Ezra Levant

Ezra Levant is the founder and CEO of Rebel News, host of The Ezra Levant Show, a human rights activist, best-selling author, and dad. He was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for advancing freedom of expression.

In 2014, Ezra was chosen as the “most irritating Canadian” by the Globe and Mail’s TV critic. The Globe’s readers were less discriminating, voting Ezra “the biggest name in Canadian broadcasting.” In the 2014 Hill Times survey of Parliament Hill staff, he was voted “talking head you’d most like to silence” by an overwhelming margin. The next year he started Rebel News, which made that a lot harder.

It’s not all bad news, though. In 2009, Ezra wrote a best-selling book called Shakedown: How Our Government is Undermining Democracy in the Name of Human Rights. That book was selected by the Writers’ Trust as the best Canadian political book in 25 years, though that sounds like a clerical error.

Ezra went on to write Ethical Oil: The Case for Canada’s Oilsands, which won the 2011 National Business Book Award.

His other books include The Enemy Within, Trumping Trudeau, The Libranos, China Virus, and Trudeau’s Secret Plan.

Against his will, Ezra learned all the songs to the movie Frozen.
