  • Why parental choice in education is the single-most important battle of our time (Guest: Alex Newman, New American Magazine)

    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.

  • Trudeau’s ambassador to China switches sides — and makes China’s case against Trump

    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

  • Victoria, BC hates fossil fuels — so let's cut them off

    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. GUEST: Pardes Seleh

  • Rebel Roundup: Guests Kurt Schlichter, Ezra Levant & Sheila Gunn Reid

    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.

          • Yellow Vest convoy to Ottawa organizer sets the record straight (Guest: Glen Carritt)

            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.
