INSANITY: Union members and Antifa attack Rebel News — even a dad with a stroller!

A Rebel News cameraman was rushed to the hospital after being attacked by an Antifa member while covering a union protest in Montreal. Even a father pushing a stroller tried to confront the Rebel News team, who were speaking with union members at the scene.

On Saturday, November 29, unions took to the streets to protest Bill 3, proposed by Premier François Legault's CAQ government.

The bill not only calls for greater transparency regarding union expenditures but also proposes dividing union dues into two categories: mandatory and optional. The “optional” category covers activities not directly related to workplace conditions, such as advertising campaigns, participation in social or political movements, and legal actions.

Quebec unions hold significant power. Over 40% of workers in the province are unionized, and unions manage millions of dollars from dues.

In recent years, scandals have piled up: $55 Scotch glasses, a trip to Dubai for COP28, a Dodge RAM 1500 costing over $80,000, and campaigns targeting political figures such as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre — all funded by workers’ dues.

According to a survey, 81% of Quebecers are demanding greater transparency from unions, reflecting widespread distrust.

Following multiple controversial speeches by FTQ union president Magali Picard, in which she declared a “war” and threatened to “paralyze Quebec” with a “social strike,” Rebel News sought to gather opinions from members who had travelled from different cities by organized buses.

Interviews were underway until radical groups — including the Pétanqueurs de Montréal Antifascist, the Antifascist Popular Front, the Revolutionary Communist Party, and others — arrived aggressively, shutting down conversations and physically assaulting the team.

Despite the presence of three security guards, the police did not intervene.

At one point, a masked man associated with the Antifascist Popular Front followed the crew, grabbed cameraman Guillaume Roy by his backpack, and dragged him to the ground. Roy required four stitches and an X-ray at the hospital.

Police, working closely with our team, arrested the man, who was later released under conditions pending further developments.

    Woodwork squeeks and out come the freaks. These leftists are so deluded that they can’t think properly. We who love freedom must work to reinstate free speech. We who love justice need to advocate for equality under the law. This two-tier policing must be stopped. It’s unrighteous and unfair.

    They can’t pay me enough to visit Quebec nowadays. Between the communist-controlled labour unions and Antifa and their associates having the run of Montreal’s streets, the Left has turned Quebec into a political snake pit.
