Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Canada is being replaced—is freezing immigration the only way to stop it？

00:00:00.000 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

00:00:30.000 Tonight, is it time to freeze immigration? It's June 27th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:44.600 Shame on you, you sensorious bug. 0.99

00:00:50.880 I saw a bunch of news stories this morning that caused me some stress and they were all part of 0.84

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 0.90

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.

00:12:04.320 Stay with us. More ahead.

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.

00:14:27.720 Yeah, great to see you too. Thank 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

00:21:34.740 to the Court of Appeal. Is that correct?

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

00:23:59.760 that the charter doesn't apply.

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. 0.99

00:26:32.560 He hates cops. He hates Italians. There's a lot of things he hates. He only became a citizen eight 1.00

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.

00:31:04.860 We'll see you next time.

00:31:12.980 Yeah.

00:31:13.600 We'll see you then.

00:31:13.820 Bye.

00:31:13.840 Bye.

00:31:33.820 Bye.

00:31:34.160 Bye.
