Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, we're suing the government for attempting to shut down “Rumble Live” and “Rebel News Live” last year.

Rumble Canada and Rebel News are suing the Canadian government, MP Ya'ara Saks, and other officials for conspiring to violate their right to free expression.

The lawsuit, filed today in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, alleges that the defendants unsuccessfully tried to block two lawful and peaceful public gatherings celebrating free speech in the Toronto area last year over their politics.

STOP DEPLATFORMING!

Last year, the Trudeau Liberals tried to shut down our free speech conference in Toronto — simply because they didn’t like our politics. Government officials, including Liberal MP Ya’ara Saks, pressured the venue to cancel our event, demanding tens of thousands in last-minute “security” fees based on false claims. It was extortion, plain and simple. Now, Rebel News and Rumble are fighting back with a $287,000 lawsuit to hold them accountable for violating our civil rights. Rumble is covering half — we need your help to crowdfund the rest.

EXCLUSIVE: Toronto police attempted to shut down Rebel News event

Shocking! Documents show that the Toronto Police (and others) did everything in their power to derail our Rebel News Live event! They failed.

The suit alleges officials imposed excessive security charges to thwart the events. Plaintiffs seek reimbursement of $37,177.80, $250,000 in punitive damages, legal expenses, and a trial in Toronto.

The complaint alleges that despite being told by local police there were no threats, the defendants imposed excessive security charges to derail the gatherings, and officials worked on ways to shut down the celebrations based on the political beliefs of expected attendees.

“If it happens on or near our property, we might attract an undesirable crowd,” wrote one official in an email to colleagues.

“I am wondering if you think there is any language within the lease agreement that would permit us to stop this event from happening,” wrote another. “Based on my review, I don’t think there is, but I would appreciate your opinion.”

Both “Rumble Live” and “Rebel News Live” were wildly successful and transpired without incident.
