Ezra Levant
Co-Host of Rebel News Podcast
Ezra Levant, the host of The Ezra Levant Show and founder of Rebel News, is a Canadian human rights activist, established political writer, and father.
He is also, self admittedly “not to everyone’s tastes,” due to his forward, to-the-point approach when it comes to talking about difficult issues including politics, free speech, foreign policy and much more.
Ezra Levant earned his degree in both commerce and law through the University of Calgary and has successfully written and published multiple bestselling books, such as Ethical Oil: The Case for Canada's Oil Sands; China Virus: How Justin Trudeau’s Pro-Communist Ideology is Putting Canadians in Danger; Trumping Trudeau: How Donald Trump will change Canada Even If Justin Trudeau Doesn’t know it yet; and The Libranos: What The Media Won't Tell You About Justin Trudeau's Corruption.
Ezra regularly calls out Canadian mainstream "media party" and calls for honest reporting and doesn’t shy away from having “controversial takes” in the name of free speech. He believes reporting should be separate from the government body and supports the presence of private, grassroots organizations like Rebel News.
Ezra regularly reports on important issues happening in Canada and the United States, tackling subjects that mainstream media won’t touch. He has no problem standing up to not only other news institutions but the government itself. He is outspoken about Trudeau’s government and regularly criticizes his policies and his efforts to censor news media. Ezra makes daily appearances on Rebel News and on their YouTube channel, which has amassed a following of 1.56 million subscribers.
Despite the best efforts of many to shut down the views of Rebel News, Ezra continues to hold steadfast against anti-free speech rhetoric and provides truthful, honest commentary on what’s going on in the world without fear. He isn’t afraid to go up to bat for what he believes in.
In 2014, he was chosen as the “most irritating Canadian” by the Globe and Mail’s TV Critic, while viewers voted him the “biggest name in Canadian broadcasting.”
Ezra Levant has hosted 1977 Episodes.

GUEST HOST: DAVID MENZIES
The other day, I was thinking about one of my all-time favourite films. It’s a bit sci-fi, and a whole lot of horror. I speak of the 1978 reboot of the 1956 film, Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.
As the title implies, the film’s plot revolves around the replacement of people. When the alien lifeforms take over a person, they look exactly like their former human selves.
I was reminiscing about this fantastic albeit frightening flick because lately I’ve been pondering: who is responsible for the body-snatching of Premier Doug Ford?

GUEST HOST: DAVID MENZIES
Did you catch the Conservative leadership debate last night? If you didn’t, here’s the post-game summary: judging by applause, the clearcut winner was surely Pierre Poilievre; judging by boos, jeers, and even downright derisive laughter, the definite loser was Jean Charest. No surprise there, really.
But there was also a candidate who lost the debate due to default given that he was a no-show: that would be sneaky Patrick Brown, Brampton’s full-time mayor and part-time Zamboni inspector.

EZRA LEVANT | World Press Freedom Day came and went, and Canada was an embarrassment

Yesterday was World Press Freedom Day.
I noticed that most of the people talking about it were government. In fact, the media people don't really seem to care about freedom anymore — certainly not their own independence. I think they gave that up when they took Trudeau's bailout money.
In fact, if anything, most of the mainstream media are positively hostile to the idea of press freedom.
GUEST: Sheila Gunn Reid
