  <description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Settle in and enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Guess what? Canada is in a trade war with the U.S. But why haven’t you heard anything about this war in the mainstream media? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rebel Commander Ezra Levant shall explain all … &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Attention pickup truck owners: If you drive such a rig, then you’re obviously a caveman. Says who? Says Calgary’s Mayor Naheed Nenshi, that’s who. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sheila Gunn Reid stops in with all the unbelievable details.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is nothing sacred? Victoria’s Secret is all about catering to women – as in real women – who love wearing fancy lingerie. But now the transgender community wants to strut their stuff as Victoria’s Secret models. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Martina Markota will weigh in on this 2019 version of The Crying Game...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And finally letters. I’ll share some of the letters we received regarding my report on how Toronto’s domestic homeless are left out in the cold while Justin Trudeau’s refugees enjoy central heating and three squares a day at several Toronto-area hotels. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Calgary's ultra-progressive Mayor Naheed Nenshi has had a rough couple of months. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nenshi’s desperate attempt to cement his legacy in the form of a multi-billion dollar Olympics in the middle of an economic downturn fizzled out after taxpayers rejected the idea at the ballot box.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then, through freedom of information requests, our friends at taxpayer advocacy group Save Calgary, uncovered collusion between a mole in the Calgary Sun newsroom and the Calgary City administration. An article by Rick Bell that was critical of council, was leaked to the city by someone in the newsroom before it was ever published.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, new reports are out showing a startling increase in crime in neighbourhoods where Nenshi’s city council has plunked a supervised drug injection site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And of course, Nenshi stuck both legs up to his knees right into his mouth when he said that Calgarians aren’t all just a bunch of “F-350 driving cavemen” in one of the most bizarre and pretentious attempts to defend the ethical nature of Alberta’s oil patch I have ever heard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There isn’t much accountability down at Calgary city hall. The conservatives on council are outnumbered and out-gunned.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And that’s where Save Calgary comes in. They fight for transparency and honesty in municipal government.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Joining me tonight from Save Calgary is a good friend of the show, William McBeath, to talk about Nenshi’s terrible end to 2018, followed by an even worse start in 2019. &lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>Calgary's ultra-progressive Mayor Naheed Nenshi has had a rough couple of months. </p>

<p>Nenshi’s desperate attempt to cement his legacy in the form of a multi-billion dollar Olympics in the middle of an economic downturn fizzled out after taxpayers rejected the idea at the ballot box.</p>

<p>Then, through freedom of information requests, our friends at taxpayer advocacy group Save Calgary, uncovered collusion between a mole in the Calgary Sun newsroom and the Calgary City administration. An article by Rick Bell that was critical of council, was leaked to the city by someone in the newsroom before it was ever published.</p>

<p>Now, new reports are out showing a startling increase in crime in neighbourhoods where Nenshi’s city council has plunked a supervised drug injection site.</p>

<p>And of course, Nenshi stuck both legs up to his knees right into his mouth when he said that Calgarians aren’t all just a bunch of “F-350 driving cavemen” in one of the most bizarre and pretentious attempts to defend the ethical nature of Alberta’s oil patch I have ever heard.</p>

<p>There isn’t much accountability down at Calgary city hall. The conservatives on council are outnumbered and out-gunned.</p>

<p>And that’s where Save Calgary comes in. They fight for transparency and honesty in municipal government.</p>

<p>Joining me tonight from Save Calgary is a good friend of the show, William McBeath, to talk about Nenshi’s terrible end to 2018, followed by an even worse start in 2019.</p>]]>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Calgary held yet another massive lunch time pro-pipeline rally this past Monday. Over 2,000 people showed up at Calgary's Municipal Plaza to show their support for Canada's battered, beleaguered oil and gas industry. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The speakers at the rally included Calgary municipal politicians which shouldn’t have been unusual or controversial, except those speakers ended up making themselves both!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mayor Nenshi tried to speak French to the rally-goers, which earned him loud boos. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then he lectured the attendees on the merits of fighting climate change. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Councillor Peter Dejong was also booed after telling the crowd to support Quebec cheese and to avoid trade embargoes and boycotts. In response to the criticism from the crowd, he whined, “and you call yourselves Canadian? Wow.” &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How could these two be so tone deaf and out of touch with the concerns of the people in their own city that they turned a pro-pipeline rally against themselves? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tonight William McBeath from Save Calgary joins me to discuss how the rally went sideways for Calgary's purple prince, Mayor Nenshi, and we also examine city hall’s latest attempts to get a handle on renegade rookie councillor Jeromy Farkas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s been a horrible week for Nenshi and it’s only Wednesday!  &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;On November 13th, 2018, Calgary's residents wisely voted against a two-week-long legacy party for Mayor Naheed Nenshi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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?&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Calgary Olympic bid has been a dishonest mess from the very beginning. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s become a Frankenstein monster, roughly sewn together in order to realize Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s dreams of a global scale legacy party for himself, paid for by the taxpayers of Canada.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;News of leaked conversations, secret meetings, behind the scenes deals, and duelling taxpayer federation associations cross-endorsing each other's cities, have solidified opposition to the bid and turned patriotic fans of the olympics into cynics. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Over the course of 24 hours, the bid has been dead, resurrected, and then maybe dead again. It’s changing by the minute and costing money every step of the way. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join me tonight as I speak with William McBeath from Save Calgary, in an interview that we recorded Tuesday morning, way back when the Olympic bid was still dead in its grave. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Watch as William explains how Calgary taxpayers got so far into this mess in the first place, and what we can do next to stop the bleeding at Calgary city hall.  &lt;/p&gt;
