Rebel News Network is asking a court to quash $3,000 worth of fines levied against the right-wing media outlet by the commissioner of elections.

The fines were imposed earlier this year after an investigation by the commissioner’s office into thousands of lawn signs erected by Rebel News during the 2019 federal election campaign ostensibly to promote a new book by Rebel founder Ezra Levant.
