Are the Regina Police taking revenge on me?
The Regina Police have blocked me — and Rebel News — on Twitter, or X as it's now called. That's not just petty. It's illegal.
A government agency cannot ban a citizen from a public service simply because it doesn't like their reporting. I've taken that exact fight to court four times, against four different government bullies, and won all four.
So why did they block me? I think I know.
Two weeks ago, I went to Regina to cover a downtown mosque and its plan to blast the Muslim call to prayer over loudspeakers — loud enough to be heard for half a mile in every direction. And the strangest part wasn't the noise. It was the police.
There's been no city hall debate. No public consultation. The Regina Police simply made the call, and then put out a tweet threatening to prosecute anyone who objects the wrong way for hate crimes.
Police pre-announcing arrests over a house of worship's loudspeakers. That's how it works in Pakistan, not Saskatchewan.
This is the same force that just fired its chief of police, Farooq Sheikh, for cause — no severance, which tells you how bad it was.
So, when I showed up at the mosque press conference and found a row of police cars, I did what a reporter does: I walked over and asked a few polite questions. They didn't like that one bit.
I finished my report. And when I went back to the Regina Police account for a follow-up, I found I'd been blocked.
Here's the thing. I'm a private person — I can block anyone I want. The Regina Police are a government agency, paid for by taxpayers. Their account is a public service, no different from a government phone line or a government office. They can't slam the door in your face because you criticized them.
I know this because I've proven it. I chased Steven Guilbault for years over the same stunt. On the eve of trial, he panicked and settled — agreeing to unblock me for the rest of his career and to pay me $20,000 (which, naturally, he stuck taxpayers with). It's settled law now. Nobody gets to claim they didn't know.
So, this week, our lawyer Chad Williamson sent the Regina Police a scorching demand letter. They have until Friday, July 17, to unblock us and promise never to do it again. If they don't, we'll sue.
You can read the entire letter at https://t.co/cepBDYCJsa — along with every other case we've won. And make no mistake: if they'll do this to me, they're doing it to other Reginans too. That's what bullies do.
Unlike the Regina Police, we take no tax money. We rely on you. If you think this fight is worth having, please help me cover the legal bills at https://t.co/cepBDYCJsa.
REPORT by @ezralevant:
Here are some of the details on what Canada had to give up to open the Gordie Howe Bridge, as per a Canadian government source.
For the first 15 years, Canada gets 50% of toll profits and the other 50% goes into a regional "economic development fund." What that fund does and who runs, is not clear
Under the previous agreement, Canada was to receive 100% of toll profit until they were made whole on the $6.4B they spent to build the bridge, which Michigan/the US contributed $0. The agreement also says it could be 50+ years before Canada was whole, that timeline is now longer.
The Americans will have to agree if Canada wants to increase the bridge tolls by more than 10%, or lower them below compared regional averages.
That clause helps out the owners of the Ambassador Bridge, the Maroun family, who have donated to the Trump administration and previously to US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, to try and stop the new bridge from opening #cdnpoli
@CityofEdmonton This needs to be done more around town! It’s natural, cleans up the dry grass, is healthy for the vegetation that comes after and safer as the summer presses on. Great to see this.
BREAKING: Liberals just won a Quebec riding by 1 vote after a recount.
Over 800 ballots disqualified.
They’re now at 170 seats—just 2 away from a majority.
1 vote.
840 ballots rejected
Imagine only 839 rejected ballots
WTF is happening in Canada?
@GraceOnFire2@ABDanielleSmith The olive branch was extended, congratulatory words, and reminder that we are ready for a better relationship with Ottawa. Carney has not responded. Cant wheel and deal if you are speaking at a brick wall!
To those that think Carney’s CV means anything and think he’ll be good for the economy: look at who just endorsed Poilievre
If you know anything about business in Canada you will recognize most if not all names on here. Trust their judgement.
Carney is not who you think he is.
Given his refusal to repeal the ‘no new pipelines’ law, Canadians need to know why @MarkJCarney is so against building Canadian pipelines while his company buys pipelines in the U.S. and around the world.
Would Canadian pipelines compete against and hurt his portfolio? We need to know about these issues before the election is held.

Why does a country like Canada, with roughly 40 million people, need so much govt?
One in four employed Canadians works for the public sector.
Why do so few people find this staggering statistic concerning?
Holy sh*t!
Mark Carney is conflicted with Donald Trump.
Brookfield saved the Kushner family by paying $1.1 Billion for a 99-year LEASE! And paid it upfront - not annually. The US investigated him for this & GFANZ as part of the climate cartel. Trump OWNS Carney!
🚨PLEASE KEEP RE-POSTING THIS STORY🚨
How come this story just 'went away'?
@S_Guilbeault, the ultimate POS climate grifter, DOESN'T get a free pass.
THIS IS HUGE & HE NEEDS TO GO TO PRISON.
