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 LetUsReport.com. 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 LetUsReport.com. REPORT by @ezralevant:

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 FireOliviaChow.com and chip in what you can. Let's get her done.
