00:00:00.060 Tonight, boy, we're having fun at the leaders' debates here in Montreal.
00:00:03.340 I'll tell you some stories.
00:00:04.700 It's April 17th, and this is The Ezra LeBanc Show.
00:00:07.160 You're fighting for freedom!
00:00:10.160 Shame on you, you censorious bug! 0.88
00:00:21.980 Oh, hi, everybody. 0.84
00:00:23.060 Boy, we had a wild time yesterday.
00:00:25.240 You know we had to fight to get our way into the liberal leaders' debate.
00:00:28.920 It really is the liberal leaders' debate.
00:00:30.680 It's controlled by the liberal government.
00:00:32.360 It was set up by the liberal government.
00:00:33.960 And because it was set up by the liberals, it's got liberals in its DNA.
00:00:37.340 And so they have tried three times in a row to block Rebel News.
00:00:40.640 But we lawyered up and fought back.
00:00:42.360 And so we were in the House yesterday.
00:00:44.880 Rebel News had four questions, four pairs of questions, actually,
00:00:48.820 which was as much as CBC Radio Canada did.
00:00:52.320 Here's the thing, though.
00:00:53.260 The mainstream media had a total freakout.
00:00:55.540 It was a total meltdown that Rebel News was allowed to ask the holy ones,
00:01:01.860 the precious ones, questions.
00:01:03.800 And, you know, I was just saying to my team, it's like leap year.
00:01:08.220 It's literally one day every four years.
00:01:10.900 But it's not even one full day every four years.
00:01:12.640 It's like 15 minutes every four years for us to be able to ask the precious Mark Carney
00:01:17.460 and the holy Jagmeet Singh and the untouchable, you know, Blanchet, the block.
00:01:24.380 For us to ask them questions is so beyond us as peasants.
00:01:29.760 How dare we?
00:01:30.780 To watch the total freakout by the media party was quite something. 1.00
00:01:34.840 Like, seriously, what a bunch of losers. 0.99
00:01:36.760 And the thing is, we just lined up in the line. 0.99
00:01:39.160 We just showed a touch of initiative that they didn't.
00:01:40.960 And, you know, it's quite a statement on how the media and the government have really merged.
00:01:47.380 And I warned about this 10 years ago when Trudeau started subsidizing and paying the media.
00:01:52.080 I mean, we already had the CBC on the payroll, but now 99% of journalists are, too.
00:01:57.320 Anyways, that's just some background commentary.
00:01:59.200 But, boy, we had fun.
00:02:00.080 I really recommend going to our website, leadersdebate.ca, and looking at the videos,
00:02:04.680 including the questions that our team asked.
00:02:07.280 My favorite being Drea Humphrey, who asked Jagmeet Singh about the wave of anti-Christian
00:02:13.360 vandalism and arson at churches and his disgusting answer to her.
00:02:18.240 But he only made her look even more dignified by his disrespectful answer. 0.64
00:02:23.240 Hello, Mr. Singh.
00:02:24.460 Drea Humphrey with Rebel News.
00:02:25.920 Your party takes great pride in standing against hate, such as white supremacy, Islamophobia,
00:02:31.480 and online...
00:02:31.680 Sorry, I didn't get your outlet.
00:02:33.880 Drea Humphrey with Rebel News.
00:02:35.340 Okay.
00:02:36.400 Your party...
00:02:36.940 You know where I'm going to go with this, though, right?
00:02:39.240 Can I speak?
00:02:40.160 Yeah, you can.
00:02:40.680 I'm just going to say you know where I'm going to go with it, though.
00:02:42.280 Wow.
00:02:42.700 Your party takes pride in standing against hate, such as white supremacy, Islamophobia,
00:02:47.580 and online hate speech.
00:02:49.020 Yet you stay silent about ongoing attacks against Christians, even after Conservative MP
00:02:55.220 Jamil Javani's order paper question revealed that over 200 churches have been targeted by
00:03:00.920 arson and vandalism since claims of remains being discovered at former residential schools
00:03:06.440 swept the nation in 2021.
00:03:09.260 These claims have been disproven by bans that excavated and remain unproven by those that
00:03:15.500 have not.
00:03:16.060 Will you condemn the rise in acts of hate against Christians today and explain what your party
00:03:22.560 will do moving forward to keep Christians safe from hate in Canada?
00:03:28.160 Again, thank you, but I'm not going to respond to an organization that promotes misinformation
00:03:32.700 and disinformation like Rebel News, so no, I'm not going to respond to your question.
00:03:36.360 Wow.
00:03:36.660 What she said had no misinformation in it.
00:03:40.580 Perhaps you didn't hear me.
00:03:42.240 Over 200 Christian places of worship have been attacked in Canada since 2021.
00:03:48.040 Many served First Nations communities.
00:03:51.060 Many were historic and they diverted police and resources and put others at risk.
00:03:58.380 What do you say to Canadians who see your refusal to answer, especially from one of the few 0.92
00:04:03.080 media outlets here that are not funded by the state, as proof that a vote for you is a vote
00:04:09.180 for a dangerous radical party that gaslights the public into thinking it stands against
00:04:13.640 hate when its silence is instead emboldening Christophobia?
00:04:18.520 Your question is another example of why I don't respond to agencies like Rebel News that promote
00:04:23.960 misinformation and disinformation.
00:04:25.300 I really encourage you to look at all those videos, but for now, let me throw it to our
00:04:30.520 team who is hosting the live stream, our friend Tamara Ugolini and Lise from Saskatchewan.
00:04:37.500 They'll be hosting the live stream.
00:04:38.800 I'll be inside with the team and watching the debate in English and hopefully getting a few
00:04:43.340 more questions.
00:04:44.320 Enjoy.
00:04:44.500 We'll see you next time.
