Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Barbara Kay on the rise of antisemitic crime in Canada

00:00:00.000 tonight battle of the pessimists between me and barbara k who despairs more for our future

00:00:21.200 how's that for a pitch it's august 26 this is the s levante show

00:00:24.960 shame on you you censorious bug

00:00:31.180 well there's a crime wave going on across canada we've talked about it many times 0.65

00:00:43.860 if you um are in a big city like toronto montreal vancouver you know that one of the expressions

00:00:49.240 of that crime wave is in auto thefts of any high-end automobile i'm not talking about rolls royces or

00:00:55.700 bentley so those those would obviously be stolen right away but even just a nice acura or a nice

00:01:01.640 audi they're stolen right off of your driveway often with a home invasion type robbery

00:01:09.520 astonishingly the toronto police you'll recall gave advice to people to leave their key fobs near the

00:01:13.840 front door to make it easier for the criminals to find them without marauding through your house

00:01:18.840 there is a crime wave but that obscures another crime wave or maybe it creates a general feeling

00:01:26.780 that lawlessness is allowed that broken windows theory of james q wilson that if you allow

00:01:32.680 a little bit of crime people observe and get the message that this is a place where things are allowed

00:01:39.840 and what was once unthinkable becomes normalized and i'm talking in specific about the anti-semitic

00:01:47.620 crime wave in this country and i think it meets that definition and uh i'm jewish myself as you know

00:01:55.000 and so i sometimes check myself and say am i interested in this anti-semitic crime wave only

00:02:00.880 because i'm jewish or only because some of it's happening right in my own neighborhood or even

00:02:06.320 in institutions that i personally frequent would i be as concerned about a crime wave in this country

00:02:14.080 that was say targeting black people if you had black churches with arson attacks in the dead of night 0.99

00:02:21.720 if you had people standing outside a black church wearing kkk hoods and chanting not i'm going to kill 1.00

00:02:30.800 you something specific enough that police would arrest but just uh general racist terms slightly 0.99

00:02:36.420 coded terms and every week and blocking the streets downtown would i be as upset and i would like to

00:02:45.560 think that i would be i'm upset just coming up just even saying that counter example is so extreme

00:02:51.680 and absurd we would never accept it for a moment and yet we've accepted it for almost a full year in

00:02:58.860 canada and that's what i mean about normalizing and accepting it i feel as if the perpetrators of

00:03:05.600 the anti-semitic crime wave are testing like a child seeing if there's any limits and so far the answer

00:03:11.640 is not really you see illegal trespasses on university campuses that were tolerated for months

00:03:20.020 police coming up with excuses for not enforcing the law compare that to the emergencies act the riot

00:03:26.940 horses deployed against completely peaceful trucker protesters and so i say that even though i'm jewish

00:03:33.620 and some of the guests we interview on the show are jewish i do believe and i and i have to believe

00:03:38.820 that i would stand up for another group that was subject to such similar abuse so why is it being tolerated

00:03:46.860 joining us now to talk about this and various conundrums and to rehash some of the crazier stories of recent weeks

00:03:53.220 is our friend barbara kay a columnist for the national post and other wonderful places good to

00:03:58.100 see you again barbara great to be here ezra there's something weird about this anti-semitic crime wave

00:04:03.340 um all the authorities want to downplay it i mean let me tell you from personal experience i i heard on

00:04:09.580 the news that a school bus caught fire at 5 a.m and i think school buses don't catch fire they don't

00:04:16.500 spontaneously combust maybe if it's driving and it overheats the engine smokes but i just thought

00:04:22.900 that doesn't sound right and when i heard where it was i thought i know exactly where that is i went

00:04:27.480 there and it was near a synagogue and these were a bunch of school buses for jewish schools parked and

00:04:33.520 marked at for the jewish schools and i thought why did the police and why did the media cover up

00:04:41.900 the jewish character of these buses and just say the absurd statement a school bus caught fire at 5 a.m

00:04:49.640 and two days later a jewish school not far from my house had an arson attack the window smashed and

00:04:58.820 they said no just a shed in the back was attacked last example there's a jewish school again not far

00:05:04.680 from where i am where in the morning two masked people shot bullets at it and sped away on on motorbikes

00:05:11.660 the toronto police detective who gave the press conference on the scene spoke for six minutes

00:05:18.240 and didn't once mention the word jewish or anti-semitic he he he did not in any way infer that

00:05:26.640 this was other than just some random kids again you know those kids and so barbara it's not just that

00:05:33.340 there's a crime wave it's that every institution is trying to downplay it including by the way the

00:05:39.240 jewish community which has downplayed this arson attack on the school so what do you make of this

00:05:44.960 what do you is it true that there's a crime wave against jews in canada and is it true that it's

00:05:49.740 being downplayed by authorities including some official jews well i think there is uh definitely

00:05:55.420 a crime wave we've had similar incidents in montreal as you know um and uh individuals have suffered

00:06:02.860 uh uh anti-semitic threats and harassment at the encampments i mean if the police i i agree with

00:06:13.040 you that the police are downplaying it but i'm asking myself is this a decision that was taken by

00:06:17.880 the police or is this does this directive come from higher up that they're how they're supposed to

00:06:24.760 respond to the media how they're supposed to communicate uh information about these incidents

00:06:30.720 to uh to the public um is it it's the mayor isn't it who is sort of in charge of the police

00:06:37.800 in different cities there's police commissions and for example in ontario there's a and in every

00:06:45.560 province there's a cabinet minister a position called solicitor general who's typically in charge

00:06:51.120 of all police forces and and prisons and and some court processes the prosecution is done by the

00:06:57.740 justice minister the attorney general but the solicitor general is in charge of policing i asked

00:07:04.060 ontario solicitor general who happens to be an orthodox jewish man i said why aren't you laying

00:07:11.100 charges i asked him that about four times in a row here i'll let you look at his answer how come there

00:07:17.400 were no charges under section 176 2 of the criminal code besetting a house of worship when all those

00:07:24.320 protesters were outside the bayat synagogue in thornhill well it's a question that you're going

00:07:29.040 to have to ask the york regional police or the attorney general i'm here because i'm not going to

00:07:34.160 see my community intimidated i speak out all the time in support of our jewish community i'm not afraid

00:07:41.040 to wear my kippah i'm not afraid to go to synagogue every uh every sabbath every shabbat and i'm going to

00:07:47.360 do everything that i can to stand up for our inherent right to live safely in our own homes and communities

00:07:53.680 and i'm not going to stop everything's short of prosecuting them though right i mean the u of t

00:07:58.160 remains encamped with an illegal encampment you're very good on twitter but have you actually done

00:08:03.760 any prosecutions well again this is something that you have to speak to the attorney general he's your

00:08:08.960 colleague you're in the government why why should you're on the inside no what i can tell you is i'm

00:08:13.760 working every day to tweeting every day that our legislation that our regulations are adhered to

00:08:20.080 i'm standing up with my community i've been 34 weeks almost every single week to the rally of

00:08:26.160 bathurst and shepherd in support of remembering the hostages who have been held against their will

00:08:32.240 in captivity in gaza and it's not acceptable well and that's exactly and that's exactly it obviously is

00:08:39.040 acceptable since you're not prosecuting it you have condoned it you've created a new normal where

00:08:44.400 people can engage in low-level permanent anti-semitic crimes assault threats mischief because you guys

00:08:52.000 don't prosecute but there you are on twitter though so congrats for that it's important that the jewish

00:08:57.520 community sees a person from their own community in the ontario legislature standing up against hate

00:09:04.160 every single day who has the support of a premier who has called it out where are the other levels of

00:09:10.080 government today who who exercise the same voice that premier ford does that we will not accept

00:09:17.920 anti-semitism you have accepted it where's the where's the prosecution again this is something you

00:09:24.080 could ask minister verani you can ask the prime minister as the province the province prosecutes

00:09:30.240 the province prosecutes better save your boss so i recorded that that was outside the jewish school

00:09:35.840 that was shot at and i found that very frustrating because every time i said well why aren't your

00:09:41.520 police laying charges like there's i mentioned section 176 2 of the criminal code which is a very

00:09:46.480 specific section barbara saying you cannot interrupt a religious service it's just it is that simple you

00:09:53.680 cannot disrupt disturb a gathering in a church or a synagogue and that must have been written for

00:10:00.160 a reason for like i said in in the u.s south sometimes they would the kkk would burn a cross on the

00:10:07.360 lawn of a black church and they had a specific law in the canadian criminal code saying you can't disturb

00:10:13.040 a religious uh gathering there were enormous pro-hammas protests outside jewish synagogues for hours

00:10:22.160 no charges laid that's what i was asking the solicitor general and his answers to me time and again were

00:10:26.720 well i'm jewish i go to synagogue i wear a yarmulke yeah i'm i'm actually uh i was very frustrated at

00:10:36.640 that clip ezra because you were perfectly right to keep at him and i i mean i call that you know playing

00:10:43.520 the kippah card i i really don't like that i don't like uh you know i'm here i'm in support uh this one

00:10:50.960 supports that one supports that ford supports everybody supports and says but what you and

00:10:57.440 you're quite right what they mean by support is this is terrible it's just like uh justin trudeau

00:11:03.200 just said he was disgusted uh at the thought of uh this anonymous letter that came with a threat

00:11:11.280 to a hundred jewish institutions in canada that that they're all under threat of who knows what of some

00:11:18.320 kind of um attack and everybody's disgusted and concerned disgusted and concerned but and the rcmp

00:11:26.560 is supposed to be investigating uh but i i don't know i get a lot of uh people writing to me and saying

00:11:32.800 what do they mean by this what are they going to do about it are they when i mean are why does it keep

00:11:39.600 going on um and nobody actually arrest these people uh or or at least uh make serious attempts to

00:11:50.320 anyways and i found that interview a little disconcerting because he seems clear to me that

00:11:58.240 mr kirstner thinks he is doing something positive and something um something that that is actually

00:12:07.920 effective in some way by coming out to these protests and coming out and and stating his

00:12:13.760 intention you know to keep living as a jew and all that but uh these are words these are words and

00:12:20.960 you're right i don't see a lot of action and and i i do think it's a testing of the waters and the fact

00:12:26.880 that this threat to jewish institutions has come out suggests to me that they can see there's not a lot of

00:12:37.760 bite you know there's bark but no bite and there's it's worthwhile exploring an escalation

00:12:45.520 of violence to see what happens yeah i saw that uh email sent to a lot of jewish institutions i i read

00:12:52.480 it uh i mean someone sent me a copy of it right away it said there is a bomb in a black backpack uh we and

00:12:59.920 they we are the name the courts tell the media this i read it and i immediately thought this is bs

00:13:07.120 this is a hoax this is it probably is a hoax this is someone well and the reason i say that is

00:13:12.320 justin trudeau weighed in this is disgusting and all the liberal mp this is outrageous because i first 0.61

00:13:19.360 of all i think it'll be revealed to be a hoax uh which will be used to say all these jews they're 0.94

00:13:24.000 overreacting but second of all they don't condemn actual crimes real stuff that's going on there were

00:13:32.000 there was three three days in a row a couple weeks ago where i covered an arson a day there were four

00:13:37.040 arson attacks in a row in three days and that's a real crime i actually don't believe that email

00:13:45.600 threat for one second i think it is and for all i know it could be a trick from for someone who has a

00:13:51.600 plan to so oh it's all a hoax where are they on actual enforcement of the law let me give you an

00:13:57.680 example in the united kingdom they had anti-immigration riots the other day and keir starmer the new prime

00:14:02.960 minister set up a 24 hour a day court so he's pounding through the prosecutions one after another

00:14:09.920 and some of them are rioters but many of them are people who just tweeted sympathy one guy gesticulated in

00:14:15.520 the wrong way like it's one one guy just said uh this you aren't brits anymore to the cops like

00:14:21.280 it's so crazy he's making a political point he's a he's taking actual people off the street and he's

00:14:27.840 intimidating thousands more police forces across the uk it's like they're putting out sizzle reels

00:14:34.560 of their you know they're filming themselves arresting people busting down doors it is a pr

00:14:40.000 campaign we have the opposite in canada in fact we have uh the pr is we're bringing in more migrants

00:14:46.640 from gaza hooray welcome home trudeau says that when he brings in foreigners welcome home he's saying

00:14:54.000 to people from gaza they're bringing in thousands more people from gaza they're not doing so interesting

00:14:58.880 it's so interesting that 56 56 muslim islam dominated countries have said no to refugees from gaza

00:15:09.760 and canada is well welcoming them without asking without our prime minister asking why is no

00:15:22.800 muslim country in the world why do they not want gas and refugees why why would they why would they 1.00

00:15:29.200 hesitate and trudeau has shown that he can't vet anyone there was a father son tag team isis terror group

00:15:36.880 that was uh charged with terrorism offenses the other day they actually committed terrorism overseas

00:15:44.640 before trudeau brought them to canada we didn't catch them when you're bringing people from gaza 0.81

00:15:51.600 not only do 75 percent of gazans support hamas according to their own polls but who selects the

00:15:58.000 people who would be coming over if there's any bureaucrats or officials in gaza it's run by hamas hamas has a

00:16:04.800 military wing but it also does the machinery of the state if you're choosing three thousand or five

00:16:10.960 thousand or ten thousand people to go to canada who's doing the choosing the government i presume

00:16:16.160 and the what remains of the government in gaza is hamas we're literally letting a terrorist group

00:16:20.960 choose who's coming to canada of course there are terrorists embedded and even if there aren't

00:16:27.120 three quarters of them are anti-semitic by their own polls yes uh i i i think that's a big mistake

00:16:33.680 uh and will i hope we're not going to see the kind of evidence that i'm worried about uh that will

00:16:40.640 prove that it's a big mistake but um that's that's our prime minister he's the prime minister but i see

00:16:47.440 every single premier in this country is shy also i was recently talking um i won't say which politician

00:16:54.400 but they said please don't ask me about foreign affairs i mean every single politician in this country

00:17:00.720 is aware of the fact that demographically in the last 20 years we have quadrupled uh the muslim

00:17:09.200 population many of whom are wonderful people who hate sharia law and hate the old ways and they 1.00

00:17:14.880 really want to be free canadians but many more of them bring with them anti-semitism and ancient hatreds

00:17:22.240 anti-christian bigotry um yeah and we just haven't vetted and so it's not just the prime minister

00:17:29.680 i mean you you saw there i think that michael kirschner's role is to be a placebo to say to the

00:17:34.800 jewish community oh not only do we have jews in government he's literally the solicitor general the

00:17:39.200 minister in charge of police so you guys are okay but as a kind of a placebo for not doing anything

00:17:45.200 yaara sacks the jewish mp from york center ontario flies to the middle east to shake hands with mahmoud

00:17:51.920 abbas i think she was sent as a kind of human shield to buy space for melanie jolie our foreign minister

00:17:59.440 was meeting with the terrorism leader and trudeau was brilliant he said have a jewish mp go there just

00:18:05.120 so it kosher's the whole event so no one's gonna say what are you doing meeting with terrorists i think

00:18:10.960 that let's talk about union leaders i mean we could talk about university presidents many of whom in in

00:18:17.360 university leadership are jewish but they abide anti-semitism on their campus and what about 0.96

00:18:22.320 fred hahn the the head of the public sector workers in ontario the guy is a caricature he's a clownish 0.71

00:18:29.840 figure but he's he's practically a hamas spokesman no he's he's uh he is really an awful character and

00:18:39.120 and and he's been uh tolerated for quite some time uh it's very good to see that it looks like his his

00:18:46.480 tenure has has has come to but he just carrying on a tradition in qpi uh you know you you may remember

00:18:54.160 sid ryan who was uh head of qpi uh ontario from the 19 early 1990s to almost 2010 uh he he is a big

00:19:05.680 anti-semite he has a bad social media uh if you look at his social media history it's it's just as

00:19:12.320 bad as fred's uh and he was tolerated for almost 20 years um i don't understand uh how these guys stay

00:19:23.040 in for so long and as you say if it was any other group if they were anti-muslim if they were anti-black

00:19:30.720 if they were anti anything homophobic anybody else but but jews they would not have lasted 10 minutes

00:19:37.360 uh but you know it this normalization of uh of anti-semitism or a certain level of anti-semitism as

00:19:46.560 long as it's well it's tweets well it's this well they don't really mean it well he apologized uh they

00:19:53.760 don't really apologize they apologize uh that people were offended you know if people were

00:19:59.440 offended or that uh they're sorry about the reaction they're not sorry that they you know

00:20:04.240 or this sarah jama who's calling for the global intifada the whole i mean it's it's basically the

00:20:10.160 left wing in canada um ndp ndp both federally and provincially uh unions these these institutions are

00:20:20.240 are deeply infiltrated by uh truly hardcore anti-semites and they are tolerated and they

00:20:29.360 and they do tend to rise to positions of of influence uh within these institutions it's a

00:20:36.880 serious problem it is and it's not addressed because just not seen or or it's seen but not

00:20:44.880 really seen as well it's it's it's it's just not seen as a serious problem you know one of the things

00:20:54.160 that's so uh telling is the lengths that the left is willing to go to make excuses for not being offended

00:21:03.840 by insane chants and signs and by the way i'm a pretty much a free speech purist but for the people

00:21:11.600 who lecture us on microaggressions the people who say oh my god you didn't use my proper pronouns

00:21:17.840 you dead named me you misgendered me the people who have a thin skin on that will put themselves 0.59

00:21:24.000 into pretzels to excuse the phrase from the river to the sea palestine will be free which means 1.00

00:21:29.520 exterminate every jew in israel between the jordan river and the mediterranean sea 1.00

00:21:33.360 globalize the intifada there is only one solution intifada revolution intifada means an anti-semitic 0.97

00:21:38.640 riot a pogrom um they they use the the triangle symbol that's the symbol hamas uses uh for a for

00:21:46.720 a target for a gun or a missile even they say we don't hate jews we just hate zionists oh no no 1.00

00:21:53.280 we're not anti-semitic we just hate zionists zionism of course the mount zion it's it's the central 1.00

00:22:00.240 feature it's the focus of judaism and and to to excuse all these things with pretzel logic

00:22:08.800 would be like if someone said well i'm not against i don't hate christians i hate just hate people who

00:22:14.800 follow jesus no no no i got nothing against christians just people who like it's it's so

00:22:19.680 the madness and again i'm not calling for censorship of words but the people who claim they do the people

00:22:25.840 who claim they're for tolerance and for for anti-bullying they have tolerated

00:22:32.880 insanity and much of it comes from foreign people i don't know why i think that's why we're afraid to call 1.00

00:22:38.320 it out is these are newcomers to this country and we're just too polite to say you guys are bigots

00:22:44.400 get the hell out we are we have been tolerating it we they've tolerated in europe they're tolerating it 0.77

00:22:51.600 uh throughout the entire west uh you and mark stein go back 25 years uh we're warning and openly stating

00:23:04.160 we've got a problem here uh you know demographics is destiny um and but you got to admit that they

00:23:14.080 propaganda wise they have been extremely successful in kind of a tarring zionism which 1.00

00:23:22.640 75 years ago when israel began zionism was perceived as what it was the movement for

00:23:28.400 self-determination for the jewish people and at that time self-determination

00:23:34.080 as a nation was the litmus test for every other nation that was created there were

00:23:40.160 50 60 70 i don't know how many nations all were created around the same time because national

00:23:45.760 self uh liberation the liberation movement uh was determined uh self-determination was the big thing so

00:23:53.200 how only zionism of all these nations you know the same time that israel was created by the un

00:24:00.560 syria lebanon iraq these were not nations before uh the 1940s they all they all had the same

00:24:09.360 you know time frame in terms of becoming nations you have in syria for example a country that is so

00:24:17.360 uh dysfunctional you've had a half a million people killed in civil wars you have a ruler who has used

00:24:24.880 chemical weapons against his own people nobody has ever said syria is an illegitimate nation or arab 0.75

00:24:32.080 self-determination is a bad thing it's a terrible thing it's it's it's uh it's a racist it's a racist 0.60

00:24:38.960 uh thing even though all arab countries uh were founded uh as nations that were judenrind that had to 0.96

00:24:47.200 be judenrind in order to self-determine only only israel is multicultural um and has arabs christians

00:24:56.560 flourishing um but it's it's considered the evil one but their their propaganda machine mill it's an

00:25:05.280 industry that's the only thing that they you know they have not been terrific at building healthy nations

00:25:11.280 but they have been very successful with their uh industry of lies about israel and they are now those 0.71

00:25:18.720 lies are accepted and so to say i don't want zionism i don't want zionists in my restaurant or in my 1.00

00:25:26.800 bookstore or in i will not publish a zionist and everybody knows it means jews this is now um

00:25:35.200 accepted in the same way that uh you know say the the gender ideologues got everybody to believe

00:25:41.200 that gender and sex were interchangeable so that everybody's very confused when you say well

00:25:47.200 you know a person can become the other gender or the other sex they don't they don't distinguish 0.98

00:25:52.800 between the two so uh i have to in a way admit defeat that we we have been defeated the jews 0.91

00:25:59.600 are very clever but they've been defeated in the propaganda wars and no matter how much rational

00:26:05.440 stuff we put out and how defensive we get and we have not we we're losing every day on that front

00:26:11.760 social media uh universities you know you've got you've got schools now that are are starting

00:26:20.240 programs in anti-palestinian racism explain to me what anti-pal or celebration of

00:26:27.920 commemoration of nakba day what is nakba day it's it's you know why is it being commemorated uh if

00:26:36.320 you ask them it's it's it's just lobbying law they they're they're instituting them

00:26:41.440 in order to uh these programs are are going to be condemnations of zionism and of israel nothing else

00:26:47.920 i saw just yesterday the the government of canada has signed a contract with the globe and mail

00:26:53.520 to put in put on a conference and one of the things they're going to study the global mail is

00:26:58.960 taking money to do this is to study anti-palestinian racism i didn't know palestinian was a race

00:27:06.240 yeah i didn't know that either i didn't even know that i didn't even know that that uh canadians

00:27:12.320 were able to distinguish between palestinian muslims and uh other muslims in canada

00:27:21.360 they know instinctively and how would you know arabic is a language and arabs are an ethnicity

00:27:28.480 but palestinian is none of those things it's not a language it's not a race it's not an ethnicity

00:27:33.360 but it is an official thing and i know this because uh the government of canada is putting

00:27:39.040 on a conference with the globe and mail to that effect i'll let you know how it goes because i've

00:27:42.720 signed up hey you know i about 20 plus years ago maybe it was even longer

00:27:48.080 sasha baron cohen who's a british comedian oh he's hilarious uh although his shtick is a little tired

00:27:54.720 now he had a character called borat yes borat sagdiev who was from kazakhstan or one of the stands and um

00:28:06.240 he he came to america and he would he would do cringy things and see how far he could go

00:28:12.960 before he would throw he would he would sing a song in in a he'd go to a bar and start singing

00:28:19.040 throw the jew down the well throw the jew down the well and pretty soon everybody would be like 1.00

00:28:23.920 singing along with in that in that case they sing along in other cases like i like he would go he

00:28:29.840 went to a very fancy dinner party and he did something unspeakable i won't even say what it is

00:28:34.880 just he he would see how far he could go how how sexist he could be how racist he could be how

00:28:41.040 anti-semitic he could be how vulgar um without the americans uh losing saying get out of my house

00:28:50.800 yeah and and i just want to play i mean he um i remember a scene when he was talking about dating

00:28:56.640 because he was extraordinarily sexist obviously this is a character he was playing and

00:29:01.840 i think sasha baron cohen was doing this to mock americans to to show how simple and uh

00:29:11.760 dull-witted they are but i think it had the opposite effect it made me think sasha baron cohen

00:29:19.120 was dirty and big like listen i thought they were hilarious by the way but what it showed to me was the

00:29:24.320 goodness the tolerance the patience of ordinary middle-class folks in america who instead of

00:29:32.560 saying you bigot get the hell out of our country would sort of uh keep their straight face and

00:29:38.880 explain to him why what he was doing wasn't the american way here's just a clip just to throw away

00:29:44.320 example of what i mean let me come right back and explain the why i'm referring to borat in this

00:29:48.800 conversation in us and a if you want to marry a girl you cannot just go to her father's house and

00:29:56.160 swap her for 15 gallons of insecticide before american woman will allow you in her vagine you must do 1.00

00:30:04.720 something called dating my name is jenny pleased to meet you hello jenna nice to to meet you thank you for

00:30:18.560 coming in today to us see if great expectations is right for you yes what would you like to see

00:30:24.480 happen if you met your ideal woman i will love her we will be as one so i will give her television remote 0.78

00:30:33.680 control a red dress i hope will say you have a good life and back home you can provide for her a good

00:30:42.080 life and that's what you'd like to do but if she cheated on me why you laugh i think that's sweet 0.96

00:30:49.360 keep going but if she cheated on me i will crush her you will crush her well honey that's not going 1.00

00:30:56.000 to qualify you with our membership if you're prepared to crush a woman you can break up with her and 1.00

00:31:00.880 divorce her but you cannot no crushing i would i would say maybe 200 years earlier in the united kingdom

00:31:06.640 they would have run that guy out of town but in in our modern age we're tolerant and welcoming 0.95

00:31:15.280 and i think the borat effect is what we're seeing all these borats have come over racist sexist anti-gay

00:31:25.920 anti-semitic outrageous and doing many other things that are un-canadian but we're too 0.87

00:31:33.600 goofy friendly smiley tolerant passive um conflict diverse so we accept we've been trained up in

00:31:45.760 multiculturalism like when you're told from the day you're born in this country that we are a welcoming

00:31:52.960 country and we are a country of many cultures in fact when we don't even have a culture of our own

00:32:00.000 because that we are a community of cultures and that every culture is the same or the same value

00:32:08.800 has the same value they do things differently but that's diversity and diversity is our strength

00:32:15.680 so if you're if you are told that again and again and again and again you train yourself not to notice

00:32:24.240 the differences that you find wait a minute that's whoa that's not um you know that's not uh

00:32:33.600 proper or that's not right or that's not good that's not what i believe or that you know that's not what i

00:32:39.760 was brought up to it's unkind it's like all of those things you're not allowed to judge if it's another

00:32:45.680 culture because that's their culture uh so we are not just wanting to be nice we are wanting to be nice

00:32:56.240 out of fear out of fear of uh crossing that red line of being ourselves racist or in this most cases

00:33:06.160 is islamophobic or whatever it is because that's considered uh that's considered a kind of litmus test

00:33:15.280 for being a true canadian you are a multiculturalist and by the way 10 years ago it was

00:33:22.000 european leaders were able to say you know what multiculturalism has been a failure angela

00:33:28.160 merkel said with you know the migrant situation she says multiculturalism has not been a success

00:33:34.320 and there were several there was a scandinavian leader a couple of other leaders said multiculturalism

00:33:39.760 is is not what we thought it was going to be and it's not working but you can't say that now now you

00:33:45.680 can't say that you know when i was watching um a black caribbean podcast i think it was called

00:33:53.680 toronto tings uh and it was in a lovely caribbean accent and uh you know i i consume all sorts of media

00:34:00.400 i'm not just uh as i was watching toronto tings and so these are this is the caribbean community

00:34:07.760 talking about mass immigration and how it's destroying canada and i just so it's not just 1.00

00:34:17.680 right-wing old stock canadians toronto tings was saying what are we doing and he he had a he started

00:34:25.040 off with i'm not a racist you know don't jump on me but let's talk for 20 minutes about how insane

00:34:31.200 this country has become i find that hopeful in its own way i um i believe that people from different

00:34:38.880 backgrounds can come to be canadian i i don't believe it's a racial or a bloodline thing i think

00:34:46.480 there's a set of values i i'm a civic nationalist charles de gaulle perhaps the most chauvinist man

00:34:53.120 he was a perfect frenchman that way he was asked can a foreigner become french wow that's a good 0.87

00:35:02.480 question to ask charles de gaulle and he said yes gradually and in small numbers yes because you

00:35:10.240 have to inculcate you have to learn you have to learn the language the culture the history

00:35:15.760 once you allow so many people at the same time to come they're going to form and they do it's very

00:35:22.640 natural i would too if i were didn't speak the language of the new country and i didn't understand

00:35:28.960 the customs i'd want to also be with people that i was familiar with but if you have whole communities

00:35:35.120 and they're constantly reinforcing the old culture in the old country and they're not really making a

00:35:41.760 serious attempt to integrate and nobody is even saying they have to and nobody says we want you here 1.00

00:35:49.680 but these are the rules these are our values and if you're going to become canadian these are the kind

00:35:55.920 of values we're going to expect you to accommodate and to and to uh express and to rear your children

00:36:04.960 in um and here they are so i believe in the assimilation model it worked for my grandparents i i i

00:36:11.840 wasn't brought up speaking yiddish i don't mind um i think you you do immigrants should pay a price 1.00

00:36:19.920 for moving to another country and one of the prices is that you you uh you adapt to the customs language

00:36:28.480 values of the new country and you uh you learn the history of the new country and you you become a

00:36:36.400 a productive member of that community you don't set yourself in opposition to it you don't say um

00:36:43.520 we're here but we don't like your values in fact uh we're we're give us some time and we're going to

00:36:50.000 make sure that you not only accommodate our ability our capacity to run our own communities the way we see

00:36:58.240 fit even if they don't adapt if they're not like your values we don't care um but we're going to make

00:37:03.760 sure that that you also we you know in time it's our expressed wish uh that our values and our way

00:37:11.520 of life and our belief system dominate this country and that's what some of the leaders political

00:37:19.040 activists uh amongst these big crowds of people are saying very openly you see it you know certainly

00:37:26.800 in england and europe you have people screaming in the streets that's exactly what they want to do

00:37:31.520 yeah so and then you can't blame people for being frightened by it i'm frightened well i mean you're

00:37:38.560 frightened and you're being frightened that's literally the greek uh phobia being frightened is

00:37:44.320 now a crime you're phobic yeah hey let me close by showing you a clip this clip is probably the single

00:37:54.160 most viewed video that we have ever recorded now my walking scrum with albert pfizer of modern of uh

00:38:03.040 excuse me albert burla the ceo of pfizer when aviamini and i caught him on the streets of davos

00:38:09.360 that was seen about 40 million times but there is a video clip that i estimate has been seen

00:38:15.920 up to a hundred million times i encountered all the time on social media because it's clipped and bootlegged by

00:38:23.440 other people because it's so viral um most of the time our logo is sort of cropped out but you can

00:38:30.320 see it on the microphone flash it's our dear friend david the menzoid menzies encountering an immigrant 0.95

00:38:36.960 to canada at the al-quds day anti-semitic festival that the government of iran would sponsor at queen's

00:38:44.160 park every year and it's a man you you said we have to let people know the rules we have to let newcomers

00:38:50.000 know the rules this man knew the rules and he went to a citizenship ceremony

00:38:58.400 and he was silent when he was told to say an oath and here take a listen to him laugh at us saying

00:39:07.920 it was up to you to make sure i said the oath and i didn't i have met several muslims 0.99

00:39:14.080 who left islamic nations and have horror and are horrified and are horrified to see 0.95

00:39:22.080 those elements of those countries following them over to canada and the united states what would you

00:39:27.840 say to them you know muslims that want to live a secular lifestyle go to your queen and tell her

00:39:33.200 to change the laws change the laws to what sir to sharia law no change the laws to not allow any more 0.57

00:39:39.280 muslims to come to canada like if you if you are bothered by muslims because we we owe our allegiance

00:39:46.000 and our loyalty first and foremost to our religion not to the queen to be honest when i went for my 0.92

00:39:52.240 so-called oath i was silent i didn't say anything it was your responsibility to make sure you got it out 0.97

00:39:57.120 of me so when i didn't say anything i'm not i'm not liable to any there we have it we're suckers um 0.73

00:40:02.800 we're a high trust society they come from a low trust society they can't believe it i've encountered

00:40:08.880 this one time myself in my life barbara i recently had the pleasure of a lifetime to visit japan which

00:40:15.760 is an advanced civilization uh in just about every way i know they have their problems but when i went

00:40:22.320 there i felt like i was a barbarian and a brute and they are an extremely high trust society

00:40:30.080 they their crime rate is negligible i was there for two weeks i saw one homeless person the whole

00:40:38.720 time i saw one drunk person the whole time tokyo the world's largest city i don't think i heard a horn

00:40:46.400 honk um the politeness the respect for others the um care taken not to embarrass others the cleanliness

00:40:57.200 um the safety uh it was an astonishing place and i loved it but i i know occasionally people go to

00:41:08.400 japan because they take advantage of it there's some live streamers who go there to flick people in the

00:41:15.600 nose and punch people in the nose and steal they really oh that's terrible they absolutely do and they

00:41:20.560 live stream it because japan you think we're a high trust society here in canada japan that because

00:41:28.160 it's like one big ethnic family they would never do that to each other so they trust anyone it's the

00:41:33.360 it's like i mean do they lock their doors i'm sure some of them do but it is such a high trust society i

00:41:39.840 loved every minute of it and i love the people more than anything but not everyone who goes to a high

00:41:45.920 trust society says wow this is wonderful i'm going to enjoy it some people say this is a country of 0.96

00:41:51.600 suckers uh i'm going to take advantage of them um boy i'm going to cut through this place like a hot 0.96

00:41:58.960 knife through butter and we one of the things i love best about canada and the united states and 0.99

00:42:05.120 the united kingdom and western europe is that we are a high trust society and it took us millennia

00:42:11.200 to get that way it took us how many generations did it take to build up a level of trust where a

00:42:17.680 young woman can go to the bar get a little tipsy and then get a cab and have the cab take her home 0.70

00:42:23.200 without the cab driver raping her and i know that sounds like a harsh and brutal and shocking thing to

00:42:28.400 say but you find out when suddenly like in the city of halifax you have a lot of syrian and other 0.66

00:42:36.320 foreign migrants now driving cabs that they don't take those drunk women home 1.00

00:42:40.400 they sexually assault them one after the other after the other after the other 0.97

00:42:43.920 you find out that you'll slip back to medieval times you can it take it'll take you a million

00:42:49.920 it'll take you a thousand years to build up a high trust society and it'll take you one generation to

00:42:55.120 lose it on that unusual and sad note barbara i want to wrap up last word to you

00:43:01.120 well this has been a kind of depressing conversation hasn't it it always is i'm sorry

00:43:07.200 when i talk to you it makes me makes me reflect on how bad things are i know there's good things out

00:43:12.400 there too but i know well listen i think i i think i should end on the note that there's nothing wrong

00:43:17.920 with immigration there's nothing wrong with legal immigration but there have to be standards for

00:43:24.880 immigration and and as you say uh high trust societies are are based in the knowledge that

00:43:32.720 the people you meet when you walk down the street if you smile at them they're going to smile back

00:43:38.160 uh because you want to reinforce the idea that we are a community we're all pulling together for the

00:43:43.760 same end um in order to inculcate that spirit uh people have to remember we used to take civics i think

00:43:51.040 people kids used to take civics lessons uh to understand how you're supposed to act

00:43:58.240 in a civil society and i would love to see um that kind of attitude and spirit come back and i think

00:44:06.400 that if enough of us spoke out about the necessity for that maybe we would see something like that

00:44:12.640 happen but it won't be seen the only thing i'm going to disagree with you on is when you say immigration

00:44:17.760 is not a problem i'm sure at some numbers it's not a problem no no as i say not not in not in these

00:44:24.480 numbers right and not in um and not with this rapidity there's one million foreigners in this 0.52

00:44:31.200 country no no way too much way too much okay i'm glad we agree on that no no in principle it's good to

00:44:36.480 have people we're going to have to our our fertility rate right now is 1.4 right that is extremely low and

00:44:44.320 it is not replacement level so uh unless we start having more babies um immigration is our future 1.00

00:44:52.640 so we have to make sure that the immigrants that do come uh that we have uh civics or we we have we 0.97

00:45:00.320 we they that they have certain expectations and that there will be criteria to meet in terms of adapting

00:45:06.880 uh to our culture we have to agree that we had we created a culture and as you say it took millennia

00:45:16.480 um it's it's in danger so i think it's worth preserving there you have it barbara k one of

00:45:22.560 our favorite people and it's true whenever we talk i get myself all whipped up and uh and and

00:45:28.320 and pessimistic but you got to keep hope alive as uh john paul ii would say where there's life

00:45:35.520 yes that's our show for today until next time on behalf of all of us here at rebel

00:45:52.640 world headquarters to you at home good night and keep fighting for freedom
