New poll proves Rebel News is Canada's fastest growing news source
Pollara, one of Canada's major polling companies, has released its fourth annual Trust in Media survey. The results show, for the fourth year in a row, Rebel News is getting stronger.
@EzraLevant walked through the numbers on Wednesday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show.
The number of Canadians who watch Rebel News daily has doubled in the past year, with 8% of Canadians now say they watch on most days, and another 14% watching occasionally — a combined reach of 22% of the country.
For comparison, the Globe and Mail, founded in 1844, backed by millions in government subsidies, and owned by Canada's wealthiest oligarch, sits at 11% daily readership.
"I think there's a real chance we'll catch up with them next year," Ezra said, "even though they've had a 171-year head start."
The numbers among Gen Z are even more striking. In the 18- to 34-year-old demographic, 14% say they watch Rebel News on most days. The Globe and Mail's daily readership in that same age group is also 14%.
"As many young people watch Rebel News as read the Globe," Ezra said. "Our little band of citizen journalists. Wow." He noted that Rebel News's marketing budget is close to zero, and growth has come entirely through word of mouth.
The trust numbers tell a similar story.
In 2023, Rebel News had a net trust score of minus 8 — meaning more Canadians distrusted it than trusted it. In 2026, that number is even. Among Canadians who actually watch Rebel News, the trust score has climbed from 57% to 72% over three years.
The Globe and Mail's trust score among its own readers is 74%. "We're almost in a tie with them," Ezra said.
Perhaps most surprisingly, Rebel News's net trust score among Liberal voters is minus 3. "Almost as many Liberals trust us as don't," Ezra said.
Throughout its 11-year history, Rebel News has never taken a cent in government funding. Instead, Ezra noted the company has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting the government over issues like censorship and defending journalists who have been arrested while on assignment.
“Canadians notice,” Ezra said, “and they like it.”
Star Wars spent nearly 50 years building one of the most loyal fanbases in entertainment history. You don’t lose 85% of your audience because fans suddenly stopped caring. You lose them when you stop making stories they actually want to watch and then act like the audience is the problem.
Instead of asking why so many longtime fans walked away, Hollywood keeps insisting the answer is to double down on the same formula.
Can Star Wars ever win its fans back, or is the damage already done?
If Israel had the ability to save every baby in Gaza, it would.
If Hamas had the ability to kill every baby in Israel, they would.
That is the difference.
Important for Christians to understand why secular progressives ardently attempt to erase the (vast) Christian influence + presence in our nation’s founding:
The strategy = “Rewrite the PAST to control the FUTURE.”
“How do we keep Christianity and Christians from influencing the legislated morality of the country and continue its hurl toward more evil?
By deceiving people into believing the US was never largely influenced by Christianity in the past, so it never should be in the future.”
Yes, @atRachelGilmore, you sanctimonious twit, this is where we are at now.
People are free to choose how to live their lives.
Isn't that what the whole point of Pride is supposed to be about?
Why are you trying to shame him because he's not doing what YOU think he should be?
CBC refused to include a comment from Pierre Poilievre to balance their coverage of Carney’s press conference.
Pierre spoke and took questions for 56 minutes. (Video below)
The CBC included 0% of it.
The CBC is the state broadcaster and only exists because Canadians are forced to pay for it through their taxes.
The very least it can do is cover all sides of the issues.
"Islamic authorities rebuilt the Church of the Holy Sepluchre (sic) three times."
This never happened. Once, the Church was even destroyed by a Muslim ruler himself, only rebuilt through Byzantine efforts.
Tucker brings on the most historically illiterate "historians."
Douglas Murray hits the nail on the head here.
"What Israel has been up against is not just a people of death, but a cult of death which wishes to annihilate an entire race. And which after dealing with that race, has made very clear what it wants to do with Christians."
Carney and Eby are now blaming each other for their condo bailout.
The bottom line is that the Liberals and the NDP inflated a housing bubble. The bubble has burst. Now they are forcing taxpayers, who can’t afford homes and food, to bail out their developer donors.

This should stop every parent in their tracks.
In 1994 Japan ended all mandatory vaccines for babies under two years old.
The outcome? Japan now has one of the lowest infant mortality rates on the planet.
America? Highest infant mortality of all industrialized nations.
The only thing the excellent and honest @SpencerGuard doesn’t do is provide you with a sharp rebuke to your constant interruptions and misleading questions. The numbers are plain and as simple as can be in a modern war. The @IDF has the best ratio on record in modern warfare, even when you rely on Hamas’ inflated numbers. @piersmorgan should stop peddling lies, propaganda and libel against the only democracy in the ME that is keeping jihadists at bay.
