Rebel News Podcast - Canada's greatest strengths are under attack by Justin Trudeau

00:00:00.000 Hello, Rebels. Today is my Canada Day show, and welcome to the podcast.

00:00:04.420 Before I get out of the way, please consider becoming a premium subscriber.

00:00:07.740 It's eight bucks a month, and we put all the money to producing the good stuff.

00:00:11.980 You can get that at the rebel.media slash shows.

00:00:16.100 Thanks. Here's the episode.

00:00:18.140 You're listening to a Rebel Media podcast.

00:00:21.340 Happy Canada Day. It's July 1st, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:00:25.040 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:30.820 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:34.880 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.

00:00:45.920 Look, we like to complain that's part of politics, but this really is the best country in the world.

00:00:49.760 Friendly, peaceful, safe, beautiful, large, and it's our home.

00:00:53.240 Today is Canada Day, Dominion Day, as it's properly called, and for a media company that criticizes, it's worth taking a moment to praise.

00:01:01.020 But, and maybe this is obvious, the reason we criticize is because we think that many of the things we love about Canada are in jeopardy.

00:01:08.180 Donald Trump's motto in the States was, make America great again, and in a lot of important ways, America had fallen back from greatness.

00:01:16.840 It was disrespected abroad.

00:01:18.940 It had a growing malaise at home economically.

00:01:22.280 There were great swaths of the United States that the coastal elites were content to write off as a rust belt and tell factory workers just to learn how to code.

00:01:30.440 The idea that America could be great again, say, as an industrial power was a laugh to all the experts.

00:01:36.580 Barack Obama said, you'd need a magic wand.

00:01:39.500 He's going to bring all these jobs back.

00:01:42.680 Well, how exactly are you going to do that?

00:01:44.140 What are you going to do?

00:01:46.300 There's no answer to it.

00:01:49.040 He just says, well, I'm going to negotiate a better deal.

00:01:51.880 Well, how exactly are you going to negotiate that?

00:01:56.440 What magic wand do you have?

00:01:59.660 Well, abracadabra.

00:02:00.780 It didn't take a wand.

00:02:02.640 It took a government to get its foot off the neck of the country's entrepreneurs.

00:02:07.300 So what about here in Canada?

00:02:09.240 Funny enough, we own the rights to the slogan, make Canada great again.

00:02:13.540 And we have little hats to that effect.

00:02:15.160 It was a bit of a lark, a riff, an homage to Trump's slogan.

00:02:18.160 But I think there's some truth to it, too.

00:02:19.780 More with having passing day of Trudeau's leadership.

00:02:22.400 Trump commands the respect and the friendship of many world leaders, especially in the global wave of populist nationalists.

00:02:29.640 Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro has turned that country from an anti-America, a hateful socialist den into, I think, the most pro-U.S. boosters in the world, with the possible exception of Israel.

00:02:43.260 Trump has a raft of Eastern European leaders strongly by him, especially in patriotic countries like Poland.

00:02:50.020 The globalist leaders like France's Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Angela Merkel, well, not so much, but so what?

00:02:55.960 Their own citizens hate them, too.

00:02:57.740 So it's no losses, riots literally every week for more than half a year now in France.

00:03:02.860 Trump is taking on China in a way that no one thought was possible, cutting up their economy from access to the crucial U.S. market.

00:03:10.820 Trump has boosted oil and gas production so much that America is now a net exporter.

00:03:16.020 And that's putting real pressure on a lot of bad guys from Russia's Vladimir Putin to the OPEC dictatorships. 0.70

00:03:22.300 But Trump isn't jingoistically against those countries either.

00:03:25.700 I think he genuinely wants to have a working relationship with most countries, including Putin.

00:03:30.460 It's just hard to look at anything in a relationship with Russia without thinking of the massive conspiracy theory, the fake news in the past two years,

00:03:38.060 namely the allegation that Trump worked with the Russians in the 2016 election.

00:03:41.800 I just love this little moment from the G20.

00:03:46.920 I thought that was funny.

00:03:56.400 And Trump is trying to put together a coalition of more moderate Muslim countries against terrorism

00:04:00.960 and to contain Iran the same way he's trying to contain and disarm North Korea.

00:04:05.220 So I think Make America Great Again really is a meaningful slogan in terms of trade and energy and factories and foreign affairs.

00:04:12.280 Canada, pretty much the opposite.

00:04:14.500 I mean, did you see this craziness just the other day?

00:04:16.680 A politically powerful governor in India who happens, obviously, to be a proud Sikh himself.

00:04:24.640 He's literally calling for sanctions against Canada.

00:04:30.240 Have you ever heard that before?

00:04:32.360 Because he says Canada, under Trudeau, has become too chummy with Sikh separatists, he says.

00:04:38.020 And it's tough to disagree with that diagnosis.

00:04:41.280 I mean, Trudeau really did bring that convicted terrorist on the right there.

00:04:45.540 His name is Jaspal Atwal, along with him to India last time.

00:04:49.160 It's just nuts that he did that.

00:04:51.560 India, the second biggest country in the world by population.

00:04:53.760 And then there's China.

00:04:55.320 We know they have had our hostages for more than a year.

00:04:59.860 Did you see the news just the other day?

00:05:01.200 Chinese military jets buzzed a Canadian warship coming within a few hundred meters of the ship in a massive show of force.

00:05:08.720 That's nuts!

00:05:10.060 But no more nuts than China banning all Canadian agriculture, really.

00:05:13.660 And Trudeau really not doing anything about it.

00:05:16.280 And from all indications, when Chrystia Freeland went on the radio to beg diplomats to return her calls,

00:05:21.560 well, I don't think they have yet.

00:05:23.760 I have sought repeatedly a meeting with Wang Yi, the foreign minister, my counterpart.

00:05:31.540 Thus far, that meeting hasn't happened.

00:05:34.140 But if Chinese officials are listening to us today,

00:05:37.180 let me repeat that I would be very keen to meet with Minister Wang Yi or to speak with him over the phone at the earliest opportunity.

00:05:50.880 Yeah, he's just not that into you, girlfriend.

00:05:55.980 So that's foreign affairs.

00:05:57.300 But of course, most of our lives as Canadians is our lives in Canada, not really caring about foreign countries.

00:06:03.900 And in Canada, entire industries, entire regions have been written off by Trudeau, namely oil and gas and pipelines and mining.

00:06:09.640 And Trudeau ran through anti-industry bills over the objection of a majority of provinces with a majority of the population and the economy of the country to indulge this kook.

00:06:19.420 Instead of just looking at the environmental impacts, we'll look at how a project could affect our communities and health, jobs and the economy over the long term, and we'll also do a gender-based analysis.

00:06:31.300 Gender-based analysis on new mining projects in Canada.

00:06:36.920 I'm sure there'd be lining up at the New York Stock Exchange to invest in mining projects in Canada.

00:06:45.460 Needed gender analysis. 1.00

00:06:47.120 Oh, my God.

00:06:48.260 Can you imagine that?

00:06:50.780 So you've got the gutting of the most important resource industries in Canada.

00:06:54.320 And you're replacing those real jobs with crony capitalism.

00:06:56.980 Basically handouts to friends of Trudeau, like the $12 million in free fridges given to Loblaws, one of the richest companies, the Westins, one of the richest families.

00:07:07.280 You know, we can see you're paying that bribe, right?

00:07:10.680 We can see you, right?

00:07:12.900 A dozen years ago, we called Jean Chrétien and his team the Libranos after Tony Soprano's mafia family.

00:07:19.640 Well, I think that fits again, the corruption, the bribes, especially the whole SNC-Lavalin scandal

00:07:24.480 and Trudeau's attempt to get the Attorney General to drop the case against his friends is crazy.

00:07:30.320 So that's why we fight, because we love Canada and we hate what is being done to it.

00:07:34.700 And because part of Canada is free speech and part of our duty is to criticize and oppose the worst of a government's instincts.

00:07:40.800 That's why it's called a loyal opposition.

00:07:42.880 We love Canada.

00:07:43.620 We just disagree with a particular set of politicians.

00:07:46.660 That's a democratic duty, I think, regrettably.

00:07:48.800 There are fewer and fewer of us doing it, in the media at least, as so many media companies have agreed to be rented out by Trudeau

00:07:56.000 as part of his $600 million media bailout, which is on top of his $1.5 million bailout each year to the CBC.

00:08:04.600 The watchdogs have been bribed.

00:08:06.720 They're lapdogs now.

00:08:08.000 It's just us at The Rebel and a handful of other independent media. 0.82

00:08:11.380 And you, of course.

00:08:12.840 You, grassroots Canadians.

00:08:14.040 Today's Canada Day, a day to remember what we love about Canada and why, and to rededicate ourselves to fighting for it.

00:08:20.460 In the weeks ahead, we'll show you some exciting new changes we're bringing to The Rebels,

00:08:24.200 including, believe it or not, a new name, a new logo, and a brand new website.

00:08:29.400 Watch for those later this month.

00:08:31.380 And in this important election year, watch for some very special projects

00:08:34.340 that only we in this whole country, I believe, are equipped to do.

00:08:38.380 Things that I hope will make our country stronger.

00:08:42.720 Stay with us for more.

00:08:44.040 Well, in the last five years, the issue of transgenderism has gone from an obscure fringe to the center of the culture.

00:09:05.960 I kid you not, it was only after a vote by a small committee of the highly political American Psychiatric Association

00:09:12.560 delisted transgenderism as a mental disease that it became a political fashion and then a political requirement. 0.91

00:09:21.900 And not just for avant-garde Hollywood shows like Transparent, not just for Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner,

00:09:29.700 but in our schools, teaching children of tender years, kids as young as six.

00:09:37.020 And the most troubling story I've heard yet on this file comes from our friend Barbara Kay,

00:09:43.320 columnist at the National Post and the Post-Millennium.

00:09:46.440 She has an article a few days ago in the National Post.

00:09:48.820 Let me read the headline to you.

00:09:49.880 It's called, When Gender Identity, Education, and Theory Goes Wrong.

00:09:55.920 And she joins us now via Skype.

00:09:57.560 Barbara, great to see you again.

00:09:58.700 A very troubling story.

00:09:59.820 It is indeed, Ezra.

00:10:01.960 Thanks for having me on.

00:10:03.220 Well, it's our duty to have you on to talk about this.

00:10:06.900 Can you tell me about the family, a mom and dad named Pamela and Jason Bafoni, if I'm pronouncing

00:10:12.660 the name right.

00:10:13.520 And they have a six-year-old daughter who we know only as N.

00:10:18.420 She was in the Ottawa Carlton School Board.

00:10:22.500 Tell us what happened to the six-year-old girl.

00:10:27.060 According to the mother and their statement of claim to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario,

00:10:34.120 this is a child that was happy in school, also very comfortable in her biological skin,

00:10:39.760 had never for one second shown the slightest interest in or confusion over discussion about

00:10:46.300 her gender identity.

00:10:48.160 So one day comes home from school last January, in fact, and starts and was in a state of some

00:10:54.880 distress.

00:10:55.800 Her teacher had told the class, they had started a program in gender studies or whatever, and

00:11:01.480 the teacher had told the class that there's no such thing as boys and girls.

00:11:06.160 She said to the class, girls aren't real and boys aren't real, according to this child,

00:11:11.560 who was extremely distressed over it and continued to be distressed over a period of weeks as these

00:11:18.820 lessons went on and, in fact, asked her parents if she could go to a doctor because she was concerned

00:11:26.840 about the fact that she was not a real girl.

00:11:29.580 So these parents, of course, very concerned themselves, went to see the teacher.

00:11:37.280 The teacher defended her program.

00:11:39.100 She didn't deny that she had said this.

00:11:40.820 And she said, this is the way the world is now, and we have to teach about these things.

00:11:46.140 This is, you know, in fact, an educational program I'm doing.

00:11:51.980 I'm sorry.

00:11:52.360 You know, she didn't even care. 0.99

00:11:54.480 The parents had said, look, if you're affirming the gender identity of those with gender dysphoria,

00:12:00.220 can you not affirm those who do not have gender dysphoria, who feel content to be who they are

00:12:07.020 in sync with their biological?

00:12:08.800 No, that was not her issue at all.

00:12:11.260 And they got no joy from her.

00:12:13.780 The principal backed her up to the hilt.

00:12:16.800 So eventually the parents went up the ladder, up the hierarchy, and ended up with the superintendent

00:12:20.520 of schools who also defended this program.

00:12:24.600 In frustration, they did launch this.

00:12:28.040 They took their daughter out of the school, put her in a parochial school where she is content 0.82

00:12:34.280 these lessons, their gender fluidity is not being taught in this school, and she is happy

00:12:39.600 again at the school.

00:12:41.100 You know, it's just to tell a six-year-old that.

00:12:44.420 I mean, children are not ready to handle these heaviest of matters.

00:12:52.140 Children are pre-sexual. 0.96

00:12:55.160 To force such bizarre sexual thoughts on a child is, I would say, tantamount to child abuse.

00:13:02.780 There's so many things we protect children from.

00:13:06.500 We don't even, we, in fact, try and extend the amount of time that kids believe in Santa

00:13:12.180 Claus or the Tooth Fairy because that's part of being a child.

00:13:15.460 And not that those are important things, but we try and have this age of innocence.

00:13:21.580 And it's not just that we're sexualizing these kids.

00:13:25.760 We're telling them lies.

00:13:27.780 Ninety-nine point something percent of people are fine being boys or girls.

00:13:33.260 I'm not even talking about being gay.

00:13:35.400 I'm just saying you're a boy or you're a girl. 0.71

00:13:38.020 And so it's not even that this is grossly inappropriate.

00:13:41.720 It's a lie also.

00:13:43.960 It is a lie.

00:13:45.400 But what is even more disturbing to me is the impulse behind these programs.

00:13:50.300 I'm not accusing this particular teacher.

00:13:51.920 She's just drunk the Kool-Aid because she went through teacher's college, and they're

00:13:56.600 now escalating the intensity of these ideological fantasies and encouraging teachers to make

00:14:04.680 them front and center as part of their educational material.

00:14:08.660 What bothers me is the people that made up these lessons.

00:14:13.620 They are driven, in my opinion, by an impulse of voyeurism.

00:14:18.560 Voyeurism is a wish to see sexual fantasies played out in other people.

00:14:27.300 And people that have this sort of sense of voyeurism with regard to children are very eager to see

00:14:34.600 young children who have never considered anything like sexual desire, because as you say there

00:14:39.780 in the latency period, wish to see these children exposed to ideas that where they can see this

00:14:47.080 dawning recognition of something that they didn't ask for, that they had no wish for, and yet is now

00:14:53.260 entering their thoughts.

00:14:54.760 And they get a kick out of it.

00:14:56.180 As I say, not this particular teacher.

00:14:58.620 But the people that devise this, they themselves, there's something very unhealthy going on in their

00:15:04.900 heads, and I find it very disturbing.

00:15:07.540 Well, I mean, let's go to the next step and remind our viewers that Ben Levin, who was the

00:15:14.180 deputy minister of education under the previous liberal government, whose department revised

00:15:20.760 the sex ed curriculum, he was convicted of child pornography.

00:15:26.820 He was convicted of, and it's so horrific, I'm sorry to say it, but I have to say it because

00:15:32.620 it actually happened, he was trying to recruit other families' children, and he even said

00:15:39.760 he had sexual designs on his own grandchildren.

00:15:43.560 This is Ben Levin, who was convicted and sentenced to prison.

00:15:47.020 He was in charge of the curriculum for Ontario.

00:15:51.020 Yeah, and you know what?

00:15:52.060 Yeah, everybody said that was, oh, no, no, no, that's irrelevant.

00:15:54.980 It's not irrelevant.

00:15:55.900 It's not irrelevant.

00:15:56.680 There is something unhealthy, very unwholesome at work in a program that targets children

00:16:04.260 for revelations about sexual desire at an age when they should not be thinking.

00:16:10.020 And they do have to talk about sexual desire, because you can't talk about certain things

00:16:14.740 like homosexuality without a child understanding what sexual desire is. 0.78

00:16:19.760 Yeah, it's so, I mean, my first objection is how young it is, but my second is that what

00:16:28.380 they're telling them is weaponized sexual politics. 0.97

00:16:31.740 There's something else in your essay I want to read.

00:16:35.580 You mention, I'm just going to read a passage, you say, one respondent who wishes anonymity told

00:16:42.040 me her son's story of a boy who came home one day and announced he was, quote, pansexual

00:16:51.800 and a demi-girl.

00:16:54.220 These are made-up words, by the way.

00:16:56.620 And here's the key part.

00:16:57.820 This is, the parents see a psychologist.

00:17:02.040 When she was told the name of the school and teacher, the therapist exclaimed,

00:17:05.980 you are the seventh set of parents from that class who have come to me with this problem.

00:17:12.040 This is not teaching.

00:17:14.660 This is what the most caricatured, prudish accusation, oh, they're recruiting young people. 0.94

00:17:27.080 The caricature of the sex ed prude was someone who said, oh, they're trying to gay our youth 0.89

00:17:33.300 or they're trying to sexualize our youth, they're trying to come for our youth. 0.98

00:17:36.360 And people would laugh and say, oh, stop being such a prude. 0.92

00:17:38.820 I'm sorry, when you have one teacher flip on a bizarre sexual light switch of seven kids 0.85

00:17:46.020 in elementary school, what else is that?

00:17:50.720 And it's grooming, Ezra.

00:17:53.160 It's grooming.

00:17:53.720 And it's, it's, it's, it's, it's turning young minds into, it's recruiting.

00:18:01.380 And it's also to get them thinking all the time, all the time about gender, sex, gender, sex.

00:18:09.780 That's, that's what they're, I call it grooming because, as you say, it's, it's, it's sexualizing

00:18:17.580 children before they're ready.

00:18:19.400 And yeah, I find it very abusive and, and I find it also to be a kind of mass delusion

00:18:25.620 because you have people right up to the superintendent of schools who thinks this is okay.

00:18:29.580 Yeah.

00:18:30.340 In years to come, we'll look back on this as, as a very serious, a very serious widespread

00:18:37.400 contagion that, that is, is terrible.

00:18:40.580 You know, I have a friend in Ottawa who resigned from the board of their major children's hospital

00:18:45.320 there when he saw how they had a proactive program to pump these kids, like they, so these

00:18:51.920 kids come in and instead of talking them down, they pump them full of meds to transition children 0.95

00:18:59.080 of tender years into boys or girls that they're not.

00:19:02.380 He quit the board, he was, of the hospital, he was so disgusted with.

00:19:05.960 So it's not just mind games, they're, they're pumping these children full of meds.

00:19:12.620 And if you dare speak against this, I guess they don't call you an Islamophobe, they call

00:19:16.960 you, I don't know what they call you.

00:19:18.440 A transphobe. 0.98

00:19:19.280 Yeah, a transphobe.

00:19:20.060 Yeah, that's the, that's the new thing.

00:19:21.800 I, I find this deeply troubling.

00:19:24.260 Yeah.

00:19:26.320 When's the pushback?

00:19:27.500 Where's the pushback coming from?

00:19:28.960 I think a lot of new Canadians, new immigrants from more socially conservative countries,

00:19:37.520 I think that instead of fighting in a noisy way, they're just withdrawing.

00:19:42.180 I know that there were some schools, heavily Muslim schools in the Toronto area, where literally

00:19:47.120 hundreds of Muslim kids were removed from the public school over the Kathleen Wynne sex ed. 1.00

00:19:53.900 I see in the United Kingdom, in Birmingham, schools that are 90 plus percent Muslim, they're

00:20:00.540 actually having noisy protests.

00:20:02.080 We have, we're not at that stage yet here in Canada.

00:20:04.220 I think old stock Canadians, to use a phrase, I think that they are too politically correct 1.00

00:20:10.300 to put up a fight.

00:20:11.720 Maybe it's newcomers, maybe it's Chinese or Muslim or South Asian newcomers who are going 1.00

00:20:16.320 to say, don't do that to my kid.

00:20:18.220 Yeah, they, they would have no compunction about, about saying it out loud.

00:20:21.600 One of the reasons that I think that parents here are to tip, first of all, I would say

00:20:26.220 90% of parents have no idea this is going on, because even though a lot of kids are having

00:20:31.420 confusing thoughts, they don't, they don't tell their parents about it.

00:20:35.320 And by the way, the parents are not informed prior to these lessons about the materials,

00:20:40.940 in fact, that these lessons are going on, or nor are they informed about the materials

00:20:45.340 that are being used.

00:20:46.200 But even when the parents do know, and even when they are upset about it, they have fears

00:20:51.060 and, and they're not unreasonable fears that if they complain, uh, that the schools will,

00:20:56.880 uh, they get very hostile schools and they tell the kids, by the way, they say, your,

00:21:02.000 your parents, uh, uh, are not in charge of this.

00:21:05.360 And if you want to, if you want to, uh, be a boy at school or a girl at school, you don't 0.97

00:21:10.400 have to tell your parents, we won't tell them.

00:21:12.260 And, and, and more, moreover, uh, if some parent does complain too much, uh, they, uh,

00:21:19.580 they will threaten to call social services and they might even do so.

00:21:23.100 And in fact, I know one, one person, one mother, uh, they, they did call social services.

00:21:28.580 She won her case in the end, but she had to actually go to court over it, uh, because

00:21:32.020 she objected to these materials.

00:21:34.040 That is shocking.

00:21:34.920 You know what?

00:21:35.580 You made me think of two things in Alberta.

00:21:37.760 There was a controversy because they have these gay straight alliances and those are

00:21:42.160 typically in high school, but, and, and they're run by sexual activists, grownups talking about

00:21:49.340 sexuality with, with kids who are, uh, not of age.

00:21:54.800 And these clubs have a secrecy clause, basically a non-disclosure clause.

00:22:00.720 And in Alberta, under Rachel Notley, it was illegal to, illegal for a teacher to even

00:22:08.880 contact a parent, even if the teacher was worried.

00:22:12.420 And so the secrecy is a key element here because what they're doing to the children would,

00:22:18.360 they know it would never be countenance by the parents.

00:22:21.160 I don't want to go off on a tangent, but, but you've made me think of Pavlik Morozov.

00:22:26.240 Do you know who I'm talking about?

00:22:27.840 Informant number one in the Soviet Union, uh, when Stalin was forcibly collectivizing the

00:22:34.220 farms in Ukraine, uh, I don't know if the story is a legend, if it's apocryphal or if

00:22:41.160 it really happened by, but a young boy named Pavlik Morozov, who wasn't even 10, if I recall,

00:22:47.360 overheard his parents criticizing Stalin's plans.

00:22:50.540 And he reported his own parents to the state and they were sent to the gulag and he was

00:22:57.420 given an honorific by Stalin.

00:22:59.960 They called him informant number one.

00:23:03.000 And from that moment on, Boy Scouts in the Soviet Union, the young pioneers would wear a

00:23:08.920 little lapel pin with the face of Pavlik Morozov.

00:23:12.720 And he was held up as the role model for all Soviet boys, that it is a higher noble patriotism

00:23:21.940 to turn your parents into the government for what they say in your own house.

00:23:26.880 That is the highest honor.

00:23:29.840 And this maintained until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989 for, for almost, what's that?

00:23:37.020 For almost 60 years, the Soviets taught their children to betray their own parents. 0.87

00:23:43.860 You gave me a flicker of that when you said they go after the parents and threaten to take

00:23:49.040 the kids away.

00:23:49.740 That's, that's informant number one in the Soviet Union.

00:23:52.940 Yeah.

00:23:53.500 I mean, you know, people say, look, you can't use this kind of language when you speak about

00:23:58.880 totalitarianism and, uh, and you're, you're inflating, uh, you're inflating the issue far more.

00:24:05.520 You're making far more out of it than it is.

00:24:07.220 But I, I, I disagree.

00:24:08.740 I think that the intrusion of the state into a child's mind, it's an invasion of a child's

00:24:17.400 mental security, uh, that, that to frighten them, to frighten them by suggesting that their,

00:24:25.180 their own body is, is surreal or that there's something not real about their biology, uh, is,

00:24:32.680 is such a cruel thing to do.

00:24:34.820 And they say that it's in the name of inclusion, uh, but it's in the name of something far more

00:24:39.340 disturbing than that.

00:24:40.460 Well, Barbara, you have upset me and now I'm going to do some more due diligence into my

00:24:44.720 own children's school, uh, because who knows what has been, and that's the thing is that

00:24:49.760 these things start with the premise of don't tell the parents.

00:24:53.880 Barbara, thank you for this and congratulations on your essay.

00:24:56.560 In closing, I note that, uh, over, uh, that yesterday the CBC, uh, put, was it two or three

00:25:02.920 reporters on an attack on you and one of your, uh, publications called the post-millennial.

00:25:09.520 We enjoy reading the post-millennial, very interesting stuff.

00:25:12.720 I think it took two or three CBC reporters to come and attack you.

00:25:16.360 At least they gave me the compliment.

00:25:17.580 They called you a major commentator.

00:25:19.140 I would agree with that.

00:25:20.220 But give me, give me 30 seconds on that.

00:25:23.160 The CBC, they always come for us here at The Rebel.

00:25:25.820 Now they're coming for this website called the post-millennial, which I admire.

00:25:29.300 Can you give me 30 seconds of thoughts on the CBC attack on you?

00:25:33.140 I, I can only imagine that they, the attack, when do you attack people?

00:25:38.260 You attack people when you feel threatened.

00:25:40.400 Uh, and so I, I take it as a great compliment that they tried to attack the post-millennial,

00:25:45.660 but, uh, in their attack, it was really quite, I thought, quite amateur because there was

00:25:50.540 nothing of substance there.

00:25:51.960 And they did admit that there was robustness of opinion.

00:25:55.220 Uh, so, you know, and they, they, they talked a lot about transparency, but they didn't, they

00:26:02.460 weren't very transparent themselves because, uh, they were quoting a professor of journalism,

00:26:06.680 uh, in their favor and against us.

00:26:09.640 And, and, and it turns out that that professor of journalism was himself at one time, a political

00:26:15.260 operative, uh, cause they had accused our writers of being, you know, uh, too political,

00:26:21.320 too politically engaged, too partisan, all that.

00:26:24.160 Uh, so as if, as if the CBC is not partisan or it's not, you know, itself tilted, uh, quite

00:26:30.580 far leftward.

00:26:31.420 So in the end, the post-millennial ended up with a huge number of new followers and a lot

00:26:37.280 of people were, uh, making mockery, uh, of the CBC.

00:26:40.740 So I don't think, I think it was, uh, they, it was an own goal for the, uh, for the CBC.

00:26:45.720 Bad move.

00:26:46.360 Well, I think you, you've got the right, right attitude.

00:26:48.420 If they're attacking you, it's because they see your, your following, they see that your

00:26:53.640 voice is getting out.

00:26:55.160 And, um, and I, I would congratulate you and I would say, I know how it feels to be attacked

00:27:00.960 by the CBC and you should take it as a badge of achievement.

00:27:05.600 And I know you do great to see you, my friend, happy Canada day, happy dominion day.

00:27:09.900 And we look forward to our next conversation.

00:27:12.140 Thanks, Ezra.

00:27:12.720 Same to you.

00:27:13.280 All right.

00:27:14.080 There you have it.

00:27:14.700 Our friend Barbara Kay, very, very thoughtful piece in the national post.

00:27:18.060 And of course you can follow her also on that independent website I just mentioned called

00:27:22.880 the post-millennial.

00:27:24.700 Stay with us.

00:27:25.320 More ahead on the rebel.

00:27:35.600 Well, that's our Canada Day edition.

00:27:39.120 I hope you're having some fun.

00:27:40.040 Maybe some fireworks, which is a little un-Canadian, isn't it?

00:27:43.320 It's a little too rambunctious.

00:27:45.040 And maybe some barbecue.

00:27:46.500 And we'll be back tomorrow.

00:27:47.820 Until then, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good

00:27:51.260 night.

00:27:52.160 Keep fighting for free.

00:27:53.140 We'll be right back.
