Hello, my friends. In today's show, I'll take you through five related news stories that have one
00:00:04.020
thing in common, mass immigration. I'll tell you what the news is and maybe one thing we can do
00:00:09.740
about it that I learned in the UK. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to what we

Tonight, is it time to freeze immigration? It's June 27th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:50.880
I saw a bunch of news stories this morning that caused me some stress and they were all part of
00:01:04.760
the same theme. Can you guess what it is here in the five stories I'll just mention really quickly
00:01:09.720
all from today? I'll basically just read you the headlines. Story number one, Iranian officials
00:01:15.560
are banned from Canada, but this former regime member landed in April. Madi Nasiri let the world
00:01:22.460
know he was on his way to Canada in April. The former high profile Iranian official posted a series
00:01:27.780
of farewell photos, including a goodbye hug on Instagram for his more than 250,000 followers
00:01:33.320
and everyone else to see. It's story number one from the CBC. Story number two, self-identified
00:01:40.800
Gazan Canadians are organizing countrywide encampment stop protests outside immigration offices
00:01:46.920
and Parliament Hill. They're demanding that Ottawa accept family members of Palestinians already living
00:01:52.660
in Canada. They're demanding that. That's from Juneau News. Here's story number three, a video going
00:01:58.660
viral on Canadian social media shows Firas al-Najim chanting common Islamic Republic phrases in
00:02:05.440
Persian, glorifying the Supreme leader Ali Khamenei and chanting death to America in front of the U.S.
0.89
00:02:10.920
consulate in Toronto. Al-Najim is the founder and head of Canadian Defenders for Human Rights
00:02:16.520
Organization, an NGO that has taken pro-Islamic Republic stances publicly, such as lobbying the
00:02:22.840
Canadian government during a committee hearing to remove the terrorist designation from the Iran-backed
00:02:27.560
Hezbollah group in Lebanon. A couple more stories. Story number four, liberal appointee senator
00:02:34.720
Yuan Pao Wu, he's very, very pro-China, as you may know, served notice of emotion to, quote,
00:02:42.380
examine the risks to Canada and Canadians of complicity in alleged war crimes committed by Jews.
00:02:50.120
Wu was among 11 liberal appointees, a tenth of the Senate, to sign positions accusing Israel of
00:02:55.680
genocide. We urge senators to do more. And then story number five, Canada's spy agency is warning that a
00:03:03.220
small but militant group of Sikhs are using the country as a base for promoting fundraising and
00:03:08.560
planning violence in India in support of an independent homeland in Punjab. A caution some
00:03:14.100
sees a sign of shifting policies towards New Delhi. Are you exhausted from those stories? Well,
00:03:21.940
there's no rest for you yet. Every single day, seven days a week, Mark Carney is bringing in another
00:03:27.300
5,000 people to this country. 5,000 a day. Overwhelmingly from third world countries, almost
1.00
00:03:34.200
none of whom have true background checks. You know, we don't do in-person immigration meetings anymore.
00:03:40.000
You literally don't have to see anyone. It's all online. Used to be a thing that you had to be
00:03:45.460
interviewed. That's long gone. Sort of the opposite now. It's as if the government is deliberately choosing
00:03:50.380
to bring in the most antagonistic people possible. Stephen Miller, who's Donald Trump's deputy chief
00:03:57.340
of staff, who focuses mainly on immigration, says that hostile immigrants, that is people who have
0.99
00:04:02.720
not broken the law yet, but simply people who actively say they hate America, should not be
00:04:09.200
allowed in. And when you think about it, it's sort of obvious and basic and natural. I always compare
00:04:14.460
immigration to a country to immigration to your home. As in, you have family members in your home and they
00:04:19.800
have some rights there. You pretty much have to put up with them no matter what, at least until
00:04:24.580
they're grown up. But if you have guests over to your house for dinner, let's say, well, they come
00:04:29.500
under certain conditions that you can revoke at any time. Let's say there's a house at your guest for
00:04:34.380
dinner. If he's rude and hateful, you can kick him out for any reason or no reason in a way that you
00:04:41.260
wouldn't, say, kick out your own child. But you can kick out a guest from your house, even if they're just
00:04:46.260
rude, for example, or even if you're just tired. Why wouldn't we eject people who come to Canada
1.00
00:04:52.940
to actively hate us, undermine us, destroy us, even before they act on their threats and do something
00:04:59.740
illegal? Here's what the Canadian Citizenship Oath says. It's been changed recently to include
00:05:07.200
Aboriginal politics. But listen to the last sentence. Let me read to you from the official
00:05:12.880
Government of Canada page. I swear or affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance
00:05:19.120
to His Majesty King Charles III, King of Canada, his heirs and successors, and that I will faithfully
00:05:26.140
observe the laws of Canada, including the Constitution, which recognizes and affirms the
00:05:31.620
Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and fulfill my duties as a
00:05:36.940
Canadian citizen. I'm not sure why that treaty rights language is in there. That doesn't apply to
00:05:42.400
individual citizens. It's a treaty between an Indian band, typically a century ago, and the Queen,
00:05:48.480
as it was at the time. I'm not sure what that has to do with ordinary citizens. But look at that last
00:05:54.360
line, fulfill my duties as a Canadian citizen. Hey, before I forget, do you remember when David Menzies
00:06:00.940
went to an Al-Quds day, that's the anti-Semitic Iranian rally they have every year, and he met someone
00:06:08.440
who said, I didn't say the oath out loud, and you didn't make me. I tricked you. Remember that guy?
00:06:16.760
Let me just give you a little throwback to that. So would you like to see Sharia law in Canada
0.95
00:06:20.640
replace Canadian law? At some point it will. You know, because we have families, we are making
00:06:26.480
babies, you're not. Your population is going down the slump, right? And by 2060, by 2060, according
00:06:34.840
to Pew Research Institute, your research, by 2060, Muslims will be the biggest religious group the
00:06:41.540
world over. What are you going to do then? Actually, like I said, I have met several Muslims who left
00:06:48.360
Islamic nations and have horror and are horrified and are horrified to see those elements of those
1.00
00:06:57.800
countries following them over to Canada and the United States. What would you say to them? You
00:07:02.460
know, Muslims that want to live a secular lifestyle. You should go to your queen and tell her to change
1.00
00:07:07.240
the laws. Change the laws to what, sir? To Sharia law? No, change the laws to not allow any more Muslims
1.00
00:07:13.220
to come to Canada. Like if you, if you are bothered by Muslims, because we, we owe our allegiance and
00:07:19.880
our loyalty first and foremost to our religion, not to the queen, to be honest. When I went for my
00:07:25.200
so-called oath, I was silent. I didn't say anything. It was your responsibility to make sure you got it
00:07:30.620
out of me. So when I didn't say anything, I'm not, I'm not liable to any. Yeah. So don't you think we
00:07:36.460
should find that guy who boasted that he didn't say the oath and kick him out? Like, wouldn't you?
00:07:45.180
But those duties that you have to, uh, swear to fulfill, what are those duties? Does anyone ever
00:07:50.980
tell what those duties are to migrants or to the rest of us? So new citizens are swearing to do those
1.00
00:07:57.940
duties. But if those new immigrants don't know what those duties are, is it a meaningful promise?
1.00
00:08:02.800
What are those duties? To obey the law? Probably. To pay your taxes? Probably. Don't steal. Don't cheat
00:08:09.420
your way into the country. Don't lie that you're a refugee when you clearly are not.
1.00
00:08:13.160
I don't know. Maybe we should list them. They don't have to be legal duties. They could be just
00:08:17.960
civic duties. Do your civic duties. Things that aren't required by law that make you a good citizen,
00:08:23.980
contributing in some way to the broader society, learning about Canada, our history and culture
00:08:28.940
and respect it and assimilate to it. And I don't know, respect, uh, Remembrance Day and the moment
00:08:35.900
of silence where a poppy, I mean, even something as simple as giving blood, why wouldn't you do that
00:08:42.240
as a civic duty? Maybe serve formally in some way. I mean, I suppose the highest peak of that would be
00:08:47.900
to serve in the armed forces. You don't have to, it's not a legal duty, but if you can, what a way of
00:08:52.840
showing your civic duty and your loyalty to this country, maybe volunteer in the community in some
00:08:57.580
way. How about, how about this? Don't bring your quarrels from your home country here, which is
00:09:02.540
the unifying thread of those five stories I mentioned earlier. I bet you a dollar most people don't
00:09:08.680
even know that the loyalty oath contains a promise to fulfill any duties. And I bet you another dollar
00:09:13.620
that few people could name those duties. And I put it to you that Canada is being replaced.
00:09:19.480
Our history, our culture, our language, our values, and lastly, our people. And no, that's not a
00:09:24.360
conspiracy theory. That is a United Nations document that you can find by searching on Google
00:09:29.400
in about 30 seconds. It's why Zoran Mamdani is likely to be the next mayor of New York, just like
00:09:35.040
Olivia Chow is the mayor of Toronto. And it's why Canada's streets sometimes look like Gaza's streets
0.96
00:09:41.700
and our news is full of quarrels and violence. You know, I go over to the UK and to Ireland a lot, and I
00:09:46.820
brought back this campaign literature from when I was in the neighborhood of Runcorn and Hellsby.
00:09:53.280
Isn't that quite a British name? So the UK Reform Party made, it looks like a little newspaper
00:09:59.080
story, Runcorn and Hellsby's voice. And you can see Nigel Farage smiling there. It's basically a big
00:10:06.220
campaign brochure. And Runcorn and Hellsby was labor overwhelmingly. It was one of the safest labor
00:10:12.220
seats in the entire country. And then Nigel Farage ran his campaign. And I just want to show you the
00:10:18.140
four promises on the back. And you tell me if you think these would work in Canada.
00:10:24.240
Number one, and really the one that mattered, freeze immigration and stop the boats. That's how they
0.99
00:10:30.740
come over there. Stop the boats. Freeze immigration and stop the boats. By the way, do you think of
0.99
00:10:38.400
Pierre Polyev had said that in the campaign? Freeze immigration and stop the planes, probably.
00:10:43.600
The media would have squawked. The liberals would have squawked. But you know who would have loved it?
00:10:48.100
I think people, including other immigrants who were saying, what are we doing taking two million
00:10:52.840
people a year? I'll just read the other three points since I'm here. Reverse labor's winter fuel
00:10:57.460
cuts. Scrap net zero to cut your energy bills. Reward work and cut your taxes. Sort of boilerplate. I like
00:11:06.960
the scrap net zero. It would be their version of saying scrap the carbon tax. But that first one,
00:11:11.640
freeze immigration and stop the boats, you know, literally in the last 24 hours,
00:11:17.760
Nigel Farage's upstart Reform UK has won two local councils. The UK has broken up a little bit
00:11:25.220
differently than, jurisdictionally than Canada is. But he's winning in town after town where the
00:11:31.080
Labour Party used to be strong or the Conservative Party used to be strong. Nigel Farage leads the number
00:11:37.520
one party in that country. And it is because of the only thing people know about that party.
00:11:43.480
He's going to stop immigration. And he's getting bolder and bolder. And I put it to you,
0.94
00:11:48.620
the first of all, had Pierre Polyev said, freeze immigration and stop the planes. And second,
00:11:54.680
second of all, if he does that in the future, that way he will win. Until then,
00:12:00.500
well, the mushier he is on this subject, the mushier I think his support will be.
00:12:14.200
Oh, a lot of things are done in the name of public safety. Think of all the things they were done to
00:12:24.760
us and got us to do during the pandemic in the name of safety, you see. It wasn't in the name of their
00:12:31.360
power. It was about keeping you safe. That word safety has been used for centuries. I don't know
00:12:38.760
if you recall from your history classes, but the Committee of Public Safety was the name of the
00:12:45.060
communist revolutionaries in France that chopped off a few heads by guillotine. And of course, these
00:12:54.660
days, the internet has to be kept safe from online harms. In Australia, they actually call their censor
00:13:02.580
the e-safety commissioner. That word safety, it's quite something. And I say all that because this
00:13:10.080
case out of Vancouver, it's a doozy. Let me read a little bit from a press release from our friends
00:13:16.160
at the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms.
00:13:17.900
Court to decide if public universities must uphold freedom of expression and be liable for charter
00:13:24.200
infringement. So we'll talk about that in a moment. But let me just read a little bit
00:13:27.720
of what is at stake, what caused this court case. In 2019, the University of British Columbia canceled an
00:13:38.540
understanding Antifa violence event hosted by the student-run Free Speech Club. Get this,
00:13:46.300
citing concerns about the emotional and psychological safety and security of the campus community.
00:13:55.380
They weren't worried about the actual safety of Antifa committing violence. It was the emotional
00:14:04.640
and psychological safety. And so the government had to come in and protect people by censoring the
00:14:11.500
events. The things you can do if you promise safety. Joining us now via Skype from Calgary is the lawyer
00:14:18.120
for the Justice Center who is battling the University of British Columbia. And we'll get him to explain the
00:14:24.400
details. Glenn Blackett joins us now. Glenn, great to see you.
00:14:29.160
Boy, the things they do in the name of safety. So I want to ask about the lawsuit in a moment, but first just
00:14:33.460
help me make sure I get all the facts. So what was this event? So I guess this is six years ago before COVID.
00:14:39.500
Some students at UBC wanted to have an event describing the violence of the left. That seems
00:14:46.360
to be completely appropriate for a university inquiry. It feels like the university was actually
00:14:52.240
siding with Antifa. Yeah, I would say that. To back up a little bit, in the months prior to that
00:14:59.060
cancellation, that same club, those same students had hosted a couple of events, which were provocative
00:15:06.520
events or somewhat provocative events. And some student groups had shown up, one calling itself
00:15:11.860
the Students Against Bigotry. And then also Antifa had showed up. And there was a lot of,
00:15:18.880
you know, protest verging on or tripping over into violence, you know, banging on doors, pulling fire
00:15:28.480
alarms, blocking entrances, that kind of stuff. So they were really making, you know, a show of
00:15:35.360
themselves. The university chose not to sanction any of the students that were involved in that.
00:15:43.160
And so the event that was eventually cancelled was a very relevant and timely one, because it was the
00:15:50.580
same group that had invited journalist Andy Ngo from the US to come and talk on the subject of Antifa
00:15:58.100
violence. So it was quite ironic that then that talk had to be cancelled so that the problem of Antifa
00:16:05.420
violence couldn't be better understood, because Antifa violence was actually leading to this
00:16:10.720
cancellation. That's incredible. And I forgot that Andy Ngo was involved. He, just for our viewers,
00:16:16.280
is an outstanding journalist. He was based in Portland before. In fact, he was brutally,
00:16:21.640
he was almost killed. I actually attended a trial in Portland where he sued Antifa for basically gang
00:16:32.500
violence against him. It was actually, even the trial itself was shocking. The Antifa activists in
00:16:37.880
the court were clearly threatening the jury. I'd never seen anything like it in my life. Wow,
00:16:44.840
I forgot about that connection. So in Portland, if I may just detour for a second, one of the grossest
00:16:52.180
things was how police have basically been ordered to let Antifa rule the streets. It's almost like
00:16:58.360
they're a street team of the far left political authority. It really is shades of 1930s Germany when the
00:17:06.300
brown shirts ran around beating people up with the nod and the wink of the Nazis who hadn't gone full
00:17:14.640
Holocaust yet. In Portland, the government winked. And same in other big cities. And I would say it's
0.86
00:17:23.440
the same in Montreal. Antifa gets a special pass. I think, I'm sort of shocked to hear that was done
00:17:29.960
by the University of British Columbia, though. Tell me what they said. Where did these words safety,
00:17:35.080
emotional and psychological safety, was that actually said by UBC? Was that in some document?
00:17:41.460
Because that's an astonishing thing to say. Yeah. Yeah, it is an astonishing thing to say. Now,
00:17:47.480
they did also cite physical safety concerns. But they also cited emotional concerns, including
00:17:54.580
people's sense of belonging in the community. How about Andy Knows' sense of belonging and his ability
00:18:00.800
to attend an event without getting beat up? Right, right. I mean, and this is the nature of
00:18:06.040
inclusivity, right? We include those who are ideologically compliant. Yeah, I mean, it was
00:18:11.860
fascinating. They put that rate in a letter. They also, you know, I think an interesting bit of
00:18:17.360
background is that when the event was booked, the group went through the same rigmarole that they had
00:18:24.220
typically gone through. The university had the same, you know, information that they had ahead of the
00:18:29.520
other events in order to plan accordingly, etc. What happened was an organization, which is a Labour
00:18:36.320
Congress called the Vancouver District Labour Congress, caught wind of the fact that this was
00:18:42.260
happening. And they sent a letter to the president and or the president of the university, Santa Ono.
00:18:51.160
And the in the letter, they accused Andy Knows' being a far right provocateur, which is kind of
00:18:57.400
hilarious. I think that Andy Knows is actually more a child of the left or what the left used to be.
00:19:02.380
And not a provocatory journalist. They find that provocative, I suppose. Anyway, in the letter,
00:19:07.840
the Vancouver Labour Congress requested or demanded that the university cancel the free speech event
00:19:13.460
for the very purpose of censoring Andy Knows so that he couldn't speak. And the president took that
00:19:21.140
letter, turned around moments later and sent it off to the VP of students and asked one question,
00:19:26.760
who approved this event? Wow. Wow. Not, you know, is this safe? So, you know, it's hard to characterize
00:19:34.340
that as anything but a political choice. And then sure enough, a few days later, the university decided
00:19:41.020
to cancel that event, including after they looked at the Students Against Bigotry social media feed,
00:19:46.680
where there were a demands that it not go ahead and statements to the effect of we must not allow this
00:19:53.800
to proceed. And so once the university saw that, you know, they understood the kind of safety concerns
00:20:00.320
that they had to deal with. And they expeditiously canceled the event. You know, there's a phrase,
00:20:06.460
the heckler's veto, which is you're in a public meeting, someone wants to speak, and someone just
00:20:11.780
keeps shouting and shuts them down and says, oh, I'm exercising my free speech. No, you're actually
00:20:16.480
destroying someone else's. That's sort of what ringing the fire alarm bell falsely is.
00:20:21.120
But it sounds like Antifa and this fake Students Against Bigotry group were going much further.
00:20:26.580
They were threatening violence. And instead of doing their duty to uphold the safety of
00:20:31.440
students on campus, the University of British Columbia caved in like the police in Portland do.
00:20:39.640
Now, here's an interesting thing. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to government actors,
00:20:44.420
to the federal government, provincial government, city government, or people working for the
00:20:50.040
government or government policies. It's a pretty broad shield. And I use the word shield because
00:20:55.120
it's designed to protect people from the force of the state. Now, UBC, which receives massive support
00:21:01.980
from various levels of government, claims that it doesn't have to abide by the Charter, that it's immune
00:21:08.560
from constitutional considerations. It can censor the Andy knows of the world. It can cave into violence
00:21:15.860
and silence and give a heckler's veto to the thugs, claiming they're not a government institution.
00:21:21.260
I understand that's where this battle is now, is that the university has said, no, we are not bound
00:21:26.880
by the Charter. We're not even pretending that we follow the Charter because we don't have to.
00:21:31.720
Tell me the state of the law and what you guys are doing. I understand you're headed
00:21:36.620
That's right. Yeah, we've already launched our appeal. And we are now in the Court of Appeal a
00:21:42.280
second time on a procedural issue. But the state of the law in Canada is, in the 1990s, the Supreme
00:21:48.560
Court of Canada decided a series of cases where they determined that the Charter did not apply
00:21:54.580
to the universities at issue there, one of which was UBC. And Justice Laforet, who wrote the majority
00:22:02.580
of opinion in those cases, was very careful to say, which he didn't need to be careful if judges
00:22:08.880
had their judicial hats on from then on. But he was very careful to say that this is based on the
00:22:15.320
way universities are structured and organized today. Meaning, if it changes in the future, then
00:22:22.220
the outcome of this case changes, or the outcome of this rule would change. And the argument that
00:22:29.620
we've made it in BC, and I think the only time that it's really been made in any serious way,
00:22:35.400
is that if you look thoroughly at the relationship now between the province and the university,
00:22:40.640
there's clearly a very significant degree of governmental control over the university,
00:22:46.200
including board members that are required to take training where they learn that they are
00:22:52.920
accountable to the government, including annual agreements entered into by the government and
00:23:00.320
the province where the president and chair of the board of UBC agree to be accountable to the
00:23:08.200
government. And the whole system is actually even described by the province as the accountability
00:23:13.820
framework. So the province is very clear and has implemented this giant scheme to ensure that
00:23:20.400
the university is accountable to them. And there are hundreds of different sorts of areas in which
00:23:27.820
the university must comply with provincial objectives when delivering their program. So our argument to
00:23:35.180
the court was, okay, well, let's take the rule in those 1990 cases that if there's sufficient
00:23:40.100
government control, then it becomes an order of government. And let's apply it to the facts today.
00:23:46.280
And the problem we have is that the lower court, and to some extent the Alberta, or sorry, the BC
00:23:52.200
Court of Appeal in a 2016 case have basically said, it doesn't matter if the facts change, the law is
00:24:02.560
Well, I hope that you are successful, not only because I'm sympathetic to the free speech club on
00:24:09.020
campus. And I despise Antifa and the fact that it has burrowed into institutions, including security
00:24:15.840
institutions, whether it's in Portland, San Francisco, Montreal, or UBC. And I think that universities are
00:24:25.060
so biased, I don't think anyone would doubt that, but the way they treat certain students who you would
00:24:34.620
call political dissidents, I think, in some cases absolutely would be illegal or unconstitutional if the
00:24:41.080
charter applied. So, you know, you mentioned one thing, and it got my gears in my head going. You mentioned the
00:24:47.340
president of the university at the time was Santa Ono. And that's a very unique name. And so it rang a bell for me. And I
00:24:54.000
know he's no longer the president. And Santa Ono was hired by the University of Florida. He was hired,
00:25:04.220
I mean, he's moved around. And the Florida Board of Governance, which has to approve the presidents of
00:25:11.680
different universities, vetoed that and canceled that because of his extreme politics, because of his
00:25:19.660
belief in extreme DEI, race-based hiring, because of his extreme views on climate activism. So it's very
00:25:27.480
interesting to me that the guy who was presiding over this was so extreme that Florida, in fact, there
00:25:33.800
was some, I remember, I think it was Donald Trump Jr. who said, you know, you belong at some wackadoodle
00:25:38.580
California university. Yeah, or unfortunately, UBC. Listen, I wish you good luck. You're not just fighting
00:25:44.460
for the Free Speech Club. You're fighting for any student who is abused by hyper-partisan universities.
00:25:50.720
And in the case of Andy Ngo, who suffered physical violence from it. So good luck out there.
0.60
00:25:55.620
Okay, thank you very much. All right, we've been talking to Glenn Blackett,
00:25:58.780
working for the Justice Center, fighting for freedom at UBC. Stay with us. More ahead.
00:26:14.460
Hey, welcome back. Your letters to me. The first one is on Zoran Mamdani. I have to learn how to say
00:26:21.360
that name. John says he's on par with Canadian liberals. It's a toss-up. Yeah, I mean, and look,
00:26:27.120
in fairness to him, even though he hates America, clearly he says so as much. He hates white people.
00:26:32.560
He hates cops. He hates Italians. There's a lot of things he hates. He only became a citizen eight
00:26:38.040
years ago. I mean, it's quite something. But in fairness, someone let him in. He was not actually an
00:26:43.300
illegal immigrant. And if you let someone in your country, you are saying you get to do things like
1.00
00:26:48.280
run for office. Are you surprised by that? Next letter, Prism Jim says, doesn't New York have
00:26:54.760
ranked voting? I seem to recall the current mayor overcame an early lead by his opponent
00:27:00.180
because the second and third choices of other candidates went to him. I don't know. But I do
00:27:07.700
know he beat Andrew Cuomo in the primary. He got hundreds of thousands of votes. He has the media
00:27:15.160
attention. Now he is the endorsement of all the grand poobahs in the Democrat Party. I think he's
0.93
00:27:22.240
the leading candidate. He's the one to beat. Last letter from a lurking poster. You don't mess with the
00:27:30.760
Zoran. The Republicans are lucky he can't run for president. The charisma of Obama, combined with
00:27:36.780
the politics of Bernie Sanders, is a powerful combination. That is true. You are very true. I
00:27:42.340
saw a news story today that in his entire life, he's only worked for three years. And I thought,
00:27:49.040
okay, good one. But that knock could be set against Justin Trudeau, who arguably has never worked. I
00:27:56.300
mean, he was a substitute drama teacher. He taught snowboarding. That didn't stop him from getting the
00:28:01.060
top job. He's got an EQ, emotional intelligence. He attracts the socialist white left and the migrant
0.98
00:28:14.680
right or left. I don't know what you would call migrant votes. I think he's going to be the next
1.00
00:28:21.440
mayor of New York. And don't think we're immune to that in Canada. We are further down that path
00:28:27.060
than they are in the United States. And yeah, that's our show for the day. Until next time,
00:28:32.760
on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep
00:28:37.820
fighting for freedom. Breaking news. Donald Trump has just said he is canceling all trade talks with
00:28:51.080
Canada. Sort of a shocking announcement. And his reason is that Mark Carney has said he's going to
00:28:57.100
tax the internet, a digital services tax. And those taxes will fall on U.S. companies, whether it's
00:29:04.740
Netflix or Twitter. We don't know the details yet. But Donald Trump is having none of it. And to make
00:29:10.220
his point, he's saying he will cease all trade talks with Canada until Carney withdraws. Now, that's
00:29:15.960
Trump's point of view. But look, put yourself in the shoes of an ordinary Canadian, which you are.
00:29:20.980
We don't want this digital services tax either. We do not want an internet tax. Not on Netflix,
00:29:26.180
not on Facebook, not on Twitter. And there's two reasons for that. Number one, we don't want to pay
00:29:30.860
another tax. But even more importantly, we do not want to set the precedent that Mark Carney gets to
00:29:37.200
regulate the internet. I don't know if you remember, but in the last parliament, Justin Trudeau
00:29:42.060
introduced the Online Harms Act, a vicious censorship law, the strictest in the world.
00:29:48.100
Literally, it had North Korea-style punishments in it, including life in prison. There's no life
00:29:53.700
in prison for anything in Canada. There is in his censorship rules. Now, that dissolved when
00:29:58.560
Justin Trudeau dissolved the last parliament. But if you look at Mark Carney's heritage department,
00:30:03.140
they say their number one strategic priority for this year is bringing back that internet
00:30:08.700
regulation. So we've got to sign a petition against it. And I will personally deliver the
00:30:14.580
petition to Parliament Hill. Go right now to StopTheInternetTax.ca. StopTheInternetTax.ca.
00:30:24.040
There's three good reasons for it. Number one, we got to get our trade deal back on track with the
00:30:29.080
United States. Number two, don't give Mark Carney any more tax money. Tell him to cut his spending
00:30:34.860
instead. And number three, we've got to stop him from getting the precedent of regulating the internet.
00:30:41.700
If he taxes it today, he'll censor it tomorrow. You've got to go to StopTheInternetTax.ca. And I'll
00:30:48.960
let you know when I'm dropping it off at Parliament. Thanks.
00:30:55.700
Mark Carney wants to tax the internet. We've got to stop him. Sign our petition now at StopTheInternetTax.ca.
