Independent media outlet Rebel News is suing the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) after the agency decided Rebel does not meet the standard of “qualified Canadian journalism organization,” which is necessary to be eligible for federal tax credits and other programs.

Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant told The Epoch Times the fact that the government can decide who qualifies as approved media is “not appropriate for a free country.”
