Hello, my friends. I want to show you a couple of Hamas protests today.
00:00:03.780
Calling them protests, I don't even think is the big enough word.
00:00:07.000
There were threats of violence. There were demands to cancel speakers.
00:00:10.140
They were basically showing who runs the streets in this country.
00:00:13.660

You know, with COVID behind us, who knows what the globalists are planning next.
00:00:38.240
Maybe it's the expansion of the conflict in Europe or the release of another virus
00:00:42.720
or the undermining of free speech and fair elections, whatever it is.
00:00:46.780

Tonight, pro-Hamas gangs rule the streets of Montreal,
00:01:48.460
It's December 3rd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:02:10.660
on the streets of Toronto, taken to jail, held for a few hours,
00:02:14.320
because police said my mere presence was inciting a breach of the peace
00:02:20.000
by pro-Hamas activists, many of whom aren't even Canadian citizens.
00:02:24.560
I found that astonishing, and it's actually illegal, as well.
00:02:33.840
you cannot arrest a lawful person who's doing nothing illegal
00:02:45.700
You'd think that's fairly instinctive policing,
00:02:50.880
especially for political reasons, take the easy way out.
00:02:53.500
But I should tell you, the case of Fleming v. Ontario
00:02:58.260
Someone with a Canadian flag was being challenged
00:03:15.660
Anyways, that's sort of been the story of the last year, hasn't it?
00:03:19.420
If the story of 2022 was the peaceful trucker convoy
00:03:26.700
they managed to break the fever in this country
00:03:31.780
from this bizarre Civil Liberties bonfire we had been in,
00:03:39.680
where police didn't overreact as they did to the truckers,
00:03:48.580
arrest lawbreakers, including if they're foreigners.
00:03:52.340
Earlier today, our Montreal-based reporter, Alexa Lavoie,
00:03:58.420
which by most measures is the most anti-Semitic university
00:04:14.100
but because he is pro-Israel, he's from Israel,
00:04:29.220
Let's remind everybody that there are supporters on the campus,
00:04:34.960
Let's remind everybody that there are supporters on the campus.
00:04:40.540
Let's remind everybody that there are supporters on the campus,
00:05:00.740
You know, when we retook the streets in Toronto a few days ago,
00:05:12.800
one of the chants we had was whose streets, our streets,
00:05:16.840
We brought out about 100 citizens, peaceful Canadians,
00:05:29.720
Hamas runs the streets, and it runs the universities.
00:05:35.680
Montreal is a place that had a full-scale riot just a few weeks ago.
00:05:48.600
No wonder Donald Trump is poking him and tweaking him.
00:05:51.960
I don't know if you saw the latest tweet by Donald Trump
00:05:55.160
of him standing with a Canadian flag like he's going to invade Canada or something.
00:06:03.180
Trudeau is unserious when it comes to anti-Semitism.
00:06:06.500
Trudeau no longer even goes through the motions
00:06:08.880
about talking about the hostages that Hamas took.
00:06:11.700
Contrast that with Trump's statement yesterday,
00:06:18.580
He issued his statement on his Truth social media platform,
00:06:26.020
He basically said if the hostages are not all released,
00:06:31.280
he will unleash more wrath than the world has ever seen militarily.
00:06:36.180
I think that Hamas probably should take him seriously.
00:06:40.780
I know other terrorist groups are, for example,
00:06:43.540
the Houthis based in Yemen who would attack shipping in the Red Sea.
00:06:53.980
It'll be very interesting to see what Trump does,
00:06:56.480
not just in Gaza, but more importantly to the leadership,
00:06:59.780
the remaining leadership of Hamas and Hezbollah scattered around the world.
00:07:03.380
I understand that Qatar has kicked out the remaining leadership of Hamas,
00:07:14.360
Turkey, of course, on paper, at least, is a NATO ally.
00:07:21.740
That was the scene of the non-crime of the truckers,
00:07:26.400
where thousands of peaceful protesters in February of 2022 just honked their horns.
00:07:31.760
A judge later told them to stop honking their horns
00:07:34.760
because it was upsetting people getting to sleep,
00:07:38.260
And all that was left, really, were some parking infractions.
00:07:41.140
Nonetheless, Trudeau was deeply embarrassed by it.
00:07:45.960
horn honking is not a crime, and a parking infraction is not a crime.
00:07:49.200
Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, invoking martial law for the first time
00:07:53.220
since the War Measures Act that Trudeau's father did in October 1970.
00:07:59.720
I say again that even during 9-11, Canada did not invoke the Emergencies Act,
00:08:04.580
but Trudeau so hated the truckers that he did so,
00:08:07.240
and then seized a bunch of bank accounts, deployed the ride horses,
00:08:14.780
Just a quick reminder, when the truckers were in Parliament,
00:08:18.300
sorry, were at the Parliament, outside the Parliament, in February 2022,
00:08:26.160
which is the main building with the Peace Tower with the big clock,
00:08:32.660
There is nothing going on inside there except for renovations.
00:08:35.980
The truckers stayed in their trucks and on the street.
00:08:38.720
They had hot tubs and bouncy castles, and they circulated around,
00:08:53.700
pro-Hamas extremists, some of whom were Jewish,
00:08:55.960
some of whom were merely pretending to be Jewish.
00:09:01.000
Literally blocked Parliament in the name of Hamas.
00:09:04.620
We're here for over a hundred Jews who have totally taken over a parliamentary building
00:09:14.500
demanding the Canada that will stop army Israel.
00:09:17.800
We have absolutely killed this parliamentary building.
00:09:22.000
Our songs, our prayers, gathered here to the Jews.
00:09:45.200
We know that every time an F-35 bomber jet drops a bomb on Lebanon or Gaza, every time
00:09:54.920
a Boeing Apache helicopter, every time the main weapons of war that Israel uses are raining
00:10:01.300
bombs on Palestinians, there are hundreds of Canadian components in those jets.
00:10:07.200
Canada must implement an arms embargo now, arms embargo, arms embargo now, arms embargo
00:10:24.200
You know, it's a clever PR strategy to say that these are Jews against Israel.
00:10:30.200
There is a small cult in Judaism called Naturaikarta.
00:10:33.200
They look like extremely religious Jews, and for an obscure theological reason, they
00:10:38.200
say they're against the state of Israel, that only God can create the state of Israel, and
00:10:48.200
Those are in a very obscure cult, but there are just left-wing progressives who, just like
00:10:55.200
they hate America, just like they're mad at their dad or whatever, they like to denounce
00:11:02.200
They don't survive a second in Gaza, but they're useful idiots in Canada.
00:11:09.200
I understand from police that there were 14 arrests made, but every single one of them
00:11:18.200
But wouldn't you agree with me that by storming into Parliament, and stopping Parliament, and
00:11:23.200
trespassing and intimidating Parliament, that they were worse than anything the truckers
00:11:32.200
And let me read a section of the criminal code to you that I just re-read today to refresh
00:11:41.200
Everyone who does an act of violence in order to intimidate Parliament or the legislature of
00:11:48.200
a province is guilty of an indictable offense and liable to imprisonment for a term of not
00:11:57.200
Now, I tried to study a little bit about what the definition of the word violence is in the
00:12:04.200
eyes of the criminal code, because maybe simply blocking an entry and blocking parliamentarians
00:12:14.200
Violence, if I understand the criminal code correctly, is the application or the threat
00:12:20.200
And I think that these blockaders were forcing themselves in there, forcibly staying, forcibly
00:12:28.200
I don't know if that rises to the standards, but would you agree with me that if that had
00:12:32.200
been truckers who had done so, it would have been unanimously condemned by the regime media,
00:12:38.200
by the prime minister and the government and many cabinet ministers.
00:12:43.200
And the police would have probably made the charges even if they couldn't stick.
00:12:50.200
So a few of them were arrested for a moment and they were let go.
00:12:53.200
And, of course, they're not being prosecuted for intimidating parliament.
00:12:56.200
But if that particular section of the criminal code doesn't apply, well, how about this one?
00:13:05.200
Now, it takes about a minute to read it, so I'll read it slowly.
00:13:13.200
Criminal organization means a group, however organized, that is composed of three or more
00:13:20.200
persons in or outside Canada, and B, has as one of its main purposes or main activities
00:13:28.200
the facilitation or commission of one or more serious offenses that have committed would
00:13:33.200
likely result in the direct or indirect receipt of a material benefit, including a financial benefit,
00:13:39.200
by the group or by any of the persons who constitute the group.
00:13:44.200
It does not include a group of persons that forms randomly for the immediate commission of a single offense.
00:13:50.200
Serious offense means an indictable offense under this or any other act of parliament
00:13:54.200
for which the maximum punishment is imprisonment for five years or more,
00:13:58.200
or another offense that is prescribed by a regulation.
00:14:03.200
And I'm sorry if that was too complex or too much legalese, but that's sort of our version,
00:14:09.200
and it goes on some more, of the U.S. RICO statute.
00:14:15.200
It's the statute used to go after mobs and gangs.
00:14:18.200
RICO stands for Racketeer Influenced Criminal Organization.
00:14:22.200
It just means a gang that commits crimes together.
00:14:31.200
If you're a group of three or more people, and you plan to commit serious crimes together,
00:14:36.200
and there's a benefit to the group, and if any of these crimes are punishable by more than five years in prison,
00:14:47.200
Now, again, I don't know if what we saw in Parliament Hill today quite reaches that.
00:14:51.200
I am certain that what we've seen on the streets of this country the last 14 months does.
00:15:04.200
And like what happened today, 14 arrests, everyone let go.
00:15:07.200
I'm reminded that on the weekend, the police proudly said that over 100 people have been charged with hate crimes.
00:15:13.200
Yeah, but almost all those charges have been dropped.
00:15:16.200
The government, to say they're unserious about this anti-Semitic hate crime doesn't do it justice.
00:15:21.200
They are deadly serious about it, serious about abiding it and allowing it.
00:15:25.200
I think that we have a real justice deficit, and anyone who compares the treatment of the truckers,
00:15:30.200
who are completely peaceful, and the treatment of Hamas, who are violent thugs who hide their face and actually do commit crimes in front of our eyes,
00:15:38.200
knows that we have a problem in this country of two-tier justice.
00:15:42.200
Hey, up next, I talked to an immigrant himself to this country from India,
00:15:47.200
who's a harsh critic of crimes and fraud committed in this country by other would-be immigrants from India.
00:16:13.200
I was astonished to learn a few months ago that there are one million foreign students registered in Canada.
00:16:22.200
And the reason that's such an astonishing number is it's actually larger than the number of Canadian students in Canadian colleges and universities.
00:16:31.200
And we've seen what that massive number can do in terms of social and economic adjustment.
00:16:38.200
You can't just put one million extra people into a country of Canada's size without having some ramifications.
00:16:45.200
In some cities, for example, food banks now have a policy that they will not give free food to people who are here on a student visa,
00:16:57.200
The thinking being, if you came here to be a student, you have a certain amount of funds,
00:17:02.200
and obviously you spent thousands of dollars on immigrating and your university.
00:17:06.200
But it's causing, in some ways, the massive number is causing a rift.
00:17:14.200
Four men on student visas arrested after cars broken into, items stolen in Oakville.
00:17:27.200
But one man who has led the criticism of this is a man from the Indo-Canadian community himself,
00:17:34.200
who's upset with some of the excesses, both of immigration and crime.
00:17:39.200
He's a media personality who is voluble on social media.
00:17:51.200
Now, you've been following this beat for a while.
00:17:55.200
Why don't you sum up the state of affairs in Canada?
00:17:59.200
There's an enormous number of people here on temporary visas.
00:18:17.200
So basically anyone who comes here for the study, 80 to 85 percent students, they are really general students.
00:18:30.200
And our Canadian economy runs with them because they bring a lot of revenue with them.
00:18:35.200
They study hard and they are into very good jobs, good paying jobs also.
00:18:41.200
But with good, we always see the bad part also.
00:18:44.200
And the bad is here is that our system, our system lacked many things.
00:18:50.200
What we lack, starting from the immigration and our immigration minister and government themselves, they accepted there were loopholes.
00:18:58.200
And these bad actors, I'll say bad actors, whether these are the small colleges or the bad actors by the agents, the consultants.
00:19:07.200
And there is a part by the government also that our immigration department, they side look all those parts, the loopholes, they never fixed it.
00:19:18.200
So today, as the Horton police, they released this for international students.
00:19:22.200
And their name, if I mentioned, they are into the 20s and 19 years and 21 years age.
00:19:28.200
Gurpur Kap Singh, Aksh Deep Singh, Kanav Preet Singh and Dilpreet Singh, 20 years, 21 years.
00:19:39.200
Now, Ezra, the army which I mentioned is what kind of charges they have.
00:19:45.200
They have a charges of mischief under $5,000, theft under $5,000, fraud under $5,000 and unauthorized use of a credit card.
00:19:57.200
And with these kind of charges, what will happen?
00:20:01.200
But we have not seen what kind of a status they are on.
00:20:13.200
As I mentioned before, 80% of students, they are working hard.
00:20:19.200
But these 15, 10 to 15% students, they are not here for studies.
00:20:26.200
And all those bad actors I mentioned, they need to be strictly tackled by the government of our immigration department.
00:20:33.200
And this is not the first police release by the halter.
00:20:40.200
Further, we have seen every other day these things are happening.
00:20:44.200
Even in carjacking, we have seen many South Asians, many students also, they were involved.
00:20:58.200
And we see those faces when police release the press releases.
00:21:02.200
But same day, same evening or before that, they were already released on bail.
00:21:14.200
Carjacking is a robbery of a car with someone in it.
00:21:17.200
And extortion, of course, people know what that is.
00:21:19.200
You're saying these international students on temporary visas,
00:21:23.200
when they were arrested for those extremely serious crimes, they were let out on bail right away?
00:21:30.200
And for this bail question, the changes in the criminal code,
00:21:33.200
we ourselves, I myself approach to all the heads like we approach to the Justice Minister,
00:21:48.200
And there is a disconnect between all the levels.
00:21:57.200
everybody in the province, they want changes in the criminal code.
00:22:03.200
that why there are no changes in the criminal code,
00:22:18.200
when they're asking changes in the criminal code,
00:22:20.200
and why Justice Minister is saying that already amendments have been made.
00:22:30.200
And if these people are in Canada as our temporary guests,
00:22:39.200
On the one hand, part of me wants them prosecuted heavily and punished,
00:22:44.200
should we just instead deport them immediately,
00:22:50.200
Like, to have them, to prosecute them, will take years, most likely.
00:22:57.200
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in police and prosecutorial resources.
00:23:01.200
If they're convicted, then there's the cost of prison.
00:23:06.200
Should we instead just immediately deport them,
00:23:10.200
and bar them from ever returning to the country,
00:23:12.200
even though that doesn't punish them for the crime itself,
00:23:26.200
Number one solution is, fix the immigration system,
00:23:29.200
because no one should come here without screening.
00:23:33.200
Because when we apply, because I remember, like,
00:23:36.200
10 years ago, when anyone applied for a student visa or a visitor visa,
00:23:40.200
they used to go through an interview process by the immigration officer.
00:23:48.200
But now, there is no interview for getting a study visa.
00:23:53.200
And then we came to know that there are so many fake IELTS reserves.
00:23:57.200
The force documents by the IELTS, that if you get a six, if you got two bands,
00:24:04.200
you can just add your document and make it six bands here and you're here.
00:24:08.200
Then why there was no parliamentary committee which did the investigation?
00:24:12.200
Because that was voted out by all other political parties,
00:24:16.200
that we don't want to do any committee and there should not be any investigation.
00:24:21.200
The part is, first, fix the immigration system.
00:24:24.200
Anyone who wants to enter either a visitor or a study, they should be screened properly.
00:24:30.200
Their documents should be verified, what they are producing.
00:24:33.200
Number two, the colleges, there are still small colleges.
00:24:41.200
A week ago, I met one girl here in Peel region and she was looking for a job.
00:24:46.200
Somebody approached me that she is looking for a job, if you can help.
00:24:51.200
When I asked her what you are doing, she said, I'm a student.
00:24:56.200
She said, she took a name of a college which is in British Columbia.
00:25:00.200
I said, how come you are here in Ontario looking for a job?
00:25:09.200
And they allowed her to do online and there is no job in British Columbia.
00:25:18.200
She said, I'm doing my classes online and only one day a week and few hours in a week.
00:25:26.200
So stop these small colleges who are misusing our students, those who are here to study.
00:25:32.200
And students, those who don't want to study, they're taking advantages of these small colleges.
00:25:38.200
Let the big universities, big reputed universities, big colleges should run the show.
00:25:44.200
If I can interject for a second, I mean, if this person you're referring to, and I'm sure she's a very nice lady as an individual human being, but if she got into Canada as a student, but she's only taking a few hours of courses one day a week online.
00:26:00.200
Then frankly, the whole thing's a ruse to come to Canada because if you're just studying online, you could be anywhere in the world.
00:26:08.200
It's sort of obvious to me that that college is just really selling access to the country under false pretenses.
00:26:15.200
Am I missing something or is the college engaging in a kind of immigration fraud by saying you can come here and study when in fact it's just a couple of hours a week online, which you could do from back home wherever you were.
00:26:30.200
It sounds like the college is the bad guy here.
00:26:33.200
Everybody, the bad actors is not only the college, it's the student also who want to get admission in that college only, who allow them to work.
00:26:47.200
The government should be, enforcement should be there.
00:26:58.200
Can you believe an international student, those who don't have a status now, status is as far living in encampments in the creeks?
00:27:09.200
We did the report on that and that report got viral that how come these students, those who are here for their good future, they are into drugs.
00:27:23.200
And we showed them to the Peel region, to the Halton region, in the Malton region.
00:27:30.200
And still, the encampments are there in the creeks.
00:27:34.200
And residents around those areas, they are worried about these kids.
00:27:39.200
And their families, they are watching them, that they are living in the creeks, in the tents.
00:27:48.200
And our region, they are supplying them with the tents and with the warm clothes, they are supplying them.
00:27:57.200
And then, you must be aware that how come a student who is here for study, they can apply on a first case as a refugee.
00:28:07.200
If you apply in this country as a refugee, that means, asylum means, you have a threat on yourself back home in your own country.
00:28:15.200
But when you came here as a student, four years ago, you came for a better prospect, better life.
00:28:21.200
Now, when your work permit got expired, you are applying for a refugee status.
00:28:29.200
So why government is accepting these applications of our international students?
00:28:34.200
In 2024, only in this year, more than 14,000 applications of asylum is from the international students.
00:28:49.200
First of all, you're a fountain of information.
00:28:52.200
One thing I learned just in the last week or two was, according to Pierre Polyev, the government has tabled documents showing that 4.9 million people in this country are on visas that are set to expire at the end of 2025.
00:29:09.200
And the idea that more than 10% of our entire country's population has to go or is going to go home in a year, I don't think that's going to happen.
00:29:21.200
I don't think it's even, I mean, that would be like a dozen jumbo jet flights a day of people just going home.
00:29:35.200
Do you think the government will deport any of them?
00:29:39.200
Like, I just can't believe I heard such a large number and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
00:29:45.200
Ezra, this is the bad politics is ruining our country.
00:29:51.200
The vote bank politics is ruining our country, such a beautiful country.
00:29:55.200
And believe me, if you go to the jails, get a data, you are an investigative journalist yourself.
00:30:01.200
If you get a data, how many international students are there in the jails?
00:30:06.200
We have heard that Milton jail is full with the South Asian students and the South Asian residents.
00:30:14.200
If you check the data, detention center, immigration detention center, how many students are there, you will get a very big number.
00:30:26.200
We can't say what government plan, but there are elections next year.
00:30:31.200
There is a question mark what government or immigration will do, whether they will deport,
00:30:38.200
They may not be get deported because our laws are weak.
00:30:57.200
But what we were doing in last seven years, when we were seeing this thing is happening
00:31:02.200
and this thing is going to damage our country and that where we are.
00:31:11.200
They should not use our country as a weak and lawless and took less.
00:31:20.200
And if I talk about the crime also, Ezra, because international, like 10 to 15 percent international
00:31:28.200
And if I say that in last 10 days, in last one week, more than 10 jewelry stores were robbed.
00:31:37.200
And if you take a data of last one year, you will be surprised how many jewelry stores the small businesses got robbed.
00:31:47.200
I can take a list of the jewelry store starting from Ottawa to Ontario to British Columbia.
00:31:58.200
And the Retail Council of Canada, they said in last four years, there is an increase of 300 percent.
00:32:08.200
And the small business, can they do a business here? No.
00:32:11.200
I myself went to the many of the jewelry stores.
00:32:18.200
Even these robbers, they follow the customers, those who come there for shopping.
00:32:28.200
They take months and months to give us a recovery.
00:32:32.200
So this is not about only international students.
00:32:38.200
About these kind of situations which we are passing through.
00:32:49.200
We need to fix any youngster should not be in the encampments.
00:33:03.200
But since we are discussing about this crime rate.
00:33:10.200
And we should not ruin our country by the vote bank politics.
00:33:17.200
Otherwise, when we say there are less people in the country.
00:33:36.200
And slowly, slowly this is going to damage more.
00:33:56.200
Those who are living in encampments in the creeks.
00:34:27.200
I think that's quite a summary of the country we have today.
00:34:32.200
I'm going to keep following you on social media.
00:34:40.200
And thanks for sharing your passion about this subject with us.
00:35:10.200
That hockey stick with the Canadian flag attached is genius.
00:35:19.200
Yeah, the Hamas side doesn't really wave Canadian flags though.
00:35:22.200
One of our people gave a little mini Canadian flag to a Hamas activist.
00:35:25.200
And he didn't immediately throw it on the ground.
00:35:30.200
It's time we took back our streets in the UK too.
00:35:35.200
Well done for standing up for common sense and human rights.
00:35:40.200
Maybe the line of least resistance for the police, but it's not right.
00:35:44.200
As you know, we have political prisoners here because the police don't treat everyone fairly.
00:35:48.200
You're talking about our friend Tommy Robinson and you're so right.
00:35:53.200
Now that said, Tommy Robinson does muster large crowds.
00:35:57.200
The last rally I went to when he wasn't even there, he was in jail.
00:36:00.200
Had thousands of people in the heart of London.
00:36:03.200
So there are still people fighting for freedom in the UK and I hope they prevail.
00:36:10.200
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters to you at home.
