All political parties in Saskatchewan reject Trudeau's gun control agenda. Then Alexa Lavie joins the show to talk about the campus Pogrom at McGill University. (Alexa Lavie is a law professor at the University of British Columbia.)
00:04:50.400We've been watching internationally as the UK has made policy changes,
00:04:55.400as well as Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden.
00:04:58.400I mean, this has been an ongoing conversation over the last number of years.
00:05:01.400We've been monitoring it very closely, and we wanted to make sure that we struck the right balance
00:05:05.400so that kids are not making irreversible decisions when they may not be mature enough to make those decisions.
00:05:11.400We want to make sure that those adult decisions are made as adults.
00:05:13.400Now, back in 2020, in direct response to Justin Trudeau's unscientific gun grab of 1,500 models of Canadian shotguns and rifles,
00:05:23.400including the AR-15 through an ordering council, Alberta and Saskatchewan nearly simultaneously announced that they were kicking out
00:05:31.400Justin Trudeau's federal chief firearms officers in their respective provinces and then appointing their own.
00:05:39.400Then, both provinces said they would not direct RCMP resources to confiscate the now-banned firearms from otherwise law-abiding people,
00:05:49.400while Trudeau's bail policies, soft-on-crime nonsense and permissive drug laws cause societal breakdown and decay,
00:05:57.400and of course, a spike in violent crime across our communities.
00:06:01.400Well, I call that a success that they haven't been able to seize a single law-abiding firearms owner's gun.
00:06:06.400So, I wish them continued success at being able to achieve zero compliance with their program,
00:06:12.400and we are not going to do anything to help them.
00:06:14.400We believe that the issue is the illegal firearms getting into the hands of gangs and organized crime coming across the border,
00:06:21.400and the federal government should be focused on that, not focusing on taking guns away from sports shooters, duck hunters and farmers.
00:06:29.400But Saskatchewan went one step further and actually put that announcement into law with the Saskatchewan Firearms Act.
00:06:37.400The law established a licensing requirement for businesses and individuals involved in what the government called firearms expropriation.
00:06:47.400What they mean here is helping Justin Trudeau take firearms from law-abiding Canadians.
00:06:54.400In Saskatchewan, if you want to participate in the federal buyback program, which is a misnomer because you cannot buy back something that you didn't own in the first place.
00:07:05.400Anyway, if you want to participate in snatching the lawfully acquired property from your fellow Saskatchewan resident, you cannot receive money from the federal government to do it.
00:07:16.400You just, I guess, have to be ideologically aligned with the federal government to do it.
00:07:22.400So, all good stuff out of Saskatchewan.
00:07:24.400You guys don't get enough credit for being keepers of the freedom flame.
00:07:27.400However, and this is weird for me, it's not just conservatives in Saskatchewan fighting Trudeau's gun grab.
00:07:38.400Again, unsettling for me, but credit where it's due.
00:07:42.400Look at this tweet from Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe.
00:07:46.400Last week in the legislature, a motion was passed unanimously calling on the federal government to devolve all parts of the Firearms Act to the province of Saskatchewan in order to allow the province to administer and regulate legal firearms possession.
00:08:02.400Our government remains committed to protecting the rights of law-abiding firearms owners and will continue to stand up against Bill C-21, that's the gun grab, while supporting initiatives aimed at the illegal use of firearms in our province.
00:08:17.400With a rare unanimous yes vote in the Saskatchewan legislature, a private member's motion on guns passed Thursday.
00:08:24.400The motion from Carrot River Valley MLA Fred Bradshaw calls on the federal government to devolve or pass on responsibility for all parts of the Firearms Act to the province so it can administer and regulate gun possession itself.
00:08:40.400So thank you Saskatchewan for being a pragmatic prairie petri dish that grows common sense policies, especially on gun issues.
00:08:50.400Our cultures out here in the West are vastly different from that of downtown Toronto and so our laws should reflect that.
00:09:00.400So, all that is to say, I see you have yet another good idea we here in Alberta would like to adopt.
00:09:07.400Alexa Lavoie joins the show after the break to discuss the anti-Semitic sit-in at McGill University in Montreal.
00:09:15.400Justin Trudeau's soft on crime policies are not the only thing that have caused the erosion of civil society here in Canada.
00:09:35.400It's also his soft on anti-Semitism policies.
00:09:40.400Right now, in university campuses across North America, what I would call campus pogroms have popped up, making it nearly impossible for Jewish students to feel safe as anti-Semitic sit-ins occupations are occurring.
00:10:00.400Now, we know that there have been these occupations at Columbia in the United States at the Fashion Institute of Technology as well.
00:10:11.400But, as with most bad leftist ideas, it's spilled into Canada.
00:10:18.400One is threatened to occur at Ottawa today.
00:10:22.400So, joining me is my friend and one of the hardest working journalists in the country, Alexa Lavoie.
00:10:28.400She was out over the weekend at McGill.
00:10:31.400I wanted to bring her on to have her report to us exactly what she saw because you just cannot trust the Trudeau compromised mainstream media to tell you exactly what is occurring there.
00:10:44.400And I know Alexa goes into these things with the eyeballs of a normal person.
00:10:49.400She will notice things that the CBC won't.
00:10:54.400Now you're the guest on the Ezra LeVant show today.
00:10:58.400I know you're very busy editing stuff in the background too.
00:11:02.400I wanted to have you on the show though because I think this is one of the most important stories in the country today.
00:11:08.400That we have now rolled back the clock 70 or so years so that it is nearly impossible for Jewish students to attend university in some universities across North America.
00:11:41.400They were giving interview with them and they were showing one side of the story to the mainstream media.
00:11:47.400But what I really saw on the ground was, first of all, camp, supplies, and also like people asking,
00:11:56.400asking for everyone to continue to supply them with food or other furniture and everything for creating more of this outrageous like board that they have like antisemite sign.
00:12:12.400They have also a toilet in the tent and they have, so they are pretty well organized, I would say.
00:12:21.400But when you arrive there, there is also a really fun side of the story.
00:12:27.400So if you want to speak with someone, everything is really controlled.
00:12:32.400So you cannot speak with the people on the ground.
00:12:35.400There is specific people mandated to speak with media.
00:12:40.400So your freedom of expression, we don't really care about it.
00:12:44.400So shut up and not talk to media because you're not allowed to.
00:12:50.400So just wear your mask for not being recognized and stay into the encampment.
00:12:55.400Police are not really coming into the premises because it's a private property of McGill.
00:13:02.400McGill issued a statement to their citizens saying that they are looking into removing the tents.
00:13:12.400They are speaking with lawyers right now because since the beginning that started on Saturday, the number of tents have apparently tripled.
00:13:23.400So they are not really happy of all of this.
00:13:27.400And we will see in the next few days if McGill will really do what they are saying, removing the tent.
00:13:35.400I met some Jewish students that say to me that since October 7th, they don't feel safe on the campus.
00:14:05.400And everybody was just screaming at him.
00:14:08.400But like imagine being a Jewish student arriving on their campus where they go to school and being surrounded by people who are fully masked chanting some anti-Semite slogan.
00:14:22.400And by the way, like saying like when our people is occupied, resistance is justified.
00:14:29.400This is actually saying that October 7th was justified.
00:14:34.400So I tried to engage conversation with some of them, but I would say that was surrounded by Antifa right away when I arrived.
00:14:42.400So I was just filming like some tent and some sign of anarchists, communism.
00:14:48.400There were flags of communists flying around.
00:15:02.400And, um, and so they came to me, they stopped me to record on either the march because they had a march and they were also the encampment.
00:15:12.400But what I can actually say, say the people who took over the park in the university, they are rich, wealthy, um, white student who most of them doesn't know nothing about the complex.
00:15:28.400You ask them like just basic question of, Oh, what the river, what the sea mean?
00:15:33.400Like which, what can you tell me the name of the river or the sea?
00:15:39.400They don't, they cannot say to me what, what it is.
00:15:44.400And, and I saw also there is other people, different kinds of people who were marching in the street, like mostly much more anti-Israel, but not as Antifa or like anti-capitalist or anti-everything.
00:16:01.400I would say like anti-police, anti-everything.
00:16:04.400So I would say on the campus, the tension was way more palpable.
00:16:12.400Uh, so I want to ask you, are the tents, they look new, right?
00:16:19.400I would say I'm going to open like a, like a tent shop because probably they will have like more encampments, um, growing in Canada.
00:16:31.400I'm, I'm, I can make like a lot of money because like most of the tents, oh, by the way, some of them like had a hard time to bring it up because they were still like putting it up.
00:16:42.400But like, you see, Ottawa university, they supposed to go there afterwards.
00:16:49.400We see because the Ottawa university have issued a statement that they refuse that.
00:16:55.400Um, I just feel sorry or not sorry in the same time for all those universities that now they are like trying to organize everything.
00:17:05.400But in the same time, when you look at it, teachers are taking part of this movement.
00:17:12.400And I think that's why they're wearing masks is I think some of them are members of the faculty and they don't want people to know.
00:17:20.400Could you imagine just being an apolitical student, not even a Jewish student, but just somebody who wants to go to university and escape unbrainwashed.
00:17:30.400And your teachers are participating in the anti-Semitic sit-in movement.
00:17:35.400Yeah. And I try to engage conversation and just ask them, do you condemn, uh, October 7 massacre?
00:17:42.400Or do Hamas is a terrorist organization? Can you actually say it?
00:17:47.400They cannot say it. They always have a reason why they will not say it.
00:17:53.400They will not say it. And one of the men actually say to me, I will not condemn the October 7 massacre, but I understand it.
00:18:04.400But I was like, there is nothing to understand.
00:18:06.400Right. That's like how Justin Trudeau understood why people were burning down churches.
00:18:11.400And, you know, they really don't even understand the, the issue here, because when they say that, you know, their resistance is justified because of an occupation, there's no occupation in Gaza.
00:18:26.400There's not a Jew in Gaza. They even dug up the bodies when Israel pulled out of the Gaza Strip.
00:18:33.400So they don't even understand what the issue is here. What are their demands? Why are they even there?
00:18:40.400I would say every demand that they are asking doesn't make sense.
00:18:45.400Look at, they are asking for a ceasefire, but at the same time saying that we need to normalize and, and do Antifada a little bit everywhere.
00:18:55.400And Antifada is actually, they keep saying that it's uprising. It's not.
00:19:02.400For the beginning of the history, Antifada caused multiple deaths in Israel. And it was not what you think. It was not just like with like some like rock and just like throwing rocks at people.
00:19:20.400It was violent. And it doesn't go in the same side that, oh, we are claiming for a ceasefire. They don't want a ceasefire.
00:19:29.400No, there was a ceasefire on October 6th. There was a ceasefire.
00:19:33.400So every ceasefire has been broken by Palestine. And, and the thing is, most of them, probably some of them have good faith.
00:19:45.400I would say, I would say, and they were, I've been brainwashed and they, they really believe that they are doing a good cause.
00:19:52.400I'm sorry for them because it's, there is a lot of manipulation or on this movement.
00:19:58.400And some of them, like the, the, the, the, the thing that, yes, they will achieve something, but in the same time, it's clear Palestine doesn't want to have a state with, with the partition line.
00:20:15.400So at the end of the day, the other man is actually the destruction of Israel, but they would don't want to say it out loud because it's anti-Semite.
00:20:25.400But they do, but they don't do, they do, they do it, but in another way that they can actually confuse people and say, no, that the meaning is not really what you think.
00:20:36.400It's something else. But in the same time, their meaning, it's all true, their slogan, but it's easier to manipulate people by saying that it means something else and confuse them.
00:20:48.400So, um, right now the students say that they want the universities to sever ties with Israel, but in the same time, I, that would never happen.
00:21:01.400So all along those people would be allowed to, to camp everywhere across Canada on campus and stopping Jewish students or just normal people to go to assist to their, their courses.
00:21:14.400Because most of our teachers have canceled some of their courses just, just because of that, because some of them like the, but first of all, there is some people who are not going into their, their course.
00:21:27.400And we will receive because in the McGill statement, they say that most of the people in those campaigns, they are not students at McGill.
00:21:36.400So right now there is an issue of, we are for freedom of speech, freedom of, uh, protest, but those people are not from our, in the university.
00:21:49.400So, so we are not supporting people who are not our, I would say our client, because it's kind of like being a client when you go to the school.
00:22:00.400But so we will see what will happen, but I know that right now they are looking to remove them from there, but it would be hard.
00:22:07.400I think, uh, police would need to intervene at one point because they will not let anybody to go and pull down the tent, especially because they've really put real fence, metal fence around it.
00:22:19.400But I would say that, uh, I visited their, their telegram chat and, uh, they are asking for money, uh, donation, um, everything that they need as supplies.
00:22:33.400And, uh, they are also asking people to come at night for security to protect the camp.
00:22:40.400So I don't think a lot of people are sleeping in the camp.
00:22:44.400I think there is some people who rely themselves to keep the camp up because on the first night there were a big storm that happened in Montreal.
00:22:54.400So I was just thinking, Oh my God, they probably not happy like right now.
00:22:59.400Uh, Alexa, I know that you are going to keep a very careful eye on this story.
00:23:05.400I think you were the first independent journalist on the scene there, and I know you'll probably be there.
00:23:11.400And I know you'll probably be the last.
00:23:13.400Um, I just appreciate your willingness to just get out there in the field and bring the people the news because they can trust us and they can't trust the mainstream media who are only talking to the controlled media relations people of these protests.
00:23:29.400Because we know if you talk to an actual protester, they might tell you exactly what they think.
00:23:36.400Um, and you know, as always, if these people are Canadian citizens, well, okay.
00:23:42.400But if they are foreign national supporters of Hamas, people can go to our petition site at deporthamas.com and sign that petition calling on the governments to evict these terror apologists from our country.
00:24:22.400We want to know what our stories make you feel, what our stories make you think.
00:24:27.400And if we are truly giving you, as our company mandate says, the other side of the story, something you could not find in the mainstream media.
00:24:35.400Now, today's letters come to us on Ezra's interactions with protesters at the New York Fashion Institute.
00:24:43.400And those were the aforementioned anti-Semitic protesters.
00:24:52.400They are there to demand the divestment of the university from any ties to the state of Israel because they have sided with Hamas on the October 7th terror attack.
00:25:05.400I guess they feel that those 1,200 innocent Israeli civilians had it coming along with the 240 plus hostages, the babies that were kidnapped.
00:25:16.400They obviously deserved it, according to these people.
00:25:19.400Now, Joyce, Joyce, I'm sorry, I'm probably saying that wrong, says ironic that protesters are protesting the occupation of Gaza, but are occupying private property.
00:25:32.400But as I pointed out in my discussion with my friend Alexa Lavoie, there is no occupation of Gaza.
00:25:41.400The Israelis pulled out of Gaza a decade ago.
00:25:45.400They even dug up the bodies of the dead from the cemeteries.
00:25:52.400Gazans have been in control of Gaza and they have decided to focus all their attention and aid dollars on terrorism rather than building their economy and giving the people of Gaza a better life.
00:26:06.400So they are not even protesting a thing that is really happening even remotely.
00:26:13.400Roberto Cifredi says universities cannot discriminate and single out a country for divestment.
00:26:19.400It's against both federal and state statutes.
00:26:23.400I'm not all that sure about United States statutes.
00:26:30.400However, singling out the state of Israel for divestment while the state of Israel is fighting an existential battle for survival feels slightly anti-Semitic.
00:26:46.400And targeting Jewish students who may or may not be citizens of the state of Israel feels completely anti-Semitic.
00:26:55.400Making Jewish students uncomfortable to go to their own university.
00:27:29.400But this is exactly like Occupy Wall Street.
00:27:32.400It's an astroturfed, union-funded, if I had to guess, protest.
00:27:41.400Where the people involved in the protest are exactly what Ezra describes them as useful idiots.
00:27:48.400They're not even sure why they're there.
00:27:49.400Just somebody told them that they should be there and they are social justice advocates.
00:27:54.400And so this is how they fight for social justice without actually knowing what justice really is.
00:28:00.400And if I had to guess, most of these people are not there in the evening.
00:28:08.400They leave their brand new tent that probably still has the price tags on it and their sleeping bag that's never been washed and they go back to their comfortable first world lifestyle.
00:28:19.400This is the lowest form of social justice sitting in a park all day in new camping equipment without even having to camp.
00:28:34.400And, you know, there's a reason it popped up in the spring and not in the winter when much of the fighting in Gaza was already taking place.
00:28:46.400Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight. Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:28:50.400I'm not sure who's hosting the show tomorrow.
00:28:52.400Maybe it's me. Maybe it's David Menzies.
