THE REBEL BUZZ

Rebel News Canada

June 17, 2025

Good morning Rebels!

David, did you catch last night’s episode of The Ezra Levant Show on RebelNews+?

Ezra broke down how Prime Minister Mark Carney, former Bank of Canada governor and current globalist poster boy, rolled out the red carpet for Donald Trump at the G7 Summit — and got away with it without a peep of outrage from the media or the Left.

If a Conservative had done the same, it would’ve been a national scandal. But Carney’s fawning welcome? Crickets.

Ezra also explained how Rebel News had to take the Canadian government to court just to attend the G7 summit in our own country. And even after the government backed down, they kept pulling tricks to keep our reporters out of the media scrums.

Plus, Ezra was joined by independent journalist Richard Inman to unpack the aftermath of the Northern Ireland protests and the heavy-handed police response.

G7 Reports

This weekend’s G7 Summit in Kananaskis is a closed-door gathering of global elites, shielded from public scrutiny and media accountability. Rebel News was initially banned from attending and had to sue Mark Carney to fight for access. While the legacy media offers unquestioning praise, Rebel News is on the ground to expose the real story — challenging censorship, uncovering backroom deals, and reporting what Canadians aren’t supposed to see.

Dear David,

The G7 Summit is officially underway in Kananaskis, Alberta — where leaders from the U.S., Japan, France, Germany, Italy, and the U.K. have gathered to discuss trade, global security, climate policy, and more.

As the host nation, Prime Minister Mark Carney is setting the agenda for this year’s event. And despite his best efforts to block our access, Rebel News has been on the ground since Sunday — reporting alongside media outlets from around the world. (Click here to learn about our fight to get accredited and help us cover the legal bill.)

In this report, I’ll take you inside the media centre Mark Carney worked so hard to keep us out of, show you what we’re doing here, and share the moment President Donald Trump arrived for his first official visit to Canada since his re-election.

Click here to watch.

G7 leaders converge in Alberta as global conflicts rage on

We went above and beyond to get accredited at the G7 — but Global Affairs Canada, the department responsible for media access, still pulled a fast one.

At the last minute, they quietly changed the rules, granting privileged access to government-funded outlets while excluding us.

The result? Rebel News was denied the chance to cover the most significant moment of the G7 Summit: the high-stakes meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Sheila Gunn Reid breaks down what happened in this report:

Global Affairs Canada shuts out independent media from

It’s been a whirlwind weekend in Kananaskis, Alberta, covering one of the most powerful gatherings of world leaders on the planet.

Leaders should ignore Trump outbursts at G7 summit: Former PM Chretien

Chretien urges leaders not to take bait if Trump wants to 'do something crazy'

Former prime minister Jean Chretien says dignitaries attending next week's G7 leaders summit in Alberta should avoid engaging with the "crazy" from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Chretien, speaking Thursday at a conference in Calgary, said leaders can't predict what Trump might do, but said Trump can be a bully and it would be best if the rest of the G7 leaders ignored any outbursts.

"If he has decided to make a show to be in the news, he will do something crazy," he said. "Let him do it and keep talking normally."

Chretien said leaders should follow the example set by Prime Minister Mark Carney when he visited Trump at the White House last month.

"When Trump talked about Canada to be part of the United States, [Carney] just said 'Canada is not for sale, the White House is not for sale, Buckingham Palace is not for sale,'" Chretien said.

"Trump said, 'Never say never,' [but Carney] didn't even reply. He just moved on with the discussion. It's the way to handle that."

Carney is hosting Trump and world leaders from France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy and the European Union for the three-day summit starting Sunday in the Rocky Mountains southwest of Calgary.

Chretien, who was speaking alongside his former deputy prime minister and finance minister John Manley, also said he supported Carney's decision to invite India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the summit.

Carney has been criticized for extending the invitation, including by a member of his own Liberal caucus, due to the ongoing tension between the two countries over foreign interference and the killing of Sikh separatism activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in B.C. two years ago. The RCMP has said they have evidence linking members of the Indian government to the killing.

"It's always good to talk," Chretien said of the Modi invite. "They will be able to talk and they will see there are other problems."

"You have to navigate. You cannot always go on your high horse for every little problem you're confronted with."

Chretien was one of two former Canadian prime ministers speaking at the conference, which is being hosted by the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy and the G7 research group.

The conference features a series of panels about past G7 summits and international affairs.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was set to speak alongside the public policy school's director Martha Hall Findlay about the role her province plays in the global energy market.

Former prime minister Joe Clark was to give the closing keynote speech.

The university says the conference is meant to bring experts and officials together to explain key issues G7 leaders are facing heading into the summit.

As G7 kicks off today in Kananaskis, here's how it's expected to impact the Calgary region

From traffic delays to tighter security, disruptions from the high-profile event will be obvious

After months of preparation, the G7 summit kicks off today in Kananaskis, Alta., a three-day summit that will see the popular wilderness destination locked down and the surrounding region play host to global leaders, media, and support teams from around the world.

A heightened police and military presence is now in place, with security officials calling the undertaking the "largest domestic security operation" a country can take on.

World leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, U.S. President Donald Trump and leaders from France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union, will attend the summit.

Others have also been invited, including Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Here's what you need to know about road closures, airport delays, protests and more as the G7 gets underway.

Area locked down

The summit itself is running June 15 to 17 in the remote mountain setting of Kananaskis Village. A controlled access zone has been in effect since June 10, and will remain until June 18.

In the Calgary region, expect a heightened police and military presence. Security for the summit is being headed up by an integrated group which includes the RCMP, the Calgary Police Service, Alberta sheriffs, Alberta conservation officers and the Canadian Armed Forces.

Those in the Calgary region can expect to see more uniforms, more military vehicles, and more aircraft in the area than usual. There will be a "no drone zone" in Calgary and Kananaskis, and the RCMP has said that unauthorized drones or aircraft will be met by RCMP or Canadian Forces aircraft and could be shot down as a last resort.

The establishment of the controlled access zone is also affecting multiple trails, trailheads, and day use areas, with some locations closing entirely and others remaining accessible only up to the zone's boundary.

Locations such as Three Sisters Parkway, Mount Lougheed Viewpoint, Barrier Lake and Stoney Trail are open to that boundary, but areas including Rummel Pass Trail, Sparrowhawk Trail and the High Rockies Trail are fully closed.

Protest zones outlined

In anticipation of demonstrations, the RCMP and Calgary Police have established "designated demonstration zones," including in downtown Calgary. 

Another zone will be set up near the Calgary International Airport, at the Edward H. LaBorde Viewing Area. 

There will also be a designated protest zone in Banff, at the Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre.

RCMP have said that these zones are intended to ensure minimal disruption to critical infrastructure, ensure safety of demonstrators, the public and law enforcement, while providing visible and accessible locations for peaceful assembly. Some protest groups have pushed back against the idea of "designated demonstration zones."

Security officials have said people have the right to assemble outside demonstration zones, but police are encouraging people to gather in those zones for safety reasons. 

Expect disruption at airport

The Calgary Airport Authority has said it's ready to process an average of 67,000 travellers per day through the summer, thanks in part to the G7, Rotary International Convention, and the Calgary Stampede.

During the summit, no stopping or parking is allowed around the airport perimeter from June 14 to 18. The airport tunnel will be closed from June 15 to 18.

Unattended vehicles at curbside will face immediate enforcement, and drone use anywhere near the airport will see violators facing steep penalties.

Some temporary closures or stoppages may also be in effect as delegates are moved out of or into the airport through rolling motorcades, the airport authority said.

Those with a flight during the G7 are encouraged to give themselves at least 30 minutes more time than usual to arrive at the airport.

Public transit and alternative routes

During the summit, officials are encouraging residents to consider leaving the car at home in order to help reduce congestion, instead using public transit, cycling or carpooling.

Alternative routes may be activated during the period of the summit to help manage traffic flow, the city says.

There are likely to be minor traffic delays, especially when heading west toward the mountains.

There will also likely be increased motorcade activity and rolling road closures, the city says, especially around the airport and in the downtown core.

On the road to the G7 in Kananaskis, a popular wilderness retreat locks down

'It's a big hoopla, for sure,' says bus driver contracted to drive law enforcement outside zone

"Please, allow me to show you my bus that I drive for G7," says the driver.

Willi Mair makes his way around the side of the coach, a late-model Canadian-made Prevost. It's branded with the name of the company, Sunshine Coach, and painted with three slices of sunset red and golden yellow. 

He steps up the entrance of the bus and leans into the driver's area. The coach has all of the conveniences, Mair notes — he can lower the front for older people to come on board. It's got seatbelts, for safety. There's a washroom in the back.

"And it is, of course … air conditioned," he concludes, proudly.

Red seats are pictured in a bus, a man waves to them. Willi Mair with Sunshine Coach points to the interior of the bus with 56 recliner seats he's using to drive G7 security officials and staff around. (Acton Clarkin/CBC)

Just a few days ago, Mair's bus was full of RCMP officers, heading to the G7 summit. They weren't in uniform, but they came carrying heavy bags. Mair, who likes to help passengers load their luggage, was surprised at their weight.

"I was afraid I would pull the handle off just by lifting," he said.

But the officers were very nice. Casual.

"And going to work, I guess."

Tuesday was the first day a controlled access zone came into effect in the Kananaskis region in advance of the G7 summit, a gathering of leaders from seven of the world's advanced economies. The summit has brought a significantly heightened police and military presence to this area. 

WATCH | Here's what the new Kananaskis G7 security perimeter looks like:
 
Here's what the new Kananaskis G7 security perimeter looks like

RCMP have established a secure 'controlled access zone' surrounding Kananaskis Village ahead of the G7 summit there from June 15-17. The CBC's Acton Clarkin and Joel Dryden went to the zone's border to find out what's off limits and learn more about final summit security preparations.

Now that the zone has come into effect, Mair is only driving security officials and staff from the Calgary International Airport as far as the Stoney Nakoda Resort and Casino, a little more than 25 kilometres from the summit site.

White tents at the casino play host to vehicle screening and act as a passenger switch-over point. Screened vehicles are escorted into the controlled access zone. Other passengers are moved in on pre-cleared buses.

"It is a big hoopla, for sure," Mair said. "But, it has to be this way."

Screening zone White tents are set up outside the Stoney Nakoda Resort and Casino, used for vehicle screening and as a switch-over point for passengers travelling on buses cleared by officials. (Acton Clarkin/CBC)

Police forces come to Alberta to support

The Bearspaw Kananaskis Travel Centre sits in the next parking lot over from the Stoney Nakoda Resort and Casino. Ellaina Benjamin is working the front counter.

Being situated right outside the road that takes delegates to the controlled access zone means these employees are seeing a lot — army helicopters, jets, and police from across the country.

"I kind of find it amusing, entertaining to see. It's something different, for sure. I got nosy yesterday and I was asking where their jurisdictions are from," Benjamin said.

A woman stands in front of a series of products. Ellaina Benjamin, who works at the Bearspaw Kananaskis Travel Centre, has been seeing countless security officials in the region as the G7 summit approaches. (Acton Clarkin/CBC)

Security for the event is being run by an integrated group that includes the RCMP, the Calgary Police Service, Alberta sheriffs, Alberta conservation officers and the Canadian Armed Forces, as well as other police services from across the country, including Edmonton, Winnipeg, and the Tsuut'ina Nation Police Service.

These forces are tasked with handling what officials have referred to as the "largest domestic security operation" a country can take on, with more advanced technological threats, including drones.

An image from an overhead view of Google Earth is pictured.     A map of the Kananaskis area where the controlled access zone will be established. (CBC)

Other threats are those outdoorsy Albertans may be more familiar with. 

Some of them come into view on a trip up the road to the controlled access zone. A sign on the side of the road advises motorists that the fire danger rating for Banff National Park is now classified as "Extreme." Near a blockade close to the summit site, a bear is seen scampering into the dense treeline.

Officials have said they're working to minimize the wildlife-human contact. In 2002, the last time the leaders' summit was held in Kananaskis, a bear was tranquilized and later killed after it came too close to the leaders' site. 

Near the Wasootch Ridge Trailhead, police vehicles wave motorists over, asking them to roll down their windows. From here, accreditation is mandatory for anyone who wants into the controlled access zone. 

Police officers stop traffic on a highway.     A controlled access zone has been in effect since June 10, and will remain until June 18. (Acton Clarkin/CBC)

Some anxious to return to natural spaces

The region will stay this way, locked down, until June 18. For those locals who have come to view Kananaskis as a retreat from daily life, the disruption can't end soon enough.

The Galatea day use area, Mount Lorette Ponds, and Little Lougheed Trail are among several recreational zones off-limits until the summit wraps up.

"It's closed all my favourite spots," said Nalyn Hill, who visits the area from Calgary almost every weekend with her dog. "I like to take him to Mount Lorette Ponds, especially … everything was blocked off. So, it's very frustrating."

A woman wears glasses in front of a mountainous scene. Nalyn Hill, a Calgary resident who visits Kananaskis often, said she's frustrated about her favourite escapes being closed during the G7 summit. (Acton Clarkin/CBC)

Though leaders will be situated within Kananaskis Village itself, the disruption isn't just being felt around the Kananaskis region. Calgary, Banff, and the surrounding area is playing host to media and support teams from around the world.

In Banff, international media will gather at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. Preparation was in full-swing on Tuesday, with crews checking technology and setting up stations for journalists to deliver their live reports.

 A row of cameras are pictured.    A row of cameras are laid out on the ground as organizers set up the international media centre at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. (Acton Clarkin/CBC)

Soon, leaders will arrive at Kananaskis Village, the international media centre will be bustling with activity, and the nearby site at the Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre will be open for those looking to protest.

Janice Hagel, who was taking a break from a bicycle ride outside the recreation centre on Tuesday, said she thinks the security measures are necessary given the scale of the event.

But she adds she'll be watching the outcomes of the summit closely.

"I'm interested in what they'll be talking about," she said. "And not only that, but what they'll be acting on."

No way Putin could have foreseen the wild success he's had in his bid to get a reality TV celebrity with zero political experience elected as President of the United States. Not even through the second year and already the guy is talking about pardoning himself, the country is a laughing stock and on the brink of a Constitutional Crisis.

Plus, the new Carney government is making a lot of commitments and they all add up, but where's the money coming from to pay for it all? Time for Good Talk with Chantal Hebert and Rob Russo.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith faces raucous, angry town hall on province's coal policy

Premier and several cabinet ministers shouted down by attendees

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and three of her ministers got an earful on Wednesday night from southern Alberta locals at a rowdy, hours-long town hall to discuss the province's coal policy.

About 500 people, many dressed in cowboy hats, belt buckles, and jeans, packed a community hall in Fort Macleod, Alta., for an event marked by heckling, competing applause and placards.

"If we are not prepared to look and find middle-ground solutions to allow for industries to proceed while reducing our environmental footprint, you're going to find that different industries become the next on the hit list," Smith said through a chorus of protesting voices and verbal jabs.

"Banning industries is just not something we are going to do."

The premier and her ministers of energy, environment and agriculture took questions and were shouted down on several occasions by attendees as they defended changes to the province's coal policy.

The event attracted people who both support and oppose a recently approved coal exploration project at Grassy Mountain. (Ose Irete/CBC)

Many in the crowd held small placards reading "lie" and "false," raising them each time they disagreed with a statement. There was a notable group that came in support of the province's coal policy, frequently applauding the ministers and answering back at other crowd members. Many attendees carried notebooks and pens, keenly taking notes throughout.

The town hall came weeks after the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) granted an Australia-based coal company permission to start a controversial coal exploration on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Northback Holdings Corp.'s project at Grassy Mountain was initially rejected in 2021 when a panel ruled that the likely environmental effects on fish and water quality outweighed the potential economic benefits.

Late last year, the project was exempted from the Alberta government's decision to ban open-pit coal mines because Northback's application was considered an "advanced" proposal.

The issue has been polarizing in southern Alberta, where the debate has primarily revolved around the economic implications of development against environmental effects. A non-binding referendum in Crowsnest Pass saw 70 per cent of voters saying they'd support the nearby coal project.

An image of people holding signs that read "No coal, no hole!" and "Save our water" are composed with an image of someone holding a sign that says "I love Crowsnest coal." Attendees brought signs to the event to both show support for and criticize the province's coal policy. (Ose Irete/CBC)

Despite frequent pushback over the two-and-a-half-hour event, Smith rarely chose to get into back-and-forth discussions with attendees. She defended the province's approach to coal developments, pitching responsible development that prioritizes environmental standards.

Smith also frequently cited a lawsuit by five coal companies that say they're owed $15 billion by the province in lost revenues and sunk costs. She argued again on Wednesday that she had taxpayers in mind when the province lifted its moratorium on coal mining and development on the eastern slopes.

"If we do nothing, then we are told we'll likely lose those cases and have to pay [$15 billion]."

Brian Jean, the province's energy minister, frequently challenged the boisterous crowd and at times trotted offstage to hand his business card to those asking questions.

"I live in the oilsands. You can't tell me what I'm concerned about and what I'm not concerned about. I'm very concerned about our Earth and our planet," he said.

Several questions returned to a new study by Alberta government scientists, yet to be peer reviewed, which recently said old coal mines on the eastern slopes are poisoning fish and any further coal mining there would result in "population collapse" of fish species in a nearby lake.

Asked about the report, Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz said the province is looking into the issue and is waiting for it to be confirmed by the peer-review process. She said further studies to be released later this year are being conducted.

"We want to understand what is happening there so that we can prevent that from happening in the future."

The premier also jousted with protesters while speaking to reporters before the town hall. When a group gathered behind her and started yelling, she turned around and asked them to let her finish the interview.

"I'm looking for a little bit of courtesy," she said.

The event was scheduled to last two hours, but Smith asked to take questions for an extra 30 minutes after the clock had run out.

Carmen Linderman, president of the group Citizens Supportive of Crowsnest Coal, made the drive east to show support for the coal exploration project.

"We believe that this can be done responsibly," she told CBC News. "Our community needs high-paying jobs, mortgage-paying jobs."

Laura Myers, who lives about an hour north of Fort Macleod, attended the town hall and described it as "emotionally charged."

"Those of us who are aware of this issue and have been fighting this issue for the past bunch of years don't trust [Smith]. We don't trust her. We don't trust the AER. We don't trust the people making the decisions," she said after the meeting.

"It seems like they're listening to Northback Holdings ... but they're not listening to Albertans."

Lethbridge Polytechnic student Alexx Olsen travelled to the town hall from Coaldale, Alta., to hear Smith respond to the concerns.

"There's been a lot of lost faith and she's going to have to work really, really hard to get that back," said Olsen. "I do not think she achieved that today."

G7: Why there is hope of a Carney-Trump tariff breakthrough at Alberta summit

Trade is the 'make or break issue' as world leaders gather in the Canadian Rockies, says expert

Global trade will be a major focus at next week's G7 summit as world leaders gather in Alberta, including U.S. President Donald Trump, who will be making his first appearance at a major international event since returning to the White House in January.

Experts and ambassadors are expressing some optimism that this type of event could be a difference-maker in convincing Trump to reduce the amount of tariffs charged on imports to the U.S.

Any possible concessions on the trade front would be welcomed by countries such as Canada, that are facing economic hardship because of tariffs.

"It's issue No. 1," said John Kirton, director of the G7 Research Group at the University of Toronto. 

On Wednesday, CBC News and Radio-Canada reported that talks between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Donald Trump are advanced enough that a document containing a draft economic and security agreement has been exchanged between the Prime Minister's Office and the White House.

Ottawa is stepping up its efforts in recent weeks to reach an agreement before the end of the G7 summit.

Global trade has slowed as a result of the ever-changing tariffs announced by Trump that have targeted various countries and also certain materials, such as steel and aluminum. In response, many countries, including Canada, have enacted their own tariffs.

Canada's unemployment rate has climbed to seven per cent, which economists say is a sign the trade war with the U.S. is taking a toll on the job market, especially the manufacturing sector.

Trade and tariffs are the "make or break issue" that will determine whether the summit in the Alberta Rocky Mountain village of Kananaskis Country is a success or not, said Kirton.

For now, he's hopeful the various leaders' meetings and one-on-one conversations could produce results. 

"[Trump] likes to deliver big wins and the other G7 leaders are smart enough to deliver agreements which are real wins," said Kirton, pointing to how countries could pledge to increase defence spending and make other commitments, in exchange for lower tariffs on imports into the U.S.

World leaders, including Carney, Trump and leaders from France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union, are meeting in Alberta from June 15 to 17 for talks on a variety of other issues, including climate change and managing rapidly evolving technology.

The summit is a high-profile event, yet only involves a handful of world leaders, which is noteworthy, said Gary Mar, CEO of the Canada West Foundation, an Alberta-based think-tank.

"One of the reasons the G7 is effective is because it's a small group. It's small enough that it's focused and can really be productive," said Mar, who was part of the welcoming party at the Calgary airport when world leaders arrived for the last summit held in Kananaskis in 2002.

Trade was not nearly as contentious at that gathering, but rather promoted as having a profound impact on economic growth and development around the world.

At the time, U.S. President George Bush even highlighted the value of trade with Canada during the opening press conference.

"We've got a significant relationship together. It's a vibrant, positive friendship," said Bush. "Trade is in the interests of all of us. There are some problems on occasion, but we've got the kind of relationship where we can be very frank about it and try to work them out."

The 2002 summit was held less than 12 months after the terrorist attack on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, which is why the main focus was to discuss the war on terrorism and responding to the threat of weapons of mass destruction.

Geopolitical tension and conflicts are expected to be one of the talking points at this year's G7, but the tariff situation will likely top the agenda.

Trade policy needs to be discussed urgently, said Matthias Lüttenberg, Germany's ambassador to Canada, while on stage at a recent event in Calgary to discuss the G7.

Free trade and open markets for Germany is "one of the most important pillars of our economic world view and it's the foundation of prosperity and sustainable growth for all of us," he said.

The G7 has an important role to play and the summit has value in producing results on global issues, Lüttenberg said, a sentiment shared by other ambassadors attending the G7 event.

"We know how it works and we have achieved so much together already. And I'm not only talking about leader statements, but it's also the practical work," he explained, pointing to the example of how the G7 agreed on certain sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, while also working toward how to help Ukraine rebuild.

Global economic growth is slowing more than expected only a few months ago as a result of the Trump administration's trade war, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development said earlier this month. 

The global economy is on pace to slow from 3.3 per cent last year to 2.9 per cent in 2025 because of the tariff fallout, the agency said, trimming its estimates from March for growth of 3.1 per cent this year.

Subject: WOW! Mark Carney’s lawyers blink, allow Rebel News into the G7!
To: David Amos <David.Raymond.Amos333@gmail.com>

Dear David,

Mark Carney banned us from attending the G7 Summit, which starts this weekend in Alberta. He refused to accredit us — and he had no reason other than political spite and a thin skin.

So we did what few people know how to do: we rushed to court. And I mean rushed!

Our legal eagle, Sarah Miller, drafted the lawsuit very quickly. (If you haven’t read it, it’s an easy read — click here or go to www.LetUsReport.com.)

In my bones, I knew we were right — Carney’s foreign affairs department had no justification whatsoever for keeping us out, and unlike Trudeau’s debates commission, which tried to ban us twice, this time they didn’t even try to come up with excuses. Carney just refused to accredit us.

But that doesn’t cut it when you’re a government violating freedom of the press.

WOW! Mark Carney's lawyers blink, allow Rebel News into the G7!

So I knew we had a good chance, given that the Federal Court of Canada has already — twice — slapped down the Liberals for trying to block our journalists. But you never know what’s going to happen in court. You never know what judge you’re going to get. There’s always a risk. So I was a bit nervous.

My main concern was: could the justice system move fast enough? Trials often take years. We were asking the Federal Court to have an emergency hearing the next day at 9:30 a.m., and to give us their ruling that same afternoon! That’s faster than 99.9% of all court cases!

And I think that’s what Carney’s lawyers thought would save them. They knew they were violating our rights, but if we couldn’t get our day in court until after the G7 was done, then they’d win by default.

It all came down to the Federal Court. Could they find us a judge and a courtroom quickly enough?

YES THEY DID!

But we didn’t hear that until late in the day.

And — surprise, surprise — it was only after the court said they could jam us in, that Carney’s lawyers called us up and said they weren’t going to fight back. They were going to back down, and let us in.

I think their lawyers knew that if they fought us in court, they’d be absolutely shredded by the judge, given that the Federal Court has already ruled twice in our favour. They simply were hoping to be saved by a too-busy court schedule.

But they weren’t. So they caved in.

In a way, I would have loved to have fought them in court and beaten them that way — to have yet another scorching, scathing court ruling tearing a strip off these Liberals. But a win is a win.

Although we didn’t have to go to court, we still had to go to the expense of hiring a lawyer to draft the lawsuit and prepare for battle. I haven’t received her bill yet, but it will surely be thousands of dollars.

But it’s worth it:

  • we stared down Mark Carney, and he blinked

  • we learned that Carney’s lawyers are afraid of facing a judge over a censorship scheme

  • and hopefully we’ve deterred Carney from trying to censor us — or any other independent journalists — in the future.

That’s why these battles are so important: the precedent they set. Sure, we’re doing this for our own reporters. But we’re also doing it for every reporter in Canada, even if they don’t know it or appreciate it.

If you think this short but successful battle was worth it, please help me cover the legal bill when I get it. I’m grateful to our lawyer who dropped everything to work on this full-tilt. She was obviously convincing enough to have scared Carney and his army of lawyers!

You can read the lawsuit at www.LetUsReport.com — and if you can, please chip in a few dollars to help me pay for it. I think there’s no way they would have let us in if we weren’t obviously ready to go the whole distance.

Yours truly,

Ezra Levant
Rebel News

P.S. I’m going to leave our lawsuit up at www.LetUsReport.com so that any other independent journalist who has the same trouble can use our lawsuit as a template, so they don’t have to spend money on a lawyer to start from scratch. We’ve done that with most of our lawsuits, including our lawsuits against Liberal cabinet ministers who block journalists on Twitter.

If you think that’s valuable, please click here to chip in to help me pay for this!

P.P.S. Now that we’re accredited, we’re going to send THREE journalists — our chief reporter Sheila Gunn Reid, as well as Sydney Fizzard and Angelica Toy. You can follow all of their coverage at a special website we’re going to set up, www.G7reports.com!

Subject: BREAKING: Mark Carney BANS Rebel News from the G7 — so we’re suing
To: David Amos <David.Raymond.Amos333@gmail.com>

Dear David,

Mark Carney has banned Rebel News journalists from reporting on the G7 summit this weekend in Alberta. So we've just filed an emergency lawsuit against him with the Federal Court — the same court that slapped down Trudeau's repeated attempts to censor us. You can see the lawsuit for yourself by clicking here, or going to our special website at www.LetUsReport.com.

There are four short documents:

  1. A letter to Carney's attorney general, Sean Fraser;
     
  2. A letter to the Federal Court, explaining our need for an emergency hearing;
     
  3. The emergency lawsuit, called a Notice of Application; and
     
  4. The facts of the case, as outlined in an affidavit by Sheila Gunn Reid, our chief reporter.

Click here to see a quick video on the subject:

BREAKING: Mark Carney BANS Rebel News from the G7 — so we’re
suing

I really encourage you to look at those documents at www.LetUsReport.com. They're really short. The letter to the Attorney General is just one sentence long — basically, "here's the lawsuit".

The letter to the court is a page and a half. The key sentences from it are these:

"We are writing to make an informal request for a special hearing… to have the application for an injunction heard (remotely if possible, and in the alternative in Calgary) and decided before end of business on Friday, June 13, 2025."

And:

"There is significant urgency to having the injunction heard prior to the commencement of the Summit. The Applicants will be significantly prejudiced and will suffer irreparable harm if the motion hearing is delayed. We note that the Applicant, Rebel News, has been granted urgent sitting dates in similar injunction applications, resulting in the granting of mandatory injunctions against the Leaders' Debate Commission."

As in, we need to have an emergency hearing ASAP, or we'll miss the G7. (This delay is 100% part of Carney's scheme, since we applied months ago.)

The meat of the lawsuit is the Notice of Application, which is quite short, too. The key sentences are these:

  1. The Accreditation Refusal is unreasonable and unlawful, is contrary to natural justice, and lacks procedural fairness. The Applicants will suffer irreparable harm as a result of the Accreditation Refusal.
     
  2. Additionally, failing or refusing to grant media accreditation to Ms. Gunn and Mr. Fizzard, by way of the Accreditation Refusal, is contrary to the principles of section 2(b) of the Charter which guarantees freedom of the press.

That's the thing about Carney and his reheated leftovers from Justin Trudeau's government. They just don't care about civil liberties. I mean, these are the people who invoked a form of martial law because some truckers were honking their horns. They have no patience for opposition or criticism.

And finally, there's Sheila's affidavit, which outlines the facts, including how we complied with all accreditation requirements long ago — Carney was simply waiting until the last minute to block us. Sheila's affidavit is seven pages of text, plus copies of key documents. Here's the highlight, in my mind. ("Mr. Fizzard" refers to our videographer Syd, who also applied and was banned.) Here's some of Sheila's sworn statement:

  1. I do not know of any reason why Mr. Fizzard's request, or my own, would be delayed, except as an arbitrary exercise of authority. Refusing or failing to grant accreditation, with only one business day left until the Summit, is unfair to me, Mr. Fizzard, and Rebel News, as it gives us very little time for recourse.
     
  2. There is no reason to deny Mr. Fizzard's accreditation or my own. We meet the requirements set out in the information published by Global Affairs. There is no basis to refuse or fail to provide accreditation.
     
  3. Mr. Fizzard and I, on behalf of Rebel News, seek to promote, cover, and document the Summit and seek to be accredited as media representatives and journalists for that purpose. Mr. Fizzard and I satisfy the accreditation requirements published by Global Affairs and completed the registration forms prior to June 1, 2025.
     
  4. If Global Affairs fails or refuses to grant Mr. Fizzard and I media accreditation, we will be unable to report on important international issues and events that occur at the Summit. I believe that Rebel News, and its audience, will suffer irreparable harm if Mr. Fizzard's and my accreditation are not granted to attend the Summit."

This really is like déjà vu all over again: this is the third time the Liberal government has tried to ban us from attending important events. In 2019, Trudeau's hand-picked debates commission banned us from covering the leaders' debates, but the Federal Court struck that down as illegal and unconstitutional, saying Trudeau had violated our Charter rights.

In 2021, Trudeau's debate commission tried a second time — and incurred the wrath of the Federal Court again.

Well here we are for a third time. But this time it's Mark Carney's decision. And incredibly, he hates freedom of the press and freedom of speech even more than Trudeau did.

I don't know if you remember, but the last time I spoke with Carney directly was on the streets of Davos at the World Economic Forum. This was right after Chrystia Freeland's RCMP bodyguards arrested David Menzies for asking her a question. Carney said he disagreed with that arrest, and said part of being in public life is answering tough questions.

Well, it looks like that was a lie — because he's banning our reporters from attending.

So we're going to court again. I hope we'll win. But Carney and the Liberals don't take chances. Last time, the Liberals sent literally SEVEN government lawyers to fight us. I expect they'll need a bigger courtroom this time.

If you can help us crowdfund this emergency lawsuit please do — click here, or go to www.LetUsReport.com.

This whole thing is so un-Canadian. Banning journalists is what dictatorships do, not democracies, at a meeting of the great democracies.

Please click here to see our lawsuit documents and to help us crowdfund our legal fees.

I hope we get our day in court tomorrow. Because really, the freedom of all independent media itself is on trial.

Thanks for your help.

Yours truly,

Ezra Levant
Rebel News 

P.S. We applied to get accreditation for several journalists and every single one of them was banned. I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe Carney is a bit worried about the questions we'd ask him!

P.P.S. We won last time, but I expect the Liberals to fight even more viciously now, especially since Carney has a minority government, so he doesn't want any Rebel News-style questions.

P.P.P.S. If you can help us please do — click here, or visit LetUsReport.com. You can read the lawsuit right there.

P.P.P.P.S. Sure this is to help Rebel News reporters. But this is about something bigger, too — like freedom of the press for all Canadians. I predict that not a single bail-out media journalist will even care that we're banned. Many will actually like it. Please help us, at www.LetUsReport.com.

Dear Registrar:
Re: Rebel News Network Ltd et al v Attorney General of Canada

In the matter of a judicial review application of a decision of Global Affairs Canada for
media accreditation for the G7 Leaders’ Summit

We are counsel for the Applicants, Rebel News Network (“Rebel News”), Sheila Gunn, and Sydney
Fizzard (collectively, the “Applicants”) in relation to an application for judicial review being filed
concurrently with this letter.

The Application seeks judicial review of the decision of Global Affairs Canada to refuse, fail, or
otherwise deny granting Ms. Reid and Mr. Fizzard, as journalists of Rebel News, media
accreditation for the G7 Leaders’ Summit (the “Summit”). The Summit is scheduled to occur in a
mere three days, starting on Sunday, June 15, 2025, and concluding on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
We are writing to make an informal request for a special hearing pursuant to Rules 35(2) and 32
of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 to have the application for an injunction heard (remotely
if possible, and in the alternative in Calgary) and decided before end of business on Friday, June
13, 2025. We further ask for an abridgment of time for service and notice requirements in
relation to the injunction application and to be relieved from filing a separate, formal motion
record, in accordance with the Amended Consolidated General Practice Guidelines. The facts
relied upon are set out in the Affidavit of Sheila Gunn, being filed concurrently with the
application.

There is significant urgency to having the injunction heard prior to the commencement of the
Summit. The Applicants will be significantly prejudiced and will suffer irreparable harm if the
motion hearing is delayed.

Federal Court of Canada
June 12, 2025
Page 2 of 2

We note that the Applicant, Rebel News, has been granted urgent sitting dates in similar
injunction applications, resulting in the granting of mandatory injunctions against the Leaders’
Debate Commission.1

A draft form of order is enclosed, in accordance with the Amended Consolidated General Practice
Guidelines.

We thank the Court for its urgent attention to this matter.

Senior public servant Nathalie Drouin named national security adviser to PM

Drouin takes over as government considers reforms to CSIS's governing legislation

Nathalie Drouin has been deputy clerk of the Privy Council since August 2021 and will retain that title as she becomes the prime minister's new national security adviser. (facebook.com/JusticeCanada)

Veteran public servant Nathalie Drouin has been named national security and intelligence adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Drouin, deputy clerk of the Privy Council since August 2021, will retain that title when she takes up her new role on Jan. 27.

She becomes adviser as the Liberal government ponders significant reform of the legislation governing Canada's spy service to better address security threats.

Drouin was deputy minister of justice from 2017 to 2021.

As deputy Privy Council clerk, Drouin testified in November 2022 at the inquiry into the invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to protests that paralyzed downtown Ottawa and choked key border points.

Drouin replaces the retiring Jody Thomas, who became security adviser two years ago after serving as deputy minister of national defence.
