Tonight, Ezra breaks down Liberal member of Parliament Chrystia Freeland's decision to take on the role of economic advisor to Ukrainian President Zelensky despite the multitude of potential conflicts of interest.
Despite Freeland announcing that she will be resigning from Parliament in "the coming weeks", the former finance minister has faced fierce backlash from Conservatives who question her decision to join a foreign government as an advisor while still representing Canadian constituents.
Ezra points out that Freeland appears to have always had multiple allegiances during her career, referencing her previous role on the board of the World Economic Forum and her work preparing an autobiography on George Soros.
Speaking further about Freeland's controversial move, Ezra notes that Ukraine has consistently ranked among the highest countries in Europe for corruption. Several individuals close to Zelensky — including his former chief of staff Andriy Yermak — have been embroiled in corruption scandals as recently as the last few months.
Despite the seemingly poor optics, Freeland chose to move forward with her decision to advise Zelensky. The former finance minister's track record includes presiding over massive increases to Canada's debt and soaring inflation.
Ezra notes that Rebel News will be deploying its billboard truck to call on Mark Carney to immediately fire Freeland, and viewers can sign the petition or chip in to support our journalism at www.FireFreeland.com.
GUEST: Rebel reporter Alexa Lavoie details her trip to Miami, Florida, where she heard what Venezuelan exiles thought about the US intervention and capture of Nicolas Maduro.

James Henry commented 2026-01-07 13:33:48 -0500A couple of thoughts re: Freeland
1. Zelensky hired her because he is desperate to be photographed with someone shorter than him.
2. Can you imagine Trump’s reaction if she approaches the U.S. for more money for Ukraine? -

Silver Feet commented 2026-01-06 22:48:09 -0500So sometimes when you get a new job, you get a signing bonus but what do you call it when you pay your new employer a “hire me” payment, Chrystia dear, enough is enough, please divorce yourself from the Canadian tax payer credit card.
It is inherent in men to be attracted to beautiful women, it is not a crime, do not apologies for it, but judging someone solely on their physical attributes is immoral, there is a clear difference. -

Bruce Atchison commented 2026-01-06 20:47:36 -0500Trump is playing things smartly. He destroyed Maduro by arresting him. He also is controling the government by remote instead of stationing troops there. When Cuba topples, he also will help to establish capitalism there and return American assets to their rightful owners. His FAFO policy is enabling peace through strength..
