The Rebel didn’t have the organizational strength to cover the UN’s Paris climate conference last year, but now we’re bigger, and we’ve done some foreign reporting, so we thought: Let’s do it this year, and go to the UN climate conference in Marrakech.
We would crowdfund plane tickets and hotel rooms and send Sheila Gunn Reid, our Alberta bureau chief, plus a producer and cameraman.
Along with three thousand other journalists, we applied for media accreditation.
And we have been rejected.
The UN’s weaselly excuse? We are “advocacy journalists.”
We can’t go because we have an opinion? Then how can the UN approve journalists who are paid propagandists for authoritarian regimes, like China’s Xinhua and CCTV, Qatar’s Al Jazeera and Russia’s RT
Canada’s largest newspaper, the Toronto Star, has an advocacy mission hard-wired into their news room, called the Atkinson Principles. And the Star is accredited for Marrakech.
The UN ignored a letter from our lawyer. I reached out to three left-leaning Canadian journalist groups and they all wrote letters of support. They were ignored, too.
Would Trudeau and Catherine McKenna, the environment minister, demand that the UN end its censorship. It’s pure speculation, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was someone from the office of Trudeau, McKenna or Rachel Notley who requested the UN ban us.
I’m curious how the UN singled us out:
A new, small online news outlet, amongst all the thousands of accreditation requests from around the world...
Please sign our petition at LetUsReport.com, to pressure the UN into reconsidering.
(You can see the UN’s one-line reply to us, our lawyer’s letters and the NGO letters there, too.)
We’re going to send our journalists to Marrakech no matter what. Even if we have to stand outside and shout questions at the elites as they arrive in their fossil-fuel-burning limousines.
PS: Flying to Marrakech, Morocco is an expensive project for us: The flights alone were more than a thousand dollars each. If you want to chip in to help us crowd fund that, you can do so right there on LetUsReport.com too.
NEXT: Friend of show Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com knows all about the UN's climate censorship, and how these conferences operate.
Watch as he gives us the inside story.
THEN: The Rebel’s Candice Malcolm ("Losing True North") and I talk about whether or not Liberal MP and cabinet minister Maryam Monsef really did commit immigration fraud.
Candice also talks about her new Canadian think tank, the True North Initiative. It is "an independent, non-profit research and educational organization dedicated to advancing sound immigration and security policies."
FINALLY: Your messages to me!
Thanks for confirming that you are a complete fucking moron.
CBC Trolls. How does one get such a job? LOL.
Jimmy, you are a paid troll. You know it, I know it ,everyone knows it. No one would want to come off looking like a complete idiot, like you consistently do, unless you are paid to to it. You are a paid troll pure and simple.
This coming from a fucktard that thinks the CBC actually employs trolls to go around posting on conservative websites. Yes, you really make conservatives look good with the idiocy that your brain generates.
There is nothing you can say to negate how stupid you are – when you actually think that the CBC has an army of trolls.
If you were intelligent at all, you wouldn’t make a claim that the CBC actually pays people to troll The Rebel.
Clearly you are a fucking retard, who believes in such conspiracy theories. You know, because it’s not reasonable at all that liberals may come here too.
“So now Ezra Levant wants Trudeau’s help.
LOL.
I hope Trudeau tells him to fuck off, because that is what he would deserve when you consider Levant’s witch hunt on Trudeau. "
For a paid CBC troll one would think you would at least come off as semi-intelligent. But, no, I guess that is too much to expect.
“During one of Ezra’s libel defences in court he fetal-positionally claimed that he was an “entertainer who shouldn’t be taken at face value.”
…sorry Ezra, but you can only shit out of one hole at a time. "
I did not know what an extremely slimy piece of dog shit was until you displayed for everyone that it is you.
LOL.
I hope Trudeau tells him to fuck off, because that is what he would deserve when you consider Levant’s witch hunt on Trudeau.

This is great too:
“We had never heard of Rebel Media before but we looked at their website and, to be honest, they seemed to be in the bracket of being something of a one person band espousing an individual’s view of the world rather than being a serious media operation,’’ Nuttall said in an email.
“Some of the headlines seemed to verge on extremism as well.’’
- Everything about the Syrian “refugees” has been a lie. They lied about them being refugees, they lied about where they were coming from (refugee camps), they lied about the vetting, they lied about the cost, they even seem to have lied to the “refugees” themselves about what to expect when they got to Canada.
It’s fake stories like this that got him put on the do not let in list.
We already know the story: overpaid UN officials running around acting like busy busy Mandarins who act like nobility and expect deference. Then the snooty world leaders grandstanding. Al Gore still grinding out his BS and predictions that are already 18 years unfulfilled but hailed as a spiritual leader no matter how many of his theories have been debunked. Baby Doc Trudeau and various provincial kings showing up, large contingent, acting important. Baby Doc will give away lots of our money after spending lots of our money to feel important and push for a seat at the UN Security Council.
The Chicken Littles of the world will go “oooh, aaah!”, billions will be promised, a worthless consensus will be announced, and everyone will fly off in private half empty jets with a warm and fuzzy feeling in their underwear.
BTW, the US promised $4.7 billion at the Paris Accords. It only put up $4 billion. Baby Doc has already given $2.7 billion this year. First, we have 1/10th the economy of the US, 1/10th the population, and we are borrowing to give away money. Is Baby Doc Trudeau and his puppet master Gerald Butts absolutely out of their minds? Where is the MSM on this – nowhere.
I do not agree with this line from the U.N. accreditation though: “We had never heard of Rebel Media before but we looked at their website and, to be honest, they seemed to be in the bracket of being something of a one person band, espousing an individual’s view of the world, rather than being a serious media operation,”
If Ezra Levant is a one person band, he plays a sweet tune.
“And I wonder how many of those Liberal MPs from across Canada who we see smiling and cajoling in the House of Commons, really have any idea or understanding about what they’re doing and what they’ve done.”
Most, I would wager, but a Liberal’s lust for power and his cut of tax payer wealth overcomes any slight glimmer of morality or ethics in his wretched soul.
Petulant vain feminist tater tot – think he’ll ever man up? We’ll see. If he actually helps you out I will gaujn a new respect for him – but I don’t think he’s made of the type of stoic stuff it takes to do the right thing by a political opponent. That would be the act af a big man, not a tater tot.

This is the guy who wanted the Montana correctional system to execute him.
We’re witnessing reverse McCarthyism. Once we take the country back (likely through civil war as Ben Franklin suggested), that we’ll have to re-institute McCarthyism and make it permanent. Well, there’s no time like the present to get started.
Ezra, we know it’s totally against your grain and philosophy to, but we respectfully request you suspend the acct’s of Kelly and Penson for 3 mos. Really, you’re doing them a favour, as it’ll teach them the values of our society – the Golden Rule. Do unto others, as you’d have others do unto you.
And I wonder how many of those Liberal MPs from across Canada who we see smiling and cajoling in the House of Commons, really have any idea or understanding about what they’re doing and what they’ve done.
