Yesterday, on Michael Coren’s The Arena.
Video thanks to Aloha Snackbar 01.
This is the last video, as today Sun TV is no more. The enemies of the freedom of speech and foes of those who tell the truth about the jihad threat are celebrating today, but Kathy Shaidle explains that the fix was in:
Canadian liberals are gloating this morning (actually, that’s an understatement) as word spreads that Sun News Network — dubbed “Fox News North” by those same detractors — has shut down.
I’ve posted numerous Sun News clips here at PJMedia over the years, particularly segments starring Ezra Levant and Brian Lilley.
They and their colleagues at Sun broke major stories, covered issues the country’s lockstep liberal media either wouldn’t touch or misreported, and interviewed guests you didn’t see anywhere else.
The problem was, cable providers weren’t required to carry Sun News like they are more established, mainstream news channels. Sun pleaded with the bureaucrats in charge for “must carry” status, and lost.
After that, its shutdown was only a matter of time.

Bad news. another nail in the coffin of free speech.
Ayatrollah says
Funny, the one tiny Canadian news channel that took on Islam is gone. A great win for multiculturalism
45charlie says
sun Media was a great source of truth. Sadly it couldn’t gain enough support. Most Canadians would rather ignore what is happening around the world Until it is too late.
MainTour says
This religion discussion board has a topic this week promoting “Islam is as American as…”
http://religiondispatches.org/islam-is-as-american-as/
Any suggestions?
Cunamarra says
As American as the Divine Right of Kings, Slavery, National Socialism, the Emperor Worship of Japan, Karl Marx, Jim Crow and every other evil our country has fought against from both an intellectual and military position.
shrugger says
That’s unfortunate. Even Fox News doesn’t always tell it like it is.
Allan says
I think Sun News closed down today! Can some confirm or deny this?

Side Note:
Ben Carson removed from SPLC “extremist” list
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/02/11/splc-apologizes-removes-ben-carson-from-extremist-list/
Strange that I did not see a subcategory for Muslim jihardist extremists at SPLC
Jay Boo says
For people not familiar with North Carolina, the whole area around Raleigh -Durham (RDU) & Research Triangle Park (RTP) with three major universities has many non native residents and a high number of liberal minded persons.
Chapel Hill in particular is likely the most liberal area in the state of North Carolina.

darkness meets darkness .. like a match and a fuse…

Sun was my favourite News channel. Especially Ezra & Brian. Ezra in particular was a great freedom fighter. They will be missed. I can’t stand CTV, CBC etc they make me I’ll.

The mother of the two Muslim sisters who were murdered, Rabia Chaudry, has a blog, “Split the Moon” (we know where that comes from, and in whose honor). Her Twitter photo shows her wearing the same hemi-hijab her daughters wore:
https://twitter.com/rabiasquared/status/565610514169229313
She appears to be an activist (and using her capacity as a lawyer, perhaps, to further her activism). This quote from her blog may indicate the general thrust of her activism:
on Saturday I had the pleasure of attending a unique summit hosted by YouTube that brought together Muslim leaders from around the country, CVE experts, YouTube celebrities, and technical experts to explore creative ways being used by some amazing young Muslim Americans to tell their stories. Its in that telling, if done well enough, that we’ll be able to elevate authentic narratives about the lives everyday Muslims lead, and the kinds of good work they do, to counter the ugly that is online (and IRL). That ugly comes from two major sources: violent extremists who are Muslims, and anti-Muslim bigots.

the ugly comes from two major sources violent extremists who are muslims, and anti -AMERICA BIGOTS. THAT NOW SOUND SO MUCH BETTER.
Rob says
Interesting that the brother came out with a ‘We’re Muslim, we’re American and we’re here to stay’ statement and without drawing breath added ‘This act should be declared a hate crime’.
No complaint investigation, no due process – just a summary finding of guilt.
How American is that?
How flimsy the covering of civilisation?
Betty says
WELL ROB. I look at it this way if they didn’t act like a bunch of hogs and pigs. wanting every thing their way. wanting to change the law of this nation and push islam on AMERICANS. wanting AMERICANS TO CATER TO THEIR EVERY WHIM. MAYBE AMERICANS WOULDN’T FEEL LIKE THEY DO ABOUT THEM. AND WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE ARE HERE TO STAY THEY MIGHT AS WELL SUCK IT UP AND LIVE BY OUR LAWS OR THEY ARE WELCOME TO LEAVE MY AMERICA. FRANKLY I JUST SOON THEY WOULD LEAVE SURE WOULD SOLVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR THIS COUNTRY.

Yes a sad day in my country; no one else like SUN news and few dare to go where they went.

From the mother of the Muslim sisters shot dead (in North Caroline) by an obvious madman. Incidentally this madman has links with the Southern Poverty Law Centre which specialises in hate articles against people like Pamela Geller.
By the above quote she (the mother of these unfortunate victims of this madman) sees Islamic State and she sees those who are not prepared to accept the Media lies about Islam but seek to go deeper to examine the actual texts of Islam. Both of these she throws into the same pot. Both of these she sees as extreme hatreds. The webpage of this mother is an extreme example of equivalence.
On the Deen Institute there is a reference there to Robert Spencer being the modern Goebbels.
This shows the measure of the lies that these types are prepared to spread. The lies and the hatred is coming from one side only and that is against any person on earth who is prepared to make a scientific study of Islam and if you are a scientist you go (always) to root causes. The root causes of Islam are surely the foundational documents.
It is very unfortunate to have to report the deaths of these women but the above comment about hatred by their mother has to be understood as well.
I understand that Robert Spencer who the Deen Institute refers to as Goebbels has to live with some protection but the Mother above will be quiet on that score.
It is coming to the point where to engage in true scientific endeavour it is now necesary to defend oneself against brute force.
Any discussion on this should also have raised as central that the British Government has Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller on a ban list – banned from entering Britain. Thus Governments lay out the red carpet as it were to the promotion of such hatred…I say against science and against scientists because I see Geller and Spencer as scientists.

A sad day for free speech with the closure of the SUN news channel. Superb commentators such as Ezra Levant, Michael Coren, etc. will be sadly missed. Let’s hope FOX takes them on board.
FredvanH says
“The muslims who were murdered seem to be wonderful people, beautiful people, I mean, this is a tragedy…” When the female is wearing a rag on her head, a symbol of islamic supremacy, and, more specifically, the superiority of its followers over the khufar, in my book, they’re not wonderful at all. They are subscribers to a fascist ideology, period. It’s not the first time I’ve come to the conclusions that the opinions of that Michael Coren’s are biased by his own, christian, beliefs.
Linda Rivera says
SUN NEWS closed down. Horrible. What a sad day for Canada and the Free World.
Sun News were/are HEROES. As someone else commented, I hope Fox News will take them.
Bernice says
Sun News — a real loss for free speech and freedom in general. Where will we ever get the truth now? Certainly not from mainstream media where they mouth platitudes and won’t use the word “terrorist” even when it applies!
I’ve heard that the principal hosts are toying with the idea of contiuing online. PLEASE DO!
And does this have anything to do with the fact that Sun Media tycoon Peladeau is running for Roi du Quebec? With the Parti Quebecois at his fingertips, what would he want with the truth, after all?

Gone is the only news channel we had that gave us truths, gone is our freedom of speech in Canada. What will become of Canadians ? Libtards are signing our death warrant.
Jae M says
Sun news gone…terrible for us, now we are left with the pablum of non-news the media feeds the citizens of Canada. I truly hope that this won’t be the end. I hope the reporters from Sun go independent on whatever venue they can to continue reported real news.
