A series of legal actions and incidents involving Rebel News and its journalists have unfolded, highlighting issues of freedom of the press and civil liberties in Canada. Twenty convoy supporters have initiated a lawsuit against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Cabinet for the seizure of bank accounts, alleging violations of their Charter rights due to the invocation of the Emergencies Act. In a separate incident, Rebel News journalist David Menzies was arrested at a pro-Hamas rally in Toronto, an event that has sparked controversy and further legal action against the police for infringing on journalistic freedoms. The arrest, conducted by Toronto Police, including Sergeant Adam Josephs, known as 'Officer Bubbles' for a previous controversial arrest during the G20 summit in 2010, which resulted in a $100,000 lawsuit, has been widely criticized. Rebel News CEO Ezra Levant and journalist Robert Kraychik are also covering the preliminary hearings for the 'Coutts 4,' individuals facing charges related to the trucker blockade in 2022, live from the Lethbridge courthouse. Additionally, individuals affected by the Emergencies Act, including Edward Cornell, are pursuing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the federal government, police, and banks for what they claim are unconstitutional actions.
