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 gruesome details. The migrant caravan has made it to the U.S. border, and now the street theatre for the media begins. But are these Central American refugees fleeing oppression... or are they opportunists hoping to game the system? Kurt Schlichter joins us to offer his take. It may have been foolhardy of late-missionary John Allan Chau to try to spread the gospel in a very dangerous place. Still, it’s disturbing to see how his death is being covered by the media in certain quarters. Ben Davies shall explain all. And finally, letters. Tonight, I’ll share some of the letters we received regarding my Q&A session with attendees at the Toronto event featuring Bill and Hillary Clinton. Let’s just say this: most didn’t appreciate my so-called “inappropriate” questions.. Support Rebel News Podcast

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 FureySupport Rebel News Podcast

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 International Olympic Committee and a rare win for common sense and accountability in Alberta politics. Will this whole expensive and secretive debacle be a gut check for City Hall? Or will Mayor Nenshi simply move on to the next expensive pet project to be laid at the feet of Calgary taxpayers? Joining me tonight to discuss how Calgary dodged the Olympic bullet, and what's on the horizon for Calgary taxpayers suffering through the worst economic recession in a generation, is taxpayer advocate, William McBeath, from municipal accountability group, Save Calgary.Support Rebel News Podcast

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.Support Rebel News Podcast

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, and Trudeau had better come with a bail-out...

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 MontenegrinoSupport 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! 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 gruesome details. When it comes to crossing the Canada/U.S. border, there’s apparently an unofficial new rule in 2018: Makers are inconvenienced, while Takers – i.e., irregulars – receive 24/7 concierge service! Sheila Gunn Reid drops in to explain all. The latest Fantastic Beasts movie is a progressive panacea. So why are the progressives panning this flick? Well, it’s not progressive enough! Ben Davies weighs in on this latest unintentional comedy. And finally, letters. Tonight, I’ll share some of the letters we received regarding my report on the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty that was protesting... um, something... last weekend. Support Rebel News Podcast

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’s really, really scary!Support Rebel News Podcast

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? Support Rebel News Podcast

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, Canada’s largest private sector union representing auto workers, oil sands workers, and journalists alike, has the money, the means, and the media, on their side. However, suddenly the CBC is interested in conservative third-party spending in elections. CBC’s resident conspiracy theorist, Wendy Mesley, spoke to the founder of Ontario Proud, Jeff Ballingal, about how his small conservative social media meme-based political action group is shaping the way people view conservative politics, now that he’s got his sights set on Justin Trudeau. You see, CBC didn't care much when American environmental groups were dumping millions of dollars into the arms of Canadian activists to block Canadian pipelines and cripple the Alberta economy. They don’t bat an eye as Unifor declares war on Conservatives, using union dues from members to wage political battles with little to no spending transparency required. But now that conservatives are fighting back, the CBC is worried about big money influencing politics. Give me a break! Joining me tonight in an interview recorded earlier this week to talk about how Big Labour sways Canadian elections, the mainstream media and influences geopolitical outcomes, is author, researcher and activist, Bill Tufts.Support Rebel News Podcast
