Tonight, Ezra Levant sits down with Maxime Bernier to discuss the climate, immigration, and the future of conservatism in Canada. Rebel News has always stood for certain values. We report the other side of the story - that's our mission. But in doing so, our stance on issues like freedom, privacy, national sovereignty as opposed to globalism, and more is abundantly clear.

EZRA LEVANT | Viva Frei on the downfall of civil liberties: 'It's a world gone upside down.'

Tonight, a heart-to-heart with one of the country's leading civil liberties advocates, a lawyer by trade, who is in exile because of the pandemic.

There are not a lot of lawyers left who care about liberty. For most, it's just a job. They have to pay the bills. Frankly, many lawyers don't want to take cases that are too spicy because it might disqualify them from a government contract. Certainly, they would lose the opportunity to be appointed to the bench and serve as a judge.

Because of this, in the early days of the pandemic, many Canadian lawyers were averse to representing an unvaccinated person or someone who was defying the lockdowns, which makes it an even greater pleasure to discover or rediscover the lawyers who do care deeply about civil liberties and are as troubled by the world as the rest of us.

One such lawyer, turned video blogger, has his roots in Montreal — perhaps the most locked-down city in all of Canada. From 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. was its typical curfew, whether you were vaxxed or not, whether you were sick or not.

The civil liberties inferno was outrageous and too few lawyers cared. But this lawyer, David Freiheit, known online as Viva Frei, was pained deeply by it all. He joins Ezra tonight from Florida, his current residence after his refusal to abide by lockdown orders forced him to abandon his position at the bar in Quebec and depart from Canada altogether.

His licence to practice law is one of the many things he's had to sacrifice but his passion for liberty has not diminished: "I've gone from being a lawyer to just being an internet legal critic, loudmouth guy who screams to the clouds at what I think are the most outrageous injustices I've seen, at least in my lifetime."

GUEST: Viva Frei, Canadian lawyer and political content creator.

Thank you very much for spending 2023 with us. It was an incredible year, a terrible year, a wonderful year — a good year for Rebel News and so many bad projects. It's been a dangerous year for the world but, hopefully, some of these letters will be fun, so let's get right to it.

EZRA LEVANT | Ezra Levant attends Vivek Ramaswamy's Iowa trucker townhall

Tonight, Ezra reports from a truck stop in Iowa!

Why? Well, it all started a few days ago with a direct message on Twitter from one of the candidates in the United States Republican primary race.

Vivek Ramaswamy is not a name that most Americans knew a year ago but in the last few months, he's caught fire, in large part due to his high-energy debate performances and strong Trump-like policy portfolio. He's had some incredible moments, not just sparring with other Republican candidates like Nikki Haley, but also taking it to journalists in a way that we haven't seen, well, since Trump. He doesn't shy away from the press.

So Ezra has travelled all the way down to Iowa to see for himself at Vivek Ramaswamy's trucker townhall, and he's ready to show you a little bit about his day on the trail of a U.S. presidential campaign.

GUEST: Vivek Ramaswamy, U.S. Republican presidential candidate.
