The connections between the Toronto Sun and Rebel Media continue to grow.

On October 3rd an email was sent out to Rebel Media’s mailing list. In it, Ezra Levant asked for donations to send reporters to cover the trial of Tommy Robinson. Robinson is a far-right activist who is accused of starting a “racist street movement” and is currently on trial for contempt of court.

The email asked for money to pay for four journalists. Two of the journalists were Toronto Sun columnists Candice Malcolm and Tarek Fatah.

Malcolm has been accused of using white nationalist rhetoric to support her arguments. She is a regular contributor to Rebel Media and has appeared in over 20 different Rebel Media YouTube videos.

Tarek Fatah has attacked Muslims, has warned about an Islamic take-over of Canada, and regularly spouts conspiracy theories. He is also a regular guest on Rebel Media appearing in over 20 different videos.

Another” journalist” on the list is Andrew Lawton, who was appointed by Doug Ford as a PC candidate in the last election. Lawton was suspended from his job for homophobic comments, and as reported exclusively by North99, ran a blog that included racist and homophobic blog posts.

Here is a link to the Rebel’s fundraising page that includes a picture of Candice Malcolm.

A second email sent on October 22nd did not include Sun columnist Tarek Fatah. It appears he was replaced with Avi Yemini.

As of writing this story Candice Malcolm is at the event and has filmed a number of videos covering Tommy Robinson.

“It’s my understanding that there is no individual in the last 60 years that has been sentenced to prison for a publication breach of a reporting order,” says Tommy. pic.twitter.com/d2BtpNUo48 — Candice Malcolm (@CandiceMalcolm) October 23, 2018

Numerous columnists have appeared on the Rebel in some capacity including columnists Joe Warmington and Anthony Furey. The crowdfunding campaign raises a number of questions about how deep the connections are between the Toronto Sun and Rebel Media.
