Toronto police have just hit our billboard truck with two fines totalling $1,230 for playing a video defending women’s sports.

Our driver Mark was parked right outside the WNBA game in downtown Toronto. The truck’s massive screens were running a public service announcement featuring Serena Williams and Martina Navratilova explaining a simple biological fact: no matter how talented a female athlete is, men are stronger.

Police swarmed the truck, ordered Mark to turn the video off, and claimed it was illegal for him to play that ad. They issued a $615 ticket on the spot. Not for any traffic offence, but purely for the content. When Mark put one of the officers on the phone with me, the cop repeated the same absurd claim: that it’s illegal to show a video on a truck.

That’s not the law. That’s censorship. And it’s a clear vendetta against Rebel News driven by an extremist pro-transgender ideology that prioritises men over women and girls in sport.

Minutes later police issued a second $615 fine, bringing the total to $1,230, and threatened more tickets if the video stayed on. This follows an earlier incident just weeks ago when police stopped the same truck and investigated it for “hate speech” over a similar message.

We are covering every cent of these fines. Mark will not pay a dollar. We will fight both tickets in court to defend our freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

I'm heading down there right now to stand with Mark. If necessary,I will take over the truck myself so our driver does not have to face further harassment.

This has to stop.

Toronto police have just hit our Rebel News billboard truck with two $615 tickets — $1,230 in fines — after confronting our driver over a video defending women’s sports outside a WNBA game.

Police ordered him to turn off the display and threatened further enforcement if he refused. We believe this is censorship, and we’re going to fight these tickets in court.

Keeping the truck on the road is already expensive — fuel, maintenance, our driver, security and reinforced safety upgrades — and now we’re facing legal costs to defend our freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

If you want to help us fight these tickets, keep the truck on the road and stand up against censorship, please chip in.

Every dollar helps. Thank you!
