The Rebel Media, a far-right Canadian media platform popular among so-called ‘alt-right’ followers, has launched Rebel Edge, a new channel that includes a number of British contributors.

The pair’s recent video for Rebel Media about the Westminster terrorist attack was the most viewed video concerning events in the whole of the UK. Lennon’s links with Rebel Media goes back some time, having appeared on founder Ezra Levant’s show in January 2016.
The new channel also includes content from Faith Goldy who also has her own show called ‘On the Hunt’, a political science student Jay Fayza and Gavin McInnes, co-founder of Vice Media and the western chauvinist fraternal organisation ‘ProudBoys’.
Recently, both Lennon and Roberston dined with Rebel Media founder Ezra Levant, and glamour model turned anti-Muslim right-wing commentator, Holly Henderson. According to her Twitter account she is currently filming with Robertson for Rebel Media.
