Summary
EGAL wants Fox News gone in Canada, and they have a good reason. They're concerned that Tucker Carlson's anti-Transphobic rant about the LGBTQ+ community is inciting hatred and violence in the public square, and the police aren't going to do anything about it.
Transcript
00:00:18.420
Well, there's at least one activist group that wants this to happen, and you won't believe
00:00:28.500
I'm David Menzies, and this is The Ezra Levent Show.
00:00:52.360
An organization called EGAL, which stands for Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere.
00:01:03.820
By the way, just how inclusive is EGAL when they don't even include T for trans in their
00:01:10.320
Because we know EGAL is down with the radical transgender revolution, by the way.
00:01:20.260
Yet again, another drag queen reading a book to elementary school children.
00:01:28.860
Instead of the Canadian Radio, Television and Telecommunications Commission telling EGAL
00:01:34.300
to take a long walk off a short pier regarding its frivolous complaint, the bureaucrats at Canada's
00:01:41.940
version of the Ministry of Truth are actually entertaining this complaint.
00:01:46.960
Yes, the CRTC is going forward with hearings to see if an American news channel should be expunged
00:01:55.360
from Canadian airwaves due to certain members in the spirit unicorn community suffering from,
00:02:04.940
The crux of the matter pertains to former Fox host Tucker Carlson moosing about the way
00:02:10.520
in which members of the Alphabet Soup community act out violently in the public square,
00:02:26.180
Yeah, that six foot four bearded dude currently identifying as Tinkerbell.
00:02:31.040
Yeah, he might look like Herman Munster in a miniskirt, but Tinkerbell has feelings,
00:02:35.980
don't you know, and must be protected from wrong thought, even if he might be mentally ill.
00:02:43.380
In any event, here's an excerpt of EGAL's statement regarding Tucker's oratory, quote,
00:02:49.040
The coverage aimed to provoke hatred and violence against 2SLGBTQI communities,
00:02:58.200
particularly those who are two-spirit, trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming,
00:03:11.160
EGAL also provided examples ranging from the inflammatory, i.e. that the, quote,
00:03:17.860
trans movement is targeting Christians, end quote,
00:03:20.940
to the factual, quote, that trans people are given preferential treatment, end quote.
00:03:29.780
The ugly, unvarnished truth of the matter is that Tucker is right.
00:03:35.760
Trans people and their allies, typically Antifa wannabes,
00:03:40.140
who now drape themselves in the pink and baby blue colors of the trans flag,
00:03:45.280
well, they often self-identify as violent thugs.
00:03:49.020
And I'm sorry to say they do receive preferential treatment from members of law enforcement
00:03:55.060
because trans folks are not worthy of equal rights, but rather of extra special rights.
00:04:07.280
And he speaks out against the heinous practice of gender transition for children.
00:04:13.440
Chris is frequently attacked by the Love Trumps Hate Rainbow Coalition.
00:04:18.660
In fact, several months ago in Montreal, Chris had his arm broken.
00:04:22.000
The police response, well, the Montreal coppers were too busy enforcing masking laws
00:04:27.760
or shutting down the practice of journalism or something.
00:04:31.060
Yeah, they had no time nor inclination to do something about actual real and violent crime.
00:04:37.460
That might actually take a little more effort than, you know, biting into a chocolate eclair.
00:04:42.680
More recently, billboard Chris was physically assaulted in Vancouver in late March.
00:04:47.940
It was caught on film, and it was eyewitnessed by police.
00:04:52.580
Why do you think they're getting that kind of representation?
00:04:55.780
I mean, it clearly was aggressive violent assault.
00:05:06.860
I guess these police officers are mostly indoctrinated as well.
00:05:13.760
I think they're afraid that if they do anything to actually keep law and order,
00:05:18.420
that they'll end up being on the end of this verbal abuse.
00:05:24.200
So it's just cowardice from everybody all around.
00:05:27.460
People probably want to know, how do you keep your composure?
00:05:55.280
Okay then, as I said, video evidence and eyewitness accounts.
00:06:07.580
Indeed, check out the outrageous conduct of Vancouver police officer, Frederica Buckman.
00:06:17.320
You doing your job and finding a guy who assaulted me is inciting violence.
00:06:22.880
So you're going to do nothing so that that person can go home and then nothing will come of this, correct?
00:06:32.460
So when are we going to go find this person who assaulted me?
00:06:38.560
Arrest them like a police officer is supposed to do?
00:06:50.600
And then you're going to go home and then you're going to say, well, what am I supposed to do?
00:07:13.420
To allow violent criminals to assault people who don't think that children should be getting sterilized?
00:07:18.800
Then more footage shows Buckman cowering away and smiling with glee while Chris was mobbed and thrown to the ground by more trans activists right in front of her face.
00:07:32.320
Yep, nothing to see here, folks, except that goofy smile from Officer Buckman, yet another diversity hire disaster for the VPD.
00:07:42.360
Someone wholly incapable of performing her duties and upholding her oath due to another oath she has presumably taken vis-a-vis political correctness and wokeism.
00:07:54.780
But then again, maybe it might be harsh to single-handedly blame Buckman for her actions or, as the case may be, inactions.
00:08:04.620
Last month, a Toronto police officer leaked to us the transgender training Toronto cops are forced to endure these days thanks to an edict from the Ontario Human Rights Commission based on one complaint from a trans-something.
00:08:22.960
It's a message from none other than the former interim Toronto police chief, James Reimer.
00:08:29.180
He displays all the enthusiasm of a man marching to the gallows as he explains what led to this torturous transgender training,
00:08:38.520
something that has little to do with law enforcement and everything to do with wokeness and political correctness and virtue signalling.
00:08:47.680
Welcome to the Diversity and Trans Inclusion module, an essential part of the Toronto Police Service's GDTI Inclusion Initiative.
00:08:55.300
The training you are about to undergo reflects our commitment to strengthening our relationship with the trans and gender-diverse communities in Toronto
00:09:03.760
and to making TPS a safe and inclusive workplace for our trans and non-binary employees.
00:09:10.360
In 2015, Boyd Kodak, a trans man, filed a human rights complaint after being discriminated against by both TPS and the Ministry of Community, Safety and Correctional Services.
00:09:22.180
Following his arrest, Mr. Kodak was placed in the woman's sections of both police and correctional facilities.
00:09:34.440
She had her gender-affirming articles confiscated?
00:09:40.840
Sorry, but when one is being incarcerated, that standard procedure, when one is placed in a prison cell, you surrender your shoelaces, your necktie, wristwatch, cell phone, you name it.
00:09:53.020
But apparently a dildo is a gender-affirming article?
00:09:58.780
It's most likely a phallic-shaped piece of plastic made in China.
00:10:03.360
And in theory, it's something that could definitely be weaponized.
00:10:08.260
Ah, but because the owner of the dildo is a transgendered humanoid, well, never mind.
00:10:14.760
The former intern chief continues his pep talk and he, as he no doubt ponders, why he ever chose a career in law enforcement in the first place.
00:10:24.540
In 2016, Mr. Kodak, the Ontario Human Rights Commission, and the Toronto Police Services Board reached a settlement requiring TPS to take major steps to address the treatment of trans people in custody.
00:10:38.660
This case, Waterman v. the Toronto Police Services Board and the Missing Persons Report have served as catalysts for change.
00:10:47.180
TPS must do the necessary work to build bridges and restore trust with members of our vulnerable communities.
00:10:56.760
Reimer then goes on and on and on, forced to do so by the non-elected and unaccountable Ontario Human Rights Commission.
00:11:05.520
But at the end of the day, the Toronto Police Trans Training and I bet several other police forces in our Great Dominion,
00:11:15.100
It all boils down to a three-part lesson going forward.
00:11:24.280
Number two, transgender people should be treated in a special way because, well, these are special people.
00:11:30.940
And number three, if anyone has a problem with the transgender agenda,
00:11:35.840
then you are insensitive at best and a hateful transphobe at worst,
00:11:40.840
and you need to be re-educated or even punished.
00:11:45.800
In any event, EGAL's position seems to be this.
00:11:49.760
The Toronto Police Service and other law enforcement agencies have gotten with the program,
00:11:58.380
So the solution is simple, off with their heads.
00:12:02.900
Fox News must be banished from the Canadian airwaves because this vile news network, it's dangerous, you see.
00:12:13.860
Indeed, at the end of the day, censorship being carried out by the blackface regime and its lapdogs,
00:12:21.000
be it bureaucracy such as the CRTC or the trained SEALs in the mainstream media.
00:12:27.120
Well, such censorship, it's not an act of oppression or suppression, but rather it's an act of kindness.
00:12:35.800
It's all about sanitizing things, you know, for our own protection.
00:12:41.620
But EGAL is dead wrong regarding its journalistic jihad for several reasons.
00:12:48.980
Firstly, there are already existing laws in the Criminal Code of Canada when it comes to defamation, libel, and slander.
00:13:01.560
Yet they know that nothing Tucker Carlson has ever said on this file meets the benchmark of defamation, libel, or slander.
00:13:10.620
They have on their hands what's known in the legal profession as a shite case,
00:13:18.980
So their plan B is to circumvent that whole messy legal process.
00:13:24.520
Just go to the broadcast version of Big Brother.
00:13:27.720
Let's get the CRTC to deliver a papal bull-like command to banish filthy Fox News from the airwaves.
00:13:35.320
EGAL is trying to take a shortcut by pleading their case before a bureaucrat as opposed to a judge.
00:13:42.280
Because all they have is a nothing burger with fries.
00:13:47.820
Secondly, here's another reason this mission is an outrage.
00:13:52.220
Fox News is not on one's basic cable package to begin with.
00:13:56.660
A cable subscriber has to actually request Fox News.
00:14:00.480
That, of course, means the consumer desires the content and is willing to pay cash money for it.
00:14:07.520
So if you are of the belief that Fox News is the TV equivalent of Satan's waiting room,
00:14:13.900
well, one need only vote with his or her wallet and not subscribe.
00:14:22.120
Ah, but then again, when it comes to the blackface regime,
00:14:25.460
as we have seen with the recent passage of the censorious Bill C-11,
00:14:30.680
blackface has no intention to treat adults as adults,
00:14:35.120
especially those adults with contrarian opinions.
00:14:39.240
So it is that the bailiwick of blackface is to eradicate the airwaves and the internet
00:14:53.520
well, he knows what's best for all of us, after all.
00:14:57.340
So it is that the presence of Fox News on Canadian airwaves
00:15:05.300
No fix is necessary because absolutely nothing is broken.
00:15:13.700
Suddenly, this irrelevant bureaucracy is becoming far more relevant
00:15:18.240
and far more scary every day thanks to the empowerment given to it
00:15:23.820
by the censorious thugs who comprise the blackface Liberals.
00:15:28.560
Once upon a time, the ostensible policy reason for the CRTC
00:15:35.300
The idea was that little Canada shared a border
00:15:42.580
How could Canucks in the music and TV and movie industries
00:15:49.300
without a little government assistance vis-a-vis Canadian content rules,
00:15:54.800
especially given that American TV signals seamlessly crossed over
00:16:00.360
while virtually 100% of the movies being screened in Canadian theatres
00:16:08.140
So it was the very rationale for the existence of the CRTC
00:16:13.140
was to lend a helping hand to Canadian musicians and film and TV actors.
00:16:25.920
And yes, folks, I speak from bitter experience.
00:16:29.540
For example, several staffers here at Rebel News,
00:16:32.160
including the big boss man himself, Ezra Levant,
00:16:36.380
well, we're refugees from the Sun News Network.
00:16:39.280
In February of 2015, the CRTC assassinated Sun News.
00:16:49.280
that so many other Canadian specialty channels had.
00:16:59.660
And really, when it comes to the so-called CanCon rules,
00:17:07.320
Meanwhile, Sun News was owned by a Quebec-based company, Quebecor.
00:17:12.160
The head office and main studios were based in Toronto.
00:17:15.840
There were Sun News bureaus from coast to coast.
00:17:19.200
More than 200 Canadians were employed at Sun News,
00:17:22.340
telling Canadian stories to a Canadian audience.
00:17:35.160
The CRTC pubas, like modern-day Caesars at the Roman Coliseum,
00:18:13.780
And here's why I truly worry about the future of Fox News.
00:18:26.180
without even the pretense of public hearings on the matter.
00:18:30.620
Now, maybe you look upon RT as state-sponsored propaganda
00:18:36.680
or maybe you look upon RT as an alternate source of information.
00:18:54.160
they are the self-proclaimed adults in the room.
00:19:01.040
to vaporize RT without so much as a cursory debate.
00:19:09.120
via this whiz-bang thingy called the World Wide Web.
00:19:26.980
And the nuclear bomb in their war chest is censorship.
00:19:31.620
Even when the so-called hatred is not hatred at all,
00:19:36.060
as is the most recent case with EGAL's idiotic claims
00:19:40.580
that Fox News is transphobic, whatever that means.
00:19:52.360
the first casualty of war, as always, is the truth.
00:20:10.960
when former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau
00:20:43.020
And Franco, you've done it again, your organization.
00:21:42.140
Now, you know, when parents tell their children
00:22:58.720
I mean, look what Canadians are dealing with right now.
00:23:01.940
Inflation, interest rates going through the roof,
00:23:04.900
this continual attack on our freedoms via censorship.
00:23:14.280
no, we got to get this senior sex story initiative going.
00:23:32.780
Maybe the government gives it a break on the sex shows
00:24:03.460
Yeah, no, I guess you're an old-fashioned square then, Franco.
00:24:14.380
as they say, the bottom line is the bottom line.
00:24:34.880
I can't believe I have to say that out loud with my mouth,
00:26:07.040
You know, I made a little bit of a joke earlier,
00:26:25.220
Let's look about just the debt servicing costs.
