(UPDATE: May 10, 2018) Justice is served!
We got him.
We finally got him.
Dion Bews.
That NDP thug who hit our reporter Sheila Gunn Reid in the face at the women’s march last year.
A judge finally condemned him — and ripped his excuses to ribbons.
Bews had already been convicted in a criminal court. But Sheila wasn’t given the right to speak, and the judge in that court never even saw the shocking video of Bews swearing at Sheila, threatening to punch her, and then punching her — and then scurrying away.
Finally, we got some justice.
Bews will pay Sheila $1,000 in damages, and $2,500 in punitive damages. That’s pretty standard for punching someone in the face. But this was never about the money.
It's about taking a stand against violence from Canada’s alt-left.
And about defending one of Canada’s best journalists from thugs who would violently censor her.
We had a great lawyer who was very conscientious, and kept his fees reasonable. But we still spent $36,000 on the lawsuit. If you want to help us cover that legal bill, I’d be grateful — please click here to donate now.

(UPDATE: January 24, 2017) According to an Edmonton Police Services press release, Jason Dion Bews, 34, has been charged with assault and utter threats.
UPDATE: WE CAUGHT HIM! Dion Bews of Edmonton, please turn yourself into the nearest police department, and prepare for a massive civil lawsuit.
BOUNTY: We received several tips, and are checking to see which one came in first. You will be contacted to receive your $1,000 bounty!
Yesterday our Alberta bureau chief, Sheila Gunn Reid, was hit in the face by an NDP thug, right on the steps of the Alberta Legislature. Here's Sheila's report:
Sheila had gone there to report on a left-wing “Women’s March.” It was basically an NDP rally against Donald Trump. So: the usual professional protesters from the left.
Of course, the event was dominated by NDP men. One of them saw Sheila, and recognized her from The Rebel.
He started arguing with her; then swearing at her; then he said he’d hit her — and then he did.
All while Sheila’s camera was rolling. Here is the full unedited video:

Even more incredibly, the NDP women standing right there, who saw the whole thing, immediately blocked Sheila, and helped the thug scurry away. They sided with the male criminal, against the female victim.
So much for women’s rights. The NDP doesn’t even believe women should have the benefit of the Criminal Code, if they’re conservative.
Even more incredible, a photographer from the Canadian Press named Jason Franson was right there, taking pictures the whole time. But he didn’t publish any of those pictures; he didn’t support his fellow journalist. He actually pushed Sheila, too — and verbally disparaged her.
Violence against women; blaming the victim; helping the criminal get away — all at an NDP “Women’s March”.
Obviously Sheila went straight to the police, who are investigating. But the criminal is still on the loose.
I need your help to find this NDP thug, and bring him to justice.
I will pay $1,000 to the first person who gives us information leading to the arrest of this violent NDP pig. Ask your friends, send his picture around, go through Facebook pages.
And send me all the info, at tips@therebel.media. First one to catch him gets $1,000.
(Please do not take the law into your own hands, however tempting. Leave the illegal violence to the NDP street thugs — that’s not how we behave.)
I thought Alberta was safe for journalists. But not under Rachel Notley’s NDP.
Remember, Notley herself set the tone last year, by sending an armed sheriff to block Sheila from the Legislature. And she ordered the NDP’s Justice Department to send Sheila a letter, banning her from all government premises.
Yesterday, one of Notley’s thugs simply followed the message from the top: silence Sheila at any cost.
And I’m here to say:
No. We’re going to find you, you violent thug, and you’re going to jail.
Send your information to tips@therebel.media
Yours truly,
Ezra Levant
P.S. There is no way I’m letting Notley’s thugs intimidate Sheila. So from now on, I’m sending her to public events with a professional security guard.

Those cost up to $40/hour, including travel time. But we’re simply not going to let Notley’s street gangs stop us. If you can help, please chip in to a special security fund to keep Sheila safe. You can do that, too, by CLICKING HERE.
Thank you.
Was he just a coward?
funny guy our troll.
Wow, you really back losers don’t you?

He also took down his website: http://dionguitars.ca/
Jack, your obvious hate and loathing over Ezzra is more than evident. Why don’t you get in touch with Shiela and see what her response is? Would save me the bother of arguing with a brick!
Beauty, DEBORAH.

It is rather amusing when the leftards start foaming at the mouth. It has become so predictable it is laughable.

You mean like how Sharia Law is going to be a thing in Canada and we are going to become a Muslim country or how Canada is doomed if a Liberal is running things or how pedophilia and beastiality are going to be legal in Canada?
The Rebel is FULL of people that actually believe this shit and Ezra feeds into your fears.
The CBC routinely creates and escalates “news” that would raise the bloodpressure of the taxpayers who pay for it.
MIKE DUFFY MIKE DUFFY MIKE DUFFY….then….nothing comes of it…
ROBOCALLS ROBOCALLS ROBOCALLS…..then….nothing comes of it….
THE OCEANS ARE RISING!!! THE OCEANS ARE RISING!!!….British authorities responsible for things like calibarating altimeters and naval gunnery tables say not at all in the last fifty years….NASA says a net average of 3.4 mm a year…that’s half the thickness of an airgun bb. And an overall rise of 80 mm in 30 years. Nothing smaller than 300 meters is ever called a mountain….a molehill is about 10 centimeters….at that rate it would take a century to make a molehill. OH BUT IT’s MOUNTAINOUS NEWS ON THE CBC!!!
Sheila already raised money to pay the tall guy in dark glasses standing to her left
he was originally volunteering to to watch over Shelia.
This is Ezra’s crap, pushing people into making news, instead of reporting it.
Sheila, you have a family, do put yourself in harms way for a paycheck from Ezra.
Brian, it’s time for you to step in and shut their clown show down.
Where in the hell do you come up with this?
The guy looks like a typical leftist protest everything, hope I get laid white cuck.
In fact I recognize him from protests in Vancouver where I live.
Newsflash Rebel, the suggestion that he is acting on the NDP parties behalf
is opening YOU up to a lawsuit.
Lemme guess, Ezra doesn’t mind because he’ll just make another plea for cash
to bail him out of yet another legal problem he’s dug himself into.
Part of the reason Sun News failed was because it become a freaking clown show
like Fox news did during the late 90’s into the mid-00’s.
Report the news, don’t make the news Rebel and maybe people
who are hoping for an alternative to the MSM will take you more seriously.
Do yourself a favor Sheila, stop allowing yourself to be used by Ezra
you do great work exposing the NDP and their crap.
Ya he’s your boss, but you don’t have to do everything he says
same goes for Lauren, you have talent at getting a message across.
Don’t be a attention whore like Ezra.
Chris, that is not a shocker because The Huffington Post is a left-wing rag.
