Summary

You'll never guess who's the group in society facing the fastest-growing number of hate crimes in Canada? It's the most hate-crime-ridden group in the country, and it's also the group with the highest number of confirmed and suspected hate crimes. We'll take you through the latest stats, and then we'll talk about a heated exchange of words with a transgender woman at the Ottawa school board.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Interesting show today, I think, if I may say so. First, I'm going to take you
00:00:04.500 through new reports of hate crimes by race and religion in Canada. I do not think you will guess,
00:00:11.700 I don't know if you can guess, who the most hate-crimed group in the country is. I'll take
00:00:18.340 you through the latest stats, and then we'll talk about a transgender rumble, a bit of a
00:00:24.540 push-and-shove at the Ottawa School Board yesterday. We'll show you some video, too,
00:00:30.100 and talk to a reporter who was on the scene. That's a ad. But first, let me invite you to

00:00:49.600 here's today's show.
00:00:54.540 Tonight, you'll never guess the group in society facing the fastest-growing number
00:01:09.760 of hate crimes. It's March 29th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:13.600 He's ready for freedom! Shame on you, you censorious bug!
00:01:24.540 What is a hate crime? Do you actually know? I think it's tough to say, really. I think a lot
00:01:33.880 of criminals have hate in their heart when they commit a crime. I suppose hate and rage are not
00:01:39.180 exactly the same thing, but they're close. We generally don't criminalize emotions or feelings.
00:01:45.240 We criminalize violent expressions of emotions or feelings. Part of being a grown-up in control of
00:01:51.480 yourself is to take your negative feelings and control them and maybe even transform them
00:01:56.600 into something positive. There's no human being who does not occasionally hate something or hate
00:02:03.120 someone. If you never feel that feeling, you might actually have a personality disorder, I think.
00:02:09.800 It's unnatural never to feel bad feelings. So how can hate be a crime? Well, I think it's often a
00:02:16.500 political decision, don't you think? The female-to-male transgender murderer who shot six people
00:02:24.260 in a Tennessee church school on Monday was clearly motivated by hate. Police said she wrote a manifesto
00:02:31.740 to that effect, but then they later said they weren't going to release that manifesto. Oh, and now the
00:02:37.780 media are saying her motives are unknown. Here's a headline by Reuters. Former Christian school student
00:02:46.420 kills three children, three staff in Nashville shooting. Oh, got it. So the key identity, the most salient
00:02:52.700 characteristic of the murderer was that she, the murderer, was Christian. It makes it sound like she was a
00:02:58.680 Christian terrorist, not an anti-Christian terrorist, which she was. So I guess it's official. The media
00:03:06.300 says she is not a hate criminal. No, sir. But this guy, the guy being thrown out of the drag queen story
00:03:12.340 hour in Calgary a few weeks ago, he's a hate criminal.
00:03:15.400 No, sir. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. Okay. We don't have our
00:03:19.600 voice. We are now calling the police. Stop. Stop. We have the police coming. So it is your choice to leave or deal
00:03:31.640 with the police. Very abusive in there. We are going to. For love is love. So that's Pastor Derek Reimer. Of course, he's
00:03:37.760 being jailed, charged. They say they're looking at hate crime charges against him. He's a Christian
00:03:43.480 pastor who peacefully protests a drag queen story hour. He was physically attacked, but that's not a
00:03:49.920 crime, let alone a hate crime. Apparently his peaceful protest is the hate crime. You'll see in a
00:03:57.760 moment in our interview today of how other peaceful protesters at the Ottawa school board were attacked
00:04:03.720 by transgender extremists. No arrest for them, of course. So what is a hate crime? Well, according
00:04:11.280 to this Statistics Canada poster just published last week, it is, quote, both confirmed and suspected
00:04:18.140 hate crime incidents, which doesn't really narrow it down, does it? In fact, it sort of expands it.
00:04:25.340 A suspected hate crime incident. Because so many suspected hate crimes turn out to be hoaxes, don't they?
00:04:31.520 And of course, just because you report something to police doesn't mean they're going to prosecute
00:04:35.200 them, convict them. So this is a really inflated number, which makes sense because there is a huge
00:04:42.120 industry based on there being hate crimes. But since supply exceeds demand, so many are just made up to
00:04:48.820 justify a media narrative, to justify a budget, to justify demonizing people as haters when they all, they
00:04:55.040 are really, are political contrarians or critics of Trudeau. Trudeau calls people haters all the time.
00:05:01.320 Have you noticed?
00:05:02.360 Mais il y a aussi des gens qui sont farouchement opposés à la vaccination.
00:05:05.940 Qui sont extrémistes.
00:05:06.940 Qui croient pas dans la science, qui sont souvent misogynes, qui sont souvent racistes aussi.
00:05:11.640 But you know, individual people can get famous by claiming they were hate crime victims.
00:05:17.460 They get sympathy, they get money, they get attention. Look at this story in the authoritative
00:05:23.100 Wall Street Journal. Hate crime hoaxes are more common than you think.
00:05:27.520 A political scientist found that fewer than one in three of 346 such allegations was genuine.
00:05:35.200 I'll skip ahead to an interesting section in the report.
00:05:38.120 The author's bigger concern, and rightly so, is the growing politicization of hate crimes,
00:05:42.500 especially when they are directed at underrepresented groups and regardless of
00:05:45.420 whether they in fact happened. The sad reality is that there is no shortage of individuals and
00:05:50.560 entities with a vested interest in exaggerating racial tensions in the U.S., from civil rights
00:05:55.500 organizations, to corporate diversity officers, to professors of race and gender studies.
00:05:59.820 These alleged incidents are invariably seized upon by politicians and activists looking to feed a
00:06:04.420 sacrosanct belief among liberals that discrimination and oppression are the main drivers of
00:06:09.420 inequality. Quote, in the mainstream media we hear almost constant talk about scary new forms of
00:06:14.620 racism, white privilege, cultural appropriation, and subtle bigotry. Mr. Riley writes, yet a huge
00:06:20.380 percentage of the horrific hate crimes cited as evidence of contemporary bigotry are fakes.
00:06:27.980 Absolutely. And even this poster is suspected hate crimes, not convicted. It makes sense. Trudeau
00:06:36.300 himself has poured tens of millions of dollars into the hate crime industry. What's so weird about it
00:06:41.500 is that he often hires haters to do it. It makes international news. Take a look at this.
00:06:48.140 Canada cuts anti-racism program after lead consultant's vile tweets service.
00:06:54.380 Laith Marouf tweeted a series of offensive anti-Semitic messages, spurring the federal government to cut
00:06:59.020 funding to the initiative. Seriously. Or this woman, who's even more recent.
00:07:04.460 El-Gawabi, not the right person for Islamophobia job.
00:07:07.360 Quebec solidaire. Amira El-Gawabi is another extremist who herself hates Quebec and she was
00:07:12.640 hired also by Trudeau to be an anti-hater. So weird. But let's ignore for now the definition
00:07:18.000 of a hate incident or hate crime and how hate is a human emotion, not a crime in itself. And
00:07:23.280 let's put aside the fact that a huge number of hate crimes are actually hoaxes. Sounds like a
00:07:27.520 vast majority are hoaxes. I put it to you that a great number are hoaxes or exaggerations,
00:07:34.720 but let's take it at face value. So who are the victims of this hate?
00:07:41.040 Well, that's the Statistics Canada poster that I mentioned a moment ago.
00:07:45.120 Here it is here. Infographic. Police reported hate crime in Canada, 2021. It was just released last
00:07:51.040 week, so it's the most current. So as you can see, the number of police reported hate crimes increased
00:07:57.160 27% in the second year of the pandemic, they say. I'm not sure what the pandemic has to do with it,
00:08:02.800 but I have an idea I'll tell you in a minute. Do you see those red dots? It looks like hate crimes
00:08:10.160 have actually skyrocketed under Justin Trudeau, up from 1,362 in Stephen Harper's last year to 3,360
00:08:19.120 in 2021. Yeah, I'm not sure what the pandemic has to do with it. I think it is more relevant that Trudeau
00:08:24.880 has tried his best to divide us based on race and gender and sexual orientation and everything else.
00:08:29.760 It's Trudeau, not the pandemic, to blame. He's divided us and attacked us and made it very lucrative
00:08:36.760 for people to be offended, hasn't he? If you look at the chart on the left, you see that hate crimes
00:08:41.960 against black people were actually down 5% in that year. And the number of hate crimes, that's the number
00:08:49.420 on the left-hand chart, and that's the actual number of reported hate crimes or suspected crimes,
00:08:55.020 I think it's actually sort of low. I find it encouraging. So for black people, the total
00:09:02.120 number in the entire country for the entire year was just over 600, real or suspected. Now,
00:09:08.500 I don't want any hate crimes, of course, or any other crimes. But in a country of 38 million people,
00:09:16.700 that's not even two a day in the whole country. It's not an epidemic, that's for sure. For indigenous
00:09:21.720 people, the grand total number looks like it is around 60. In the whole country, in the whole year,
00:09:27.720 again, I don't like any hate crimes, real or imagined, but I have to say those numbers sound,
00:09:33.260 they sound low to me, especially considering Trudeau talks about it nonstop. Look at the chart
00:09:39.600 on the right. That's by religion now. The first thing you'll notice is that the most hate-crimed group
00:09:45.280 in Canada is actually the Jews. Raw numbers, it's almost 500, which is, I think it's actually high,
00:09:51.660 given that Jews are not even 1% of the Canadian population. More Jews were targeted than any other
00:09:56.880 religion combined. There's almost 2 million black people in Canada. For comparison, there's just over
00:10:02.560 350,000 Jews, and they had almost the same number of reported hate crimes. In fact, as you can see,
00:10:08.640 Jewish hate crimes targeting Jews was up 47%. I wonder if Leith Maroof had a hand in that.
00:10:14.220 Now, hate crimes against Jews were the most numerous, and they grew, according to this,
00:10:19.660 by 47%. But look at who were the second most numerous, and whose numbers grew by a whopping
00:10:26.240 260%. Not Muslims. They were at just over 100 hate crimes. Again, I don't want any hate crimes against
00:10:37.240 anyone, even though there were some very famous hate crime hoaxes in the Muslim community. But look at
00:10:42.580 that Catholic number. Up 260% in one year, so much that their raw number vaulted them into second place.
00:10:50.880 And just for a moment, look at the far bottom of the chart. Hate crimes against sexual orientation
00:10:56.340 in 2021 were a grand total of 423. It was up, but neither in percentage terms nor in raw numbers
00:11:04.040 up as much as hate crimes against Catholics. Again, I don't know how many of these cases were real and
00:11:11.880 how many were hoaxes, but I do know that close to 100 churches in Canada were torched or vandalized
00:11:18.340 in some other way after Trudeau whipped up public anger against them, claiming that the churches were
00:11:24.240 to blame for crimes against indigenous people. Gerald Butts even tweeted his support of the church
00:11:29.640 torching, or at least that he found them understandable. There was no condemnation,
00:11:33.900 no RCMP press conference, no government commission into anti-Catholic bigotry, no
00:11:38.180 special funding or investigations. Silence in the main. I'm against hate crimes against anyone. I'm
00:11:44.780 against all crimes. I'm especially against hate crime hoaxes. Because like, say, a false accusation of
00:11:52.680 rape, they make people less likely to believe the real accusation of rape. A false hate crime report
00:11:59.480 trivializes and devalues real victims. Justin Trudeau has presided over their doubling of hate crimes
00:12:06.380 in Canada. And in one year alone, he presided over the 260% growth in hate crimes against Catholics.
00:12:14.740 And not only does he not care, I think he sort of likes it. Stay with us for more.
00:12:29.480 Well, for some people, the mask during the pandemic was, well, it was a solution. It was a
00:12:41.280 prophylactic, as they say. It was a precaution. They were just following medical advice. The advice
00:12:46.940 seemed to change from time to time. But if that's what they were told to do, they would do it. They
00:12:51.360 were compliant citizens. And in a way, you have to salute them for being community-minded, or at least
00:12:57.480 that's what they thought. But for other people, the mask was much more than that. It was a symbol.
00:13:02.480 It was an identity. And once the rest of the world demasked, keeping their mask was a sign of their
00:13:08.640 purity and how much more righteous they are and were than the rest of us. Some people, I think,
00:13:15.700 went a little bit far to the point where it was a symbol of maybe being a little bit off balance.
00:13:21.200 One such person in my mind is Dr. Neely Kaplan-Mirth, who did this bizarre interview on TVO,
00:13:29.460 which is the state broadcaster in the province of Ontario. It's like a provincial version of the
00:13:34.080 CBC. So it's very sympathetic to government. Steve Pakin, who's a fairly independent-minded
00:13:39.440 journalist over there, was interviewing Dr. Kaplan-Mirth. And he couldn't help himself.
00:13:45.640 He just said, why are you wearing a mask on TV? Let me show you that clip. It was quite something.
00:13:53.580 Take a look.
00:13:54.340 We're all getting back to normal now, folks. So let's start there. Are we back to normal yet?
00:13:59.680 No. So the language that you use when you say something like normal is a far-right
00:14:06.000 language of anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and ableists who disregard the impact of COVID on seniors,
00:14:14.640 on children, on educators, on essential workers, on healthcare workers, on our healthcare crisis.
00:14:21.500 There's nothing normal about getting COVID, repeated infections, children and adults being
00:14:28.240 hospitalized, and long COVID. There's nothing normal about taking away the protections and the
00:14:35.140 proactive measures that we had to help to reduce transmission of COVID. And there's nothing normal
00:14:40.920 about getting rid of any kind of isolation requirements, which would have helped to
00:14:46.920 curtail outbreaks in schools, in workplaces, and everywhere else that you go.
00:14:51.100 I mean, no disrespect in asking this, but we've obviously done hundreds of programs during the
00:14:55.480 course of COVID-19. And I don't think we've ever had a guest who kept their mask on during the
00:14:59.560 interview. So again, without prejudice, I merely ask, how come you're wearing yours now?
00:15:04.720 So let me explain. So I'm a doctor. I'm a family doctor. I see patients in my office. I just had
00:15:09.660 patients who are in my office with their babies, and I have more patients coming in this afternoon.
00:15:14.440 COVID is airborne. That means that COVID remains in the air even after you've left the room.
00:15:20.360 I keep my mask on. It is a way to protect myself. It's a way to protect my patients. It's a way to
00:15:25.220 protect my staff and the community. It is what healthcare providers across the world are saying that
00:15:31.480 we should be doing. And it's really not a hardship. I wear my mask from the moment that I arrive in my
00:15:36.520 office in the morning until the end of the day. It's a simple, safe, effective measure.
00:15:41.520 You know, good for him for asking. And her answer, I suppose, was about as reasonable as could be
00:15:46.980 mustered. But we happen to know a little bit more about Dr. Kaplan-Mirth, and she is a mask
00:15:52.140 extremist. In fact, she ran for the Edmonton, sorry, excuse me, the Ottawa School Board on a mask
00:15:58.800 platform, which is absurd. There's no scientific basis for it, especially with regards to children
00:16:04.880 who are practically immune to the virus. And if they do catch the virus, it's almost never serious.
00:16:12.800 It's an ideological flag, I tell you. And that flag was enough to muster support for Dr. Kaplan-Mirth
00:16:19.960 to be elected to that board where she could wreak her, I don't know, it's a little bit of
00:16:26.700 Munchausen disease, I think, a little bit of hypochondria, which is always worrisome in a
00:16:31.740 doctor. I'm not the only person to share that view. There were hundreds of people who actually
00:16:36.760 showed up at the school board meeting last night, not just to talk about Dr. Kaplan-Mirth,
00:16:43.000 but to talk about transgenderism in schools. Now, what I'm about to show you are some citizen
00:16:48.760 journalist videos filmed outside the school board meeting. And what you're about to see
00:16:55.720 is more violence and criminality last night than during the entire trucker convoy. And yet somehow
00:17:05.460 neither the police nor the, I don't know, martial law were imposed. Take a look at how violence from
00:17:12.780 the left, from the Nilly Kaplan-Mirth team responded to parents who were skeptical
00:17:18.640 about this authoritarianism or about transgenderism. Take a look.
00:17:22.920 It looks like a 16-year-old, 17-year-old.
00:17:30.660 Support Schemes! Support Schemes!ści! Support Schemes! Support Schemes! Support Schemes! Support SchemesJ unfreeze!
00:17:46.400 You might recall that young man, Josh Alexander, I interviewed him a few days ago at the True North Strong and Free Conference.
00:18:10.400 He had coffee thrown at him by protesters.
00:18:13.660 He had a red hat on.
00:18:14.880 I've seen that red hat.
00:18:15.720 It does not say make America great again.
00:18:18.320 I think it has a Canadian comment on it.
00:18:20.920 But of course, that red hat was like red to a bull.
00:18:23.760 And the pro-mask, pro-trans crowd there were abusive to him and got physical.
00:18:30.480 Here's another senior citizen assaulted at the same protest by a trans activist.
00:18:36.720 Police were there, but they refused to get involved.
00:18:40.280 Take a look.
00:18:44.200 Do not touch him.
00:18:45.240 Don't touch him.
00:18:46.400 Hey.
00:18:47.100 Hey.
00:18:47.600 Hey.
00:18:47.880 Hey.
00:18:48.540 Hey.
00:18:49.040 Hey.
00:18:50.220 Hey.
00:18:50.540 Hey.
00:18:51.620 Guys, this guy just shot the old guy right down on the ground.
00:18:54.540 Really?
00:18:55.120 Well, come on.
00:18:56.340 No, no, no, man.
00:18:57.420 We got it on video.
00:18:58.060 More violence in those 10 seconds than in the 10 weeks of the truckers combined.
00:19:06.500 Well, very interesting things are afoot.
00:19:09.740 Hundreds, in fact, thousands of people signed a petition to revoke the counsel status of that Dr. Neely Kaplan-Mirth.
00:19:19.280 I don't think an online petition has any legal force or effect, but it was symbolic.
00:19:24.720 But then things got even stranger.
00:19:26.620 Joining us now via Skype from Ottawa to talk about this is a new guest from our favorite place, Truenorth, TNC.news.
00:19:35.340 Eli Kanten-Nantel is the Ottawa reporter for Truenorth, and he joins us today.
00:19:40.660 Eli, nice to meet you.
00:19:42.020 We've met in person, but this is the first time you're on the show.
00:19:44.580 What a pleasure to have you.
00:19:45.760 We love Truenorth, and we're delighted you're with us.
00:19:48.120 Well, thank you for having me, Ezra.
00:19:50.280 I'm a big fan of yours as well, and I look forward to discussing what's on the agenda today.
00:19:55.300 Well, it's great to see you.
00:19:56.300 I refer to your article.
00:19:57.960 We'll put it on the screen.
00:19:59.040 It says, multiple petitions demand resignation of controversial Ottawa school trustee.
00:20:05.880 Now, we love petitions here at Rebel News, and sometimes they can actually have a real impact.
00:20:11.160 I don't think you're going to get a mask school trustee to resign because anti-maskers don't like it.
00:20:18.540 I mean, I think she probably revels in that.
00:20:21.940 But what was so interesting here, I think, Eli, is that the website that hosted this petition is called change.org,
00:20:30.620 and they have petitions for anything, for anyone.
00:20:34.060 They took it down because Dr. Kaplan-Mirth demanded they take it down.
00:20:39.740 Someone put it back up, and then they took it down again as if it was some terrorist screed,
00:20:45.320 simply opposing transgenderism or masks.
00:20:49.500 Well, you get canceled in 2023, don't you?
00:20:53.240 Yeah, well, actually, what's quite surprising, the first time I ever heard of change.org,
00:20:57.900 which is an American big tech platform, was in 2016 after Trump won.
00:21:03.360 A bunch of Hillary supporters put up a petition calling for the Electoral College to reject Donald Trump's victory
00:21:11.960 and have elected Hillary Clinton because she had won the popular vote.
00:21:17.240 That petition was not taken down.
00:21:20.260 This, in many ways, was an attack on democracy because it was calling on the electors to go against their duty
00:21:27.400 to choose who the people in their state had voted for, but that was allowed.
00:21:32.080 There's been lots of other petitions on change.org calling for politicians to resign,
00:21:35.980 including another trustee on the board, Donna Blackburn, over an incident involving a black kid in a basketball court.
00:21:43.340 There's been one calling for Kevin Vung to resign in Toronto.
00:21:46.700 And my first ever story at True North was about a change.org petition
00:21:49.680 that had over 200,000 signatures calling for Francois Legault to resign amid his harsh COVID measures.
00:21:58.080 So it doesn't seem that petitions calling for elected officials is a no-go on change.org.
00:22:06.600 It seems that petitions calling for Dr. Neely to resign,
00:22:10.080 somebody who has shown that she cannot take criticism,
00:22:13.260 despite taking criticism, is part of her job description.
00:22:17.180 While that is unacceptable, you cannot call on her to resign
00:22:21.740 because doing so is apparently a transphobic, anti-Semitic hate crime,
00:22:26.900 and therefore it does not belong on change.org to call for an elected person
00:22:32.840 who many constituents are frustrated with to step down.
00:22:38.240 Yeah, I saw the first petition, and I didn't see anything hateful in it,
00:22:43.320 let alone anything that would rise to the extremely high level required for a hate crime.
00:22:48.840 I've read the criminal code provisions dealing with hate crimes.
00:22:51.660 They are so, the requirements for them to be so extreme.
00:22:55.460 There was nothing hateful here, although hate, I suppose, is a natural human emotion.
00:22:59.860 I don't think you can ban human emotions.
00:23:02.500 Did you see anything in the two petitions?
00:23:04.980 I mean, tell me if there was.
00:23:07.360 Was there anything that could rise to the standard of a hate crime?
00:23:14.200 I noticed that the school board itself put out a lengthy press release
00:23:19.300 denouncing the petition as a scurrilous attack.
00:23:23.900 And it's almost as if when woke leftists are in power,
00:23:29.460 they suddenly don't believe the right to speak truth to power.
00:23:32.780 I mean, when Stephen Harper was prime minister,
00:23:35.060 it was their patriotic duty not just to oppose,
00:23:38.000 but to oppose vitriolically, to oppose with profanity,
00:23:43.440 the F-U-C-K-Harper bumper sticker.
00:23:46.780 But you have a woke leftist school board trustee,
00:23:50.560 and any, even a peaceful online petition is now hate speech that must be deleted.
00:23:57.000 I think these people really are authoritarian bullies.
00:24:00.060 Oh, for sure.
00:24:02.360 I mean, you're right when you look at, for example, Trump.
00:24:06.800 I mean, the left was so vitriolic when it came to Trump.
00:24:10.580 The F-Trump was such a prominent thing there.
00:24:15.240 The second petition actually spoke to the parent.
00:24:17.840 It's a parent who lives in Dr. Neely Kaplan-Murth's zone.
00:24:21.640 And he said that he's been frustrated with her.
00:24:23.900 He feels quite uncomfortable with her being the trustee
00:24:26.040 because she does not listen to his concern and to the concern of other parents.
00:24:30.280 And I've heard a lot of other parents tell me similar things
00:24:32.660 when I was doing a story on the mask issue when that was a thing.
00:24:38.120 But the parent told the people on the petition,
00:24:40.960 and he told me he specifically worded the petition so that it sounds neutral
00:24:45.020 and that it focuses solely on what he believes are violations of the code of conduct.
00:24:51.440 And he asked people to be nice.
00:24:52.940 And in fact, he even told me that he doesn't support the hate that she's been receiving
00:24:58.020 because she has, as I've been receiving, a lot of very awful death threats
00:25:03.500 and stuff that are unacceptable.
00:25:04.640 And he pointed that out and he said, no, I don't support that.
00:25:07.600 And he asked the people to be kind.
00:25:09.780 But a nice, kind petition that is just requesting,
00:25:13.120 not even demanding, requesting their resignation is apparently hate speech.
00:25:18.460 And yes, she loves to use her power, as it's been seen, to shut people down.
00:25:24.000 And on Twitter, she has gone after a lot of people, including parents and constituents.
00:25:31.880 And yeah, it does kind of come off as authoritarian, to be honest.
00:25:35.460 Yeah, you know, I think she's a cry bully.
00:25:38.640 She bullies others and compels them to wear masks.
00:25:41.860 And yet, if anyone criticizes her, she's so thin-skinned.
00:25:48.160 One of the issues that worries me is the violence that is now associated with the authoritarian left.
00:25:56.280 I mean, they've always been authoritarian, but they've never engaged in general anti-foot tactics.
00:26:03.720 But what scares me is we saw in the United States a female-to-male transgender radical with a political manifesto
00:26:12.540 just burst into a school and a church and killed six people with a gun.
00:26:17.100 And I see that even in Canada, you see trans activists wearing shirts with pictures of guns or knives on them.
00:26:24.880 And we haven't seen guns or knives used in Canada yet, but we saw pushing, shoving, shouting, throwing coffee, throwing food,
00:26:33.700 nothing that has yet injured anyone.
00:26:37.020 But I find the contrast so stark because just last year, honking horns was considered a national emergency
00:26:46.380 and more than a thousand cops were deployed to the streets.
00:26:50.060 Here you have pushing, shoving, shouting, bullying, and the cops don't care.
00:26:55.500 I think that Ottawa is becoming, I'm not going to call it a lawless place.
00:26:59.380 I'm going to call it a place where they check your political stripe before they decide whether or not to enforce the law.
00:27:06.600 I'm really worried about Ottawa and Calgary, for that matter, where similar things have happened.
00:27:11.660 Derek Reimer was violently attacked by trans activists.
00:27:14.660 No charges against his attackers, charges against him.
00:27:18.120 I'm worried we're starting to lose equality before the law, Ali.
00:27:21.580 Yes, there's a few things I will say there.
00:27:26.340 I mean, first of all, I think there's a distinction between people who are experiencing gender dysphoria
00:27:31.180 and maybe have concluded as adults that it may be best for them to transition to improve their quality of life
00:27:36.820 and the radical trans activists.
00:27:39.560 Many of them are not even transgender themselves.
00:27:43.720 And yes, I think from what we've seen in the U.S. and the trans day of vengeance that's apparently coming up
00:27:50.320 in the shirts with the knives and the guns, it's concerning because this is an extremist agenda.
00:27:58.360 It's not a mainstream human rights agenda.
00:28:01.280 There are transgender people who are advocating for dignity and respect across the world.
00:28:07.900 Many of these far left activists are not doing that.
00:28:10.680 They're advocating for a completely different type of agenda.
00:28:14.500 And there is a double standard that is present that is concerning.
00:28:18.100 Like we saw in the U.S., had this been a white right-wing Christian man that had gone into a school
00:28:28.140 and shot up trans kids, this would have been a much bigger story.
00:28:33.940 There would have been mass outrage, rightly so, because that would have been a hate crime
00:28:38.360 and that would have been wrong.
00:28:39.740 However, when you have it the other way around and you have a trans person go into a Christian school
00:28:44.580 and kill Christian kids, the media doesn't mention that they're trans, doesn't mention that at all.
00:28:52.120 And the trans lobby actually doesn't want the manifesto taken out.
00:28:56.040 We saw this in Ottawa too.
00:28:57.920 Had it been a convoy person that had assaulted a trans activist, it would have been all over the media.
00:29:04.880 The legacy media, CBC, CTV, I checked their articles about last night's meeting,
00:29:09.840 not a word about the assaults from the trans activists.
00:29:13.020 And this type of double standard is concerning because one side, the right,
00:29:19.300 wars are considered to be violent.
00:29:21.180 Honking is considered to be violent.
00:29:22.840 We are put under this extreme pressure when you're on the right that you have to be perfect
00:29:26.960 because one little thing will screw everything up.
00:29:30.020 Meanwhile, you're on the left, you get to assault minors, you get to assault senior citizens,
00:29:33.640 you get to scream profanity, and you're basically facing no consequences.
00:29:41.360 And that is very concerning.
00:29:42.840 And you're right, it's not just happening in Ottawa, it's happening across North America
00:29:45.640 because wokeness is plaguing our institutions.
00:29:49.420 And that's what wokeness does.
00:29:51.080 Wokeness has no set of morality.
00:29:53.860 Wokeness is a subjective concept where there are certain rights and certain wrongs.
00:29:59.540 And what is considered right and wrong changes on a daily basis, according to what fits the
00:30:04.600 political narrative.
00:30:06.520 You know, I note that usually when there is a mass shooting in the United States,
00:30:11.840 Justin Trudeau tweets about him.
00:30:13.780 And you might think, well, why would the Canadian prime minister tweet about a mass shooting
00:30:17.020 in a foreign country?
00:30:18.080 I get a real vibe whenever he does that, that it's his way of saying, oh, I really care about
00:30:23.320 you, but wink, wink, we need gun control in Canada.
00:30:26.860 It always feels like there's a collateral motive.
00:30:29.740 But I noticed that this mass shooting, and it's at a school, and there's kids who were
00:30:33.900 killed, and normally this would be one of his weepy tweets where he sort of shows his
00:30:39.440 moral superiority.
00:30:40.280 I noticed he didn't tweet about this mass shooting, and I think it is exactly because it was a woke
00:30:47.540 transgender activist committing political terrorism.
00:30:51.220 I think that that's exactly why, and he only cares if the perpetrator is someone that he
00:30:57.360 can loathe.
00:30:58.220 I don't think he actually cares about the victims.
00:31:00.120 That's my thoughts.
00:31:01.160 Ailey, it's a pleasure to have you on the show.
00:31:03.440 Keep up the great reporting.
00:31:04.560 We'll be following this story because I think that when you have hundreds of people going
00:31:08.960 to a school board, I think that's actually good news.
00:31:12.380 It means these things will no longer be done in secret, and parents are getting involved.
00:31:16.400 And maybe this Nilly Kaplan-Mirth might be elected this time, but I think if you wake
00:31:21.480 the sleeping giant of those parents, I think they'll throw these woke trustees out, and
00:31:25.860 that's what I hope will happen.
00:31:27.000 Last word to you, Aileen.
00:31:29.400 Well, thanks for having me, Ezra.
00:31:30.900 I just want to give a bit of perspective on why this lady was elected, I guess, if I may.
00:31:35.780 She's well-known in Ottawa.
00:31:37.180 She ran something called Java Poduza, where she gave thousands and thousands of vaccines,
00:31:41.580 and she lives in the neighborhood right next to mine.
00:31:44.000 Both are kind of upscale, liberal neighborhoods, so many people just recognized her as the
00:31:49.180 lady who gave their kids their vaccines.
00:31:52.640 An average person is not on Twitter looking at her insane tweets.
00:31:58.160 Next time around, though, I think people are starting to realize that under her, things
00:32:01.880 have been disruptive.
00:32:02.700 The police have been called several times now for issues related to her, but it remains
00:32:07.920 to be seen, ideally, by the next election.
00:32:10.600 First of all, will she run again?
00:32:11.780 And second of all, will she be reelected?
00:32:14.340 Only time will tell.
00:32:16.100 Well, thanks for taking the time, and we'll continue to watch your reports at True North,
00:32:20.880 which is TNC.news.
00:32:22.920 There you have it.
00:32:23.740 Aileen Cantan-Nantel, if I'm pronouncing it right.
00:32:27.120 What a good egg.
00:32:27.760 And we look forward to talking to him again.
00:32:29.720 Stay with us.
00:32:30.300 More ahead.
00:32:30.720 Hey, welcome back.
00:32:43.200 Your letters to me.
00:32:44.320 2022 from vaccines to drag queens says,
00:32:47.280 No history of mental illness was part of the report, yet Rebel and a few commentators
00:32:51.560 on here keep claiming the shooter was mentally ill.
00:32:54.260 Being transgender is not a mental illness.
00:32:56.640 A mental illness is when a person is thinking or acting in a way they have little or no control
00:33:00.440 over.
00:33:01.280 Being transgender is a direct choice a person makes, a planned-out attack on their own
00:33:05.860 body, just as the shooter had planned this attack on the people in this school.
00:33:10.280 It is not a mental illness.
00:33:11.820 Calling it a mental illness is making the transgender person out to be a victim of their own circumstances.
00:33:16.980 They are certainly not a victim.
00:33:19.000 They have made a very intentional evil choice.
00:33:22.860 It's a very interesting point of view you have, and I'm going to chew it over in my mind
00:33:26.860 a bit.
00:33:27.860 But I think that with many people, they are victims because they have been propagandized
00:33:34.200 and directed and manipulated when they were just kids.
00:33:37.800 Like, you see children of tender years at some of these drag queen story hours.
00:33:42.760 They're in grade schools, not just high schools.
00:33:45.280 Now, the murderer in Nashville was in her 20s, so she was obviously a grown-up.
00:33:49.960 And yes, we have to make sure that we don't exculpate her from her own decisions.
00:33:54.240 That's true.
00:33:55.480 But when was she worked over by the system?
00:33:59.560 Was she misled?
00:34:01.540 Was she torqued by an activist doctor?
00:34:04.900 Don't know, but I take your point.
00:34:08.620 John Cherezna says, in my humble opinion, it is only a matter of time before those that
00:34:13.100 were forced into transitioning, because it was more of a fad than a fact, will seek revenge
00:34:17.240 on those that did the forcing.
00:34:19.840 Oh, it's the most horrific thing is the surgery, because there's no coming back from it.
00:34:24.400 You know, I remember a few years ago, I cited a study paid for by an LGBTQ plus organization.
00:34:33.420 So it was a very sympathetic study.
00:34:35.700 It was not a reactionary study that showed that the drugs and the surgery made kids even
00:34:43.940 more likely to commit suicide, which seems to make sense, because if you have troubles
00:34:49.720 in your life, if you're disturbed, if you're off balance, if you're off kilter, and you're
00:34:54.020 told, well, cut off your breast, cut off your genitalia, that'll fix it.
00:34:58.680 And you do that extreme thing, and it doesn't make you feel better.
00:35:03.080 Well, what have you done to yourself?
00:35:04.960 It really is no less insane than cutting off a limb.
00:35:08.840 We are in the darkest days.
00:35:10.380 That's our show for today.
00:35:13.500 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,
00:35:17.020 good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
00:35:19.420 We'll see you next time.
00:35:27.740 We'll see you next time.
