Police are investigating a possible arson after Calgary firefighters were called to the House of Prayer Alliance Church last night.

Multiple calls were made to report a blaze at the church around 7:20 p.m. Emergency responders were able to extinguish the fire, which mostly damaged the exterior of the building.

Speaking with the CBC, Batt. Chief Keith Stahl said that fire crews are now “working with investigators to determine the cause of the fire”.

Rev. Mabini Dabalos of the Alliance Church said he was saddened by the fire at the building, which is owned by the Calgary Vietnamese Alliance, because it will “displace his congregation”.

“The trend of the Christian churches being vandalized, burned, on the way here I was thinking in the back of my head, ‘I hope this isn’t [related to] what’s going on in our province’,” added the reverend.

Rebel News is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest of the criminals who are burning down Canadian churches. Learn more at FindTheArsonist.com.

VIEWERS REACT: CBC show breaks COVID rules, cops don't care

In case you missed it, Rebel reporter David Menzies was charged for covering an anti-lockdown protest in Peterborough, Ontario hosted by independent MPP Randy Hillier and People's Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier.

After receiving a charge for these apparently egregious actions, David returned to Peterborough after being tipped off about the CBC filming an episode of Murdoch Mysteries in the city. As it so happened, the cast and crew were violating many of the same rules that David was accused of, so he felt it necessary to inform the local police of these ongoing offences.

Alas, it was another instance of one rule for me and one rule for thee.

You can catch up with that story and help fund David's legal battle at StandWithMenzies.com.

On last week's edition of Rebel Roundup, David shared viewers opinions on this double standard when it comes to COVID enforcement.

One viewer, James B, pointed out how there seemed to be a double standard inside the Peterborough police station itself:

Anyone notice the cops were not wearing masks inside the cop station?

Another viewer, Firstpo JKH, who is a new Rebel News watcher, decided to look past the mainstream narrative, and give Rebel a chance:

I used to avoid Rebel News because I was always taught that you were racists and fake news. Now I realize that the people who were telling me that are the real racists and fake news. Keep doing what you are doing Rebel News. You guys are a national treasure.

We couldn't continue to bring you the other side of the story if it wasn't for all of our loyal viewers, so the support is much appreciated.

EZRA REACTS: Hecklers chant “Lock Shandro up!” at Alberta Health Minister

Hecklers recently shouted “Lock Shandro up!” at Alberta's health minister, Tyler Shandro, at the conclusion of a Canada Day parade in Calgary. The heckling drew condemnation from the media, who pointed to the fact that at the time, Shandro was with his wife and two sons.

On a recent Rebel News DAILY Livestream, Ezra Levant reacted to whether or not these hecklers were justified in taking this action.

In Ezra's view, the heckling is fine, but leave the children out of the equation:

My view is, don't bug children, don't drag children into things, don't scare someone's children. If a politician is with his children, don't engage. I acknowledge that there's a blurry line when you're a public person at a public event and you bring your kids along, does that mean you're immune from heckling?

I think it's a dumb thing to say [Tyler Shandro is] a war criminal, because he's not involved in a war. What he's doing against Albertans may be unlawful, unethical, immoral, unconstitutional, illegal — but it's not a war.

But putting aside that verbal thing, “lock him up” [saying] that he belongs in jail. Well, he locked up other people for breaking the health laws, so maybe he does belong in jail. I'm not against the heckle “lock him up/you belong in jail,” I'm not against heckles that are technically inaccurate like [saying] he's a war criminal — I just think that sounds goofy — but it's shouldn't be against the law to heckle a politician who is being so abusive and such a cheater himself.

Four Liberal donor judges appointed in one day by Trudeau government

Justin Trudeau's Attorney General David Lametti appointed four Liberal Party donors as judges in Ontario and Quebec in a single day last week.

According to a report from Blacklock's:

[Daniel Urbas, now a Québec Superior Court judge] had donated $9,351 to various Liberal Party organizers including $1,200 to Attorney General Lametti’s 2015 campaign, according to federal filings.

…Lawyer Louis Charette of Montréal was also appointed a Superior Court judge in Québec. Charette had donated $6,232 to Liberal Party campaigns including $2,000 to then-leadership candidate Michael Ignatieff in 2009.

Jill Presser, a Toronto lawyer, was appointed an Ontario Superior Court judge. Presser was a regular donor to the Party with contributions totaling $6,189.

William Black of Toronto was appointed an Ontario Superior Court judge. Black’s law firm did not comment on Elections Canada records indicating a Toronto lawyer by the identical name had donated $4,523 to the Liberal Party since 2019.

Last month, the Commons Justice Committee rejected a motion from Conservative MP Michael Cooper (St. Albert—Edmonton) to review the judicial appointments of Liberal donors.

In an email circulated to the Committee, Cooper cited former AG Jody Wilson-Raybould and brought up the use of the Liberal Party's donor database, the 'Liberalist', in the appointments process:

Former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould validated those concerns of political interference directed by the PMO when she noted, “During my time as minister, there were people in the centre, the Prime Minister's Office, other ministers, Liberal partisans, who would take great interest in the appointments process”.

…Now we know that for six years Liberalist was used to vet 100% of candidates for judicial appointment. We further know that 25% of the judicial appointments made by this government just happen to be Liberal donors. What a coincidence.

Before the motion was voted down, Liberal MP James Maloney (Etobicoke—Lakeshore) called it “incredibly offensive.”
