00:00:00.000 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.

00:00:34.140 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.

00:01:23.260 Tonight, pro-Hamas gangs rule the streets of Montreal, 0.72
00:01:43.280 and now they even invade Parliament itself.
00:01:45.740 But no emergencies act for them.
00:01:48.460 It's December 3rd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:50.600 We're fighting for freedom!
00:01:53.880 Shame on you, you censorious boobug! 1.00
00:02:05.700 Hi, welcome back.
00:02:06.940 What a week it's been.
00:02:08.260 I was arrested, as you know, nine days ago
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.
00:02:27.940 As you know, from the case Fleming v. Ontario,
00:02:31.160 the Supreme Court of Canada ruled unanimously,
00:02:33.840 you cannot arrest a lawful person who's doing nothing illegal
00:02:37.640 because someone else might breach the peace.
00:02:40.980 In other words, you can't punish the victim
00:02:43.560 because he's being threatened by someone else.
00:02:45.700 You'd think that's fairly instinctive policing,
00:02:48.400 but not so in Canada, where politicians,
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
00:02:55.860 was a political case as well.
00:02:58.260 Someone with a Canadian flag was being challenged
00:03:00.620 by Indigenous activists, and of course,
00:03:02.820 the flag-bearer was the one who was arrested.
00:03:05.660 A little bit similar to my situation.
00:03:07.340 I wasn't carrying a flag, though.
00:03:08.740 I was carrying a camera.
00:03:10.160 I wanted to document the anti-Semitic hate
00:03:12.880 of these Hamas activists.
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
00:03:24.820 and how, with some horn-honking,
00:03:26.700 they managed to break the fever in this country
00:03:29.620 and cause the country to wake up
00:03:31.780 from this bizarre Civil Liberties bonfire we had been in,
00:03:35.780 the story of 2024 is of a national crime wave
00:03:39.680 where police didn't overreact as they did to the truckers,
00:03:43.140 but they underreact every single day
00:03:45.500 and do whatever they can not to arrest,
00:03:48.580 arrest lawbreakers, including if they're foreigners.
00:03:52.340 Earlier today, our Montreal-based reporter, Alexa Lavoie,
00:03:56.160 was at Concordia University,
00:03:58.420 which by most measures is the most anti-Semitic university
00:04:02.040 in the country.
00:04:03.380 There was a speaker there,
00:04:04.720 an Arab-Israeli journalist named Yosef Haddad.
00:04:07.820 He's a Christian Arab,
00:04:10.020 and you would think that a Christian Arab
00:04:12.360 might be welcome at Concordia,
00:04:14.100 but because he is pro-Israel, he's from Israel,
00:04:17.080 but because he is not against Israel,
00:04:20.700 all the extremists in that city said,
00:04:23.620 we are going to block and cancel his event.
00:04:26.940 Here's some reports by Alexa on the scene.
00:04:29.220 Let's remind everybody that there are supporters on the campus,
00:04:33.380 amongst all supporters.
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,
00:04:59.280 amongst all supporters.
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,
00:05:16.200 and it was true.
00:05:16.840 We brought out about 100 citizens, peaceful Canadians,
00:05:21.120 and we retook the sidewalk from Hamas.
00:05:24.340 That was one weekend's work.
00:05:26.800 But in Montreal, 365 days a year,
00:05:29.720 Hamas runs the streets, and it runs the universities. 0.98
00:05:32.680 Imagine being a Jewish student there. 1.00
00:05:35.680 Montreal is a place that had a full-scale riot just a few weeks ago.
00:05:40.320 Justin Trudeau at the time was busy.
00:05:42.820 He was at the Taylor Swift concert.
00:05:44.440 An unserious man in serious times.
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.
00:05:59.820 I don't think he respects Justin Trudeau.
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,
00:06:16.160 which was just blazing.
00:06:18.580 He issued his statement on his Truth social media platform,
00:06:23.300 which was reposted elsewhere.
00:06:26.020 He basically said if the hostages are not all released,
00:06:29.520 by the time he's president,
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.
00:06:48.020 When Trump was elected, they said,
00:06:49.580 yeah, I think the grownups are back.
00:06:52.180 We better stop what we're doing.
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,
00:07:10.300 and they have since moved on to Turkey.
00:07:13.020 That'll be very interesting.
00:07:14.360 Turkey, of course, on paper, at least, is a NATO ally.
00:07:18.020 I want to move from Montreal now to Ottawa.
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,
00:07:36.940 and they stopped honking their horns.
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.
00:07:44.100 And even though there really was no crime,
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,
00:08:10.480 and put people in jail, like to Merrill Leach.
00:08:12.080 Well, look at what happened in Ottawa today.
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,
00:08:22.720 they didn't go in.
00:08:24.360 Parliament's the center block of Parliament,
00:08:26.160 which is the main building with the Peace Tower with the big clock,
00:08:29.540 that's closed for renovations.
00:08:31.500 The doors don't even open.
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,
00:08:42.000 but mainly they just were in their trucks.
00:08:44.720 They didn't go in.
00:08:45.600 They didn't stop Parliament in any way.
00:08:48.300 Look what happened in Ottawa today.
00:08:51.180 Jamming up Parliament, stopping Parliament,
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.
00:08:58.480 That's a self-hating Jew if I ever saw one. 1.00
00:09:01.000 Literally blocked Parliament in the name of Hamas. 0.96
00:09:04.180 Take a look.
00:09:04.620 We're here for over a hundred Jews who have totally taken over a parliamentary building 1.00
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.
00:09:25.700 To save this violence must end now.
00:09:30.700 We've got to go.
00:09:43.580 Keep going.
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
00:10:23.200 now.
00:10:24.200 You know, it's a clever PR strategy to say that these are Jews against Israel. 1.00
00:10:29.200 I've seen a little bit of that.
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
00:10:43.200 man should not do so.
00:10:44.200 So they're paid by Iran to denounce Israel.
00:10:47.200 It's really bizarre to see.
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
00:11:01.200 Israel.
00:11:02.200 They don't survive a second in Gaza, but they're useful idiots in Canada. 0.96
00:11:06.200 That's who was in the protest today.
00:11:09.200 I understand from police that there were 14 arrests made, but every single one of them
00:11:16.200 was let go.
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 1.00
00:11:28.200 did, all of them were trespassing.
00:11:32.200 And let me read a section of the criminal code to you that I just re-read today to refresh
00:11:36.200 my memory.
00:11:37.200 Section 51.
00:11:38.200 It's very simple.
00:11:39.200 It's one sentence long.
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
00:11:55.200 exceeding 14 years.
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
00:12:11.200 in is not quite violence.
00:12:13.200 I'm not sure.
00:12:14.200 Violence, if I understand the criminal code correctly, is the application or the threat
00:12:18.200 of application of force.
00:12:20.200 And I think that these blockaders were forcing themselves in there, forcibly staying, forcibly
00:12:27.200 blocking MPs.
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.
00:12:48.200 But these are pro-Hamas supporters. 0.67
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?
00:13:01.200 This is section 467.1.
00:13:05.200 Now, it takes about a minute to read it, so I'll read it slowly.
00:13:09.200 Here it goes.
00:13:10.200 The following definitions apply in this act.
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.
00:14:01.200 Okay, so what have I just read to you?
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.
00:14:14.200 Have you ever heard of that?
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.
00:14:26.200 That's basically what RICO means.
00:14:28.200 And in Canada, that's our version of the law.
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,
00:14:42.200 the group itself is a criminal organization.
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.
00:14:56.200 We've seen shootings.
00:14:57.200 We've seen Molotov cocktails.
00:14:58.200 We've seen assaults.
00:14:59.200 We've seen death threats.
00:15:01.200 All that's been documented.
00:15:02.200 Very few of it's been charged.
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, 0.67
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. 1.00
00:15:55.200 It's an interesting conversation.
00:15:56.200 I'll let you tell me what you think of it.
00:15:58.200 That's next on The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:16:12.200 Welcome back.
00:16:13.200 I was astonished to learn a few months ago that there are one million foreign students registered in Canada.
00:16:19.200 They're on temporary visas as students.
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,
00:16:54.200 at least in the first year of their studies.
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.
00:17:11.200 And then I saw this interesting story.
00:17:14.200 Four men on student visas arrested after cars broken into, items stolen in Oakville.
00:17:22.200 It's a very alarming trend.
00:17:24.200 And in fact, it's not the only such case.
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.
00:17:38.200 His name is Nitin Chopra.
00:17:39.200 He's a media personality who is voluble on social media.
00:17:43.200 And he joins us now to talk about the news.
00:17:46.200 Mr. Chopra, what a pleasure to meet you.
00:17:48.200 Thanks for coming on the show.
00:17:49.200 Thank you. My pleasure.
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.
00:18:02.200 What do you make of that?
00:18:04.200 Ezra, it's really an irony.
00:18:07.200 Like, Canada was a beautiful country.
00:18:09.200 Canada is a beautiful country.
00:18:11.200 And it will remain strong and beautiful.
00:18:14.200 But the irony here is like our weaker laws.
00:18:17.200 So basically anyone who comes here for the study, 80 to 85 percent students, they are really general students.
00:18:25.200 They are working very hard.
00:18:26.200 They are the backbone of the economy.
00:18:28.200 They are working double shifts.
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.
00:19:15.200 And the problem is in front of us.
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.
00:19:37.200 They are international students.
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.
00:19:55.200 These are not the small crimes.
00:19:57.200 And with these kind of charges, what will happen?
00:19:59.200 They will be out on bail right away.
00:20:01.200 But we have not seen what kind of a status they are on.
00:20:04.200 They are on a study visa.
00:20:06.200 They are here to study, not for thefts.
00:20:08.200 So it means that our system has the loopholes.
00:20:11.200 We need stricter laws.
00:20:13.200 As I mentioned before, 80% of students, they are working hard.
00:20:16.200 And they are the part of the economy.
00:20:19.200 But these 15, 10 to 15% students, they are not here for studies.
00:20:23.200 They are here for some other purposes.
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.
00:20:37.200 There are so many releases since 2018.
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.
00:20:51.200 Car thefts, the home invasions.
00:20:54.200 There was extortion cases.
00:20:56.200 And there are so many other cases.
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.
00:21:07.200 So...
00:21:08.200 Car thefts, you like called an extortion?
00:21:10.200 Released on bail for...
00:21:12.200 Those are extremely serious crimes.
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?
00:21:27.200 Yes, they were out on bail.
00:21:29.200 That is it.
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,
00:21:39.200 we approach to the Peel Regional Police Chief,
00:21:42.200 we approach to the Chair of the Peel Region,
00:21:44.200 to the Mayor of the Brampton,
00:21:46.200 and to the Premier Ford.
00:21:48.200 And there is a disconnect between all the levels.
00:21:51.200 Why there is a disconnect?
00:21:52.200 Because police, police associations, mayors,
00:21:57.200 everybody in the province, they want changes in the criminal code.
00:22:01.200 And when we reach out to the Justice Minister,
00:22:03.200 that why there are no changes in the criminal code,
00:22:05.200 what police is asking?
00:22:06.200 They said, we already made those changes,
00:22:08.200 the amendments were already done.
00:22:10.200 And it's good.
00:22:11.200 So, but on the ground level,
00:22:13.200 when these, all the stakeholders,
00:22:16.200 from police to the Mayor to the province,
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.
00:22:24.200 But let me ask you, Mr. Chopra,
00:22:26.200 let me ask you a question,
00:22:27.200 because I've been thinking about that,
00:22:28.200 like some of these charges are quite serious.
00:22:30.200 And if these people are in Canada as our temporary guests,
00:22:33.200 who came here they said to be students,
00:22:35.200 and now they're charged with serious crimes,
00:22:37.200 what would you do?
00:22:39.200 On the one hand, part of me wants them prosecuted heavily and punished,
00:22:43.200 but on the other hand,
00:22:44.200 should we just instead deport them immediately, 0.50
00:22:48.200 and ban them from returning?
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.
00:23:04.200 And then if they're out, they're still here.
00:23:06.200 Should we instead just immediately deport them,
00:23:10.200 and bar them from ever returning to the country, 0.99
00:23:12.200 even though that doesn't punish them for the crime itself,
00:23:16.200 at least gets them out of our country? 0.70
00:23:18.200 Which path would you choose?
00:23:19.200 Or do you have another suggestion?
00:23:21.200 Ezra, this is a very good question.
00:23:23.200 What should we do?
00:23:24.200 What is the solution for this?
00:23:26.200 Number one solution is, fix the immigration system, 1.00
00:23:29.200 because no one should come here without screening.
00:23:32.200 Number one part.
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.
00:23:44.200 And their applications were screened.
00:23:46.200 And then you get an entry.
00:23:48.200 But now, there is no interview for getting a study visa.
00:23:52.200 You just apply.
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.
00:24:38.200 Ezra, you will be surprised.
00:24:41.200 A week ago, I met one girl here in Peel region and she was looking for a job. 0.88
00:24:46.200 Somebody approached me that she is looking for a job, if you can help.
00:24:49.200 I said, okay, I'll try.
00:24:51.200 When I asked her what you are doing, she said, I'm a student.
00:24:55.200 Which college you are in?
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?
00:25:03.200 She said, my college is a small college.
00:25:06.200 She took a name of that, I won't mention.
00:25:09.200 And they allowed her to do online and there is no job in British Columbia. 0.98
00:25:14.200 That's why I came to Ontario.
00:25:15.200 Now I'm finding a job.
00:25:16.200 I said, how are you doing your classes?
00:25:18.200 She said, I'm doing my classes online and only one day a week and few hours in a week.
00:25:24.200 That is my classes.
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.
00:25:37.200 Shut them out.
00:25:38.200 Let the big universities, big reputed universities, big colleges should run the show.
00:25:42.200 And then...
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.
00:26:43.200 All the parties are involved in this.
00:26:45.200 So what comes? The laws.
00:26:47.200 The government should be, enforcement should be there.
00:26:50.200 The colleges should be shut down.
00:26:52.200 The big colleges, reputed colleges should run.
00:26:54.200 And Ezra, I visited the creeks.
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?
00:27:07.200 They are having drugs.
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.
00:27:18.200 They are having needles.
00:27:19.200 We see the blank cartridges into those creeks.
00:27:23.200 And we showed them to the Peel region, to the Halton region, in the Malton region.
00:27:28.200 And all the politicians knew about it.
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.
00:27:44.200 So what is the solution?
00:27:45.200 Our government knows it, but still no action.
00:27:48.200 And our region, they are supplying them with the tents and with the warm clothes, they are supplying them.
00:27:55.200 So everybody knows about this.
00:27:56.200 This is crazy.
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. 0.99
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.
00:28:26.200 And then the backlog is 200,000 more.
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.
00:28:43.200 It's shocking.
00:28:44.200 Is it not shocking?
00:28:45.200 It's shocking, but not surprising.
00:28:47.200 Let me ask you one last question.
00:28:49.200 First of all, you're a fountain of information.
00:28:50.200 It's just incredible to hear.
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.
00:29:28.200 I don't see it happening.
00:29:29.200 Do you think those 4.9 million people will go?
00:29:35.200 Do you think the government will deport any of them?
00:29:38.200 Should they go?
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.
00:29:44.200 What do you make of that?
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. 1.00
00:30:13.200 Yes.
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.
00:30:22.200 And will they be deported?
00:30:25.200 We don't know.
00:30:26.200 We can't say what government plan, but there are elections next year.
00:30:30.200 So it's very doubtful.
00:30:31.200 There is a question mark what government or immigration will do, whether they will deport,
00:30:35.200 which is kind of a tough situation.
00:30:38.200 They may not be get deported because our laws are weak.
00:30:41.200 We should deport the bad elements.
00:30:44.200 We should take a strict action.
00:30:46.200 Government should act, which they started now.
00:30:48.200 The federal government started acting now.
00:30:51.200 They want to fix the immigration system.
00:30:53.200 They want to control the borders.
00:30:55.200 They want to act on the bad actors.
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.
00:31:06.200 So there should be a strict laws.
00:31:09.200 There should be a punishment.
00:31:11.200 They should not use our country as a weak and lawless and took less.
00:31:17.200 That should be strictly implemented.
00:31:20.200 And if I talk about the crime also, Ezra, because international, like 10 to 15 percent international
00:31:25.200 students are into the crime and drugs.
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.
00:31:45.200 And what happened with those robbers?
00:31:47.200 I can take a list of the jewelry store starting from Ottawa to Ontario to British Columbia.
00:31:54.200 That how many jewelry stores got robbed.
00:31:56.200 The shocking numbers.
00:31:58.200 And the Retail Council of Canada, they said in last four years, there is an increase of 300 percent.
00:32:06.200 The Volunt Act and the retail thefts.
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.
00:32:15.200 I talked to their owners.
00:32:17.200 They said, we are scared.
00:32:18.200 Even these robbers, they follow the customers, those who come there for shopping.
00:32:22.200 And they are after golds.
00:32:24.200 They are after diamonds.
00:32:25.200 And they robbed our stores and insurance.
00:32:28.200 They take months and months to give us a recovery.
00:32:30.200 And how can we do business here?
00:32:32.200 So this is not about only international students.
00:32:35.200 About crime also.
00:32:37.200 About drugs also.
00:32:38.200 About these kind of situations which we are passing through.
00:32:40.200 We need to fix every other department.
00:32:43.200 We need to fix our criminal courts.
00:32:45.200 We need to fix the bail reforms.
00:32:47.200 We need to fix the crime scenario.
00:32:49.200 We need to fix any youngster should not be in the encampments.
00:32:53.200 We are into a developed country.
00:32:55.200 We should fix our immigration system. 1.00
00:32:57.200 Because inflation is very high.
00:32:59.200 And if we talk about mortgage.
00:33:01.200 There are so many things to discuss.
00:33:03.200 But since we are discussing about this crime rate.
00:33:06.200 Yes, this is shocking.
00:33:08.200 And our government should act.
00:33:10.200 And we should not ruin our country by the vote bank politics.
00:33:13.200 The criminal is a criminal.
00:33:15.200 Punish them.
00:33:16.200 Deport them.
00:33:17.200 Otherwise, when we say there are less people in the country.
00:33:20.200 There are less problems.
00:33:21.200 Since we are bringing people.
00:33:23.200 We should scan them.
00:33:25.200 Scan them.
00:33:26.200 Scan, interrogate them.
00:33:27.200 Like what is their background.
00:33:29.200 Even we have heard that Mexico drug cartels.
00:33:32.200 They are also entered in Canada.
00:33:34.200 And this is shocking.
00:33:36.200 And slowly, slowly this is going to damage more.
00:33:38.200 We should bring stricter laws.
00:33:40.200 Hire more police officers.
00:33:42.200 Deport the bad criminal elements.
00:33:44.200 If they don't have a status here.
00:33:47.200 Our kids should not live in the encampments.
00:33:50.200 Even they are stealing from these stores.
00:33:52.200 I went to the creek myself.
00:33:54.200 When I talked.
00:33:55.200 Interviewed these people.
00:33:56.200 Those who are living in encampments in the creeks.
00:33:59.200 They are stealing.
00:34:01.200 There are theft charges on them.
00:34:03.200 Their IDs are expired.
00:34:05.200 And when police visited them in the creek.
00:34:07.200 They give their fake name to the police.
00:34:10.200 So that police should not know.
00:34:12.200 That they already have a restaurant on them.
00:34:14.200 That are the cases.
00:34:16.200 And you get all the information.
00:34:17.200 It's just incredible to hear these stories.
00:34:19.200 And we'll have to follow up.
00:34:20.200 And especially these encampments.
00:34:22.200 That's something I hadn't considered before.
00:34:24.200 Earlier you said weak and lawless.
00:34:27.200 I think that's quite a summary of the country we have today.
00:34:31.200 It's a pleasure to catch up with you.
00:34:32.200 I'm going to keep following you on social media.
00:34:34.200 I'm going to follow your commentaries.
00:34:37.200 Which are very interesting.
00:34:38.200 And it's nice to meet you today.
00:34:40.200 And thanks for sharing your passion about this subject with us.
00:34:43.200 Thank you.
00:34:44.200 Thank you.
00:34:45.200 There you have it.
00:34:46.200 Nitin Chopra.
00:34:47.200 A media commentator.
00:34:49.200 Stay with us.
00:34:50.200 More ahead.
00:34:51.200 Hey, welcome back.
00:35:03.200 Your letters to me.
00:35:04.200 Here's some from our big event on Sunday.
00:35:07.200 Where we retook the streets.
00:35:08.200 Chris Kostesky says.
00:35:10.200 That hockey stick with the Canadian flag attached is genius.
00:35:14.200 Immortalize that picture.
00:35:15.200 Just an observation.
00:35:16.200 Yeah, there's nothing more Canadian than that.
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.
00:35:27.200 So maybe that's progress.
00:35:29.200 Sheila Titchener says.
00:35:30.200 It's time we took back our streets in the UK too.
00:35:34.200 Thanks for showing us how to do it.
00:35:35.200 Well done for standing up for common sense and human rights.
00:35:38.200 This has happened to Tommy time and again.
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.
00:35:51.200 There is two-tier policing in the UK.
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.
00:36:08.200 That's our show for today.
00:36:10.200 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters to you at home.
00:36:14.200 Good night.
00:36:15.200 And keep fighting for freedom.
00:36:17.200 Good night.
00:36:18.200 Good night.
