Summary
The mainstream media is in a conflict of interest when they talk about Don Cherry. They pretend they are neutral, but they are in fact in a corporate vendetta against him. And they do it because he is a racist, sexist, bigoted buffoon.

Hello, my friends. Today, I punish the viewers. I'm sorry. I apologize in advance. I make you
00:00:06.560
listen to about a minute from this awful, awful show called The Social on CTV. I'm sorry about
00:00:15.240
that. But you just have to watch. You can have a shower and scrub yourself off and rinse your
00:00:22.580
mouth and brush your teeth and get a haircut afterwards just to get all that off of you.
1.00
00:00:25.960
But it's The Social's take on Don Cherry, and it is so stupid, you will lose IQ points. All right,
1.00
00:00:33.960
I'm not even making sense. It'll all come clear in about a minute. I really want you to see the
00:00:38.980
video version of this, too, because, of course, The Social is a TV show. You can do that by becoming
00:00:43.780
a premium member. Go to premium.rebelnews.com. It's eight bucks a month to become a premium member.
00:00:50.240
You also get access to a couple other shows. It's basically the podcast, but with video.
00:01:12.960
Tonight, a CTV host attacks Don Cherry and makes a racist comment while she does it.
00:01:19.700
Should she be fired, too? It's November 13th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:25.960
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:30.540
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:34.620
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's
00:01:40.500
The mainstream media is in a conflict of interest when they talk about Don Cherry.
00:01:50.260
I suppose that's nothing new for the mainstream media. I mean, most news reporters in Canada
00:01:55.240
are members of the Unifor Union that had a super PAC-style campaign against Andrew Scheer and
00:02:01.320
the Conservatives in the last election, but they didn't disclose that in their reporting.
00:02:05.440
They didn't end their reports by saying, by the way, I'm taking my own personal money to
00:02:09.480
campaign against Andrew Scheer. They pretended they were neutral. Same thing with Don Cherry.
00:02:15.260
I mean, for years, Peter Mansbridge chafed at the fact that Don Cherry earned more money
00:02:19.720
than he did at CBC and had a way larger audience. So when Mansbridge attacked Cherry over the weekend,
00:02:26.820
claiming that Cherry said things he never did, it was really gross, but it was obviously just an old
00:02:34.040
personal vendetta. So many journalists have some skin in the game with Don Cherry that they just
00:02:40.560
didn't disclose. For example, it was a CTV Rogers consortium that bought the rights to Hockey
00:02:47.720
Nut in Canada a few years back, bought it away from outbid CBC. And then yesterday, CTV was bashing
00:02:56.660
Don Cherry after the Rogers' own Sportsnet fired him. Was that the true point of view of the CTV
00:03:04.180
hosts? Or was that some corporate memo they were just reading as if it was there? I mean,
00:03:09.440
you simply can't believe a word any of these people say. Ron McClain, worst example. He just lied
00:03:15.840
on TV right before our very eyes. On Saturday, I showed this to you twice yesterday, he actually gave
00:03:22.820
Don Cherry a thumbs up and said, that's why we love you, remember? Love you for it.
00:03:30.040
That's why we love you. But the next day, Ron McClain claimed he didn't hear it or he didn't react and
00:03:38.300
he should have or something. I sat there, did not catch it, did not respond. Yeah, so he's a liar.
00:03:46.820
He lied to save his own job. He lied, obviously, at the direction of his producers at Sportsnet.
0.95
00:03:55.120
He threw his friend Don Cherry under the bus. So now we know what kind of man Ron McClain is. But
00:04:00.400
what about the gals on The Social, which is the poor woman's version of The View? I've never watched
1.00
00:04:08.620
it before. Of course not. I work for a living and I'm a man. The Social is for women who don't work
1.00
00:04:16.440
and who aren't focused on their kids. If they have any, they're more focused on drinking wine in the
00:04:22.120
middle of the day. It's Justin Trudeau's core demographic for sure. Anyways, the show is owned
00:04:28.520
by CTV, which was part of the original consortium that hired Don Cherry. And so maybe their attacking
00:04:35.260
him is real, or maybe it's just a sponsored comment like a corporate memo. But these wine moms thought
0.92
00:04:42.300
they'd weigh in on Don Cherry. And really, I think most of them know about as much about Don Cherry
00:04:48.880
as I know about The Social. Not a lot of audience overlap between The Social and Hockey Night in
00:04:55.460
Canada. Look at this. This woman's name is Jessica Allen. She admits right off the bat she has no idea
00:05:01.960
that Don Cherry is a hockey icon, but she knows she hates him and that he's a sexist, racist,
0.96
00:05:09.660
bigot, bigot, because this is amazing. When she was a kid in small town Ontario, apparently someone
0.91
00:05:17.700
who played hockey, which is everyone, was mean to her or something. Watch this and watch the casual
00:05:25.900
and weird racist reference. I think it struck a nerve because I'm told he's a Canadian icon
00:05:34.660
and he's a symbol of the great sport of hockey, which is the sport that unites us across this
00:05:40.620
country. And that narrative is the one that strikes a nerve with me because I don't worship
00:05:46.520
at the altar of hockey. I never have. And maybe it's because of where I grew up, but there's a,
00:05:52.400
and going to a couple different universities, there's a certain type of person in my mind,
00:05:56.520
in my experience, who does. And they all tended to be white boys who weren't,
0.65
00:06:00.660
um, let's say very nice. They were not generally thoughtful. They were often bullies. Uh, their
00:06:06.920
parents were able to afford to put them, you know, spend $5,000 a year on minor hockey instead
00:06:11.720
of $5,000, a lot of money. You can do other things besides spending your time in an arena. You can go
00:06:16.660
on a trip and learn about the world, see other things, eh? You know, like it's, if the place is a,
00:06:22.600
the world is a big place, maybe get sight out of that bubble. And for me, Don Cherry is the walking
00:06:27.920
and talking representative of that type. And he's the type of person that now people want to like,
00:06:33.880
and I know he's done some good things, but at the same time, when someone good is also able to make
00:06:38.440
fun of people who believe in climate science, who's also able to be like, whether he's charming or not,
00:06:44.660
but he's still a bigot and a misogynist when you're, you know, to have those two things,
00:06:49.500
like, I dismiss those people. I mean, I find it embarrassing. I find it embarrassing that
00:06:55.200
there's a big chunk of the country that is so upset about this. Hockey doesn't mean anything
00:06:59.520
to me. I'm sorry. It's not part of my opinion. And you're still a great Canadian.
00:07:02.020
And I'm still a great Canadian. Yeah. Yeah. I'm tired.
00:07:06.740
Who is that low testosterone guy in the crowd? That's great. That's exactly what I was saying.
00:07:15.520
Who dragged him along? And what bet did he lose? Or holy moly, I wonder what his story is.
00:07:27.040
There's a lot going on there. She's not a fan of hockey, she says. She suggests,
00:07:32.880
and I don't quite believe her, that she didn't know exactly who Don Cherry was.
00:07:39.700
So what she lacks in understanding, she'll make up for with certainty and enthusiasm.
0.99
00:07:44.900
He's a bigot and a sexist. Oh, and he actually, he made fun of global warming. And that's really
0.97
00:07:53.500
his worst sin, it sounds like. I don't know if you caught it. Don Cherry used the word you people.
00:07:59.680
She said that type. Did you hear her say that a couple of times? What's the difference, by the way?
00:08:05.420
There was a level of snobbery there, too. And it was really noticeable.
00:08:08.800
Those families, those hockey families who spend money playing hockey,
00:08:14.980
why don't they travel to exotic places instead? I mean, she does. Her Instagram page is full of
00:08:23.080
pictures of her living it up. She wants you to know that even though she's from a small town,
00:08:28.560
she's really sophisticated and very successful. And by the way, did you hear her say it? She went to
00:08:34.520
not just one university, but several universities, she'll have you know. And she travels. She's no
00:08:40.940
small towner, guys. Now, she's in her 40s. I'm guessing that growing up in a small town, Ontario,
0.73
00:08:47.420
in the 70s and 80s, most people were white, like she is. But what's that got to do with anything?
00:08:57.220
Let's grant for a moment that her story was true about mean hockey kids and not just cooked up by
00:09:04.760
CTV's public relations or some producers trying to make her sound more interesting than she really
1.00
00:09:10.180
is. But is she saying that the entire white race is to blame because some kids 30 years ago were
00:09:18.040
mean to her? And what would race have to do with it anyways? She's white. They, if they really did
1.00
00:09:23.300
exist, were white. What does race have to do with the quarrel between kids who bullied her?
1.00
00:09:31.360
What a weird, weird thing to say. What a racist thing to say. But it was a tool because she wanted
0.89
00:09:37.380
to paint not only Don Cherry as racist, but really anyone who likes him, anyone who likes hockey. She
00:09:44.320
wanted to call them bigots too. And she was playing a race card even though she's white. That's weird.
0.97
00:09:49.140
And this is how she shows he's morally superior than Don Cherry for his sin of saying, you people.
00:09:55.380
She said, that type. As Don Cherry told our own David Menzies yesterday, he didn't mean for it to
00:10:02.380
come out that way. When he said everybody, he wanted to say everybody should wear a poppy. It just came
00:10:08.040
out wrong. Here's how Cherry corrected it yesterday. Well, David, I think if I had to do over again, I would
00:10:13.640
have said everybody. And that's what I meant. Everybody should wear a poppy. Beautiful guys
00:10:20.400
that we see 27 years old, 25, sometimes 18 years old, died for our way of life. Everybody should
00:10:27.440
wear a poppy. And that's what, that's what I meant. And it was taken out of context.
00:10:32.140
So the answer to that, you people, which was a malapropism, that's Don Cherry's signature. He
00:10:41.140
says funny words. The answer to that says the social on CPV is to go on a weird rant about
00:10:48.200
how racist hockey is because she's white and some white kids were mean to her 30 years ago
0.90
00:10:55.120
or whatever. Sorry, who's the bigot? Well, I see that fire Jesse Allen is trending on Twitter.
0.82
00:11:04.380
I mean, why not, right? If those are the rules now, Twitter mobs get you fired for saying the wrong
00:11:10.020
thing, right? Except that's actually not how it works. Outrage didn't get Justin Trudeau fired
00:11:17.720
for doing blackface so many times he forgot how many times. But you see, that's different.
00:11:23.100
When it comes to Justin Trudeau, a lot of people are saying no one was outraged. Actually,
00:11:27.140
there was a lot of outrage, I would say. And also what he did wasn't two days ago or three
00:11:31.220
days ago. It was 15 years ago. That's not a full excuse. What he did was horrible. What
00:11:35.800
Justin Trudeau did was ridiculous. But he didn't do it as prime minister. He didn't do
0.96
00:11:40.520
it at a time when he was a leader of a country. Had that platform. Had that platform.
00:11:44.840
And you say it, keep going. You're going to say it.
00:11:46.360
I got the third thing. Third thing. He apologized. He apologized. Not once, not twice, but several
00:11:55.200
times. He came up. He was very contrite. He acknowledged what he did. He had no excuse
00:11:59.300
for it. He acknowledged his privilege. He acknowledged all of it. What has Don Cherry done? He has doubled
00:12:04.160
down. I feel dumber for having watched that last minute there. Imagine listening to that
0.97
00:12:16.600
show for half an hour. That doesn't really make sense, does it? But what? Did you think
00:12:24.340
CTV would criticize Justin Trudeau, let alone their Trudeau demographic, who surely voted
00:12:30.780
for Trudeau despite blackface? Look, I think this Jessica Allen is really gross. I think that's
1.00
00:12:38.260
actually her sort of shtick. It's her place on the show. I was trying to figure out who she
00:12:43.700
was. I'd never heard of her until today. And I think her specialty is, sorry to say it,
00:12:50.340
I think it's, it's being gross. It's being the gross one, the dirty one. I think that's
0.97
00:12:55.900
her shtick. I mean, this is sort of funny. That's a funny picture. You got to admit, that's
00:13:00.160
funny. But this one, this is sort of gross. I don't really want to look at people sitting
00:13:09.140
on the toilet. She posted this to Instagram. Now, lucky her, she found a man who loves her
00:13:16.720
for who she is. And apparently he is totally into toilet photos that she publishes too.
00:13:25.460
So they really have a lot in common. That's her sense of humor shining through. She sure
00:13:32.080
likes bathrooms and she likes using the word shit. I think that's her thing. She's the shit
1.00
00:13:38.480
girl on, on the social. Look, what do I know about daytime TV for wine moms? I guess they,
1.00
00:13:47.220
they have the pretty girls, the fashion girls, and then they got this, the shit girl. I don't even
1.00
00:13:52.860
really think she's a racist, by the way. She just says what the rest of the corporate mainstream
1.00
00:13:58.780
media says, the mainstream culture. She's white from a small town. I think her strenuous attempts
0.97
00:14:04.460
to show how worldly she is just sort of underlines that. She's got an inferiority complex. No problem.
1.00
00:14:10.460
I mean, I like white people. I had small towns. I'm not racist or placist. I think she's fine.
00:14:16.460
Some people who didn't like being insulted by her, whether they're white or they just like hockey,
00:14:22.340
they couldn't help but see her hypocrisy using a racial insult deliberately to criticize Don Cherry,
00:14:28.740
who didn't make a racial insult and certainly didn't mean it that way. So here's her reply.
00:14:34.460
On Twitter, I never said every white boy, okay? Just the ones whose unsavory behavior,
1.00
00:14:42.240
which didn't feel very Canadian, I witnessed because of this, I'm guilty of having conflicted
00:14:47.180
feelings about hockey being so closely linked to our national identity. Yeah, well, you didn't say
00:14:53.620
every white boy and Don Cherry didn't say every minority either. In fact, he didn't even say the
00:14:58.820
word minority or race at all. He just said people who come to our country should learn about the
00:15:03.460
sacrifices made by earlier generations to keep us free and make us a great country. And he's right.
1.00
00:15:09.580
And he's a hero. And I'm not sure how many exotic places he's been on his Instagram.
00:15:16.760
He's been to exotic places, but not to drink wine. He went to Afghanistan to stand with our troops,
00:15:26.020
In the meantime, Jessica Allen was taking photos on the toilet and calling other people's names.
1.00
00:15:33.500
I don't think Jessica Allen should be fired. I think she's a perfect fit for CTV. I just think
00:15:41.620
she's gross. And I look forward to never watching her or giving her a minute's thought again,
0.95
00:15:48.800
which is the proper way to deal with someone you don't like, as opposed to smearing them and hounding
00:15:56.640
them out of their job. Stay with us for more.
0.98
00:16:00.720
You people out there, if you're listening and you're doing it and you, you should get involved
00:16:17.100
in this too, because what they want to do, they want to take when our guys, when they come back,
00:16:22.140
they, uh, you know, they need the jobs. Everybody needs jobs. They want to put them in the construction
00:16:26.760
business. So they're going to train them. So you people should get involved. I'm going to be
00:16:31.680
involved. Helmets, the hard hats, the greatest people in the world next to our troops. So come
00:16:37.220
on, get involved in this. It's a Canadian way. You people out there.
00:16:42.060
Do you hear him say you people? That's how Don Cherry said, hey, you people, you people, you people.
00:16:48.400
It's a, it's an idiom. It's a, it's, it's a mannerism. It's a turn of phrase. Everyone's got them.
00:16:54.160
You people, it's one of his, you know, if he's from the South, he'd be saying y'all or all y'all.
00:17:00.060
He says, you people. And for that phrase, he was fired and called a racist. He is not a racist.
00:17:09.980
Frankly, I think he's exposed some racism in other parts of the media, including as I showed you on
00:17:16.840
CTV. Well, there was a group of Canadians who held a protest despite the chilly weather in
00:17:23.820
Toronto in support of Don Cherry and possibly, though I don't think it's probable, his reinstatement
00:17:32.000
on Hockey Night in Canada. And down there at the protest is our very own David Manzies, who joins
00:17:37.700
us via Skype. David, give us a report from on the ground there. Where are you? How many people are
00:17:44.580
there? And is there any chance? As I can tell you, at the height of the protest, there were there was
00:17:52.000
about a few dozen people here, very passionate people. Now, a lot of people might say, well,
00:17:57.860
that's a fail. I think it speaks to something bigger here, Ezra. Everyone knows that this is more
00:18:04.960
than merely a sports program or an icon being canceled. This speaks to cancel culture. And we
00:18:14.740
know Don Cherry has hundreds of thousands, if not millions of fans. Coach's Corner is the most
00:18:20.840
watched seven minutes of TV in Canada every week. And I think the low turnout speaks to the fact,
00:18:27.900
Ezra, that so many people just don't want to be caught on camera going to bat for their hero,
00:18:35.460
Don Cherry. Because you know what, Ezra? That might mean tomorrow they get a call from Human Resources at
00:18:42.640
their place of employment. And guess what? This isn't good for our brand. This isn't good for our
00:18:49.260
image. And they, too, walk the plank. I think that's downright scary, to tell you the truth.
00:18:55.020
You know what, I find that a very credible explanation. If Don Cherry can get fired for
00:19:02.000
saying you people, which, as I showed in that clip, he says all the time, and he clearly clarified with
00:19:09.040
you yesterday when you went to his house, he didn't mean it in a bigoted, racist way. Only
00:19:13.800
someone taking a deliberate and malicious approach would possibly think that. But that's the point. It
00:19:21.680
is deliberate and malicious. So if they're sacked Don Cherry, they'll sack anyone. If they could go
00:19:28.020
after someone that big, surely they could go after someone smaller. It is called out, and it is in the
00:19:33.960
middle of a workday. And most conservatives actually work. They don't sit at home watching The Social or
00:19:40.240
some other wine mums TV show. Did you talk to anyone there? I saw someone with a poster that said free
00:19:49.580
speech. Is it, do people there actually think Rogers will reconsider their decision? Or is everyone
00:19:58.820
pretty much resigned to the fact that Don Cherry's never coming back?
00:20:02.500
That's a great question, Ezra. Obviously, the point of this protest is to get Rogers to change
00:20:10.800
their minds. And I spoke to our good friend, and really the point man on this story, the guy that
00:20:17.040
broke the firing story, Joe Warmington, the scrawler at the Toronto Sun. And his opinion, Ezra, is that
00:20:25.220
right now as we speak, Ron McLean is at a meeting at the CBC headquarters building on Front Street.
00:20:31.400
And Joe says that if Ron takes a stand, if Ron says you have to bring Don back, if Ron goes to bat
00:20:42.720
for Don's job, as Don Cherry went to bat for Ron's job twice, then yes, something can be salvaged.
00:20:51.760
But it's all, at least according to Joe Warmington, Ezra, it's in Ron McLean's hands whether we're
00:21:00.540
going to get traction on this or not. I'm not sure if Joe's accurate or not. I mean, we live in a
00:21:07.160
culture where executives are hypersensitive about their company's image, about what advertisers
00:21:15.520
might say. But my goodness, Ezra, again, I go back to how chilling this is, that if an icon,
00:21:23.420
Ron, if a guy that's known as Mr. Canada in some circles, a guy that had an almost 40-year
00:21:29.240
career on Hockey Night in Canada, if he can be deplatformed, anybody can.
00:21:36.000
Yeah. Well, listen, if anyone has to rely on Ron McLean, then there is no hope. He's a man
00:21:42.000
without shoulders, as they say. He's a man without a chest, as they say. We saw what he's made of
00:21:49.920
on Sunday when he threw Don Cherry under the bus, lied about Don Cherry, blamed John Cherry,
00:21:55.420
and then arrogated unto himself the right to apologize for Don Cherry when Don Cherry did
00:22:00.500
no such thing. Ron McLean is a disgrace. And, you know, there's an insult. I'm sure all our
0.98
00:22:08.160
viewers have heard it. I wouldn't pee on him if he was on fire. Well, I mean, that's taken as an
0.69
00:22:14.980
insult. That is how Ron McLean is towards Don Cherry, his old friend.
00:22:20.420
Ezra, I agree. So many people online are calling him Ron Judas, and there's a lot of merit to that
1.00
00:22:27.020
slur. But this could be a moment of redemption for him if he can grow a spine and do the right thing
0.62
00:22:35.140
and do Don a good turn, as Don has done him twice to save his job in the past. Well, like I said,
00:22:44.260
that's in Ron's corner. And we'll just have to see if he's going to man up, if I can use that language
00:22:50.880
these days. Yeah. Well, it's unleashed a torrent of reverse racism. We showed earlier CTV's The Social
00:22:59.560
Bizarrely rolling out some anti-white racism, which I didn't even understand. And the whole
00:23:06.740
sport of hockey is being smeared as being too white, which is a racist thing to say. It's bizarre. No one
00:23:13.260
would ever say the NBA is too black. That's just a bizarre and racist thing to say. I think it's a
00:23:20.020
combination of, like, that's not even the Canadian way. We didn't have Jim Crow laws. We didn't have
00:23:26.400
slavery here. We just don't have that U.S. experience or foreign experience. We're a harmonious
00:23:33.000
place. Importing that racial grievance culture, that Black Lives Matter extremism, that's just
0.96
00:23:40.240
un-Canadian. But that seems to be the official line in all the official media. I guess the question,
00:23:46.100
David, is, is that real life in Canada? Or is that just anyone, like the official people,
00:23:52.660
the fancy people, people who work for TV networks, that's not Canada yet, is it?
00:23:59.260
Ezra, the silent majority isn't buying into this. This is manufactured. As you know,
00:24:07.260
Ron McClain himself was giving the thumbs up and nodding his head when Don made those comments.
00:24:12.100
I believe the Coach's Corner segment was aired in three other time zones. So no producer at Sportsnet
00:24:20.580
said this was too hot a potato. And when it comes to, you know, race and sports, what I always
00:24:26.620
remember, Ezra, is about, I might have the dates wrong, but a good 12 or 13 years ago, the Toronto Star
00:24:35.420
ran a front-page Saturday Star report entitled the Toronto White Jays. And it was in reference to the
00:24:43.980
Toronto Blue Jays baseball club. Why are there so many white players on this team? That was the
1.00
00:24:50.400
thrust of the article. The story blew up in their faces, Ezra, because when somebody looked at the
00:24:57.720
number of Hispanic residents in Toronto, the number of Black residents in Toronto, they were actually
00:25:04.300
over-represented on the Toronto Blue Jays. So it was more than, I guess, the diversity quotient
00:25:14.080
of Toronto itself. There is this obsession with liberals in the media when it comes to race,
00:25:22.140
so much so, Ezra, that they can't even get the facts right when they try to portray our society
00:25:30.540
as being racist. Yeah, it's just bizarre. It's not even a Canadian way to look at the world. That's
00:25:35.860
just not our history. Well, last question to you. I mean, you were up there at his house and he seemed
00:25:42.160
pretty calm about the whole thing. I guess an 85-year-old guy is almost 86, had a good run,
00:25:47.880
put a few bucks away. He knows he did nothing wrong. He knows the people are with him. Do you think he's
00:25:53.440
done or do you think he'll get another, do you think he likes to opine on the world, not just hockey,
00:26:00.660
but on the world in general? Do you think, I mean, obviously he'd be welcome here at the Rebel. I just
00:26:04.560
don't think we could muster the money to compete with what he was making in the past. But who knows,
00:26:10.900
if he's persona non grata with all the fancy people, maybe he'll come hang out with us rebels
00:26:15.380
here. He is a rebel in his own way. What do you think is next for him? Well, Ezra, I might be dreaming
00:26:21.180
in Technicolor, but I understand there's a leadership review for the Conservative Party
00:26:25.520
of Canada early next year. But I guess at Don's age, that ship has sailed. I'll just say this,
00:26:32.640
because I know we've got to wrap it very quickly. If I was a computing sports network, I'd be at Don
00:26:38.640
Cherry's Mississauga house right now with a contract with a blank amount for his salary. Because like I
00:26:46.800
said, this guy's responsible for the most watched seven minutes of TV every week in Canada. He's
00:26:53.360
entertaining. He's still relevant. How can you possibly leave an asset like that on the table?
00:27:00.840
Let's see what happens in the days ahead. Yeah, very interesting. Well, I'm glad you're down there.
00:27:06.020
And I haven't checked in the last couple hours. But when I checked earlier this morning,
00:27:09.620
our petition at supportdoncherry.com had over 75,000 names. So that's just a small hint of his
00:27:17.120
support. David, thanks for covering this story so well. And congratulations again on your exclusive
00:27:21.600
interview with him last night. Thank you so much, Ezra. All right, there you have it. David,
00:27:26.780
the Menzoid Menzies, downtown in Toronto, outside the Rogers headquarters, which owns Sportsnet.
00:27:39.620
Hey, welcome back to my monologue yesterday about Don Cherry. Ron writes,
00:27:49.780
Don Cherry is a Canadian patriot of the highest caliber. Asking new immigrants and Canadians in
1.00
00:27:53.980
general to wear poppies is literally a staple of Canadian assimilation. Well, you said the word
0.89
00:27:59.700
assimilation. I don't even think you're allowed to say that anymore. I'm not just musing.
00:28:05.660
There was a fellow recently who wanted to assimilate as his license plate, and it was like a Star Trek
00:28:12.640
word or something. But the government wouldn't let him use it because that's apparently a bigoted word
00:28:18.320
in Canada. True story. John Carpe of the Justice Center took his case, and I think they actually
00:28:23.880
lost. Mitchell writes, I am an immigrant, and what he said was true. We love freedom here,
00:28:29.560
and we should participate in remembering the sacrifice of those who came before. Cherry was
00:28:33.360
fired by politically correct cannibals. Absolutely. Absolutely. It was a mob.
0.99
00:28:39.560
You saw the two reactions. Don Cherry said, I'm not bending the knee. And Ron McLean said,
00:28:46.760
yes, sir. Yes, sir. I'll throw my friend. I'll inform on my friend. I'll denounce my friend
00:28:52.000
if you spare me. That's exactly how it worked in the denunciations and the struggle sessions in
00:28:59.840
authoritarian regimes like Mao's Cultural Revolution. That's just how it was.
00:29:04.920
On my interview with Yasmeen Mohamed, Jan writes, Yasmeen Mohamed is incredible. She's a very brave
00:29:12.480
and heroic woman. Can you imagine the social interviewing her? They'd want to tear her apart
0.97
00:29:17.320
for being racist. Hey, that's a very good point. Well, first of all, she's a lot smarter than them.
0.99
00:29:23.860
Second of all, that Jess Allen or whatever her name was wouldn't be able to play the race card
1.00
00:29:29.660
against Yasmeen Mohamed, but they would never have her on because they want those comfortable
1.00
00:29:34.040
mainstream opinions. That and lots of wine and potty jokes. The social, you can have it.
00:29:41.700
Well, folks, that's the show for today. Until next time, on behalf of us here at Rebel
00:29:46.140
World Headquarters, good night and keep fighting for free.
