It's been six years in the making. That's six years, six long years, and the end result indicates the planet is a whole lot more insane when it comes to transgenderism in 2023 than it was in 2017.
00:08:37.820He's not even trying to look like a female.
00:08:40.820Who does he think he is, Ash, a.k.a. Tommy Davis?
00:08:44.820That's that male rugby player who plays for the Fergus Highlanders women's rugby team?
00:08:50.820I mean, say what you will about Kerry Look Lemieux, the Oakville Trafalgar High School shop school teacher who is likely suffering from autogenophilia.
00:09:01.820But at least Busty Lemieux makes an effort to look female, albeit a grotesque caricature of a female.
00:09:10.820I mean, Busty Lemieux straps on a set of Zed Cup fake boobs and dons a blonde wig and applies copious quantities of makeup to his face so that at least he will appear to be female.
00:09:31.820But here's the deal with Mr. Detremont.
00:09:34.820In April, Cuddly Cody was charged with sexual assault by Windsor police after he allegedly preyed upon a real female at the woman's shelter.
00:09:49.820But to show you the level of trans sanity out there, even after his arrest, the young female staff at the shelter still are on Team Trans Cody.
00:10:01.820And insensitive queries about trans people, well, those are strictly verboten.
00:15:39.820I have a feeling that if I replicated this stunt at next month's pet expo cat show,
00:15:45.820things would be a whole lot different.
00:15:49.820I don't think I'd be treated like a patient who just escaped from Arkham Asylum, but rather I'd be looked upon as a sensitive individual who is merely conveying his inner cat.
00:16:03.820And I think if security were to frog march me out the building like they did back in 2017,
00:16:09.820well, I would have reasonable grounds for an Ontario Human Rights Commission complaint.
00:16:15.820And me thinks after the tribunal heard my case, this cat would be walking out of that fake courtroom with a real six-figure check.
00:16:26.820Alas, what was once considered to be mental illness is now looked upon as diversity, equity, and inclusion.
00:16:35.820And if you, Mr. and Mrs. Law-abiding Normal Canadian, have a problem with that,
00:16:42.820well, it is you that shall be dispatched to a mental health institution.
00:16:48.820You know, for some reprogramming, it's for your own good, you understand.
00:16:55.820Yeah, I know. Talk about the tail wagging the dog.
00:17:07.820Well, folks, perhaps all of us, when we were younger and dumber, as the saying goes,
00:17:13.820well, we've done some really boneheaded things, perhaps even doing things that resulted in a criminal charge.
00:17:20.820But these days, law enforcement and the justice system, they've become increasingly politicized.
00:17:28.820Case in point, my guest is the father of a 15-year-old boy.
00:17:32.820In June, this boy, along with his friend, were horsing around in East End Toronto.
00:17:40.820They ended up stealing an item and they vandalized it.
00:19:50.820The one thing that I didn't agree with was a police officer who spoke with me and said that the young boy who took the flag had been charged with a hate crime.
00:20:52.820But boys being boys, stealing a flag, even burning a flag, isn't the same thing.
00:21:00.820These are just boys that want to tweak their noses at what they see to be authority.
00:21:06.820And in this case, the authority are the folks that are pushing pride.
00:21:10.820And I want you to know, even though I am from a country steeped in tyranny, growing up my best friend was a gay man.
00:21:18.820He was very nervous about letting me know that he was gay.
00:21:21.820Because I came from a country where that was historically not tolerated very well.
00:21:26.820When he finally told me, he said, I thought you were going to hate me.
00:21:29.820He said, no, man, you're a brother to me. I love you. It's, you know, you're gay. I'm straight. It's all good.
00:21:36.820Live and let live used to be the order of the day.
00:21:40.820I was in my 20s attending pride parades back in the days when it was just, you know, one day on the weekend and all sorts of things.
00:21:50.820You know, I have been somebody who has had gay people around him in his life and has treated them no different than I treat anybody else.
00:21:59.820Someone's sexual orientation, in my opinion, is none of my business.
00:22:02.820It's their business, just like my sexual orientation is none of your business. It's my business.
00:22:06.820As long as we're doing this with consenting adults, no one's getting hurt. There's not a problem.
00:22:11.820And I can tell you that my friend, who's unfortunately passed away right now, he would be appalled at what's being done to these young boys. Appalled.
00:22:21.820You know, John, that is interesting. You've said a lot that, you know, we need to unpack here.
00:22:28.820First of all, I agree, you know, the crimes, as far as I can tell, it was theft. It was destruction of property.
00:22:35.820And yes, there should be consequences. And we know because these boys are young offenders, you know, the consequences will not be all that severe.
00:22:45.820But when you introduce this element of a hate crime, you see, I thought basically the scope of a hate crime is if you went after somebody for their ethnicity,
00:22:57.820their religion, their sexual orientation, you know, if you advocated harm to them or actually carried out harm to them for those reasons.
00:23:07.820Yeah, I get it. It's hateful. It's a hate crime. But as I said in the intro, John, this was an inanimate object.
00:23:16.820It's easily replaceable. There can be compensation paid. Why is it that this meets the benchmark of a hate crime to begin with?
00:23:30.820I can only speculate as to why that is. But based on what the police officer said, that there was a lot of pressure from up on high in the police department for them to make an arrest.
00:23:42.820We didn't come out and say, you know, who the up on high pressure was. And it would be speculation on my part, but that would be at the highest levels of the police department.
00:23:53.820And he also stated that that pressure came from the highest levels of the police department because they in turn were pressured by the highest levels of government politicians telling them to come down hard on these types of quote unquote hate crimes.
00:24:14.000You know, John, I find this absolutely astonishing because if you look at what we are dealing with in so many major cities in this country, it's a direct result of the Justin Trudeau laissez-faire attitude to crime and punishment.
00:24:33.040You have people who have been charged with attempted murder out on parole, violating routinely their bail conditions.
00:24:42.380These are bad dudes causing real harm. And you're telling me the political class and I guess the brass at the Toronto Police Service, they were hot to trot on this because this was a pride flag.
00:24:57.800Again, an inanimate object. And yes, it shouldn't have been stolen. It shouldn't have been destroyed, but it looks like they are using a bazooka to kill a fly.
00:25:08.180Yes, 1,000%. And I want to say something this way. And again, this is pure speculation on my part. But the boys in question are not what you would call Canadian born white children.
00:25:26.560They are the children of immigrants, all right? And they're boys. And for the political leadership of the city of Toronto, who's in charge of the police department, to say that they're going to get the police to come down hard on these boys, smacks of racial bias on the part of the political leadership.
00:25:51.160And in particular, the mayor, Olivia Chow. It is my opinion that Olivia Chow is a holier than thou person who points one finger out screaming racist, bad, evil.
00:26:03.780She's doing this with the attempting to rename Dundas Street, which was named after Henry Dundas, a noted abolitionist.
00:26:12.160And she is claiming he's a racist. And three fingers are pointing back at her. And she is the one, in my opinion, by calling a man who was an abolitionist or racist to showing her own racial bias for a man who defended black people in a time where there was real cost to that shows that she has some racial bias toward people that aren't of the same background as her to me.
00:26:37.780And progressives have always been the true racists. I believe progressivism itself is a racist ideology.
00:26:45.040And right now, all they're doing is they're hiding it. The way that they're hiding it is they're using Saul Alinsky's methodology, which is to scream and yell and say, no, it's you, when it truly is them.
00:26:54.740There is racism in their heart. There's racism in the heart of progressives all over the place.
00:27:00.600And I personally, even though I'm doing it on the shield of anonymity here, and I appreciate that, call out Mayor Olivia Chow for her racism and going after boys of color and attributing motives to them that they don't have.
00:27:13.320They're just trying to be boys proving their own manhood, which boys have done along the way.
00:27:20.280And I'm not saying it was the right thing to do or a good thing to do.
00:27:23.540But to equate this with somebody going and finding a gay man and beating them half to death because they're gay is appalling.
00:27:32.220It's absolutely appalling. This woman ought to be ashamed and embarrassed of herself.
00:27:36.300And who put this on boys, young boys of color from Middle Eastern cultures, where the attitudes, let's be honest, there are not the same as the attitudes of people who've lived here for generations and leaving no time for assimilation, no time for understanding, shows to me that Olivia Chow is part of the problem and not part of the solution.
00:27:58.220Her late husband, Jack Layton, is a man who I never necessarily agreed with.
00:28:02.640But I'll tell you this, before he died, he touched my heart because he obviously cared about this country very deeply.
00:28:09.700And he obviously, even though I believe he was mistaken in many of his policy prescriptions, had a message of unity for people.
00:28:53.640And by that I mean, if you are, say, a white, able-bodied, Christian male, that's maybe a seven of clubs, right?
00:29:04.020But if you are a minority, if you are a person of color, if you are disabled, and on and on it goes, suddenly you become a pair, a full house, a royal flush.
00:29:20.680And I think what we see here right now when it comes to the pinnacle of the human rights pyramid, basically the beloved group of the day right now is the LGBT community.
00:29:43.000And therefore, because that was a rainbow flag that was stolen and burned, as opposed to, say, a Canadian flag, that's why the powers that be want to make an example out of these kids.
00:30:04.780It's virtue signaling that it's the very worst.
00:30:07.120It has nothing to do with teaching these young boys how to become better boys, better men, which is what our political leaders should be trying to do.
00:30:16.240And, John, tell me, where does this stand right now?
00:30:19.400I guess eventually it'll go to some kind of trial.
00:30:22.380I guess the lucky thing for these kids is that they are under 18.
00:30:28.140It's not the same kind of a penalty that would apply to those that are the age of majority.
00:30:33.860But what is the potential penalty if, for example, this boy is committed or, sorry, convicted of committing a hate crime, which, as far as I can tell, is really just theft and property damage?
00:30:51.720I can't answer that question because I'm not an expert on the niceties of the law.
00:30:55.960But if you bring on an attorney, I'm sure they'll be able to give you a deeper, fuller answer.
00:31:02.940But I can tell you that just based on a cursory understanding of hate crime law, there are deeper penalties associated with a crime if it's considered a hate crime than if it were not considered a hate crime.
00:31:18.820So, for example, if you just beat somebody up and broke their jaw, you might go to prison for six months.
00:31:25.040But if you broke their jaw because you didn't like them because of their ethnicity or their sexual orientation, that could add one, two, three, five years to the prison sentence.
00:31:33.140So, it definitely is an accelerator of the punishment.
00:31:38.940But how much it is, I can't speak to that.
00:31:41.340And, John, can you tell me a little bit about the mindset of this boy that burned the flag and of your own son in light of the police getting involved the way they did?
00:32:07.720For my son, at the time, it was very salutary.
00:32:11.220I had a chat with him and said, A, burning property and damaging property is always wrong.
00:32:17.040And I also sat down with him and said to him, listen, you're living in a time where if you take action against somebody and it's perceived that it's done for, you know,
00:32:28.000bias reasons, whether you meant it or not, the consequences to you can be potentially horrific.
00:32:34.620So, you need to be like Caesar's wife, above suspicion.
00:35:29.100We live in Canada, the greatest nation on the face of the planet.
00:35:38.680This is a country where the people truly have love in their hearts for one another.
00:35:44.320I do not experience racism on a day-to-day basis, and I'm obviously not a man born here.
00:35:50.320And most people just want to have a sense that their lives are working, that they can create enough income and a future for themselves and those that they love.
00:36:03.240And they want to have something to feel proud of, and they've always felt proud of being Canadian, of our tolerant nature, of the fact that we're really amazing at hockey, and things like that.
00:36:14.940That's what I see day-to-day around me.
00:36:16.960So I have hope because the Canadian people are good and just.
00:36:21.980But I'm telling you, our politicians are rotten to the core, to the core.
00:36:26.840And we all need to wake up, and when some of them behave in a fashion that's designed to divide us, that's designed to cause harm to people,
00:36:38.500and then they get up and they scream at everybody else and call them racist,
00:36:41.700we need to stand up against that in the strongest possible terms.
00:36:47.340And those who yell racist the loudest are themselves the deepest, most committed bigots on the face of the planet,
00:36:53.900and those are the ones that we must never allow on your power ever again.
00:36:58.220John, thank you so much for your time.
00:37:00.920And please reach out to us if you find out about any further developments regarding the court cases that are about to emerge.
00:37:21.980Well, folks, lots of feedback to the last time I hosted the Ezra Levin show regarding my monologue on continued transanity on the rugby field,
00:37:32.460and my interview with Franco Teresano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation pertaining to those tax on taxes that we pay every time we gas up the car.
00:37:48.900We knew decades ago that recycling, paper replaced by plastic slash paper being recycled until it is grey in colour, would lead to sick forests.
00:38:00.900Trees must be cut in order to rejuvenate forests.
00:38:04.840By disallowing trees to be cut, lumbering, and allowing paper companies to manage healthy forests,
00:38:11.920we've created a perfect fuel source for forest fires.
