Article by Rebel Staff

Tonight on The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra is in Davos, Switzerland for the annual gathering of the global elite at the World Economic Forum — where Canada’s most powerful figures feel safest from scrutiny.

Ezra reacts to Mark Carney's speech and then goes behind the scenes on his encounter with Justin Trudeau. 

While roaming the streets of Davos, Ezra and the Rebel News team unexpectedly ran into Justin Trudeau, casually strolling the promenade alongside pop star Katy Perry. In Switzerland, there were no police cordons, no intimidation, and no arrests for asking questions — a stark contrast to how Rebel News journalists are treated for doing the same thing back home in Canada.

Ezra breaks down the uncomfortable truth: Canadian police are routinely used to shield politicians from accountability, while in Davos, even with armed police and military everywhere, journalists are free to ask questions without interference.

But the real bombshell of the night comes from Mark Carney.

Fresh off a globe-trotting tour that included Communist China, Carney takes the Davos stage to declare that the post-World War II, rules-based international order is over. His solution? A realignment away from the United States — and toward China.

Ezra dismantles Carney’s speech piece by piece, exposing how polished, MBA-speak can mask deeply radical ideas. Carney argues that “middle powers” like Canada should band together — not against authoritarian regimes — but against America. In practice, that means weakening our largest trading relationship, abandoning military reality, and embracing Chinese economic dominance, all while claiming it will somehow help Canadian workers.

Ezra explains why this vision isn’t just naive — it’s dangerous.

Canada sends roughly 80% of its exports to the United States. Our airspace is defended by American fighter jets. Our economy, security, and geography are inseparable from our southern neighbour. Pretending otherwise may earn applause in Davos, but it collapses under real-world scrutiny.

And yet, the Davos crowd loved it.

Why? Because Carney is exactly what this conference rewards: a globe-trotting technocrat with multiple passports, reflexive hostility toward Donald Trump, and an instinctive sympathy for global governance over national sovereignty.

This episode also features Ezra’s raw, on-the-street interaction with Trudeau — evasions, gaslighting, and silence included — plus a preview of an even bigger confrontation still to come from Davos.

Rebel News is on the ground, asking the questions regime media won’t — and that the world’s most powerful people hope you never hear.

Watch tonight’s episode, see the footage for yourself, and decide who’s really speaking for Canada’s future.

Help get Rebel News to Davos for the 2026 World Economic Forum

Rebel News doesn’t have corporate sponsors or billionaire backers. Our journalism stays independent for one reason: viewers like you support it.

    As always, JT showed vainglorious side. If Katie Perry has any discernment, she’ll see him for who he really is… a condescending narcissist. We rejoiced when he left The House, but sadly, the more polished 2.0 version is more dangerous.

    Katy Perry kissed a girl and appearently she likes it.

    I just watched a video report from a different independent news group. They tried to interview him as well and he was as pompous and arrogant with them as he was with Rebel. His bodyguard became quite snarky with them

    Evidently, he believes he’s like a HAL 9000 computer—foolproof and incapable of error.

    I love how Trump is living rent-free in the head of every western leader. His brand of disruption is exactly what’s needed.

    Well, at least Trudeau responded more during that scrum than he did his entire career as Prime Minister.

    I needed to take a bath after listening to that arrogant spawn of socialist Schwab after a merciful break from his grating voice. How you could stay so calm as he belched out his personal insults and BS is beyond me, Ezra!. He definitely manifests and channels his Arodite fathers (PET) communist spirit and ideologies.

    I love it when Ezra and Avi sock it to oligarchs. That Shmidt fellow sure lost his cool when confronted with the truth. And as with all these evildoers, they hate the light of truth. Christ nailed it when he said they hate the light because their deeds are evil. And thanks to mortality, these people who act like gods will die like men.
