Sun News' Three Stars

Adler, Levant, and Lilley: These three pundits are the most likely sources for controversial comments from the nascent network. Gentlemen, we bid you welcome.

Whether you see Sun News Network as the second coming of Fox News or a much-needed shot of adrenalin for cable news, here's a glance at three of the pundit personalities you'll get to know – whether you like it or not:

Brian Lilley: Senior Correspondent for Sun Media's National Bureau, Host of Byline with Brian Lilley

Bio: Lilley has a decade of experience with politicos of all stripes on Parliament Hill, and provides a unique voice as one of the Hill's most conservative commentators. An excessive user of rhetorical question marks, Lilley's grinded his share of axes over the press gallery's alleged biases.

On the Liberals' foreign policy: “Under [Michael] Ignatieff’s plan, Canada’s soldiers could only be used if members of the [UN] security council agreed ... Do we want to give Moscow and Beijing more control over our military than we give our elected officials in Ottawa?”

Ezra Levant: Conservative Activist, Lawyer, Author, Host of The Source

Bio: The publisher of the now-defunct Western Standard, Levant has termed himself a defender of freedom due to his single-minded (and occasionally worthy) campaign to bring down Canada's human-rights tribunals. He's a loud, proud Albertan who all but guarantees to cause controversy with his new airtime.

On the Liberal platform: "Increased corporate taxes, increased oil sands taxes, oil sands tanker bans, more oil sands regulations and a complete halt to Arctic exploration ... It’s the old Liberal motto: Screw the West, and we’ll take the rest."

Charles Adler: King of Canadian Talk Radio, Host of Adler

Bio: Adler is the undisputed voice of conservative talk radio in Canada. Since signing a deal with Corus Radio in 2004, his populist sermons have been broadcast in 14 major markets across the country. Adler's unrelenting criticism of Michael Ignatieff should at least make for entertaining television for the last two weeks of the election campaign.

On Michael Ignatieff's attendance: "He was trying to beef up his brand with bus tours and his first visits to those quaint little stores with pedestrian coffee and those greasy little things with the holes in the middle that would never be served at the Ignatieff villa in the south of France."
