The Rebel focuses on cultural issues that elites prefer to silence. That is why they won't call David Menzies a journalist. (1200 words, 6 minute read)
So good. Nothing to add. I don't read or listen to Rebel News, but they play an important role in Canadian cultural discourse, and an increasingly important one, as you say. I am very disappointed in Ibbitson. btw. I used to read the G&M every Saturday for many many years, and always found it balanced but of late, its as woke as the rest of the Canadian MSM. I always enjoyed reading Ibbitson, I though he was reasonable. But on gender, fuck me, has he drunk the Koolaid. His commentary on trans issues is inaccurate, unfair and down right prejudicial. He has genuinely beclowned himself. Rebel, on the other hand, court jesters though they may sometimes be, are the real honest actors.
I hope. I actually write him a letter of complaint about his coverage of trans issues, some months ago, disputing his claims with factual information, and he acknowledged my letter. There may be hope for him.
I will also say your observation about these cultural matters being important to the Establishment is perfect. A you note they are SO important to them that they will not brook even simple discussion about them, let alone disagreement. Even opening these matters to discussion (opening the Overton Window in a way) is very threatening to them.

Sometimes, smart people drink the wrong koolaid. Maybe he'll recover one day.
