Prime Minister Justin Trudeau initially campaigned in 2015 on a promise of an open and transparent government. Now, eight years into his tenure as leader, his Liberals are pushing for more and more censorship of Canadians.

On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra joined the show as a guest for a conversation about the Liberals' censorship agenda with fill-in host Sheila Gunn Reid.

When it comes to how the government will use its newfound power to silence critics like Rebel News, Ezra said:

[There's] four things they've done to attack Rebel News using the law. Because they don't seem to be able to persuade people not to follow Rebel News or persuade people that we're wrong, so they're using the law. And you [Sheila] make a good point, and that is if this were happening 20 or 30 years ago, there would be a complete unanimity between publishers and broadcasters that this is a terrible idea.

And I remember studying how the press would fight for free speech when I was law school, and typically they would set up something they would call a consortium.

They would ask every newspaper or every broadcaster to chip in $1,000 and they would hire one top-gun civil liberties lawyer, who would go to court and say 'your honour, I'm here basically representing the entire industry. I'm representing 10 newspapers, five radio stations and here is what we're really worried about for free speech.

And the courts would really listen to those lawyers, actually, because they knew that these were the people for free speech. When was the last time the Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, National Post, Toronto Sun, CBC, CTV, Global News, etc. went to court for free speech?

I can't remember it. Forget going to court, that takes money and initiative. When was the last time they even spoke out against (censorship)?

How to use Rebel News with a VPN

1. Download and install the Private Internet Access app on your device.
2. Connect to a server outside of Canada to view Rebel News' content.
3. Go to the platform you want to use and Rebel News will no longer be blocked.

Meta, Facebook's parent company, is taking extreme measures by opting out of the Trudeau regime's Bill C-18 stipulations, which demand that social media platforms pay Trudeau's chosen media outlets for users to share certain news stories on their platforms.

But we believe we've found the perfect solution for you to work around that.

If you head to PIAVPN.COM/RebelNewsWeb right now, you'll see that we've partnered with Private Internet Access, a VPN provider dedicated to safeguarding your digital privacy.

What exactly is a VPN?

It's a Virtual Private Network that functions like an invisibility cloak for your online activities, protecting them from hackers, nosy internet providers, and even the websites you visit.

Most importantly, PIA VPN allows users to bypass regional restrictions and stand up against Trudeau's new censorship law. This means it can also help you securely stay informed online, even when Bill C-18 is keeping other Canadians in the dark.

Through our partnership, you can enjoy an exclusive 83% discount and four months free — just visit PIAVPN.COM/RebelNewsWeb.

For as little as $2 per month, you can get your safe VPN and maintain access to our content across all of your devices. Unlike other VPN providers, PIA doesn't store any of your user data on their servers to prevent leaks and keep government subpoenas for information at bay.

This government shakedown and desperate attempt to keep the mainstream media afloat could have a range of repercussions for the over 70% of Canadians who receive their news online.
