Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Freeloading Freeland spends billions more with no plan to balance the budget

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. The new liberal budget is out. I don't think there's that many surprises in it.

00:00:04.780 I think they're just throwing a lot of money around. Really, one last hurrah before Pierre

00:00:09.200 Polyev kicks him out. That's my hope, at least. I'll take you through it, and then we'll interview

00:00:12.700 Ian Moss Chong, a Rebel News contributor. The Australian government is trying to censor him.

00:00:19.600 Well, see what's up there. That's all ahead. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber

00:00:34.360 you're helping Rebel News. We do not take a dime from Trudeau, and it shows. All right, here's today's

00:00:39.660 podcast. Tonight, Chrystia Freeland introduces what will

00:00:58.980 hopefully be her last budget. It's April 16th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:05.980 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:18.540 Chrystia Freeland has always been a terrible choice for anything important in government. She really 0.99

00:01:24.780 has never had a real job. She's a finance minister, but has no background whatsoever in

00:01:30.120 financial matters. She's not an economist or an accountant. In fact, her real life has been a

00:01:35.660 disaster. I don't know if you know this, but she went away from Canada for a very long time. She spent

00:01:41.180 some time in the States, and for some reason, someone at the large company Reuters Thompson

00:01:48.780 appointed her to run their big high-tech project called Reuters Next. Hundreds of staff, tens of

00:01:57.420 millions of dollars poured into it. It was going to be their next high-tech thing. She ran it into the

00:02:03.420 ground. She blew millions, tens of millions of dollars when she was done as their leader. They just 0.96

00:02:10.080 shut it down and walked away. Let me quote to you from an incredible recap of it. I think this was in

00:02:15.200 BuzzFeed, which did a story on it. I'm just going to read a couple paragraphs. This is how she ran 0.99

00:02:21.360 a company into the ground, but where instead of thinking of the company, think of what she's done

00:02:28.420 in the department she's run. Let me quote. The project decided against using any internal resources.

00:02:35.620 The belief was that they were mired in bureaucracy, and they were not the team to build a new vision

00:02:41.160 for editorial, the current Reuters employee said. The decision to hire outside vendors infuriated

00:02:48.540 skeptical Reuters insiders, said yet another former Reuters employee who was involved with the next

00:02:53.680 project. Costs steadily rose with new hires and payments to vendors and consultants as the project

00:03:01.280 dragged on, and the launch date was continually postponed. While earlier articles estimated the cost

00:03:07.600 at around $5 million, sources close to the project said that actual figure was three to four times

00:03:13.100 that amount, or between $15 and $20 million. Moreover, the first former Reuters employee said

00:03:19.080 that the Activate, that was a consultant they'd hired, was paid $300,000 a month. I won't go on,

00:03:25.880 but you can see a few things. Refusing to take advice from anyone who knows what they're doing. Hiring

00:03:30.840 outside contractors and consultants at shocking high prices. Not listening to anyone. And then, of course,

00:03:37.540 she just bailed out and walked away as the whole thing crumpled. Imagine putting that woman in 1.00

00:03:42.060 charge of anything. I mean, it's like the Arrive Can scandal. They were sending, the past was sending

00:03:47.980 us a warning about the future. Before she destroyed that product, seriously, when she was done with 1.00

00:03:53.620 Reuters next, Reuters just walked away from that crater. They didn't even try and pick up the pieces.

00:03:59.560 Before that, she wrote a pop culture book called Plutocrats, where she pretended to be against the 0.75

00:04:07.060 super rich. But she basically fawned over billionaires. It was sort of like Lifestyles at the Rich and Famous. 0.89

00:04:13.100 I think that's where she met George Soros, the billionaire leftist. And they sort of had a

00:04:21.780 platonic romance. And Chrystia Freeland was hired as George Soros' official biographer. That was her title

00:04:30.500 until she entered Parliament. She did not disconnect from Soros at all. I don't know if you remember

00:04:36.980 this, but Trudeau was elected in the fall of 2015. His first World Economic Forum meeting was in January

00:04:45.120 2016. Chrystia Freeland set that all up. And that was the famous meeting with Soros and Trudeau.

00:04:53.280 And the larger version of the photo we always show you, Chrystia Freeland's there too. The three of them,

00:04:59.000 that was the connection between Soros and Trudeau. Anyways, when she came back to Canada to run

00:05:04.960 for Parliament, she had been away for so long. And she bought a house in Toronto for $1.3 million.

00:05:11.580 And this made a little bit of news because it was such an expensive house. Of course, these days,

00:05:16.180 the average house in Toronto is more than a million dollars. I didn't find it particularly shocking that

00:05:21.680 a woman in her 40s, married with kids, would buy a house in Toronto that was over a million dollars. 0.99

00:05:28.420 I have to tell you, that is the average price of a house. Now, what was bizarre and telling to me

00:05:35.500 is that when she came back to Toronto, this was about 11 years ago, and she bought that house,

00:05:40.540 and both her and her husband were working. I told you some of the projects she was on.

00:05:44.960 She needed her parents to co-sign the loan for her, to co-sign the mortgage.

00:05:48.860 And I'm not making fun of anyone. I mean, I think most people buying a house need help in Canada

00:05:56.060 because houses are so extraordinarily expensive, largely because Trudeau has quadrupled immigration,

00:06:03.080 and it's just supply and demand. If you bring in 2.2 million people last year, which Trudeau did,

00:06:09.020 obviously housing prices are going to go up. So I'm not making fun of people who are having trouble

00:06:13.600 paying their mortgage. But if you are in your 40s and you're working and your husband's working

00:06:19.620 and you came from all these rock star jobs and you can't get a mortgage on your own,

00:06:26.760 what does that say about your own credit, your own ability to save? And this is the person who's

00:06:33.640 becoming finance minister? Anyways, let's take a quick look at the budget. A huge increase in taxes.

00:06:38.580 I bet you didn't see that coming. Capital gains tax. Everyone on the left likes capital gains tax

00:06:44.000 because it socks it to the capitalists. That's a great idea until they all leave and go somewhere

00:06:51.480 else where they can invest and take risks and make money and it won't be taken from them. The carbon tax,

00:06:57.700 of course, is being jacked up again. They have an idea for a tax on vacant land. Apparently that's

00:07:03.880 going to make people spend more money to buy houses. I think that's the theory on it.

00:07:08.580 They say they want to help out millennials and Generation Z, so they're bringing in a vape tax.

00:07:15.380 I think most people using vapes are young kids trying to get off of cigarettes or even they'll

00:07:21.140 not be young kids. They could be people of any age. You may not like vapes. They may not be cool.

00:07:26.260 They may not be aesthetic, but they're a way for people to get off of cigarettes taxing them. It's

00:07:30.660 only, of course, going to build up a black market. But of course, the liberal thing is all about

00:07:35.780 spending and this budget is nearly 53 billion dollars more in spending than planned. Of course,

00:07:42.820 they take care of their base increased spending on the CBC. Of course, they're investing in anti-hate

00:07:50.820 with over one billion dollars in cumulative spending. A billion dollars for their anti-hate,

00:07:57.060 which, of course, is their own form of hate. They're already spending on the Online Harms Act,

00:08:02.500 you know, Bill C-63. It hasn't passed yet, but they're already budgeting for it. That's how certain

00:08:06.740 they are. They're going to pass their censorship bill. They have a billion in there for spending on

00:08:12.020 students, including for housing. That's a neat trick given that about half of the students in this

00:08:17.380 country are foreign, and they're getting help with housing. It's sort of unusual that way.

00:08:24.420 In fact, this budget contemplates 1.1 billion dollars for foreign asylum seekers. We're actually

00:08:31.620 going to spend 1.1 billion dollars. Gee, I wonder if that's going to attract even more migrants to our 0.99

00:08:37.300 country. They have a weird approach to housing. Again, there's no one in Trudeau's cabinet who's

00:08:43.860 actually ever done anything. Trudeau is not used to working class people or even business people,

00:08:51.140 let alone people with a trade. Remember that phrase he used the other day? I met with some

00:08:55.380 overalled people. Oh, they were wearing overalls. A few years ago, I was in Hamilton in a classic steel

00:09:02.980 plant. I was meeting some of those overalled folks who were proud to say that they were third and even

00:09:10.820 fourth generation steel workers in Hamilton. So much for a part of the working people. 0.76

00:09:18.340 They don't know how housing is built. They just know they want to do more of it. So they announced

00:09:23.380 that they're going to double the number of houses being built in this country, 4 million new houses.

00:09:33.060 How do you literally double the number of houses being built? You can't do that. There's not enough

00:09:40.100 construction people. It's just an insane idea. Their aforementioned land tax. They have this idea

00:09:49.140 that they're going to turn post offices and national defense land into housing projects.

00:09:56.580 I don't think lack of land is the problem. I really don't. Canada is the second largest

00:10:01.540 country in the world. Now, I know a lot of that is the Arctic, but it's not land. There's no shortage of

00:10:08.500 land. They say they're going to double housing bills, but I just don't know how. I don't think

00:10:13.940 they know how. I think they just think if they announce it with great emphasis, it'll happen.

00:10:20.100 You know, I don't think this budget's going to move the needle on anything

00:10:23.940 other than there's throwing money around for one last party for all their friends, the anti-hate

00:10:29.460 industry, the CBC, foreign migrants, foreign students. It's just really one last

00:10:35.700 round of free drinks before the bar is shut down. I don't think anyone who is hostile to them is even

00:10:42.020 listening to them anymore at this point. And it reminds me of this tweet by David Coletto,

00:10:47.060 my favorite pollster. He's with Abacus, which leans liberal. But I think David's a smart guy.

00:10:52.580 And he said this a few weeks ago, so this was not about the budget. He was

00:10:55.700 talking about other liberal announcements. But I think what he said applies today, too.

00:11:00.020 This is David Coletto. He said,

00:11:02.580 think about a situation in your own life when you've decided you don't like or trust someone.

00:11:09.860 How hard is it for that person to win you back? That's what is happening with PM Trudeau at the

00:11:14.980 moment. People think a lot of the policies they are rolling out are good. They just aren't going to

00:11:21.620 vote for him again. Now, I don't know if people think Trudeau's policies are good or bad. I think

00:11:26.260 most people aren't even listening to them. And they're not analyzing them. Like, you're just going

00:11:31.620 to wave a wand and an extra two million houses will magically appear because you're going to make some

00:11:38.100 of them on post office land. They're just making it up as they go. But I think David Coletto is right.

00:11:44.340 No one likes Trudeau anymore. No one trusts him anymore. No one's listening to him anymore.

00:11:49.780 This budget was just about passing around the freebies before they're thrown out of office.

00:11:55.700 Stay with us. More ahead.

00:11:57.060 It's a tough question for social media companies. What do you censor in the name of taste or obscenity or

00:12:16.180 violence? And I mention that because, of course, whenever there's a terrorist attack or, let's say,

00:12:22.500 a mass shooter incident, on the one hand, everyone wants to know the news. And they don't want to be

00:12:29.460 told you can't handle the truth. On the other hand, what is just titillating violence for its own

00:12:36.900 sake? What is something that should not be shown for reasons of age or taste or perhaps even turning

00:12:45.700 a mass killer into a celebrity? But I'll tell you where I come down on the subject. I'm an adult,

00:12:51.540 and most social media apps have a minimum age cut off. You can't be on it if you're under 14 or 16,

00:12:59.780 I suppose. Of course, there's parental settings. And where I come down is if I want to see the news,

00:13:05.380 I want to see the news. There is no one else I trust to see the news for me and to decide for me

00:13:11.940 if I'm grown up enough to see it. And I say this because the other day there was a stabbing attack,

00:13:18.900 motivated, it turns out, by radical Islam, a stabbing attack on a Christian priest in Australia.

00:13:26.820 And of course, his religious ceremony was being live streamed. And this is the shocking moment.

00:13:34.100 I'm going to warn you that this is a troubling sight to see, but that's what we're talking about here.

00:13:39.460 Take a look at this.

00:13:50.100 Well, that man was quickly overpowered and taken into custody. Our contributor,

00:14:00.900 Ian Miles Chung, who is very active on Twitter, was one of the people who tweeted that video out early.

00:14:08.500 And he tweeted it not to be salacious, but because it was a central piece of evidence in the story,

00:14:16.180 like a prosecutor would put exhibit A to a jury. Here's what's going on. And that was fine under

00:14:23.460 Twitter's rules. But it wasn't fine for Australia's new e-safety commissioner. Yes, there is such a thing.

00:14:32.020 Joining us now is our friend Ian Miles Chung to tell us what this e-safety commissioner did

00:14:39.540 when Ian shared the news. Ian, great to see you again. Thanks for taking the time.

00:14:42.980 Likewise. Thank you.

00:14:44.660 The e-safety commissioner, her job, she's Julia Inman Grant. She used to work for Twitter, so she has a 0.74

00:14:51.140 bit of an axe to grind with Elon Musk. She doesn't like Twitter very much or X these days. And she is

00:14:58.420 claiming that X is a hotbed of extremist propaganda, disinformation, so on and so forth. Like we see this

00:15:05.860 narrative being told day after day from every single person just like her, right? You had the

00:15:11.220 disinformation governance board in America. That's been shut down. But unfortunately, Australia has

00:15:17.700 her. And she wants me and perhaps a few other people to take down the video of the stabbing,

00:15:23.540 as well as the previous stabbing in Sydney that claimed the lives of six people. Now,

00:15:28.340 there's nothing in the previous video that even shows any stabbings. It simply shows police attending

00:15:34.340 to the victims. And she wants us to take it down. Why? Because it goes against the narrative that

00:15:39.940 Sydney's a peaceful place. Right. I forgot about that other stabbing as well. Sydney in Australia has

00:15:46.100 had a lot of terrorizing moments. Now, I want to check with you because I follow you on Twitter

00:15:52.660 closely, of course. But the particular tweets that this e-safety commissioner was complaining about,

00:15:59.220 you just showed the original images. You didn't lie about them. I don't even think you had a lot

00:16:06.260 of commentary. You were just describing them like a photo caption might describe a photo.

00:16:12.820 Was there anything in particular that seemed to stick in the craw of this e-safety commissioner other

00:16:19.620 than, like you say, it went against the narrative. He was someone who apparently, it sounds like he

00:16:24.820 shouted, Allah Akbar, when he stabbed this priest. And then that other stabbing incident in the mall,

00:16:32.180 I think you just described them. Was there something in particular that bothered this lady?

00:16:36.180 Yes. I don't know. Because when I posted those videos, like for instance, with the stabbing the

00:16:42.500 church, I didn't even catch what he said. I have no idea what he said. And while some people may

00:16:47.140 suggest that he said Allah Akbar, I don't know for sure. Right. I wasn't there, obviously. Right.

00:16:51.860 And I simply posted it as is, because that's what I saw on the live stream. That's what many people saw on

00:16:56.980 the live stream. Millions of people tune in. It is Mar Mari Emmanuel, and he's extremely popular. So,

00:17:03.540 you know, her trying to take down these videos, it's a bit like putting the toothpaste back in the 0.68

00:17:08.980 tube. It's not going to work. Right. Right.

00:17:11.540 I guess this e-safety commissioner, because she came from Twitter before the Elon Musk free speech

00:17:17.220 era, she's used to being your babysitter, your minder, your governess. And if I was a child, I suppose I

00:17:25.940 would have to yield to the judgment of a babysitter. But I'm a man, and I'm interested in the news, and

00:17:31.140 I can choose. And maybe there's a setting on Twitter. There is, in fact. You can have it use AI to screen

00:17:40.100 out adult images or not. Google calls it safe search, etc. All the apps have it. It urges me that she wants

00:17:48.900 to be my nanny. I got a question for you. Would you have heard about this complaint had Twitter not

00:17:56.980 disclosed it to you? Like, you didn't receive any inquiry directly from this net nanny, did you?

00:18:05.060 None whatsoever. This woke commissar simply lodged a complaint with Twitter, sorry, X, and claimed that

00:18:11.300 I was violating the laws of Australia. No details were given. X is, you know, they're extremely

00:18:17.860 transparent, and they didn't provide me any details of this. So she simply took, you know, action and

00:18:22.820 tried to take these videos down. Now, keep in mind, I'm not a citizen of Australia. She has no

00:18:26.980 jurisdiction over me, nor does she have any jurisdiction over X, for that matter. And yet she

00:18:31.540 somehow sees fit to try to remove a bit of news that is not to her liking. And now keep in mind,

00:18:38.660 the video, when it was posted, it was like, I personally flagged it as sensitive. So you do

00:18:43.940 have to toggle the safety thing to turn it off and actually see it. So you yourself took steps

00:18:51.700 to telegraph to viewers, this is sensitive. So you actually did give a sort of viewers guidance,

00:19:00.580 viewer discretion advice. I didn't know you did that. Well, that shows that you were being very

00:19:04.980 thoughtful about it. You know, you mentioned a moment ago that this sensor does not have jurisdiction

00:19:10.420 over you. I think that's true. But you said she doesn't have jurisdiction over Twitter, or X. I

00:19:15.940 don't know if that's true, because of course, maybe that's not true. Every jurisdiction Twitter operates,

00:19:20.900 X operates, I keep saying Twitter, because it'll take me another five years to get the new terminology.

00:19:28.180 They have to abide by the laws in which they're active. We've recently seen how Brazil has tried

00:19:34.020 to twist their arm to get them to censor political enemies of the regime or something. It's quite shocking.

00:19:39.540 Um, theoretically, if this sensor had legal authority, she could put some sort of ban on Twitter,

00:19:49.140 a fine on Twitter, even do what Brazil looks like it might do, which is ban Twitter.

00:19:55.220 Um, but that raises another question. What exactly are her powers? What exactly is the law? And

00:20:02.260 frankly, how dare she have a sneak attack on you without even reaching out to you? Those are

00:20:07.300 questions I think that we should probably try and find answers to in the days ahead. Like, is she just a 0.79

00:20:13.460 complainer? Does she have any, does she have a bite as well as the bark? I don't know. 0.93

00:20:19.060 I don't know. I think she has the ability to make suggestions to the government to take action,

00:20:25.380 but I don't think she has any direct powers. You know, it would be interesting to see who,

00:20:30.260 I wonder what, one of the things that gets me about this, Ian, is it was a sneak attack

00:20:35.220 on you, if you know what I mean. You didn't hear about it from her. You didn't get a copy of it from

00:20:39.940 her. You heard about it because Twitter disclosed it to you. How many other complaints has she filed? 0.88

00:20:47.140 Are they always disclosed? Who does she choose to go after? Is she partisan and biased? I bet she is. 1.00

00:20:54.740 I bet she leans one way as most of these censors do. It, it just, I find it irritating that you have

00:21:01.940 these sneaky secret censors. And you only heard about it because Twitter told you about it. I, I

00:21:09.940 find this troubling. Um, because who knows what we don't know what we don't know, right? It's like

00:21:16.900 the dog that didn't bark. Exactly. Like what in Brazil, right in Brazil, they are censoring users

00:21:21.860 without telling them. And they're even threatening X over there to, uh, if, you know, if they were to

00:21:27.220 disclose to their users, why they were censored, X could get in trouble for that. So that's a major

00:21:32.980 issue. And you know, that's just one country. I mean, is this going on in Australia? What about

00:21:37.140 other countries as well? We have no idea. We have no way of knowing at least not yet. And I think we

00:21:42.420 need to be asking these questions directly to these people to hold them accountable.

00:21:47.220 There's this wave of censorship around the world. It really feels coordinated. You've got Ireland,

00:21:52.820 you've got Scotland, you've got England, you've got Canada. Um, I think the E-Safety Commissioner

00:21:59.060 has been in Australia for a while. New Zealand, hopefully it's been put on hold since Jacinda Ardern's

00:22:04.100 party was turfed. But all these countries seem to be doing it once. My theory is that they're doing it

00:22:11.300 in 2024 because a big, important U.S. election is coming. So they want to put the screws on all the

00:22:17.700 social media companies. When I was in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, the two names I

00:22:21.940 heard the most were Donald Trump and Elon Musk. They want to stop Trump and Elon Musk is one of

00:22:28.340 their problems because he's not playing game, playing along with their censorship plans. I

00:22:33.060 think this wave of censorship, although it was targeting you this, this week, I think their

00:22:38.500 larger target is the U.S. election. Yeah, I think you may be right. Donald Trump represents a threat to

00:22:45.060 all of their interests. The moment he's elected, and I hope he will be, we are going to see the rise of

00:22:51.540 nationalism worldwide. I mean, we've seen this with Argentina, we see it with El Salvador, with Hungary,

00:22:56.420 and a few other countries. And they don't want this to happen. I mean, there have been many exposés

00:23:02.260 recently showing that members of the European Union have been using their intelligence agencies to

00:23:08.820 suppress other political parties, particularly the AFD in Germany, for example. They used it against them.

00:23:14.820 Right. Well, this is very interesting. Listen, keep us posted. And of course, you're a rebel contributor,

00:23:21.860 and we like to defend the free speech of our journalists. So right now, I would say this is,

00:23:28.580 they didn't have a direct hit on you. In fact, it was like a warning shot. Twitter's the one that gave

00:23:33.700 you the warning. If this gets darker or worse, let us know, because we do have a great lawyer in

00:23:39.860 Australia. We've gotten to know him because he's defended our guy down there, Avi Yamini,

00:23:44.020 so many times. So keep us posted. And for now, take it as a feather in your hat that you irritated

00:23:51.060 a censor. That's got to be a good sign. Yes, it is. It means I'm over the target. I'm doing the right

00:23:56.340 thing. And I'm going to keep doing the right thing. They can't silence me. Right on. Ian, great to see

00:24:01.700 you. Thanks for taking the time. Absolutely. That's Ian Miles Chong, a Rebel News contributor.

00:24:07.540 Stay with us. More ahead.

00:24:20.660 Hey, instead of letters today, let me show you a strange thing that happened not too far from our

00:24:25.220 rebel world headquarters. I don't know. Maybe it's not that important, but I think it's a sign of the

00:24:30.340 times that racist graffiti and vandalism is just standard fare. Take a look at this video I filmed

00:24:36.820 earlier today.

00:24:40.420 Ezra Levant here for Rebel News. I'm standing in Toronto on Dufferin Street. It's an interesting

00:24:45.700 neighborhood. Lots of Italian and Portuguese people, but also the Jewish community to the east of here.

00:24:52.740 The local member of the provincial parliament is Robin Martin, MPP. You can see her address here

00:24:58.980 on Dufferin Street. You can also see some police. One, two, three police cars. I think there's been

00:25:05.700 about four police here because Robin Martin's office has been vandalized, graffitied, and otherwise

00:25:13.540 attacked by these Hamas street gangs. Here, let's take a look around. Officer, excuse me. Officer, 0.87

00:25:22.900 how you doing? I'm Ezra Levant from Rebel News, and I heard that there was some anti-Semitic

00:25:29.700 vandalism. Can you tell us when this was discovered?

00:25:33.700 The complaining found it this morning.

00:25:39.700 Do you think it happened overnight?

00:25:44.340 Well, so we're still investigating. At this time, we don't have a lot of information.

00:25:48.500 Fair enough. May I? I don't want to get in your way,

00:25:51.460 but I wouldn't mind knocking on the door to see if I could talk to someone. Is that okay?

00:25:54.500 Right now, this part is a crime scene, but please don't go inside.

00:25:59.060 Okay, I won't go inside. So what we just heard is that it's an active crime scene,

00:26:05.700 according to that officer.

00:26:09.540 You can see the word killed by Israel and a lot of pictures in the style

00:26:18.020 of the posters that the Jewish community has put up of the kidnapped victims of Hamas.

00:26:25.620 You can see that red paint, I presume symbolizing blood, is splashed out front. Shame on Robin, genocide

00:26:39.780 supporter. She has a very low profile, as frankly, all MPPs have. The officer just telling me it's an

00:26:50.260 active crime scene. They don't have any tape up, but that it's still being investigated. I'm sure

00:26:56.100 that's true. I'm not sure what they could find. Perhaps there is fingerprints on it. I'm not sure.

00:27:04.660 There may be some surveillance cameras. I see that there is a ring door buzzer surveillance system

00:27:14.260 at the door there. Perhaps if you know the ring system, it's motion detected as well as doorbell

00:27:21.380 activated. So it looks like there's at least one surveillance camera that may have caught the

00:27:26.820 perpetrator. As I was saying before the officer came up to me, Robin Martin, like all of Doug Ford's MPPs,

00:27:35.140 has kept a very low profile during the last six months of Hamas hate marches, anti-Semitism,

00:27:42.580 hate speech, and said, oh, it looks like the cops are going, let's turn our camera around. 0.98

00:27:46.660 Looks like some more officers have arrived. I think we're pretty fresh here on the scene,

00:27:51.620 which is slightly confusing to me because it's about 1230 in the afternoon. And I guess the

00:27:58.820 politician's office doesn't really start at the crack of dawn if police were only notified now.

00:28:06.420 As I was saying before I interrupted myself, the provincial government, it has a police force,

00:28:13.140 the OPP, the Ontario Provincial Police, and as well, they master the prosecutors in Ontario.

00:28:23.380 You have the Toronto Police, you have the Ontario Provincial Police, you have the RCMP,

00:28:28.420 but typically when they charge someone with a crime, it's the provincial prosecutors who report to the

00:28:34.740 Ontario Attorney General who prosecute them. And so the lenience we've seen towards the Hamas

00:28:42.100 hate marches, the ubiquity of the vandalism, the mischief, the graffiti, the anti-Semitic chants,

00:28:49.060 the targeting of Jewish MPPs, the targeting of Jewish schools and synagogues.

00:28:55.780 The person who has been declining to prosecute is Doug Ford and, ironically, Robin Martin. MPP,

00:29:05.220 who has not said a word about the hate marches, who won't lift a finger to stop them,

00:29:10.740 is now a victim of them. There's some poetry there, although it's dark poetry. Every single day in Doug

00:29:19.220 Ford's Ontario, laws are being broken. People chant their support for terrorist groups against the

00:29:26.340 criminal code. People fly the flags of terrorist groups against the criminal code. People beset Jewish

00:29:33.220 synagogues and disturb them against section 1762 of the criminal code. We've seen people blocking

00:29:39.860 streets, blocking entire Jewish neighborhoods against the criminal code. The police have typically been

00:29:46.740 ordered to stand down. That's a decision by Toronto's communist mayor, Olivia Chow. But the decision 0.69

00:29:54.180 not to prosecute these Hamas hate marches. That's 100% on Doug Ford. And Robin Martin's office,

00:30:03.300 which is vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti, don't expect her to raise a finger. If she didn't

00:30:09.220 care for you, do you think she'll care for herself? I doubt it. On the streets of Toronto, this is Ezra Levant.

00:30:15.540 Yeah, I think that if this were anti-black racism against a black MPP, it would be the top of the news,

00:30:28.900 but it's just anti-Semitic racism. And we know we're not supposed to criticize those folks because

00:30:35.140 they're Trudeau's voter base. So I don't think that'll make even the Toronto Star basic news. I think it's

00:30:42.020 the new normal in Canada now is pro-Hamas hate marches, anti-Semitic graffiti and vandalism.

00:30:48.100 The police don't care. I mean, they show up and write up a few reports, but there won't be any arrests.

00:30:53.620 That's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World

00:30:57.540 Headquarters to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.

00:31:12.020 you
