The biggest two (both related) are Carney and The Liberal Government.
Between a couple of bills already passed and three more on the table and likely to be passed.
Canada is going full UK/CHINESE in their attempt to suppress and even punish any and all who dispute any one of their given "narratives" or question anything they do let alone speak freely about how they feel about what their (corrupt and incompetent) leaders are doing Federally.
In Canada there is no Charlie Kirk in site and never has been although some in the independent media are trying their best which is why the China loving Liberals want independent media silenced and gone.
Canadians who still care about their country and might still like to think that their Charter of Rights and Freedoms still means something had better not let the despicable Liberals have their way.
I like Rebel News on the whole but not a big fan of Ezra.
There is just something about him that, frankly, I never liked, at least in one who has a large public audience and that includes when he was with the Sun way back when.
There are ways to get the Conservative message across and in your face Ezra style I don't think fits the bill.
Juno for example has some very excellent people in terms of getting the facts and message(s) across and also with some excellent people that they interview in their videos.
Fortunately Rebel indeed has some good people.
Don't know anything about the new hire you spoke of but look forward to finding out.
Thanks for the info.
BTW...
One does have to wonder how Carney and Gang would react if indeed Canada had a real Charlie Kirk type speaking to younger voters with a real Conservative message that would resonate with them.
It would be so wonderful to see that and how the free speech hating Lieberals would attempt to respond.
As stated.... No fan of Ezra but cannot dispute his building of Rebel News.
Having said that I think that for Canada to even have a chance of perhaps making it Rebel will be a player somewhere but the real and, I think, only chance would be to have a Charlie Kirk type of personality and Character.
Somebody who can swing the under 40 crowd away from the lies and catastrophes created almost daily from having Liberals and fake Conservatives running things.
Fingers crossed for who knows but at the moment can't come up with a single name in Canada who might fit that bill.
How to know good from evil? The Ten Commandments is a good place to start. Then go on to the principles that sum them up: love God (that is, the God of the Bible) with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, AND love your neighbour as yourself. Blow the dust off your conscience and start paying attention to it.

Charlie Kirk’s death on September 10, 2025, significantly amplified his influence across political, social, and cultural spheres, particularly among conservative audiences. The assassination at Utah Valley University sparked a surge in his posthumous prominence, driven by social media, political reactions, and cultural shifts. Below is an analysis of his influence after death based on available information:
### Social Media and Digital Presence
- **Massive Follower Growth**: Kirk’s social media accounts saw an explosive increase in followers post-assassination. His Instagram gained 3.5 million followers, his podcast’s TikTok account added 1.5 million, and his Facebook page grew by 2.3 million in just three days. Videos of his debates and political arguments, such as “Charlie Kirk Hands Out Huge L’s at University of California San Diego” (4 million views, up from 300,000) and “Charlie Kirk Crushes Woke Lies at Michigan State” (1 million views, up from 250,000), surged in viewership, indicating a renewed interest in his content.[](https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/13/media/charlie-kirk-erika-social-media-tpusa-followers)[](https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/media/charlie-kirk-erika-social-media-tpusa-followers)
- **Content Circulation**: Fans actively shared clips of Kirk’s debates and speeches, amplifying his messages on Christian nationalism, gun rights, and opposition to progressive ideologies. The mournful tone of most comments under these videos suggests a deepened emotional connection to his legacy, rather than calls for vengeance seen in some far-right circles.[](https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/13/media/charlie-kirk-erika-social-media-tpusa-followers)
### Political and Cultural Impact
- **Spiritual and Christian Influence**: A Barna Group survey conducted two months after Kirk’s death revealed that nearly three in ten Americans took some form of action in response, with spiritual responses (e.g., prayer, church attendance) far outpacing political ones. Among Gen Z, 40% reported following Kirk closely before his death, and 47% of respondents predicted a positive impact on Christianity among younger Americans, compared to 19% expecting a negative impact. This suggests Kirk’s death catalyzed a spiritual awakening, particularly among young conservatives.[](https://www.barna.com/research/impact-charlie-kirk/)
- **Transatlantic Conservative Convergence**: Kirk’s death resonated globally, particularly among European right-wing groups. Vigils were held in London, Berlin, Madrid, and Rome, and figures like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and France’s Jordan Bardella framed Kirk’s killing as a result of leftist “hate campaigns.” The European Parliament’s debate over a moment of silence for Kirk highlighted his international influence, with his ideas on anti-immigration, nationalism, and skepticism of globalism finding echo in Europe’s far-right. The adoption of “MEGA” (Make Europe Great Again) and Turning Point UK’s “Je Suis Charlie” slogan underscored this ideological cross-pollination.[](https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/09/13/charlie-kirk-europe-america-populist-nationalist-movement-00561497)
- **Youth Mobilization**: Kirk’s influence on Gen Z and Millennials, already significant through Turning Point USA’s campus events, grew posthumously. Supporters like Isabel Brown and Savanna Stone emphasized Kirk’s role in emboldening young conservatives to embrace Christian values and traditionalism, with his death seen as a call to action rather than a deterrent. However, some young Republicans expressed fear of similar violence, indicating a complex impact on their willingness to engage publicly.[](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62n6ql215ro)[](https://www.npr.org/2025/09/11/nx-s1-5537991/for-charlie-kirks-followers-grief-shock-and-questions-about-the-future)
### Controversies and Backlash
- **Misinformation and Conspiracy Theories**: Kirk’s death sparked rampant speculation, particularly around the shooter, Tyler Robinson, whose motives were linked to his reported support for transgender and antifascist causes. Right-wing influencers falsely tied the killing to broader leftist or transgender conspiracies, amplifying anti-trans rhetoric. These claims were criticized for harming marginalized communities and escalating tensions.[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Charlie_Kirk)[](https://www.npr.org/2025/09/20/nx-s1-5542353/charlie-kirk-jimmy-kimmel-social-media)
- **Critiques of Legacy**: Critics like Moira Donegan argued against sanitizing Kirk’s life, pointing to his opposition to civic equality, promotion of conspiracy theories (e.g., 2020 election fraud, COVID-19 misinformation), and inflammatory rhetoric on race, gender, and abortion. Commentators like Ezra Klein faced backlash for praising Kirk’s debate style as civic virtue, highlighting a divide in how his legacy was perceived.[](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/14/charlie-kirk-killing)
- **Social Media Policing**: The assassination led to a “new age” of employers monitoring employees’ social media, with at least 15 people disciplined for comments invoking “karma” or “divine justice” and others for celebrating Kirk’s death. This trend, spurred by calls from figures like Vance and Loomer, raised concerns about free speech and cancel culture.[](https://gizmodo.com/report-the-death-of-charlie-kirk-led-to-a-new-age-of-bosses-policing-social-media-2000699486)
### Broader Societal Implications
- **Spiritual Openness**: Barna’s data suggested Kirk’s death fit into a pre-existing trend of growing spiritual openness among younger generations, rather than directly causing it. Claims of a direct surge in church attendance were not substantiated, but his death reinforced narratives of Christian persecution among conservatives.[](https://www.barna.com/research/impact-charlie-kirk/)
- **Gun Rights Debate**: Kirk’s prior comments that “some gun deaths” were “worth it” for Second Amendment rights resurfaced, fueling debates over gun control. Democrats used the assassination to push for legislation, while Republicans blamed liberal rhetoric, further entrenching both sides.[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk)[](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62n6ql215ro)
Charlie Kirk’s influence after his death grew exponentially, driven by a surge in social media engagement, a galvanized conservative youth movement, and heightened political polarization. His assassination elevated him to a martyr-like status among supporters, amplifying his messages on Christian nationalism, gun rights, and anti-progressivism. However, it also deepened societal divides, fueled misinformation, and raised concerns about free speech and political violence. While Turning Point USA and Erika Kirk aim to sustain his legacy, critics continue to challenge the narrative of Kirk as a civic hero, ensuring his posthumous influence remains as contentious as his life.
Those we have put in power have decided to redefine good and evil to align with their purpose. I believe we need to be more selective regarding who we grant power to in the future.
Canada has a huge problem.. Several actually.
The biggest two (both related) are Carney and The Liberal Government.
Between a couple of bills already passed and three more on the table and likely to be passed.
Canada is going full UK/CHINESE in their attempt to suppress and even punish any and all who dispute any one of their given "narratives" or question anything they do let alone speak freely about how they feel about what their (corrupt and incompetent) leaders are doing Federally.

Canadians who still care about their country and might still like to think that their Charter of Rights and Freedoms still means something had better not let the despicable Liberals have their way.
Rebel News just hired a very good spokesperson to carry on the fight for our freedoms. They will be as enthusiastic as Charlie Kirk
I like Rebel News on the whole but not a big fan of Ezra.
There is just something about him that, frankly, I never liked, at least in one who has a large public audience and that includes when he was with the Sun way back when.
There are ways to get the Conservative message across and in your face Ezra style I don't think fits the bill.

The new hire is Tamara Leitch. I admire Ezra for how he has built Rebel News. For that, I am grateful.
Good hire for sure.
As stated.... No fan of Ezra but cannot dispute his building of Rebel News.
Having said that I think that for Canada to even have a chance of perhaps making it Rebel will be a player somewhere but the real and, I think, only chance would be to have a Charlie Kirk type of personality and Character.

Fingers crossed for who knows but at the moment can't come up with a single name in Canada who might fit that bill.
Hoping very much this is a never say never thing.
I guess we shall see.
I, too, hope we can turn this country around before it is too late. Merry Christmas William.
Fingers crossed ...
... AND ...
Absolutely!!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

- **Rallying Cry**: The phrase “I AM CHARLIE KIRK” became a viral slogan among supporters, appearing on T-shirts sold through Turning Point USA’s online store and dominating social media discourse. This phrase galvanized his fanbase, framing Kirk as a martyr for conservative causes.[](https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/13/media/charlie-kirk-erika-social-media-tpusa-followers)[](https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/media/charlie-kirk-erika-social-media-tpusa-followers)

- **Polarization and Political Violence**: Kirk’s assassination intensified America’s political divide. Right-wing figures like Laura Loomer and Vice President JD Vance called for retribution, with Vance urging supporters to report those celebrating Kirk’s death to their employers, leading to mass firings and disciplinary actions. This crackdown, criticized as McCarthyist, targeted comments ranging from celebrations to critiques of Kirk’s politics. Conversely, left-wing voices condemned the violence but faced accusations of fueling it through prior rhetoric. The event was seen as a potential turning point for political violence, with fears of a “darker chapter” in U.S. history.[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reprisals_against_commentators_on_the_Charlie_Kirk_assassination)[](https://www.npr.org/2025/09/20/nx-s1-5542353/charlie-kirk-jimmy-kimmel-social-media)[](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/14/charlie-kirk-death-us-violence)

### Turning Point USA and Organizational Legacy
- **Continued Momentum**: Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, appointed CEO of Turning Point USA, vowed to sustain his mission, declaring in a livestream that “the movement my husband built will not die.” Her emotional address and commitment to continuing campus tours and media programs signaled a robust organizational response. Supporters like Rep. Anna Paulina Luna credited Kirk for their political careers, urging young conservatives to organize in his memory.[](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdxqnkwerj7o)[](https://www.npr.org/2025/09/11/nx-s1-5537991/for-charlie-kirks-followers-grief-shock-and-questions-about-the-future)[](https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c206zm81z4gt)

- **Global Reactions**: Beyond Europe, figures like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russia’s Kirill Dmitriev praised Kirk, reflecting his appeal to global conservative leaders. However, progressive voices, like French MEP Nathalie Loiseau, criticized Kirk’s “racist, antisemitic, and homophobic” views, illustrating his polarizing global impact.[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Charlie_Kirk)[](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/11/who-was-charlie-kirk-what-we-know-about-the-shooting-and-the-suspect)

Those we have put in power have decided to redefine good and evil to align with their purpose. I believe we need to be more selective regarding who we grant power to in the future.
I hope so, good question!
