00:00:00.420 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.
00:00:03.800 Tonight, a Liberal staffer would like us Westerners to just be a little more grateful for all that Trudeau is doing for us.
00:00:11.580 Then, Toronto has a terrorism problem, nobody wants to say the word,
00:00:16.540 and the Danforth shooting report leaves us far more questions than answers.
00:00:21.620 It's July 5th, 2019, I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:26.820 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:32.580 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:36.660 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:00:47.760 This fella here, well, his name is Tyler Meredith.
00:00:50.740 He's a long-time Liberal partisan.
00:00:53.460 In fact, he's the senior policy advisor to the Federal Liberal Caucus and the ex-advisor for economic and social policy for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:01:03.820 So, if we think about it, if the Liberals have had a dumb or really bizarre idea or policy plan,
00:01:09.800 it either came directly from this guy's brain or it passed through his brain like a fish tank filter at some point.
00:01:16.340 And in an attempt to shut up some pesky Westerners like me who are sick and tired of the abuse and mistreatment we're taking from the federal government,
00:01:25.740 a federal government that blocked pipelines, wants to transition away from fossil fuels, you know, the West's best industry,
00:01:32.380 scapegoats law-abiding gun owners, and also takes far more than it gives us,
00:01:37.340 Meredith sent numerical evidence of Prince Trudeau's benevolence towards the serfs west of Winnipeg.
00:01:43.220 He tweeted,
00:01:44.060 The neat thing about the public accounts of Canada, they're irrefutable facts.
00:01:49.200 Western economic diversification.
00:01:51.900 That's the corporate welfare arm of the Feds for Western Canada, by the way.
00:01:57.120 Total funds used 2014-2015 by Harper, $162 million.
00:02:02.020 2017-2018 Trudeau, $227.1 million.
00:02:06.940 A 40% increase under Trudeau, and in Budget 2018, even more added.
00:02:13.060 You got that, people?
00:02:14.560 Shut up, Westerners, about your jobs.
00:02:17.100 Shut up about your business insolvencies and your out-of-control suicide rates.
00:02:21.960 Just be grateful for what we're giving you.
00:02:25.280 Meredith is a Liberal Party operative, a Liberal Party employee,
00:02:29.240 so I'm sure he knows that the Liberal government ran a $16.6 billion shortfall in 2017,
00:02:35.580 the year he's bragging about Trudeau out-subsidizing Harper in the West.
00:02:40.000 Am I supposed to be happy Trudeau's giving corporate welfare to companies
00:02:43.640 so that I have to pay it back eventually, or rather my kids have to pay it back some way?
00:02:49.400 And hang on here for a second.
00:02:51.400 I'm sorry, but when did we Westerners ever ask for a handout?
00:02:55.780 We only ever ask for the Fed to get out of the way of what we're trying to do here.
00:03:00.520 But we'll have to excuse Meredith because, as an Eastern-based Liberal,
00:03:04.160 he's not used to the way we do things out here.
00:03:06.620 Looks to me like the senior policy advisor to the Federal Liberal Caucus
00:03:11.460 has mistaken us out here in Alberta and in the West for, I don't know, Bombardier.
00:03:17.720 Actually, if we were Bombardier in the same year that Tyler Meredith is bragging
00:03:23.640 about the Trudeau government disbursing $227 million,
00:03:28.660 the government very clearly doesn't have in the first place,
00:03:32.500 through Western economic diversification,
00:03:36.060 the Liberals were giving $150 million more than that to prop up Bombardier.
00:03:43.340 Just look at this.
00:03:44.520 From 2017 in the CBC of all places.
00:03:47.600 The Federal government says it will provide $372.5 million in interest-free loans to Bombardier,
00:03:56.720 a move that elicited criticism,
00:03:59.240 even though it is far less than the transportation giant originally sought more than a year ago.
00:04:05.100 Oh yeah, I suppose.
00:04:07.420 The Liberals would also want us to be grateful for this handout
00:04:10.060 because it's apparently far less than the $1 billion Bombardier was originally begging the government for in the first place.
00:04:18.800 But this gift to Bombardier, it isn't stand-alone,
00:04:21.920 again from the same CBC article about that perennial welfare queen, aircraft peddler.
00:04:27.960 Last year, Bombardier received a $1 billion U.S. investment
00:04:32.700 for the C-Series passenger jet program from the Quebec government
00:04:37.260 in exchange for a 49.5% stake.
00:04:41.320 A $1 billion U.S. investment from the Quebec government?
00:04:45.480 I wonder where Quebec got that kind of cash from.
00:04:49.020 Maybe it's from the $13 billion in equalization payments Quebec will get this year alone.
00:04:55.640 I mean, with $13 billion extra in equalization payments
00:05:00.620 and a balanced budget on the backs of all that extra cash,
00:05:04.560 surely Quebec could have afforded the $1.3 billion the federal government has just committed
00:05:11.080 to a Montreal subway project.
00:05:14.840 According to Statistics Canada in 2016,
00:05:18.160 right in the middle of Alberta's oil industry
00:05:21.060 getting just absolutely hammered by a confluence of NDP and Liberal policies
00:05:26.440 causing a capital evacuation and a pipeline bottleneck,
00:05:30.460 Albertans sent $48 billion worth of taxes to Ottawa
00:05:34.160 but only received $27.2 billion back in the form of federal spending.
00:05:39.300 This is a gap of $21 billion.
00:05:42.900 And 2017 wasn't any better.
00:05:45.720 We couldn't get a pipeline approved if our lives depended on it,
00:05:49.080 and, you know, they really do.
00:05:50.500 And yet Albertans sent $50.3 billion to the federal government
00:05:55.640 and received back about $28.5 billion,
00:05:59.080 amounting to a spending inequity of nearly $22 billion.
00:06:03.600 So, yeah, thanks for that $227 million worth of our own money
00:06:08.820 dished out to us again, Tyler Meredith,
00:06:11.840 after being cycled through the hands of a thousand bureaucrats.
00:06:14.800 Oh, and about the Feds getting out of the way of what we do best out here.
00:06:19.220 So they don't have to brag about the handouts they give back to us.
00:06:24.180 The Alberta government, under the NDP, of all people,
00:06:29.340 estimated that Alberta was losing $80 million per day
00:06:33.620 through the lack of pipeline access.
00:06:35.320 Ironic that the NDP would come up with such an idea as a running tally
00:06:39.060 of these sorts of things, given their long and storied history of being
00:06:43.060 the reason pipelines get blocked.
00:06:45.860 But anyway, a little quick math tells me that just three days,
00:06:51.660 with the appropriate amount of pipeline access,
00:06:54.460 would have paid for Justin Trudeau's
00:06:56.900 Western Economic Diversification Handout in 2017.
00:07:02.000 This great article by Toronto Sun's Laurie Goldstein
00:07:05.180 quotes a Fraser Institute report that shows
00:07:07.360 nearly $21 billion in GDP has evaporated
00:07:11.180 from the Canadian economy because of a lack of pipeline access.
00:07:16.040 Well, that's weird, because that's almost the exact same amount
00:07:19.600 as the equalization spending gap
00:07:21.540 that Albertans experienced back in 2016.
00:07:24.380 You know, funny that.
00:07:26.400 So I guess my question for Mr. Meredith Remains is,
00:07:30.160 where do I send the thank you card?
00:07:32.940 Stay with us more up next after the break.
00:07:35.800 We discuss the Danforth shooting report with our special guest.
00:07:39.180 Toronto has a couple of things happening right now
00:07:55.420 that look and feel a lot like terrorism.
00:07:57.960 Actually, more than a couple of things,
00:07:59.620 as my guest today will point out.
00:08:01.300 Nobody really wants to say the word terrorism, though.
00:08:05.060 Instead, Toronto leadership seems more concerned
00:08:07.260 with blaming the law-abiding for their ever-increasing
00:08:09.640 crime problem on the ground.
00:08:12.500 Now, joining me to make sense of all these crime
00:08:15.180 and security stories from the center of the universe in Toronto
00:08:19.640 is Leo Knight, joining me from his home in British Columbia.
00:08:22.940 Leo is a former Canadian police officer.
00:08:25.780 He's a security expert and a frequent media commentator.
00:08:29.640 And he's also a research and journalism fellow
00:08:32.000 at True North Canada.
00:08:33.800 Hey, Leo, thanks for joining me.
00:08:36.240 There's just so much going on in Toronto,
00:08:38.860 but it really is a problem all across the country.
00:08:43.360 I wanted to have you on first and foremost
00:08:46.280 because you did an incredible analysis
00:08:48.980 of the police report on the Danforth shooting.
00:08:54.500 You really went through this with a police officer's skepticism
00:08:59.100 and an investigator's eye.
00:09:01.360 And you laid out all the answers that aren't there, really.
00:09:09.100 Yeah, I laid out a bunch of questions that I have.
00:09:11.880 Yeah.
00:09:12.960 Which, you know, in a strange sort of way,
00:09:16.360 I spent many years instructing.
00:09:19.740 And one of the things when you're teaching report writing
00:09:21.740 is that the reader should not have any questions
00:09:24.020 at the end of the report.
00:09:25.180 But after I read that 23-page report
00:09:27.840 from the Toronto Police Service into the Danforth shooting,
00:09:30.760 I had a number of questions, as you've noted.
00:09:34.420 Yeah, I mean, you went through and said, you know,
00:09:36.940 that there's weapons missing.
00:09:40.060 And you went through and said,
00:09:41.820 okay, well, great, they found a magazine clip for an AK-47.
00:09:45.860 Where's the gun?
00:09:47.920 Loaded.
00:09:48.460 It was just a magazine clip.
00:09:50.180 Yeah, it was just a series of unanswered questions
00:09:53.300 that the report doesn't seem to address.
00:09:56.200 Maybe you can go through some of those for us.
00:09:58.780 Well, there was a number of things.
00:10:00.080 When they, after following the shooting,
00:10:01.620 when they identified the shooter,
00:10:03.940 he took his own life, as you recall,
00:10:05.800 when police arrived on the scene.
00:10:08.240 They identified him,
00:10:09.420 and they went to his residence,
00:10:10.920 an apartment he shared in the Farncliffe area of Toronto
00:10:14.160 with his parents.
00:10:15.460 And they searched the apartment,
00:10:18.160 and they came up with a bunch of ammunition and a gun case.
00:10:22.680 The gun case, I'm led to believe,
00:10:25.020 was for the actual handgun that he used in the shooting.
00:10:29.360 But they also found a magazine clip loaded for an AK-47.
00:10:33.540 And they found another magazine for a Ruger.
00:10:37.560 And various types of ammunition.
00:10:41.460 There's no indication in the report,
00:10:44.040 you know, what efforts were ever put into finding those weapons,
00:10:46.900 and indeed, did they ever find them?
00:10:49.300 In fact, I believe that they did not.
00:10:52.100 And if he had a magazine clip for an AK,
00:10:55.120 then that AK has got to be around somewhere.
00:10:56.860 Well, and you also posed some pretty serious questions
00:11:02.760 about the shooter's skills with the weapons that he used.
00:11:08.820 I'm a frequent shooter.
00:11:10.060 I don't know if I could have done what he did.
00:11:12.620 So you posed some questions about where he received that training,
00:11:18.160 given that he's, for all intents and purposes,
00:11:21.680 had no official training with a firearm
00:11:24.000 because he's not a licensed firearms owner.
00:11:27.820 So we know his guns were illegally obtained.
00:11:29.640 He didn't have to go through the same course as I did.
00:11:32.940 So he's got some acumen with firearms.
00:11:36.480 And there were really no questions
00:11:39.480 or really no answers given for where he received that
00:11:43.440 or any follow-up that you could see done on his foreign travel
00:11:48.760 where maybe he did receive some firearms training.
00:11:52.440 In the wake of the shooting,
00:11:54.780 there were various media reports that said he had traveled to Pakistan.
00:11:59.980 It didn't tell us, the reports didn't tell us exactly when he went there
00:12:04.920 or for how long.
00:12:07.100 The police report, the Toronto police report,
00:12:10.080 is silent on the matter entirely.
00:12:11.720 The other thing, as you noted,
00:12:16.220 when he went, there was numerous video clips
00:12:19.600 that were out in the internet after the fact.
00:12:23.380 And you can see him walking down the street
00:12:25.300 emptying a magazine with a handgun,
00:12:28.180 which was a Smith & Wesson 40 cal semi-automatic pistol.
00:12:32.240 He'd emptied a magazine, eject it,
00:12:34.720 and quickly ram another one in, rack around,
00:12:37.140 and then keep shooting as he was walking up the street.
00:12:40.540 I'm no firearms expert,
00:12:44.040 although I've carried a gun in the service of my country.
00:12:47.260 But I do know that to do that requires a certain amount of skill,
00:12:52.160 at the very least practice with some instruction.
00:12:56.620 I talked to a friend I know who is a firearms expert.
00:13:01.320 In fact, he was instrumental with our air marshals program
00:13:05.760 and training those police officers.
00:13:09.300 And he looked at a couple of the video clips
00:13:11.420 and he said definitely that the guy's been trained.
00:13:14.020 So I'm not just talking off the top of my head here.
00:13:16.960 There's no question he had some level of training.
00:13:19.960 What that was, I don't know.
00:13:21.980 And certainly the Toronto police report
00:13:23.480 is silent on the subject as well.
00:13:24.940 There has been some evidence that he was dealing in drugs also.
00:13:32.400 Again, a lot of unanswered questions with that,
00:13:34.960 as well as indications that, of course,
00:13:37.620 as is always the case with these people
00:13:40.400 who commit these sort of crimes,
00:13:42.220 it seems like there's a tendency to lay
00:13:45.560 this sort of radicalized behavior
00:13:47.680 and really, quite frankly, terrorism
00:13:49.320 on the feet of mental illness.
00:13:51.040 But you point out that he didn't really seem
00:13:53.940 to have any problems with mental illness
00:13:55.780 since about 2012.
00:13:58.420 Yeah, the report goes through
00:14:00.620 some of the earlier contact he had
00:14:02.800 with the mental health system,
00:14:04.920 either through the school he was attending
00:14:06.680 or through social workers.
00:14:11.040 And certainly there were issues.
00:14:13.040 The report says he was diagnosed
00:14:14.900 with antisocial behavior.
00:14:19.620 Well, I think that's clear.
00:14:20.560 I mean, nobody walks down the street
00:14:21.900 with Toronto shooting indiscriminately
00:14:24.500 and can be called any sort of social.
00:14:27.840 He's clearly got some sort
00:14:29.340 of antisocial personality disorder.
00:14:32.040 But, you know, as against that,
00:14:33.480 what exactly does that mean?
00:14:35.060 I've done a little bit of looking
00:14:36.380 to try and figure that out.
00:14:38.180 And it means, essentially,
00:14:40.220 somebody who doesn't like to be around people.
00:14:43.200 Well, that covers a lot of territory.
00:14:46.160 And I like dogs better than people.
00:14:48.100 So do I have antisocial better
00:14:49.700 personality disorder?
00:14:52.340 Yeah, I mean, I like to work alone
00:14:53.900 in my basement,
00:14:54.900 as I am right now.
00:14:57.760 But I don't think that's an excuse
00:14:59.300 for committing a terrorist act
00:15:01.500 on the streets of Toronto.
00:15:02.580 And I think that's a good segue
00:15:04.620 into the next thing
00:15:05.820 that I wanted to talk to you about.
00:15:07.700 And it's how Crown prosecutors
00:15:10.520 want to have a man
00:15:11.560 who attacked Canadian soldiers
00:15:13.260 back in 2016
00:15:14.660 at a North York recruitment center
00:15:17.160 labeled as a terrorist.
00:15:19.480 This is actually quite refreshing
00:15:20.940 to see that there is this push
00:15:22.420 to have him labeled as a terrorist
00:15:24.800 because the man
00:15:26.780 whose name I'm going to butcher
00:15:29.060 right now,
00:15:31.860 Anya Ayanle Hassan Ali,
00:15:35.100 he's currently in a
00:15:37.140 Hamilton St. Joseph's
00:15:38.940 health care facility
00:15:39.920 where he's being treated
00:15:41.300 for schizophrenia.
00:15:43.120 So, again,
00:15:44.760 the two I don't think
00:15:46.860 are mutually exclusive.
00:15:48.360 You can be mentally ill
00:15:49.900 and still be a terrorist.
00:15:51.460 And it's good to see
00:15:52.100 the Crown prosecutors
00:15:53.460 pursuing this.
00:15:54.880 Well, I mean,
00:15:55.660 I would argue that
00:15:56.540 if you're going to be a terrorist,
00:15:58.060 you have a certain amount
00:15:59.140 of mental illness already.
00:16:01.360 You're not talking about
00:16:02.760 anything that can be
00:16:04.640 even remotely called
00:16:06.000 normal behavior.
00:16:07.360 That guy approached
00:16:08.400 two soldiers
00:16:10.780 at a recruitment center
00:16:11.980 and suddenly whipped out a knife
00:16:13.840 and started attacking them.
00:16:16.380 What triggered that?
00:16:18.060 The prosecutors you refer to
00:16:19.620 say he has been radicalized.
00:16:21.780 The police are saying,
00:16:22.980 well, yes,
00:16:23.400 yes, but he was also
00:16:24.860 mentally ill.
00:16:26.880 They apply the mentally
00:16:28.240 ill thing to the Danforth
00:16:30.060 shooter as well.
00:16:31.500 It was also applied
00:16:32.540 to a previous attack
00:16:35.660 in Edmonton
00:16:36.520 a little over a year ago
00:16:37.860 where a guy stabbed
00:16:39.740 a police officer
00:16:40.660 working traffic point
00:16:41.860 at Commonwealth Stadium.
00:16:43.740 He then went on a rampage
00:16:45.320 with a rental vehicle
00:16:46.760 down Jasper Avenue
00:16:48.420 trying to hit pedestrians
00:16:49.740 and whatnot
00:16:50.420 before he was finally stopped.
00:16:53.780 He had an ISIS flag
00:16:55.480 in the vehicle.
00:16:57.160 I don't know how you call
00:16:58.280 that anything else.
00:16:59.200 Yet, you know,
00:17:01.260 there were elements
00:17:01.900 of discussion at the time
00:17:03.200 that he had mental issues
00:17:04.460 and he was on some sort
00:17:05.640 of meds
00:17:06.220 and so on and so forth.
00:17:07.680 There just seems to be
00:17:09.000 this tendency
00:17:10.340 to not just
00:17:14.260 to call a spade
00:17:15.200 a shovel.
00:17:16.180 And I don't know
00:17:16.980 why that is
00:17:17.680 other than it's
00:17:18.520 politically expedient
00:17:19.800 for, you know,
00:17:22.020 for the, say,
00:17:23.160 the federal liberals
00:17:23.940 who are trying
00:17:24.580 to repatriate
00:17:25.800 ISIS,
00:17:27.400 former ISIS fighters.
00:17:29.340 And they're bringing
00:17:30.280 in a lot of Syrian refugees
00:17:31.860 without the ability
00:17:32.880 to vet them
00:17:33.560 or check their backgrounds.
00:17:34.600 And I think
00:17:35.680 if, truth be told,
00:17:38.460 they don't want
00:17:39.300 that discussion
00:17:40.360 out there.
00:17:42.440 No, I think you're right.
00:17:43.720 I mean,
00:17:44.780 the Parliament Hill shooter,
00:17:46.900 after the fact,
00:17:48.560 he was also,
00:17:50.900 you know,
00:17:51.300 a lot of people
00:17:51.780 on the left,
00:17:52.340 like you say,
00:17:53.020 don't want to have
00:17:53.560 these discussions
00:17:54.920 were pointing out
00:17:56.360 that he had a history
00:17:57.360 of mental illness.
00:17:58.700 I don't know
00:17:59.380 how the two
00:18:00.180 are incompatible.
00:18:02.460 I mean,
00:18:02.660 the attempted
00:18:04.780 stabber
00:18:05.600 of those soldiers,
00:18:07.280 the paramedics
00:18:08.300 who arrived
00:18:09.300 on the scene
00:18:10.020 heard him say
00:18:11.460 that Allah
00:18:12.140 had sent him
00:18:13.080 to kill people.
00:18:14.760 He also said
00:18:15.640 that he had
00:18:16.060 a license to kill.
00:18:18.000 Just because
00:18:19.020 some of these folks
00:18:21.900 do have a history
00:18:22.580 of mental illness
00:18:23.280 does not mean
00:18:24.500 that they are not
00:18:25.360 radicalized
00:18:26.400 either online
00:18:28.420 or through other ways
00:18:29.440 to harm
00:18:30.980 and dismantle
00:18:31.720 Canadian culture.
00:18:33.440 Absolutely.
00:18:34.280 I mean,
00:18:34.800 as I said,
00:18:35.760 Sheila,
00:18:36.400 it seems to me
00:18:37.460 that if you're going
00:18:38.180 to do these types
00:18:39.740 of things,
00:18:40.340 then you probably
00:18:41.040 have some sort
00:18:41.800 of mental disorder
00:18:42.680 in the first place
00:18:43.540 because rational
00:18:44.600 people don't do that.
00:18:46.640 No,
00:18:47.140 that's a great point.
00:18:48.160 And that actually
00:18:49.360 brings me
00:18:50.160 to another great article
00:18:53.480 that you have up
00:18:54.880 right now
00:18:55.340 on TNC News.
00:18:57.580 And it's about,
00:18:59.520 again,
00:19:00.260 the government
00:19:00.880 scapegoating
00:19:01.760 the wrong people.
00:19:02.720 I think
00:19:03.080 with the problem
00:19:05.120 with not calling
00:19:06.040 terrorism terrorism,
00:19:07.020 they end up
00:19:07.960 actually scapegoating
00:19:09.420 the people
00:19:10.280 with mental illness
00:19:11.360 problems
00:19:11.940 instead of addressing
00:19:13.040 the terrorism problem.
00:19:14.500 and you have
00:19:15.420 a great article
00:19:16.320 up right now
00:19:16.900 about how
00:19:17.380 the government
00:19:18.040 has basically
00:19:19.300 placed the entire
00:19:20.860 wrong focus
00:19:22.140 on,
00:19:23.580 with their new
00:19:25.280 gun legislation,
00:19:26.740 Bill C-71,
00:19:27.960 scapegoating
00:19:28.960 the wrong people,
00:19:30.540 the lawful,
00:19:31.440 law-abiding gun owners
00:19:32.580 like me,
00:19:33.400 instead of investigating
00:19:34.380 organized crime
00:19:35.240 and drug-dealing gangs.
00:19:36.520 Right.
00:19:37.600 Well,
00:19:37.860 I also used
00:19:38.440 the example
00:19:39.020 of a project
00:19:40.860 that was taken
00:19:41.440 down in Toronto
00:19:42.140 last week.
00:19:43.500 They had a press
00:19:44.260 conference on Friday
00:19:45.260 where they had
00:19:46.520 arrested 73 people
00:19:49.400 and charged them
00:19:50.080 with over 500
00:19:51.000 offenses.
00:19:53.140 And they seized
00:19:54.300 a lot of guns,
00:19:55.360 none of them
00:19:55.760 legal weapons.
00:19:57.400 A lot of those
00:19:58.300 people are charged
00:19:59.060 with various
00:19:59.740 firearm offenses,
00:20:02.420 possessing an illegal
00:20:03.640 weapon,
00:20:04.400 you know,
00:20:04.640 careless storage,
00:20:05.660 you know,
00:20:05.900 and a whole lot
00:20:07.080 of other things.
00:20:08.440 But in order
00:20:09.420 to attack
00:20:09.980 the urban
00:20:11.020 gun problem
00:20:12.420 in our cities,
00:20:14.960 you need to
00:20:15.680 actually attack
00:20:16.560 the problem.
00:20:17.340 And that means
00:20:17.980 that the police
00:20:18.760 have got to be
00:20:19.560 given the ability
00:20:21.180 to go after
00:20:21.880 organized crime
00:20:22.780 and the street gangs.
00:20:24.340 And that was
00:20:25.180 a really good project
00:20:26.180 that was done
00:20:26.840 by the Toronto
00:20:28.000 Police Service
00:20:28.720 over the course
00:20:29.400 of eight months.
00:20:30.960 And they made
00:20:31.740 all those arrests.
00:20:32.540 But that was just
00:20:33.060 against one
00:20:33.720 East End street gang
00:20:35.000 in Scarborough.
00:20:35.900 I mean,
00:20:36.520 there's so many
00:20:37.040 more out there.
00:20:37.820 There's so much
00:20:38.380 more going on
00:20:39.280 across this country.
00:20:41.560 And none
00:20:44.320 of those people
00:20:44.860 who use guns,
00:20:46.400 if there's a shooting
00:20:47.660 by a gangster
00:20:48.940 in Vancouver,
00:20:50.440 you know,
00:20:51.460 or in Jane Finch
00:20:52.940 in Toronto
00:20:53.520 or on 97th Street
00:20:56.500 in Edmonton,
00:20:57.620 those guns
00:20:58.680 are not legal.
00:20:59.520 They were obtained
00:21:00.120 otherwise.
00:21:01.420 Whether they were
00:21:02.360 smuggled into this
00:21:03.160 country or bought
00:21:04.000 in the illegal
00:21:04.520 black market
00:21:05.320 or stolen
00:21:06.140 from a private
00:21:07.860 residence
00:21:08.540 is really immaterial.
00:21:10.620 If you want
00:21:11.200 to focus on gun crime,
00:21:12.740 you need to go
00:21:13.320 after what the
00:21:14.000 real problem is.
00:21:15.360 And like anything
00:21:16.220 else,
00:21:16.580 even the other
00:21:17.360 subject we were
00:21:17.980 talking about,
00:21:18.720 Sheila,
00:21:19.420 you can't fix
00:21:21.120 a problem if you
00:21:21.920 won't call it
00:21:22.520 what it is.
00:21:23.220 No,
00:21:25.100 and you and I
00:21:26.080 have talked about
00:21:26.620 this before.
00:21:29.380 Toronto has taken
00:21:30.940 away one of the
00:21:32.140 best intelligence
00:21:33.540 gathering tools
00:21:34.600 that police were
00:21:35.600 using to combat
00:21:36.560 gang violence
00:21:37.440 and that was
00:21:38.240 carding.
00:21:39.680 You know,
00:21:40.640 the whole practice
00:21:41.620 of carding was
00:21:42.320 accused of being
00:21:43.000 racist because it
00:21:44.160 unfairly so-called
00:21:46.080 unfairly targeted
00:21:47.400 minority communities.
00:21:49.000 But in fact,
00:21:49.820 carding was used
00:21:50.620 to keep minority
00:21:51.440 communities safer.
00:21:52.440 Those are the
00:21:53.100 communities right
00:21:54.340 now being overrun
00:21:55.240 by gangs.
00:21:56.080 Well,
00:21:56.680 we have the same
00:21:57.780 problem in Vancouver
00:21:58.880 where the anti-poverty
00:22:01.800 groups such as they
00:22:02.800 are,
00:22:03.100 I call them the
00:22:03.720 poverty pimps,
00:22:05.080 are trying to stop
00:22:06.540 Vancouver police
00:22:07.560 from doing street
00:22:08.860 checks because they
00:22:10.020 say it unfairly
00:22:11.020 attacks the
00:22:13.940 indigenous community.
00:22:15.480 They had the same
00:22:16.140 issue in New York
00:22:17.060 City where NYPD
00:22:18.280 used a tactic they
00:22:20.480 called stop and
00:22:21.240 frisk,
00:22:21.780 which essentially
00:22:22.860 was the same
00:22:23.440 thing.
00:22:24.160 Every police
00:22:24.760 department in
00:22:26.600 North America
00:22:27.300 uses some form
00:22:29.240 of that tactic
00:22:29.960 where they stop
00:22:30.700 somebody who
00:22:31.240 appears to be
00:22:31.900 suspicious,
00:22:33.020 they identify
00:22:33.700 them,
00:22:34.120 they say,
00:22:34.460 where are you
00:22:34.700 going?
00:22:35.220 And,
00:22:35.740 you know,
00:22:35.960 they identify
00:22:36.540 who they're
00:22:37.060 with and they,
00:22:38.580 you know,
00:22:38.840 if they see
00:22:39.360 anything suspicious,
00:22:40.880 if they're reacting
00:22:41.860 or acting suspicious
00:22:43.000 in any way,
00:22:43.940 then they search
00:22:44.960 them to see if
00:22:45.840 there's any
00:22:46.140 weapons.
00:22:46.540 I mean,
00:22:46.900 it's police
00:22:48.700 work 101.
00:22:51.140 Leo,
00:22:51.860 you're an expert
00:22:52.480 in security
00:22:53.440 and policing.
00:22:54.760 Let's pretend
00:22:55.580 you're one of
00:22:56.040 those high-paid
00:22:56.980 consultants that
00:22:58.880 municipal governments
00:23:00.080 love to waste
00:23:01.120 tax dollars on.
00:23:02.920 If you could give
00:23:03.600 three pieces of
00:23:04.840 advice to Mayor
00:23:05.900 John Tory to get
00:23:06.740 control back of
00:23:08.000 his city from
00:23:08.780 the gangs,
00:23:09.320 what would you
00:23:09.740 say?
00:23:10.260 Stop being
00:23:10.800 politically correct
00:23:11.740 would be the
00:23:12.340 first one.
00:23:14.240 You know,
00:23:14.560 he needs to
00:23:15.440 get out of the
00:23:17.360 way of the
00:23:17.820 police service
00:23:18.480 doing their
00:23:19.340 job.
00:23:20.360 As soon as
00:23:21.180 politicians start
00:23:22.140 messing around
00:23:22.960 with things,
00:23:23.940 it makes it
00:23:24.620 harder for police
00:23:25.600 to do their
00:23:26.460 job.
00:23:27.100 Look at the
00:23:27.480 situation from
00:23:28.180 last week in
00:23:29.060 Portland when
00:23:31.100 that journalist
00:23:33.080 was attacked by
00:23:34.440 the Antifa mob.
00:23:35.700 You know,
00:23:35.880 the police union
00:23:37.560 have since said
00:23:38.300 that they were
00:23:38.760 told to stand
00:23:39.480 down.
00:23:40.400 You know,
00:23:40.580 that's just
00:23:41.320 political
00:23:41.680 interference.
00:23:42.640 And John Tory
00:23:43.320 does that to
00:23:44.240 a fairly well.
00:23:46.620 Okay,
00:23:47.060 that's your
00:23:47.360 first one.
00:23:47.980 Stop being
00:23:48.400 politically correct.
00:23:50.140 Second one?
00:23:51.060 Well,
00:23:51.340 it was kind of
00:23:51.860 the second one
00:23:52.480 too,
00:23:52.820 which is get
00:23:53.240 out of the
00:23:54.140 way of the
00:23:54.560 police department.
00:23:55.980 Let them do
00:23:56.940 their job.
00:23:57.880 They're the
00:23:58.180 professionals.
00:23:59.260 They know who
00:23:59.740 they're dealing
00:24:00.260 with.
00:24:00.640 They have the
00:24:02.380 raw intelligence
00:24:03.080 from the
00:24:03.480 communities.
00:24:04.520 They know who
00:24:05.020 the bad guys
00:24:05.720 are.
00:24:06.540 Let them go
00:24:06.920 get them.
00:24:08.180 You know,
00:24:08.480 and the third
00:24:09.160 thing is that
00:24:10.000 in Toronto,
00:24:11.540 you've got
00:24:14.080 a situation
00:24:14.760 there where
00:24:15.360 the police
00:24:17.380 are not
00:24:18.360 allowed to
00:24:18.880 charge for
00:24:19.460 what they
00:24:19.840 call
00:24:20.220 lower level
00:24:23.140 offenses.
00:24:24.880 As Giuliani
00:24:26.000 proved in
00:24:26.600 New York
00:24:26.920 when he
00:24:27.180 cleaned up
00:24:27.600 Times Square
00:24:28.220 in the 90s,
00:24:29.440 when he
00:24:30.220 used the
00:24:30.560 broken windows
00:24:31.320 theory,
00:24:32.180 and that
00:24:32.820 theory says
00:24:33.520 that whenever
00:24:34.140 you get them
00:24:34.720 doing anything
00:24:35.460 wrong,
00:24:36.020 you charge
00:24:36.560 them.
00:24:37.540 No matter
00:24:38.220 how small
00:24:38.960 you charge
00:24:39.600 them,
00:24:39.780 you put
00:24:40.060 them in
00:24:40.760 front of
00:24:41.080 a judge,
00:24:41.840 sooner or
00:24:42.420 later that
00:24:42.820 he has
00:24:43.200 amassed
00:24:44.120 enough offenses
00:24:44.860 that a judge
00:24:45.480 will put
00:24:45.820 them away.
00:24:47.340 One thing
00:24:48.060 I know
00:24:48.400 for certain
00:24:48.980 is that a
00:24:49.680 criminal
00:24:50.080 doesn't commit
00:24:51.380 crimes when
00:24:51.940 they're in
00:24:52.180 jail.
00:24:53.880 That's a
00:24:54.560 great point.
00:24:55.160 I would
00:24:55.480 throw in
00:24:55.900 a fourth
00:24:56.440 one,
00:24:57.000 and that
00:24:57.280 is implore
00:24:58.460 the federal
00:24:58.960 government to
00:24:59.620 tighten up
00:24:59.980 the border.
00:25:00.760 That's where
00:25:01.060 the guns
00:25:01.420 are coming
00:25:01.820 from.
00:25:02.400 That's where
00:25:03.000 a lot of
00:25:03.400 the criminals
00:25:03.800 are coming
00:25:04.240 across.
00:25:05.240 That's where
00:25:05.700 a lot of
00:25:06.020 the social
00:25:06.360 problems are
00:25:07.240 coming across
00:25:07.940 the border.
00:25:09.400 Flooding
00:25:09.800 Toronto,
00:25:11.760 and just
00:25:12.240 overwhelming
00:25:12.720 Toronto
00:25:13.180 services.
00:25:14.120 When you
00:25:14.460 overwhelm
00:25:14.960 Toronto
00:25:15.340 services,
00:25:16.340 crime happens
00:25:16.960 after the
00:25:17.440 fact.
00:25:18.440 Leo,
00:25:18.920 I want to
00:25:19.220 thank you.
00:25:19.860 I was
00:25:20.580 just going
00:25:20.840 to say
00:25:21.100 I agree
00:25:21.500 with you,
00:25:21.820 but part
00:25:22.100 of the
00:25:22.300 problem
00:25:22.540 there is
00:25:22.880 politicians
00:25:24.960 as well.
00:25:26.240 Canadian
00:25:26.720 border
00:25:27.140 service,
00:25:29.040 if you
00:25:29.940 try to
00:25:30.600 cross a
00:25:31.060 border at
00:25:31.660 a point
00:25:31.960 of entry,
00:25:32.840 you will
00:25:33.200 speak to
00:25:33.680 a border
00:25:34.300 officer,
00:25:35.100 a customs
00:25:35.540 official.
00:25:36.440 If you
00:25:37.200 go 50
00:25:37.860 yards to
00:25:38.440 the west
00:25:38.860 or east
00:25:39.420 of a
00:25:39.780 border entry
00:25:40.420 and illegally
00:25:41.560 cross the
00:25:42.160 border,
00:25:42.820 that same
00:25:43.260 customs
00:25:43.660 official can't
00:25:44.360 go and
00:25:44.640 stop you.
00:25:45.520 He has
00:25:45.880 to call
00:25:47.240 the local
00:25:48.580 police
00:25:48.960 organization
00:25:49.560 who will
00:25:49.940 try and
00:25:50.300 respond and
00:25:50.880 then find
00:25:51.400 what you're
00:25:52.120 doing.
00:25:52.580 It's so
00:25:53.140 easy to
00:25:53.740 smuggle
00:25:54.400 weapons and
00:25:55.340 drugs into
00:25:55.980 Canada.
00:25:56.440 It's
00:25:56.540 unbelievable.
00:25:57.800 And the
00:25:58.520 politicians,
00:25:59.320 the bureaucratic
00:25:59.900 directive is
00:26:00.580 preventing the
00:26:01.640 border patrol
00:26:02.280 from doing
00:26:02.960 their job.
00:26:04.660 That's a
00:26:05.200 great,
00:26:05.780 great,
00:26:06.340 great point.
00:26:07.080 I mean,
00:26:07.860 Canadian
00:26:08.460 safety and
00:26:09.800 Canadian public
00:26:10.520 safety is
00:26:10.980 really hamstrung
00:26:11.800 by politics,
00:26:12.640 as you so
00:26:13.040 rightly point
00:26:13.640 out.
00:26:13.900 Leo,
00:26:14.180 I want to
00:26:14.560 thank you so
00:26:14.940 much for
00:26:15.240 coming on
00:26:15.540 the show
00:26:15.760 today.
00:26:16.440 People can
00:26:17.100 find you at
00:26:18.020 TNC News,
00:26:19.680 but where else
00:26:20.600 can they also
00:26:21.020 find you?
00:26:21.720 My website is
00:26:22.720 primetimecrime.com,
00:26:24.900 and it's
00:26:25.900 updated on a
00:26:26.700 daily basis,
00:26:27.840 and pretty much
00:26:28.620 anything I write
00:26:29.520 or broadcast
00:26:31.060 is clipped
00:26:32.860 there as
00:26:33.260 well.
00:26:34.360 Great.
00:26:34.840 Leo,
00:26:35.080 thank you so
00:26:35.500 much for your
00:26:35.920 time,
00:26:36.180 and we'll
00:26:36.640 talk again.
00:26:37.580 All right.
00:26:37.940 Thanks,
00:26:38.180 Sheila.
00:26:39.180 Stay with us
00:26:39.980 more up next
00:26:40.680 after the
00:26:41.140 break.
00:26:41.360 This is the
00:26:52.360 part of the
00:26:52.760 show where we
00:26:53.260 look back at
00:26:53.980 some of your
00:26:54.900 viewer comments
00:26:55.780 and your
00:26:56.480 feedback that
00:26:57.660 you've left
00:26:58.080 on some of
00:26:58.640 our videos.
00:27:00.160 On Ezra's
00:27:00.840 interview with
00:27:01.900 the fabulous
00:27:02.900 Barbara Kay
00:27:03.660 about parents
00:27:04.280 objecting to
00:27:05.460 confusing gender
00:27:06.520 ideology being
00:27:07.460 taught to their
00:27:08.180 children in
00:27:09.120 school,
00:27:10.120 Liza Rosie
00:27:10.840 writes,
00:27:11.940 good interview
00:27:13.000 with Barbara
00:27:13.900 Kay.
00:27:14.540 She is
00:27:15.160 absolutely right,
00:27:16.280 and I appreciate
00:27:16.960 her dedication
00:27:18.000 and honesty.
00:27:19.660 We need people
00:27:20.360 who are not
00:27:21.240 afraid to
00:27:22.000 question the
00:27:23.280 manufactured
00:27:23.940 narrative being
00:27:24.760 pushed on
00:27:25.580 society by
00:27:27.000 misguided,
00:27:28.040 weaponized
00:27:28.740 minorities.
00:27:30.400 Barbara Kay
00:27:31.000 is a national
00:27:32.500 treasure,
00:27:33.400 and like
00:27:33.720 Canada's
00:27:34.360 grandma,
00:27:35.300 she takes
00:27:35.680 on these
00:27:36.020 complex and
00:27:36.760 contentious
00:27:37.420 social issues
00:27:38.500 with common
00:27:39.340 sense,
00:27:39.920 thoughtfulness,
00:27:40.620 and especially
00:27:41.680 compassion.
00:27:43.080 Kay takes
00:27:43.480 a lot of
00:27:43.820 heat for
00:27:44.180 speaking up
00:27:44.720 and a lot
00:27:45.480 of people
00:27:45.900 are trying
00:27:46.460 to silence
00:27:46.980 her,
00:27:47.540 but she
00:27:47.860 keeps speaking
00:27:48.640 up for
00:27:49.460 what's right.
00:27:50.640 You know,
00:27:50.880 some days
00:27:51.400 I'm actually
00:27:52.520 quite surprised
00:27:53.460 that she
00:27:53.880 even still
00:27:54.400 has a job
00:27:55.080 at the
00:27:55.440 National
00:27:55.800 Post.
00:27:57.320 I'm a
00:27:57.880 big,
00:27:58.200 big fan
00:27:58.840 of Barbara
00:27:59.300 Kay,
00:27:59.540 as you
00:27:59.760 can tell.
00:28:00.900 As you
00:28:01.300 know,
00:28:01.540 I'm filling
00:28:01.860 in for
00:28:02.160 Ezra today
00:28:02.660 because he's
00:28:03.120 over in
00:28:03.460 the UK
00:28:03.800 covering the
00:28:04.420 Tommy Robinson
00:28:05.140 trial,
00:28:05.720 and before
00:28:06.920 they went
00:28:07.300 to court
00:28:07.860 yesterday,
00:28:09.400 Ezra did
00:28:09.780 a quick
00:28:10.060 interview
00:28:10.460 with Tommy.
00:28:11.300 On that
00:28:12.300 interview,
00:28:13.020 Karen McLeod
00:28:13.780 wrote,
00:28:14.800 Tommy Robinson
00:28:15.620 is going
00:28:16.340 to die
00:28:17.000 for free
00:28:17.700 speech in
00:28:18.260 2019,
00:28:19.380 the United
00:28:19.920 Kingdom.
00:28:20.740 Let that
00:28:21.260 sink in,
00:28:22.180 death.
00:28:22.580 He is most
00:28:23.340 likely going
00:28:24.100 to die in
00:28:24.600 jail where
00:28:25.400 he can be
00:28:25.880 tortured and
00:28:26.860 starved to
00:28:27.340 death.
00:28:27.680 If this
00:28:28.280 doesn't make
00:28:29.160 you cry,
00:28:30.360 nothing will.
00:28:32.040 You know,
00:28:32.360 Karen,
00:28:32.580 it is my
00:28:33.380 concern that
00:28:34.800 you could
00:28:35.380 be right.
00:28:36.280 I think it's
00:28:36.720 a real
00:28:36.960 possibility in
00:28:38.500 Tommy Robinson's
00:28:39.620 future that he
00:28:40.560 dies in jail.
00:28:41.620 Either he will
00:28:42.120 die behind bars
00:28:43.000 for doing
00:28:43.420 journalism or
00:28:44.160 he will die
00:28:44.700 in the street
00:28:45.280 as a result
00:28:46.240 of one of
00:28:46.820 the frequent
00:28:47.880 death threats
00:28:48.680 he receives
00:28:49.560 against himself
00:28:50.420 and his
00:28:51.640 family.
00:28:52.660 And I think
00:28:53.000 this persecution
00:28:53.700 of him for
00:28:54.500 speaking up
00:28:55.780 against rape
00:28:56.900 crimes and
00:28:57.640 rape gangs,
00:28:58.760 it's not going
00:28:59.440 to end because
00:29:00.240 him speaking up,
00:29:01.940 it embarrasses
00:29:02.740 the state for
00:29:03.520 their inaction
00:29:04.200 for so many
00:29:04.920 years while
00:29:05.400 so many young
00:29:06.100 girls were
00:29:07.280 victimized right
00:29:08.380 under their
00:29:08.800 noses.
00:29:09.680 I hope you're
00:29:10.120 wrong,
00:29:10.560 Karen,
00:29:11.160 for freedom's
00:29:11.800 sake, for
00:29:12.200 Tommy's sake,
00:29:12.900 and for the
00:29:13.260 sake of his
00:29:13.740 young family,
00:29:15.440 but I suspect
00:29:16.100 you could be
00:29:16.680 right.
00:29:17.440 Well,
00:29:17.740 everybody,
00:29:18.200 on that dark
00:29:19.520 and gloomy
00:29:19.960 note, I want
00:29:20.920 to thank
00:29:21.280 everybody for
00:29:22.200 tuning in.
00:29:22.780 I want to
00:29:23.140 thank the
00:29:23.960 office in
00:29:24.760 Toronto for
00:29:25.380 bearing with
00:29:25.920 me on the
00:29:26.580 show today.
00:29:27.700 I want to
00:29:28.140 thank Ezra for
00:29:29.140 trusting me to
00:29:30.040 be in the
00:29:30.380 driver's seat.
00:29:30.980 one more
00:29:32.020 time while he
00:29:32.800 does the job
00:29:33.960 the UK media
00:29:34.760 just refuses to
00:29:35.700 do over in
00:29:36.580 the UK.
00:29:37.480 Happy late
00:29:38.080 Independence Day
00:29:39.000 greetings to our
00:29:40.080 American friends,
00:29:41.500 viewers, and
00:29:42.240 allies, and
00:29:43.000 remember, don't
00:29:44.120 let the government
00:29:44.700 tell you that
00:29:45.360 you've had too
00:29:45.920 much to think.
00:30:00.980 come on again.
00:30:03.820 I feel like that
00:30:04.920 there's no
00:30:05.980 rapture of
00:30:06.440 la cour sizable
00:30:07.280 laud da
00:30:07.960 don't
00:30:09.080 energize
00:30:10.920 in the
00:30:11.520 show today.
00:30:12.220 See you
