WATCH: Sheila Gunn Reid ran into Sean Strickland at the Alberta Independence Rally He called out Edmonton’s struggles with open drug use and said Alberta gives far more than it gets back: “Needles on the floor… businesses surrounded by addicts… nobody wants this.” On independence, he added it’s “just not right” that the province has no real representation.

Reconciliation propaganda in high school exposed by BC teen A 16-year-old B.C. high school student says he is being denied the opportunity to return to class unless he removes his YouTube video called “Lies and Reconciliation,” which exposed some of the propaganda that was pushed on students during his school's Truth and Reconciliation Day programming. Isaac Simpson, a Grade 11 student enrolled in a Lower Mainland school's film and television program, decided to put his filmmaking skills to use after growing frustrated with what he was being taught about Canada's history, often unbeknownst to parents. From a masked Black Lives Matter advocate telling students about truth, to another virtual speaker telling the youth to embrace discussions of “land back,” to a disturbing exaggerated illustration depicting Catholic nuns and an RCMP officer forcibly tearing Indigenous children from their mothers, Simpson's video gives parents a rare look inside the classroom. “I got really sick of all the indoctrination being pushed down students' throats,” Simpson told me. “They were just telling you what to think, not how to think.” But his decision to expose the material came at a cost. After initially being suspended for what the school described as a period of “pause and reflection,” Simpson and his parents attended a meeting with school officials that the teen likened to an interrogation. Simpson documented that experience in a second video posted to his YouTube channel, Isaac Simpson's Flying Circus. Both videos have since been gaining attention online. Now, Simpson says he has been told he cannot return to school unless the videos come down. He refuses to comply. “I'm not taking it down because, you know, I stand by what I said,” Simpson explained. I caught up with the young filmmaker to find out why it was important for him to expose what's happening in his public school despite the risk. For Simpson, the issue is bigger than his suspension. Currently, "parents have no way of figuring out what is being taught in schools,” he said. I also spoke with his mother, former Global News director and current B.C. political commentator Anita Krishna, about the school's response and what comes next. REPORT by Drea Humphrey:

7 of the 10 lowest living standards in North America belong to Canadian provinces, Fraser Institute finds Canadian provinces hold seven of the 10 lowest living standards among the 60 provinces and U.S. states, according to a new study from the Fraser Institute. Alberta, at 25th, is the only province in the top half. The study, Squandering the Canadian Century Part 2, was released October 8. It ranks all 10 provinces and 50 states on GDP per person in 2024. Its authors are Jake Fuss, Grady Munro and Joel Emes. The provinces in the bottom 10 were: - New Brunswick — 60th - Prince Edward Island — 59th - Nova Scotia — 58th - Manitoba — 56th - Quebec — 55th - Newfoundland and Labrador — 52nd - Ontario — 51st British Columbia ranked 49th and Saskatchewan 35th. The study found that every Great Lakes state had higher GDP per person than Ontario and Quebec. Alberta has fallen further than the rankings alone suggest. In 1999, it ranked 7th of 60. Its GDP per person did rise, from $68,165 to $74,907 in inflation-adjusted 2017 dollars, but its rank dropped to 25th as American states grew faster. North Dakota, another oil-producing jurisdiction, climbed from 47th to 6th over the same period. The gap is wider on paycheques. In 2024, median employment income was higher in all 50 states than in any of the 10 provinces. In 2010, Alberta ranked 12th on median employment income at $40,564. By 2024, it had fallen to 51st at $39,345. That is a decline of $1,219 after inflation. Alberta was the only jurisdiction in either country where median employment income went down. In Missouri, a middle-ranked state, median employment income was $7,173 higher than in Alberta. Florida, the lowest-ranked state, still ranked above every province. The study also found that from 2007 to 2024, labour productivity in 45 states grew faster than in any province. Alberta led the provinces at 15.6%, compared with a median of 28.4% among U.S. states. Prince Edward Island was the only jurisdiction where productivity declined. From 1999 to 2024, the private sector’s share of employment fell in every province, which means government employment grew faster. In Alberta, the share slipped from 83.3% to 82%. The study does not explain why Alberta in particular declined, and the authors say the reasons are beyond its scope. It does cite earlier Fraser research that links Canada’s relative stagnation since 2015 to federal government intervention, uncompetitive taxes and excessive regulation. The data ends in 2024, before Mark Carney became prime minister. The release comes 10 days before Albertans vote in the October 19 independence referendum. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

URGENT: Olivia Chow is ahead by less than three points. I'm putting the truck on Bathurst Canada's worst mayor, Olivia Chow, could actually lose. I never thought I'd write that sentence. The newest poll, out today, has her ahead of Brad Bradford by less than three points: 40.8% to 38.3%. The margin of error is 3.1 points. In plain English, it's a tie. So I've done something I've never done before. I personally registered with the City of Toronto as a third-party advertiser. Not Rebel News. Me, Ezra Levant, as a private citizen. And I'm renting Rebel's big billboard truck to run ads against Olivia Chow, up and down Bathurst Street every day until the polls close on October 26. Let me tell you why I'm doing this. Olivia Chow never earned the mayor's chair. She got it almost as a consolation prize after Jack Layton died, riding on his coattails. And what has she done with it? It's what she hasn't done that stands out. She hasn't stopped the crime wave. She hasn't stopped the tax hikes. She hasn't stopped parks and playgrounds from being turned into homeless camps and open-air drug scenes. All while she gallivants from parade to party to festival, in costume after costume, like a court jester while the city falls apart. Here's the moment that told me everything. At a community meeting about the home-invasion robberies sweeping Toronto, a Toronto police constable told residents, and I'm quoting him exactly: "To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door." Leave your car keys by the door so the robbers don't have to ransack your house to find them. That is the official advice in Olivia Chow's Toronto. The clip is in my video. Watch it and tell me I'm exaggerating. And then there's the Jewish community. Toronto used to be famous as a hospitable city where the Jewish community was at the heart of business and culture. Now it's known as the antisemitic capital of North America. Olivia Chow even skipped the mayoral debate on antisemitism last month. She stays away from the non-partisan Walk with Israel, where 50,000 Torontonians march. And she has nothing to say about the pro-Hamas street gangs who block Toronto's roads with their "prayer" protests, something that wouldn't be tolerated in Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates. Those gangs are on her side, and she's on theirs. You don't have to be Jewish to want her gone. You don't have to be a ferocious right-winger, either. You just have to look around. Now, here's the math. The Jewish community in Toronto has historically voted Liberal, or centre-left. It's not a natural Rebel News audience. But these are the voters most likely to switch, because they're the ones Olivia Chow has most openly abandoned. If I can remind a few thousand of them what's been done to their own city, and move them to anyone but Chow, that could close a three-point gap. I know this works, because we've done it before. In the 2025 federal election, we ran the same truck through York Centre, where the Liberal MP Ya'ara Saks had been photographed with Mahmoud Abbas, the boss of the Palestinian Authority. We started at Bathurst and Sheppard. She lost her seat. So here's the plan — but there's a catch. The law caps a third-party advertiser at $25,000. That's all I'm allowed to raise and spend, and every dollar of it goes to keeping that truck rolling for the final two weeks. The city's rules, not mine: you have to live in Ontario to chip in, and the most any one person can give is $1,200. If you're outside Ontario, I'm sorry, you can't give to this one, but you can forward this email to a friend in Toronto, and that's worth almost as much. One more thing. Olivia Chow's police have pulled the truck over a few times in the past three months. I expect they'll try again. I'll be ready for it, and I'll let you know the moment it happens. Normally I'd say there's no hope. Toronto is a left-of-centre city and the incumbent usually wins. But I've been in this business a long time and I've never seen her this vulnerable. A few thousand votes on Bathurst Street could be the difference. If you want to help me fire Olivia Chow, please go to and chip in what you can. Let's get her done. REPORT by Ezra Levant 🍁🚛:

Cowboys carry off rodeo protesters like toddlers Animal rights activists picked the wrong crowd at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton. Video shared on Facebook shows protesters, signs in hand, jumping over the barrier and into the arena to protest calf roping. Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle broke it down on Tuesday's Rebel Roundup, and both noted how dangerous the stunt was. "They jump the fence, which is so dangerous," Sheila said. "The animals could have been spooked, hurt, whatever." The cowboys, entirely unbothered, simply scooped the protesters up and carried them out. "They picked him up and carried him like a bride over the threshold," she continued. Lise compared it to removing a toddler in the middle of a tantrum. "When your toddler has a fit in a restaurant, you have to take them out by the coat," she said. "That's what happened to these guys." The protesters were identified as Gerber Gereen Anderson and Michelle Labrosse. Sheila pointed out who they were really hurting: "This is somebody's big day, by the way, that you losers are ruining," she said. "These young men have worked hard all season, spent time away from their families, abused their bodies. They fought their way all the way to the Canadian Finals Rodeo. This is their shot at some big money." The hosts also noted the protesters clearly didn't understand what they were protesting. Calf roping, Sheila explained, comes straight from working ranches, where cowboys catch calves to tag and vaccinate them. And rodeo animals, she said, are anything but neglected. "Rodeo stock get better health care than the rest of us," she said. "Those animals are more spoiled and cared for than any animal on the surface of the earth. That is just a fact." Next time, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle XX joked, they should skip security altogether and let the ropers handle it themselves. Rebel Roundup airs Monday through Friday at 11 a.m. MT / 1 p.m. ET.

Inside Canada's Wildest Homeless Encampment Homelessness and hard drug use are taking a toll on downtown Kitchener. For roughly the past five years, a large encampment has occupied the corner of Victoria and Weber streets. Rebel News was contacted by a local property manager who expressed concern over the situation, after she says a man attempted to light one of her properties on fire. Located across the street from the encampment is a soup kitchen called St. John's Kitchen. The establishment runs a variety of services for people in need — including, reportedly, harm reduction supplies for drug users. When we arrived on scene, we saw a number of people outside the soup kitchen, some appearing to be under the influence and openly holding pipes. A police officer was also on scene, speaking with some of the people gathered there. As we conducted interviews, the officer approached our crew, escorted us off the property, and asked to identify us. One encampment resident agreed to give us a quick tour. He told us there are good people and bad people staying there, including many struggling with addiction. He also said the property was infested with rats. The land beneath the tents is owned by the Region of Waterloo. The property is supposed to be used to build a transit hub. The region attempted to clear the encampment, but a judge ruled the effort unconstitutional. For now, the encampment remains — much as it has for the past five years.

.Leah ProudLakota (she/her) doesn't want "thoughts and prayers" over Rebel News' orange shirts. The NDP MP wants a criminal law. "Everybody can go around and say, oh, we don't like the orange shirt denialists, but this government actually has the power to criminalize it."

Former Alberta premier @JKenney says 3,300 southern Albertans who died defending Canada "lie in foreign cemeteries below gravestones marked with a maple leaf." "If 118,000 people died for this country, the least we can do on October 19th is to vote for this country."

We lost our court case against the CRA. Help us keep fighting. Bad news. We just lost our court case against the Canada Revenue Agency. The case was about one question: Does a committee hand-picked by Justin Trudeau get to decide who is a journalist in Canada? The Federal Court of Appeal says it does. In case you're out of the loop, a few years ago Trudeau invented a government licence for journalists called the QCJO — the Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization. Outlets that get that licence collect payroll subsidies, and their subscribers get a tax break. The licence is handed out by a panel that Trudeau appointed. Rebel News does not take government money. We never will. So we didn't apply for the money. We applied for one reason: to force the government to say, in writing, whether it thinks we're journalists. It did. A panel hand-picked by Justin Trudeau's government decided that Rebel News — with reporters in courtrooms, at Parliament and on the streets of every big city in the country — is not "qualified." Meanwhile, the newspapers and broadcasters Ottawa approves of collect payroll subsidies, and their subscribers got a tax break that ours were denied. The courts didn't make their own judgment about us. They deferred to Trudeau's committee. A committee now decides who counts as a journalist in Canada, and the courts say that's fine. Today it's Rebel News. But the government can use the same tool on anyone. The legal bill for this fight is now over $100,000, and the court ordered us to pay the government's costs on top of our own. The ruling is 2026 FCA 170. You can read it for yourself at A normal person would pay the bill, go quiet and stop criticizing the government. That's the rational thing to do. But I'm a free man in a free country, and we don't need Ottawa's permission to report the news. So here is the plan. Step 1: Pay the bill. Over $100,000. That's the cost of making the government show its hand, and I'd do it again. But it has to be paid, and soon. Step 2: Review an appeal. Our lawyer, Robert Hawkes, is studying whether we can ask the Supreme Court of Canada to hear the case. We have about 60 days to decide. I'll tell you the moment we do, either way. Step 3: Get ready for the censorship fights of the Carney era. They're already here. Bill C-9 puts the government's definition of "hatred" into the Criminal Code and lets a judge put conditions on you for something you haven't said yet. Bill C-22 makes it easier for police to get your information from your phone and internet company, some of it without a warrant. Bill C-34 creates a new government commission over social media with the power to decide what's "harmful." We will be in court on those, and court costs money. I'd rather raise it now than beg for it in the middle of a trial. There's one bright spot in this ruling. In three separate places, the court says the government cannot use our political opinions to grant or take away our rights. That's a line we will hold them to in every censorship fight to come. We've beaten the federal government before: twice against the Leaders' Debates Commission, and four times when cabinet ministers blocked our reporters on social media. We lost this one. But we'll win the next. If you can help, you can do so at REPORT by Ezra Levant 🍁🚛:

We were outside a government-funded refugee hotel doing a story when we noticed a man getting into a brand new SUV. We asked him how he could afford it... turns out, he used to live in the hotel. Now the government pays for his car and all his living expenses. Your tax dollars at work.
