Podcast

Tonight I'll show you what the CRTC is proposing. Some is quite Orwellian. Some is contradictory. Some is just laughable. But the meaning is still crystal clear: They intend to regulate voices on the Internet they don’t like. GUEST: Marc MoranoSupport Rebel News Podcast
