Ezra Levant pays tribute to the late Rex Murphy

[@janandd1]

A great patriot & national treasure...RIP...

[@richardhughes4622]

Rex Murphy was a genuine Canadian treasure who will be missed. Not many around like him anymore!

[@webleypug]

Watched a few tributes to Rex. Your's is the most eloquent.

[@dinkster1729]

I liked the one from CBC Newfoundland where a former classmate of his said that he earned $10 an academic paper when he would dash one off for a less endowed student and get him an A. Hey! That's my alma mater! Good ol' Memorial. What a rogue Rex Murphy was!

[@malcolmhamilton5200]

Great tribute. I was thoroughly enjoying Rex's collaborations with Jordon Petersen during their Trudeau evaluations. I never tired listening to them dissect Trudeau's endless shortcomings, social afflictions, conditions and complexes. They really nailed down what a terrible, terrible leader Trudeau really is. Who will now hold this Liberal economic imbecile of a Svengali to account, with Rex gone. Everyone must step forward and follow in Rex's footsteps to rid this nation of the worst leader to ever screw it up.

[@brianrapson9]

BINGO! You nailed it beautufully across the board. Thankyou!

Ezra, you were the first person I thought of when I heard the sad news. Rex Murphy will always be the most loved voice of Canada. Thank you Rex for your incredibly talented, special and loved voice. A part of Canada has been silenced. May he rest in peace and let Perpetual Light shine upon him. 🙏🙏🙏

[@jewelg.5354]

Great tribute to a wonderful Canadian in our Rex. Well done Ezra!

[@JimMacintosh]

I'm deeply saddened that Rex didn't live to see left wing authoritarianism defeated in Canada. He warned Canada against Trudeau long before he came to power, and fought like hell against him and his despicable supporters. Rest easy Rex!

[@GREATCANADIANDOG]

Thanks Sir Rex Murphy 🙏 for yours

[@scuffmacgillicutty7509]

Beautifully done Ezra. To think CBC does nothing right I must vehemently disagree. It's thanks to the CBC for introducing Rex Murphy, as it turned out, the Randall McMurphy of the CBC to the multitudes across this once proud Nation. What's left there is little more than a Cookoo's Nest. RIP Rex.

[@pharmerdavid1432]

Because he was controlled opposition from the beginning, get it? ?You don't get on CBC otherwise, and 'rebel news' is controlled too.

[@KStewart-th4sk]

Rosemary Barton front and center of the CBC Cookoo's Nest. Is their biased bs "At Issue" Panel still on? I quit watching their "flagship news" a long time ago. This taxpayer is sick of funding the pro-Liberal, free publicity department for the Liberal Party of Canada. DEFUND THE CBC, PRIVATIZE, SELL THEM OFF.

RIP Rex Murphy. There aren't many left. When they're all gone ( the old guatd ) and we Canadians don't support the younger ones who try to replace them we will find this country an empty husk of what it was and what it was left to us by better men to maintain.

Rex's J. Peterson episode was the best. He was a master like Alan Dershowitz at speaking to the common man, informative and entertaining. Cbc didn't do him justice. He really was a nice guy anyone who ran into him and said hello will always remember. Rex legacy stands tall.

What a wonderful tribute to a Canadian icon! Rex Murphy said it like it was! There will never be another but God help us, Rex would certainly want each and every one of us to “step up to bat” … we need to fight hard (like we have never before) to reclaim the Canada that Rex Murphy so loved!

[@chriswallace7770]

Rex Murphy will always exemplify the ideal of true and honest journalism that Justin so wants to eliminate.

[@jhelpj]

A great Canadian who used his intellect and the command of words to provoke people to think.

[@BruceHolding-cn1zh]

What a force for freedom of speech. He will be missed.

[@christophercharles3169]

If I happened to stumble across Rex speaking on television I never once changed the channel or left my seat. His words were both riveting and compelling. I held nothing but respect for the man. May he rest in peace.

I seen a has-been tv reporter saying Rex became a right-wing journalist towards the end of his life…….I think that Rex stayed a proper journalists and leaned towards being Canadian.

[@lalonguecarabine4952]

My dear Ezra, what an incredible explanation of the times in the gospels that many denounce, when the Master used inflammatory language such as calling (metaphorically AND indirectly) the Samaritan woman a "dog". Now as for Rex I'm pretty sure it was just him being a Neufie.

[@davidwallace8353]

Having experienced stomach cancer I understand what Rex went through. It is what it is. I will miss him as long as I live.

[@dinkster1729]

Dear Ezra! You, Mainlander, you! As a former room-mate of mine out by High Park said to me about a fellow telephone operator 50 years ago, "One of our operators is from Newfoundland and she is a really nice girl, but, you know, I have noticed that she swears a lot. LOLOL! Most Newfoundlanders may not have read the OED, but they certainly have an incredible knowledge of profanity. I imagine you know that you can subscribe to the OED on line, right? Go for it. I have the microprint edition and I consult it regularly with my handy dandy magnifiying glass that comes with it. Another great book is Dr George Story's and others, "Dictionary of Newfoundland English". Did Rex consult that, too?

[@Boa_Omega]

I remember Rex the one bright spot at the Commie Broadcasting cr*p network. A fine journalist and gentleman of the old school l. A gentleman who earned his reputation as a neutral presenter of information and deep questions of morality, ethics and standards regarding the politicians and their actions. He shall be missed. God keep you safe in paradise Sir.

Rex was also very humorous. Even when he was quite serious about a topic he could craft his barbs in a way that made the person or topic look quite foolish. He seemed to lean to the left but by the time he left the CBC his old "friends" began to call him "far right" whatever the hell that means.

[@rickmars8581]

Did not care for Murphy in the least. Still, RIP.

[@verar5844]

rickmars8581: I agreed with many of his opinions when he talked/wrote about Canadian affairs - he knew the facts, and he spoke from his heart, a true Canadian who deeply cared about his country. In international affairs and events, though, he really showed too little knowledge to make himself competent enough to form informed opinions. Case in point was his opinion about Putin or, as he pronounced the name, Pew-tin. He never cared to learn the correct pronunciation, and he never cared to go beyond the mass-media biased two-dimensional half-truths. In one of his CBC videos he called Putin a dictator, compared him to ISIS, and said that those two were the greatest threats in the world. In another one he compared Putin to Obama whom he disliked - an invalid comparison. He knew so little about the history of Russia, Russians, Ukraine (which he called a sovereign country). As a Russian-Canadian, I felt offended by his cliched and ridiculous opinions and his pompous manner of expressing them. So, this is my ranting obituary, Rex. RIP.

[@russellnorton9940]

he was my heroe

[@KStewart-th4sk]

There were a few lefties show up on tributes to Rex (MSN linked stories) taking pot shots at Rex Murphy on his passing. Some others and i left them an appropriate response. Like their leader Trudeau, not an ethical bone in their bodies. No one could match Rex in words or turn of phrase. At least CBC's ex-anchor, Peter Mansbridge, wrote a glowing tribute to Rex. That didn't go over well with a few of the Liberal sycophants, two of whom had to bash Rex multiple times throughout the comments on MSN. MSN, where censorship is valued when it's conservatives trying to comment. RIP Rex. Defund the CBC, a shadow of itself after journalists of Rex's caliber left. Like the joke Rosemary Barton, Mansbridge would fawn over Justin Trudeau too.
