Two-tier policing in Canada, why is thuggery rewarded, and what can be done to fix it? David Menzies answers these questions and offers some solutions to the problem. He also offers a solution to the anti-Canadian hate-fest that took place on Thanksgiving Day in Toronto.
00:35:28.000I guess you can call me a righteous Gentile.
00:35:30.880But Sue Ann, what blew me away and continues to blow me away is the level of anti-Semitism.
00:35:38.720Going back to last Thanksgiving weekend, 2023, when, for goodness sakes, the bodies of the massacre in southern Israel weren't even cold.
00:35:48.560And you had literally hundreds and hundreds of people coming out that weekend on the streets of Toronto demanding, apparently, more bloodshed.
00:36:00.780Because I was completely taken aback by the amount of Jew hatred out there.
00:36:05.840Well, let's just say I'm not surprised, because I was writing about this way back in 2009, when Queers Against Israeli Apartheid infiltrated the gay pride parade.
00:36:19.360And the politicians and the activists just allowed it to happen.
00:36:30.400The only one who stood up for the Jewish community was Rob Ford, believe it or not, back then.
00:36:35.840And it took five years to get them out of the parade.
00:36:38.340And then things just got demonstrably worse with Al-Quds marching on the streets of Toronto without a permit.
00:36:47.800You know, poor James Pasternak, the councillor at Toronto City Hall, who is Jewish and who has been fighting an uphill battle.
00:36:54.560And he came out constantly and tried to get them off the streets.
00:37:02.000And they had a very, very strong activist group, a lobby group led by Demetri Laskaris.
00:37:09.560I remember going to a city hall meeting where he stood up and he openly called me, you know, this terrible Zionist.
00:38:52.700Well, I think what happens is that their oppression mentality and DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusiveness, outweighs the fact, logic, absolute logic.
00:39:08.060Because, yes, if they went over to the Middle East, and Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
00:39:13.200And we were saying that way back with Queers Against Israeli Apartheid.
00:39:16.400But these people think that Jews or Zionists, and they don't even hide the fact.
00:39:23.760They used to call us Zionists a year ago.
00:39:26.000They say, I just hate Zionists, I don't hate Jews.
00:39:30.320It's not couched in the Zionist rhetoric.
00:39:32.700But I guess they think that we're oppressors.
00:39:39.200And these crazy, crazy queer women, radical women, with 14 nose rings and purple hair, you know, come out.
00:39:48.580And they protest for a regime that would kill them the moment they stepped into Gaza.
00:39:55.680But the worst, Dave, are the Jewish, self-loathing Jewish queers.
00:40:00.640And there are, you know, more than a few who have been on the streets of Toronto preying on the, you know, the innocent Jews and Zionists, and who are chanting that mantra.
00:40:17.100And you think, are they out of their minds?
00:41:08.980If law enforcement is now no longer about enforcing the law and keeping the peace, then, Sue Ann, why don't the cops tell these pro-Hamas demonstrators, you know what?
00:41:23.260The city of Toronto literally has thousands of intersections.
00:41:26.720Go ten blocks south, five blocks east.
00:41:31.780And if they say, I have every right to be here, again, going back to keeping the peace, that is correct.
00:41:38.520But in the interest of keeping the peace, we don't want you there.
00:41:42.840Why don't the cops give a little tough love to the pro-Hamas people, Sue Ann?
00:41:49.300Well, they haven't for the last year, Dave.
00:41:51.720They've allowed this to escalate out of control.
00:41:54.120And, you know, I think the chief is weak-willed.
00:41:58.400He's probably being given his marching orders from Olivia Chow, who has proven not to like the Jewish community and not to support the Jewish community.
00:42:07.560And, you know, they infiltrate wherever they can, and they get away with it.
00:42:13.160They pray on the downtown streets, lock traffic.
00:42:18.040And these people are breaking so many laws.
00:42:20.660I can't even – yes, I did go to that forum, Dave.
00:42:24.120And a very wise lawyer by the name of Mark Sandler, who I noticed has just given a talk at City Hall, talked about all the legal means available to them.
00:42:34.720Even if they can't determine or don't want to determine that a hate crime has been committed, and many have been committed.
00:42:42.000I mean, when you call death to Jews or you sit in a chair mocking the Jews by having a big replica of Yahya Sinwar, the hateful Hamas leader who was killed, that to me is pretty hateful.
00:42:58.400But even if they don't want to use that, let's start with the people obstructing the peace, you know, disturbing the peace, blocking intersections, obstructing the sidewalk.
00:43:11.760There are so many ways that they could use their powers to get rid of these people, but they haven't.
00:43:19.320And I think, really, now, besides the instructions, they're afraid of them.
00:43:24.700I think they're very much intimidated by these people.
00:43:27.520You know, Sue Ann, I would debate that with you.
00:43:29.880I, from what I've seen, I've been covering these demonstrations for 13 months now.
00:43:36.220I am having a hard time grasping with the idea that the rank-and-file Toronto police officers are doing this organically.
00:43:46.960You know, i.e., going after peaceful counter-demonstrators, going after members of the independent media, the most notable of which was my beloved boss, Ezra, last Sunday.
00:45:02.740There are more than five times as many Muslims as there are Jews in Canada.
00:45:06.840And I'm not saying every Muslim agrees with the atrocities we're seeing out on the street right now.
00:45:13.200But the fact is, we've made a decision.
00:45:17.300And so if you see any of the pro-Hamas types chanting genocide or acting out violently, turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.
00:45:27.420But if there are peaceful counter-demonstrators, if there are members of the non-state-funded media asking potentially impolite questions, throw the book at them.
00:46:15.940I'm not letting him off the hook because he has been silent.
00:46:19.520His Jewish solicitor general, Michael Kersner, has been absolutely spineless.
00:46:28.200So I think all of them have done either polls or counted the numbers or whatever and left the Jewish community in Toronto, in Montreal, because Val Plant in Montreal is no better, have left the Jewish community hung out to dry.
00:47:09.440And don't get me started on the federal MP, the biggest self-hating Jew in Canada, Yara Sachs, a Canadian-Israeli Jew that just for the opportunity to get a free trip to the Middle East, she got cuddly with Mahmoud Abbas, the pay-for-slate terrorist.
00:47:25.100So, there is so much blame to go around.
00:47:28.080You know, Sue Ann, we're running out of racetrack.
00:47:31.820I did a monologue earlier this month where I said what we have witnessed this past year in Canada is the jump-the-shark moment for multiculturalism.
00:47:43.220And what I mean by that is that there was always this unspoken deal with multiculturalism, which Trudeau's alleged father enacted back in 1971, which is come from wherever, pursue the Canadian dream, take advantage of our welfare programs, our free health care.
00:48:45.140There's a Syrian man who was brought in in 2015 and has just come out that he's involved with, and he travels from Kitchener to Mississauga.
00:48:54.700I don't remember his name and not that it matters, but he's been brought over.
00:48:59.480He was greeted by Trudeau, and he's now involved in these hate fests.
00:49:04.920I mean, there's so many of these people, and I think more and more will come out.
00:49:08.760And I think, you know, I hope that Donald Trump will rub off, because I think immigration, I mean, let's start with the 5,000 people, or probably more, that are being brought over from Gaza with all their hate and their support of Hamas.
00:49:25.500I mean, what the heck is the federal government doing?
00:49:33.920The Gazans, I mean, not even Arab Middle Eastern countries will take those people in.
00:49:38.580We know by polling, yeah, up to 80% of those people support Hamas.
00:49:42.900This is literally throwing gasoline on the fire.
00:49:45.860But, you know, Trudeau has outsmarted himself, because I try to go to every Trudeau fundraising dinner in the GTA, Sue Ann, and you got the patriots on one hand hurling insults at him.
00:49:59.480But on the other hand, you have the pro-Hamas people.
00:50:02.060They have posters with his face saying, genocide, Justin.
00:50:07.000Blackface must be going, what the hell do I have to do for these people?
00:50:10.820I'm appeasing them as much as possible.
00:50:18.100I went to an event with Stephen Harper two weeks ago, and outside of the Meridian Centre, and there were at least 100 protesters with his face.
00:50:54.540And the most policing I saw, and I'm not making this up, was when a couple of cops went to a peaceful counter-demonstrator, pro-Israel side, and told him to remove his hat or face arrest because it had the JDL logo on it, which is not a terrorist group.
00:51:16.660And he, and meanwhile, chants of genocide everywhere and threats that they're going to storm the building.
