Rebel News loves our cruises. We came up with the idea because we take no government money,
00:00:05.660
so we needed a fundraiser and it was a great way to do it. But they become a really well-loved
00:00:10.940
part of what Rebel News does each year. Some people come on the cruise every year. We bring
00:00:16.260
aboard your favorite Rebels like Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies and Alexa Lavoie. And we also
00:00:21.940
bring friends of Rebel News like Tamara Leach. Well, have I got some news for you. Rebel News
00:00:27.780
and our friends at Juno News are teaming up for a super cruise this year, the first time our two
00:00:34.620
companies have worked together on something like this. It'll be the vacation of a lifetime. You
00:00:39.220
won't just be able to hang out with your favorite Rebels, but the Juno team will be with us too.
00:00:44.080
Here's Juno's Kian Bextie to tell you more about it. Thanks, Ezra. Juno News and Rebel News are the
00:00:49.200
only two independent news networks in the entire country and all of Canada that do not take a dime
00:00:54.060
of government money. So it's not surprising that many of our supporters like both of us.
00:00:59.700
This cruise is going to be a great way for Juno News supporters and Rebel News supporters to spend
00:01:04.560
some time together and with us a week aboard the luxurious Holland America line as we sail
00:01:09.900
through the Caribbean Sea stopping in some pretty amazing ports for some sightseeing. But the best part
00:01:14.800
really is going to be when we're at sea because that's when our special panel discussions happen,
00:01:19.140
speeches, special activities. And of course, we're all going to be having dinner together every single night
00:01:23.700
and we're going to be rotating through tables of special guests. So you might have me at your
00:01:28.680
dinner table one night, Ezra Levant at your dinner table the next night, and someone else the following
00:01:33.700
night. We're going to have some VIP guests here joining us on this cruise. So it's going to be a
00:01:38.380
really exciting time. Thanks, Kian. I think this is going to be really fun. Technically, Rebel and Juno
00:01:43.540
are competitors, but we have a lot in common in our belief in independent journalism and freedom of
00:01:49.000
speech. I think our viewers are absolutely going to love this trip to see the best of both
00:01:53.980
companies. And as I mentioned, it's a fundraiser for each of us too. So this cruise is going to be
00:01:58.940
taking place from November 28th to December 5th of this year, 2026, in the Eastern Caribbean,
00:02:04.040
departing from Fort Lauderdale and sailing aboard Holland America lines MS Eurodam. It's a beautiful
00:02:10.200
ship with great food, some awesome activities, and we're going to be visiting Grand Turk, San Juan,
00:02:16.100
St. Thomas, and a private beach island called Half Moon Cay. You can see all of the details at
00:02:22.400
thenewscruise.com. Thanks, Kian. This is the first time we're doing something like this,
00:02:28.080
bringing Juno News and Rebel News journalists and fans together in person and see for a full week
00:02:33.580
of conversation, learning, relaxation, and fun. So head on over to thenewscruise.com for the vacation
00:02:42.220
of a lifetime. That's thenewscruise.com. See you on the high seas.
