Last week, the Government of Alberta wrote us a bizarre letter, declaring that we here at The Rebel are legally not journalists. Because some of our work criticized Rachel Notley, the desperate, failing premier of Alberta, she says we are actually a political campaign group, and have to register with her government, and be regulated by them, like they do in Iran.
And because we won’t register with the government, they propose to fine us $5,500. If we don’t comply, they can fine us up to $100,000, per story they don’t like.
They decided this at a secret trial that they didn’t even tell us about, until after we were convicted.
So, of course, we’re not going to stop criticizing Notley or her bullies and we’re not going to pay their $5,500 fine. We’re going to fight back.
