Levant has been involved in so many SLAPP court cases.

Last I heard, he was at risk of losing his house in Toronto. I hope that happened.

missgiven.bsky.social•2 days ago

He better not move to Calgary.

mikevlasic.bsky.social•2 days ago

I doubt there's anyone who'd want him for a neighbour, except Skippy.

missgiven.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe he, skippy and harpo can build a men only bro commune. Apart from masterbation and self-flagellation, how would angry bros spend their days.

They all came from the same batch that created Harper 1.0

I’ve been disgusted by Levant since the nineties with his Western Standard mag garbage. 😝

I had to review that "bog roll" along with countless other real journals for CPR when I worked there,in Montréal's Windsor Station. Came across an article about dating being the cause of divorce in the first issue I looked at. Knew it was bog roll from then on !

Indeed that’s the only thing it was good for. 🍑🧻

He's also lost a ton of lawsuits for defaming people.

Peepee is a love child of Levant and Rebel venom. I hope this is the end of his teeth clenching speeches we have to hear.

Peepee is toast.

2/ Did you know Pierre Poilievre has lent his support to far right advocate media that support him, including Levant's, and promised to increase their access while defunding the CBC?

3/ More on Ezra Levant. Is there anything remotely journaliatic about his "news" organizations? A judge ruled Rebel News did not meet the criteria of a news organization. Yet Poilievre gives them and other far right "reporters" significant access.

And ignores constraints as to representation. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/rebel-news-loses-bid-to-quash-fines-for-violating-election-law-on-third-party-ads/ar-BB1rfzSQ Can’t be media and Skippy’s advertising agent. But most worrisome is Skippy’s treatment of Rebel and True North as news media rather than influencers and grifters.

4/ We can see what the far right and Trump are doing in the US. They have increased far right media access in the Oval office, banned AP, sued CNN, CBS 60 minutes, ABC, and a pollster. RW billionaire owners have censored or controlled reporting from WaPo and LA Times.

5/ What lies ahead for Canadian media? Far right Musk has control of our major social media source, Poilievre has signalled he may follow Trump's lead in many ways, promoting the growth of far right advocate sources while defunding public media and suppressing mainstream outlet access.

bill-comeau.bsky.social•2 days ago

6/ It should be lost on no one that two of the sources I needed in this thread to talk about Levant and Poilievre are under attack by far right politicians; the CBC by Poilievre himself, and Wikipedia by Musk. Maybe this time next year, those sources will be compromised or eliminated.

constanceont.bsky.social•2 days ago

Many don't realize that Harper (w PP) sold off our media to control it/us. This is why Poilievre has been allowed to control the current media. Canadians protested Canada wide, *just 13 years ago due to the Harper/Pierre Poutine Robo-call *First Election Fraud in the History of Canada! This Video is

Paul has written some good stuff about Poilievre! Not sure if paywalled? https://open.substack.com/pub/paulwells/p/a-brief-history-of-not-being-great?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1wvfx6

I suggest that the AP boycott his daily briefing.

Instead begin their own daily press briefing and deliver daily facts we can count on.

There they can correct all the daily lies & point out all the truths they wish they could get out of him.

Trump never shut up for 10 years - we need the truth.

landingwell.bsky.social•2 days ago

When actual reporters have access to pp, his wall of misrepresentations crumbles.
He is afraid to be seen for real and called out.
It's called cowardice, an authoritarians' weak third leg.
We'll see what the USA cowards do today. A flat out order to cease gulag runs at 1 am, planned mega protests.

ebfortin.bsky.social•2 days ago

We don't want this fascist bullshit from the south. Go fuck yourself elsewhere Levant.
