00:00:00.220 Hello, my Rebels. What an interesting weekend. We had our team out in force in Ottawa.

00:01:07.680 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:01:10.080 Tonight, riots in Montreal, but police crackdown on peaceful freedom protesters in Ottawa.

00:01:24.980 It's May 2nd, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:27.280 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:33.060 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:37.140 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:43.000 Hey, take a look at this highly organized riot.

00:01:52.520 Look at the uniforms, the special attire and weapons of the rioters.

00:01:58.200 This was from Montreal over the weekend.

00:02:00.320 This was from Montreal over the weekend.

00:02:30.320 the tactic is called the black block it's not just a name it's they dress in black so they 0.98

00:02:42.720 can't be identified they are interchangeable to make it hard for police to spot them

00:02:48.380 you have a photo of them a surveillance photo what good does it do you you have 10 people there

00:02:54.060 who do you charge you can't identify them in a lineup highly orchestrated highly organized

00:02:59.400 highly violent you don't simply stumble into that kind of activity these are professional

00:03:04.920 rioters there was no emergency act deployed there were no riot police deployed justin trudeau did

00:03:11.560 not have a press conference where he asked whether or not we should even tolerate these people that's

00:03:16.800 just trudeau's team so why would he get upset why would the media get upset they didn't

00:03:21.480 meanwhile in ottawa there was a peaceful gathering of motorcyclists and veterans

00:03:30.460 no charges there no violence there but here's how the ottawa police were ginning up fear and hate from

00:03:39.200 the very beginning they had a picture of motorcyclists and as you know people who drive

00:03:43.980 motorcycles often wear leather jackets knee pads gloves in case they fall that way their body isn't

00:03:51.660 torn up by the road but their protective gear is they wear leather chaps if they're old school or

00:03:56.740 they wear other protection but here's what the ottawa police said about motorcyclists wearing

00:04:01.620 motorcycle wear they said we are seeing freedom supporters wearing protective gear we are reminding

00:04:10.460 everyone to remain lawful respectful and follow police direction okay you're wearing protective

00:04:17.760 gear that's an implication that it's like somehow body armor or something for a battle against police

00:04:22.680 it's a smear it's spin i would like to take this opportunity to remind the ottawa police to stay lawful

00:04:30.220 and respectful and you know what i don't think it's up to the police to give direction on politics and

00:04:38.040 peaceful protesters at all the ottawa police is out of control uh but of course this did not offend

00:04:44.500 the usual types who are offended by police it's been a bit of an inversion the same people who are

00:04:49.620 against carding and heavy-handed police brutality in the best of times well in these worst of times

00:04:55.800 they lust for it here's how ctv really a charter member of the media party uh described the peaceful

00:05:05.500 protests in ottawa they didn't have much to say about the antiva riders but here's what they said

00:05:09.880 about ottawa they said current view it's been a full hour of speakers lots of freedom chants heard around

00:05:19.940 this morning again the decision to get or not get vaccinated is a choice most masking and other

00:05:26.760 covid restrictions have been lifted or eased rolling thunder ottawa did you catch that freedom

00:05:34.240 choice i like that part is it a choice if you're told you'll be fired if you don't get the jab as

00:05:44.360 millions of canadians were told right now to this day you can't get on an airplane or a train

00:05:50.160 if you're unvaxxed in quebec they actually still have the masking rule that's ctv showing their cards

00:05:57.360 there my only question is is that their natural stance because they despise populace and they love

00:06:02.820 government control or were they one of these paid influencers getting the tens of millions hundreds of

00:06:09.040 millions of dollars sloshed around by justin trudeau now with ctv here's david aiken with his comments

00:06:16.640 he says in the tweet side by side just now in my twitter feed there are freedom fighters and then

00:06:26.280 there are well guy who insists on riding his bike around parliament hill and it's vladimir zelensky

00:06:33.260 and of course the man on the street being carded by police um i think that's david aiken's way of

00:06:41.620 saying if you are not the most important thing in the world which david aiken decides is a country

00:06:47.120 far away called ukraine you have no right to petition your democratic government and you're 0.60

00:06:53.020 no freedom fighter um if you want to fly unvaxxed if you want your civil liberties in canada don't

00:06:58.700 complain about civil liberties in canada it could be worse in ukraine i think is the argument ukraine

00:07:04.760 is not particularly a place with strong civil liberties i don't really know what david aiken means

00:07:09.820 i think he's saying is why don't you talk about what i care about which is ukraine instead of

00:07:15.480 what you care about which is your civil liberties here in canada have you ever seen david aiken or

00:07:21.160 any of these other reporters tell any other protester in the world how dare you protest for

00:07:26.420 global warming or for whatever the cause of the day is while a country around the world has

00:07:35.360 a crisis how dare you campaign for global warming here in canada while in china they're putting

00:07:41.480 uigur muslims in a concentration camp how dare you campaign for black lives matter in canada by the 0.94

00:07:46.640 way we never had uh slavery or the civil war over slavery like they did in america we were the 0.72

00:07:51.620 destination of the underground railroad how dare you have an american directed black lives matter 0.91

00:07:57.540 protest here when people are starving in africa makes no sense it's a logical non sequitur i've never

00:08:03.240 seen it applied by these journalists except for to conservatives who are protesting for the first

00:08:08.600 time in memory here's another reporter from ctv who was at the war memorial and was quite dismissive

00:08:16.620 she said some kind of priest is speaking on the steps of the war memorial now he called on god to turn

00:08:24.040 the hearts of abusers who propagate dishonest media such as the cbc then he said to bless the efforts

00:08:32.280 of independent journalists like rebel news and true north center well first of all i'm glad he did

00:08:38.980 thank you for that we can use all the help we can get it is true that cbc is a major source of

00:08:45.020 disinformation um and i'm glad that that priest or whoever ctv was calling some priest said so i mean

00:08:52.860 i'm not just referring to their kooky conspiracy theories like the vladimir putin organized the truckers

00:08:58.040 but so many of the reports about the arson hoax or the violence hoax all the hoaxes that were used as

00:09:05.840 a pretext for bringing the emergencies act they were all published by the cbc so i think that priest or

00:09:12.240 whoever the ctv is mocking is actually right the cbc does need help um now everywhere these journalists go

00:09:22.120 these days they are confronted by people who are unhappy with the authoritarian path we're on whether

00:09:27.700 it's government censorship or lockdownism and the media are regarded as the enemy at least by populist

00:09:34.760 conservatives who are concerned about freedom and that's because in the past uh reporters used to care

00:09:39.560 about freedom too but now they've all chosen to go for the government the security of the government bailout

00:09:45.240 so they've sold their freedom for a government paycheck and people notice that so there is this

00:09:51.720 criticism of government journalists and i would call ctv a government journalist even though they're not

00:09:56.300 owned like the cbc is because they get so many grants and regulatory favors from the state so all these

00:10:02.600 journalists are reacting to being scoffed at or criticized by the public and they only mock i wonder if

00:10:09.760 they ever engage in some sort of self-reflection in their own role in things or if they actually

00:10:16.780 pretend that they're beloved um as they perhaps once were it's not just reporters i mean look at this

00:10:23.220 crazy look at a couple of these crazy cartoons these were both published in the hamilton spectator

00:10:29.480 which is owned by the toronto star uh the largest newspaper in the country i mean here's a crazy one

00:10:36.280 that was uh published in advance of the motorcyclist coming to town and you can see a cop stopping a

00:10:43.300 motorcyclist uh because the terror is he might bring a hot tub to town 0.83

00:10:47.260 well better bring in martial law for that the same i mean that's just a dumb cartoon but look at this 0.59

00:10:54.580 other cartoon earlier from the same artist who has an image of vladimir putin on the left there

00:11:01.920 donald trump in the middle and that flag on the right is for the confederate states of america that

00:11:07.580 was the south in the u.s civil war now i don't know what any of these foreign actors have to do

00:11:12.720 with canadian truckers we there has been no evidence that there's been foreign involvement

00:11:18.140 the vast majority of donations contrary to cbc propaganda for the truckers were canadian that's

00:11:23.660 what the gofundme uh uh executives told parliament it is a bizarre conspiracy theory to blame foreign

00:11:32.980 agitators for a genuine organic authentic canadian political opposition um it's just bizarre and

00:11:42.520 you can have a conspiracy theory obviously in the form of a cartoon can we get a fact check on that

00:11:49.680 please anyway so i've shown you the media reaction scoffing saying how dare you protest when ukraine is

00:11:56.900 in a war how dare you say that the cbc isn't as good at rebel news or as trustworthy how dare you claim

00:12:04.740 that these are authentic voices like the media is clearly at war but there are counter protesters on the

00:12:09.500 street too which makes sense it's a government town a lot of people especially in the downtown of ottawa

00:12:14.800 are bureaucrats or political staff and they were there in small numbers to counteract the

00:12:20.400 motorcyclists who were there for freedom but they didn't really know what to say they really didn't

00:12:25.140 know what to stand for let me show you um here's a tweet from ryza patel of the toronto star she used to be

00:12:33.780 with the cbc i think she says in more creative things i have seen today these counter protesters are

00:12:41.540 responding to this rebel news reporters questions with squeaky dog toys take a look at the video

00:12:47.980 you know um if the shoe was on the other foot if there were white uh conservatives mocking and

00:13:08.980 you know insulting a reporter of color on the left oh it would it would be endless charges of racism but

00:13:18.480 you see racism is only what you say against conservative it's never what you say against

00:13:23.380 leftists that uh reporter that uh razor patel the star is talking about is our head of video he's not

00:13:31.020 just a reporter he's our boss of all the video on our site his name is efron monsanto and here's how it

00:13:37.140 looked from his camera's point of view uh efron tweeted it himself getting the other side for our rebel

00:13:46.540 news viewers from the counter protesters against the pro-freedom veterans rally they say other

00:13:52.600 countries are preventing the unvaccinated from flying not just canada misinformed or malicious 0.52

00:13:58.840 malicious watch yourself so just stop right there so efron is saying he deliberately asked the other

00:14:05.300 side for their point of view which is something the cbc ctv global mail toronto star rarely do

00:14:10.340 so efron was showing that even though he's got a strong point of view he's happy to hear what the

00:14:14.900 counter protesters have to say um and when they said that when they disputed efron's point that

00:14:21.220 canada is the worst in the world with punishing the unvaxxed they had no response to him other than 1.00

00:14:26.100 breaking up the squeaky toys what exactly does the pigs represent there 0.89

00:14:37.940 do you feel like it's still justified to prevent unvaccinated people from flying on federal

00:14:49.700 uh it's only candidates preventing the unvaccinated from flying in the country no other country is 1.00

00:15:05.780 doing that do you promote that the segregation policy

00:15:09.860 um so efron asks are they malicious or misinformed i'm gonna go with

00:15:19.780 both i think that's accurate but there was some actual violence at the ottawa freedom demonstration

00:15:29.620 as you know there was no violence no charges no firearms no fisticuffs nothing during the whole trucker uh

00:15:36.900 protest um there were uh there was violence over the weekend but it was ottawa leftists pelting eggs

00:15:48.980 from their apartment uh balconies down at the rolling thunder protesters protesting against

00:15:57.700 government powers gained through covid restrictions um it's you know you could this is from our friend

00:16:04.420 marie oaks of the westphalian times there were police everywhere they saw these protesters being

00:16:12.100 pelted with eggs i ask again if the shoe was on the other foot if it was a black lives matter rally

00:16:19.460 and you had people from balconies and apartments throwing eggs down do you think the police would

00:16:24.660 just smile and laugh it off i i this happened in toronto too i was on a uh march uh covering it about a

00:16:32.580 year and a half ago in toronto people were throwing things down very dangerous to throw something from

00:16:37.380 high heights like that police didn't care they couldn't care less so there was that violence of

00:16:44.420 objects being thrown down from balconies but there also was an act of vandalism of a place of worship

00:16:50.580 a church that was vandalized here's what sheila said about him um you can see uh the pictures of the

00:16:58.500 uh graffiti that says fascist and on the inside of the church salman sima who's a refugee from iran by

00:17:05.700 the way who's very active at these protests for freedom says the church is full of freedom loving

00:17:11.140 people who pray for truckers bikers veterans and freedom this is the second room which is full also

00:17:17.700 many are outside for being messenger of and freedom you don't need to follow any specific religion

00:17:24.500 every good person is welcome in the freedom movement and he says that he's coming from iran

00:17:32.260 so you have a place of worship that is vandalized and attacked

00:17:37.460 if the uh defacers of that church were instead of being leftist defacing a freedom-oriented church

00:17:47.860 if they were right-wingers defacing a left-wing church which is unthinkable

00:17:52.900 it's unthinkable i've never in my life heard of a conservative person defacing

00:17:57.940 a church it's unthinkable do you think the media and the police would ignore it or

00:18:02.260 let's say if it were a mosque that were vandalized do you doubt that justin trudeau

00:18:06.340 would be holding a press conference and you would have every mp calling for a hate crimes investigation

00:18:13.140 my point is that the freedom movement in canada isn't just up against authoritarian

00:18:17.940 laws by the government it's up against a police force that is no longer independent

00:18:23.300 but rather acts as brown shirts for the government i'm sorry how else can you explain it when church

00:18:28.740 vandalism and being pelted by eggs are ignored and instead peaceful protesters and the truckers

00:18:34.660 are arrested some are still being held in jail right now if you can believe it from february bank

00:18:39.460 accounts seized emergency act riot police deployed our reporter shot in the leg

00:18:43.380 public versus that rioting in montreal actual rioting and smashing i don't think you can say

00:18:51.060 our police forces are dispassionate objective balanced and fair i just don't think you can

00:18:56.580 say that i mean i know there are some good cops still out there but the police forces themselves are

00:19:01.780 now partisan squads they just arm the media i mean you know this already but it's quite something to see

00:19:09.860 them tut tut a protest in a way i've never seen before have you ever seen what david aiken said

00:19:16.420 there before have you ever seen a journalist say i'm going to deride this protest not on its own terms

00:19:23.620 i'm not going to dispute what's happening here i'm not going to answer it i'm just going to say how

00:19:28.340 dare you complain when somewhere around the world there's a worse problem i've never seen that before

00:19:33.700 have you i think that we're in a dangerous place and that's why i'm hopeful that the conservative

00:19:39.220 party is having a leadership race the first victory the truckers had was getting rid of

00:19:43.860 erin o'toole and if that leads to other dominoes falling and a strong freedom-oriented leader takes 1.00

00:19:50.580 the helm of the conservative party of canada maybe just maybe we'll finally have one institution in

00:19:56.180 canada that pushes back against us because for the past two years there has been not a single

00:20:01.300 institution fighting for freedom stay with us after the break we'll talk to our top mission

00:20:08.020 specialist who is on the scene our friend david menzies that's next

00:20:22.180 well look who's next to me david menzies he led our coverage in ottawa we had a huge team down there

00:20:27.620 we're going to get to david in about a second but i just can't wait i want to show you a video that uh

00:20:32.580 david and isabel filmed it's about two minutes long you really have to watch every second of

00:20:38.100 it and it really starts to get good about 20 seconds before the end i have watched this video

00:20:43.540 three or four times um i just checked a moment ago it had about three quarters of a million views

00:20:50.100 in like a day and a half uh you'll see why take a look if you're going to protest something as nebulous

00:20:56.580 as freedom then you can't encroach on others i'm not trying to understand is nebulous freedom

00:21:03.300 the concept of a nebulous freedom they don't have a specific

00:21:08.980 title of a specific reason for being here they're all over the place and all they're doing is suppressing

00:21:16.420 ottawa residents ottawa businesses we are being harassed and held hostage for their

00:21:24.580 supposed approachments on freedom what does a single white man have to say to anybody

00:21:30.900 about a bodily autonomy freedom i'm not sure what race has to do with it i didn't say anything about

00:21:37.220 race you said a white man single white man sure race okay so i mean what does race have to do with

00:21:44.340 it when i look at people that are gathering here today it's right across the uh multi-diverse

00:21:50.260 spectrum no more comments oh okay then well by the way when it says convoy go home didn't the

00:21:57.300 convoy go home in february they called it a convoy it's a convoy you mean the um just gathering here

00:22:05.220 is that a convoy please go away okay no more comments all right no more comments it just seems

00:22:12.020 no more comments no more comments

00:22:15.380 you can't articulate no more comments no more comments have i triggered you no more comments

00:22:21.540 No more comments.

00:22:23.540 No more comments.

00:22:25.540 No more comments.

00:22:27.540 It's like interviewing a Coke machine when your soda doesn't come out.

00:22:30.540 No more comments.

00:22:32.540 No more comments.

00:22:34.540 No more comments.

00:22:36.540 It's like a, a Bembot that's malfunction.

00:22:39.540 No more comments.

00:22:41.540 And you think that somebody is going to go on a corner?

00:22:43.540 No more comments.

00:22:44.540 Walk away.

00:22:45.540 No more comments.

00:22:46.540 Back away. 0.81

00:22:47.540 no more comments no more comments that's just unbelievable i don't know what happened there at

00:23:06.660 the end it's like a record skipping or or just some computer loop like uh like some error loop

00:23:13.800 or something that was unusual i i don't want to cast aspersions on people of a wiccan background

00:23:20.240 because i don't need an hr complaint or a human rights complaint but i think i think she's wearing 0.74

00:23:26.220 a witch's hat that's exactly what i thought when i saw it as or in fact one of the funniest comments

00:23:31.480 i saw uh in the twitter feed was somebody going oh come on guys cut her some slack you'd be

00:23:37.740 aggravated too if a house had just fallen on your sister right so i mean i love our viewers the

00:23:43.720 the the witticisms that have come out from that but it was bizarre because ezra if you are on a

00:23:50.620 street corner opposite of a uh a celebration a gathering because i know the rolling thunder

00:23:55.880 they don't like to put the word protest in their event um and you have a sign and you have an

00:24:02.660 amplification device uh with music and you're dancing and you're dressed up like like halloween

00:24:08.280 yeah i assume you want media people to come and ask you what you're doing and then once we got into

00:24:14.900 the gooey subject of race that began the malfunction yeah you know and that's the thing is she's not a 0.99

00:24:22.140 private person just walking by the street if she was we wouldn't have any reason to engage with her 1.00

00:24:27.080 but she went there as a counter protester with a public sign and she actually didn't stop talking to 0.96

00:24:32.880 you in fact as you notice she just wouldn't wouldn't cork it in fact she it was very strange

00:24:37.880 and i'm not really making fun of her appearance i mean choosing a hat is not a personal attribute

00:24:42.860 it's just a choice i think it really was a halloween style costume what i've known over the last two

00:24:49.360 years is that protesters for freedom protesters against forced vaccines protesters against lockdowns

00:24:57.340 if you say to them what do you stand for get ready for half an hour's worth of detail

00:25:02.880 references to websites and experts like they'll they'll talk your ear off because they really want

00:25:08.540 to tell you what they're upset this lady couldn't answer the most basic questions you had and and 1.00

00:25:14.460 then went into this childish defensive mechanism i don't even know what she was trying to do if she 1.00

00:25:19.620 was just trying to drown you out or if it was just words that felt good so she kept repeating

00:25:24.700 them while she thought it's something smarter to say and i know it's just one little anecdote and

00:25:29.740 you can't extrapolate from it but i think it shows the difference between freedom protesters who i think

00:25:35.320 have really thought through why they're there versus this lady who i i think was just out for a hoot

00:25:40.960 and to wear her halloween costume again you know you're 100 right as i mean if i i don't think i've

00:25:45.220 ever taken part in demonstrations i've covered hundreds of them i would say but if i was going to

00:25:50.960 demonstrate on a street corner and bring a sign and what have you i would do a little research and

00:25:56.440 rehearsal before going you know the day before uh what if somebody asked me a question about this

00:26:01.160 what if they say challenge me on on my what my sign says i would come armed and have a lot of arrows

00:26:07.100 in my quiver to say oh no no that's not right here's why you're wrong and i'm right but she just 0.98

00:26:12.300 starts drowning me out i'm telling you and what lungs on that woman i mean if i'm the manager of the 1.00

00:26:18.620 canadian opera company she was that was her yelling at full blast i i could maybe do that for 0.51

00:26:24.940 three or four yells and then i'm croaking but she went on and far beyond where the video ends

00:26:32.200 oh really oh yes you know what we're having some fun just because it was such a quirky

00:26:36.940 video but there was actually some serious things i mean i showed a moment ago that there were eggs

00:26:42.700 pelting people there was a church that was defaced yeah i should say that none of these things

00:26:47.060 happened during the trucker protests there was not a single charge let alone conviction of anyone for

00:26:53.320 violence no firearms of any sort were found the lockdown or the blockage of the city streets was

00:27:01.800 done by police yeah um here you have counter protesters throwing eggs and an egg's probably not

00:27:08.520 going to kill you but that's you know throwing you try throwing an egg at at a cop and see if you get

00:27:13.600 away with it so they were throwing eggs they were vandalizing a church and um no emergencies act 0.94

00:27:19.660 there no riot police there no media uh you know calling out fascists there um it just shows none of

00:27:29.400 this is about actual law and order none of it is about violent versus peaceful protests it is 100

00:27:35.360 about black lives matter protests are fine i don't know more protests are fine antifa protests are fine

00:27:42.740 but you conservatives you get out of the protest game that's our turn you know i think it's even worse

00:27:48.300 than you're uh depicting it ezra i liken it to the movie of almost 20 years ago a minority report with

00:27:55.100 tom cruise where it's a dystopian future where the police have um a pre-crimes unit they get their

00:28:01.520 intelligence from psychics and they think you know what sir we we have really good psychic

00:28:07.020 intelligence that we think you're going to kill your wife you're charged with first degree murder

00:28:11.060 uh you're convicted and you're put away for life uh the only flaw of course is that the intelligence

00:28:16.900 is not 100 accurate i am saying that if you own a motorcycle and it is insured and you have a driver's

00:28:25.720 license there is no valid reason to prevent you from uh going down in your motorcycle circling the

00:28:33.440 war memorial laying a wreath let's be honest law enforcement knew that was the case the bureaucrats

00:28:39.460 know it's the case justin trudeau knows that it's the case this was not going to be um a um convoy 2.0

00:28:45.900 there weren't going to be people lining up their motorcycles and i might add ezra a lot of people

00:28:50.500 might not know this but wellington avenue um for i would say a kilometer and a half where parliament

00:28:56.780 hill is is still closed with concrete barriers and that's the police obviously it's not protest

00:29:02.720 oh it's ottawa city council oh it is closed at least until the end of the year and it might be closed

00:29:10.080 forever that's what they're debating but based on this one protest that ideologically justin trudeau

00:29:18.020 disagreed with it was grotesque at the capital city um uh bikers church because what they did there ezra 0.99

00:29:25.640 like they did in downtown ottawa was that for a few blocks all around the church they put up signs the

00:29:32.680 police it said special event i guess the special event was curtailing your rights and freedoms no

00:29:38.640 stopping they had cops there ready to ticket and tow anyone that dared to stop and what it was all about

00:29:46.140 ezra was pettiness it was making people park half a kilometer away and walking to the church you know

00:29:52.820 finding the first legal spot and that church had on its you know at the front of the church in big

00:29:59.280 graffiti letters um hey this is no haven for fascism or words to that effect you know what i saw

00:30:07.780 beautiful lovely people taking part in a wonderful service by the pastor uh rob mckee i didn't see any

00:30:15.260 hate it was all about love ironically in a perverse way ezra the only sign of fascism was by the people

00:30:22.680 that desecrated this church with their spray guns and dropped thumbtacks all over hoping to flatten the

00:30:29.200 tires of people coming to the service yeah i mean it there is a professional protest class in this 0.95

00:30:35.260 country and there's also a professional riot class in this country we saw black block riders smashing 1.00

00:30:42.140 buildings in montreal and black block is a is a look it's a style it's a tactic dressed from head

00:30:47.760 to toe in black so you have no identifiable marks so you're not wearing clothing that can be identified

00:30:53.540 you're not showing your face so the black block is a police foiling tactic cover your face they love 0.98

00:31:00.040 the masks for that reason and these are organized riders smashers highly well trained and financed

00:31:06.880 um i'm not saying that the emergencies act should be invoked to go after them but how about just some

00:31:13.120 regular coppers how about take some cops off the mask beat they still are forced to wear masks in 1.00

00:31:17.640 quebec you know i think that um what's the most troubling to me is the absolute complicity of the

00:31:24.840 media yeah oh yes i was watching the media cover ottawa and and they were either mocking anyone who said

00:31:31.640 freedom like they were saying oh you like the freedom like d-u-m-b like they're just mocking the

00:31:37.580 canadian flag which is bizarre because it's the flag of the protesters and if they couldn't mock them for

00:31:43.480 those reasons they would say well how dare you say you don't have freedom look at ukraine and the

00:31:47.820 sacrifices they're making like i've just never in my life seen the media so desperately at the service

00:31:54.260 of power and to to crush uh with their sneering any peaceful protests i think the greatest the police

00:32:02.160 are atrocious but the media have let them be atrocious i think that's the worst thing um you've

00:32:09.400 raised many excellent points there uh ezra i think freedom has become the new f word a canadian flag

00:32:15.960 has become a hate symbol law enforcement we're targeting people who are walking or driving with a

00:32:22.700 canadian flag can you imagine the same piece of cloth that flies over uh parliament it's bizarre

00:32:28.080 when it comes to the policing when we parked about a half kilometer away from the church the biker's 0.99

00:32:34.180 church we're walking along isabelle and i that was my camera woman and uh we happened upon three

00:32:39.540 audible motorcycle police officers and i started asking them questions well that video will be coming

00:32:44.940 up later this week and i said um you know guys i'm just wondering why are you so hell-bent on

00:32:50.440 ticketing and towing churchgoers when there was a hate crime committed there all the vandalism on

00:32:56.120 the church the officer said to me what vandalism i said you don't know in a very condescending way

00:33:02.880 as he says do you have any idea sir how large ottawa region is a patrol i said i'm not talking about

00:33:09.160 ottawa region i'm talking about that church that you can see 350 kilometers away um and he says well i

00:33:16.800 don't know anything about that and uh and it got surreal i said okay uh if you want to play the

00:33:22.080 sergeant schultz routine i know nothing i saw nothing he says to me who's sergeant schultz

00:33:27.940 i said you've never seen hogan's heroes he goes what's hogan's hero this guy doesn't know anything

00:33:33.980 right i mean well you know uh you know he doesn't know about civil rights i'm not surprised he doesn't

00:33:41.680 know about uh tv history well david i'm glad you were there we had a great team there i feel like

00:33:46.560 we show what was really going on as opposed to the media party which were which either ignored it

00:33:51.040 attacked it or lied about it yeah so uh thanks very much for going there or wrote in an approving

00:33:56.500 fashion of the way law enforcement you know ezra i don't know how members of the print media type out

00:34:01.400 their stories with the cheerleaders on their wrists you know uh that the the pom-poms on their wrists

00:34:06.340 anymore it's they're they're perverse cheerleaders and the fact that we're paying for this appalling 1.00

00:34:11.380 coverage it's despicable yeah all right david thanks very much for that all right folks stay with us more

00:34:17.000 ahead david is a hoot and he has a knack of finding people who are unusual i don't know why it is is it

00:34:37.160 because david himself has is so friendly and welcoming that uh people feel comfortable coming up to him and

00:34:44.040 just going a little kooky like that is it because he doesn't leave until he plums every you know um

00:34:51.080 hidden alley or blind alley of their thing i don't know but david sure finds them i think it's also

00:34:57.800 because he has a straight face while people say the craziest things and he just asks very short

00:35:02.360 questions just to prompt them he's he really is deaf that way and it makes me chuckle that you know we

00:35:08.700 put that video online and oh my god did they go viral not just in canon but around the world um

00:35:14.380 that is the state of left-wing protesters today um but really is justin trudeau any deeper than that

00:35:21.900 is the media party any deeper than that i mean at least that uh no more comments gal wasn't claiming 0.88

00:35:28.940 that putin did it well that's our show for today until tomorrow on behalf of all of us here at rebel world

00:35:33.980 headquarters to you at home good night and keep fighting for freedom and let me leave you with

00:35:37.980 an interview our friend alexa lavoie spoke with leslin lewis of the conservative party see you tomorrow

00:35:46.380 so hey alexa for rebel news we are tuesday the 26th of april and we are currently in montreal at the

00:35:53.980 hotel double tree because leslin lewis one of the candidates for the race of the conservative

00:36:01.020 party leader are here today for meeting her supporter and as well to do a speech so we take

00:36:08.060 the opportunity to talk with some of them and as well to ask some questions to leslin lewis also so

00:36:15.500 keep following us

00:36:19.740 and i did that by being a bridge builder i believe that the next conservative leader

00:36:26.300 will have to build bridges we will have to heal this nation we will have to restore faith in government

00:36:35.180 so many people have lost trust in our government when we saw what happened with the truckers irrespective of 1.00

00:36:43.020 where you stand on the issue we had canadians who reached out to their members of parliament who

00:36:50.780 reached out to their counselors and they weren't getting answers and when they came to ottawa to hear

00:36:57.420 from the people who they elected irrespective of where you stand on this situation on this issue that is

00:37:06.300 how a democracy should work and we lost a very good opportunity by not reaching out and hearing

00:37:14.380 from canadians what was on their hearts we need to restore faith in our democracy we also need to

00:37:23.260 restore faith in our media because when the media is operating like an arm of the government it tells you

00:37:32.220 that our democracy is in peril this is how totalitarian regimes operate with the media as an arm of the government

00:37:41.980 aujourd'hui je m'intéresse à savoir qu'est-ce que les gens voient en leslin lewis qu'ils voient pas dans

00:37:46.540 les autres leaders qui se présentent à la chefferie des partis conservateurs je pense qu'elle l'a dit un

00:37:53.340 peu aujourd'hui dans sa prestation comme quoi qu'elle ne se considère pas une politicienne en tant que telle

00:37:59.180 qu'elle se considère comme une citoyenne qui a à coeur des valeurs conservatrices pour notre pays et nous

00:38:04.460 expliquer un peu son inquiétude en voyant la façon que le canada se dirige vers un état plus ou moins

00:38:12.940 totalitaire elle a à coeur vraiment de défendre les valeurs du canada et qu'on revienne vraiment dans

00:38:21.180 un dans une situation où ce que notre souveraineté est protégée en tant que canadien puis québécois aussi

00:38:26.700 i think the readiness to open to answer any question i went for pierre poilier and everybody

00:38:36.860 could ask a question only for a second while here i think she's very real not a born politician maybe 0.99

00:38:44.220 or she's uh but i i'm impressed i'm very happy i was here je veux dire que leslin lewis c'est une

00:38:52.380 candidate qui à mon sens est probablement parmi les plus intègre puis je dirais même toute famille

00:38:57.580 politique confondue quand c'est exprimé tout à l'heure en tout cas on a vraiment l'impression de

00:39:02.620 comment dire qu'elle dit vraiment ce qu'elle pense et j'ai comme l'impression que sans politique

00:39:08.700 aujourd'hui on a souvent l'impression qu'il ya des games qui se jouent qu'il ya des certains politiciens qui

00:39:14.540 disent certaines choses en espérant parler à certaines comment dire certains pans de l'électorat ou qui s'adressent à

00:39:19.980 chaque ligne de leur discours est comme on va dire cadré cherche à convaincre un groupe un autre ensuite

00:39:27.100 etc c'est comme une espèce de succession de discours publicitaires honnêtement ce soir vous pourriez prendre

00:39:34.540 son discours c'est de voir à qui s'est adressé de ligne en ligne vous serez pas nécessairement capable de

00:39:38.340 le faire parce que c'est un discours qui est organique c'est un discours qui s'adresse à tout le monde puis

00:39:42.980 voilà en fait c'est une personnalité intéressante à entendre parler c'est que moi je vois elle est

00:39:48.820 quelqu'un qui est présente elle est présente et elle sait exactement c'est que la population en

00:39:53.220 besoin donc c'est vraiment quelqu'un comme ça qu'on a besoin pour nous représenter first of all uh about

00:39:59.140 the journalist license that mr trudeau wants to create to give to medium i was wondering are you

00:40:06.740 agreeing with it or are you against it i'm very concerned when government delves into the area

00:40:13.860 of media because i believe that they should be two separate institutions i'm concerned about bill c-11

00:40:20.740 and the encroachment of governmental powers on the media the media needs to be independent in order to

00:40:26.980 get out the message to the people and when governments pull the string then that message

00:40:32.100 is tainted and it affects our democratic rights so no i don't i don't uh agree with it and we know

00:40:38.260 that pia paulia want to defund cbc but it's not really for defunding the french cbc side so

00:40:48.820 the radio canada what is your uh opinion about it and are you for going to defund as well cbc

00:40:56.020 well i think cbc should return to more like a public broadcasting system where they raise money um

00:41:02.420 people subscribe and uh they do do some good work and in the rural area areas i've spoken to people

00:41:10.100 that they say that's all we have if you defund we'll have nothing and so that's worth considering

00:41:15.140 in areas where they do well uh such as the rural areas and uh radio canada um that's that's considered

00:41:23.700 worth being paid for but when in areas like in the uh urban centers and where people are online and

00:41:31.780 getting their news from alternative sources i don't think that's a good use of our resources and do you

00:41:36.660 think that the federal should do some funding for project that it's reserved to the province so example

00:41:44.900 right now in quebec they want to uh create a tramway uh but they want that the federal government

00:41:52.100 pay 40 percent of the bill um they want to that the government of canada pay 40 percent of the

00:42:01.620 bill of the tramway of quebec are you for that the federal government is involved in funding project

00:42:10.020 of the province well the federal government generally funds the projects of the governments

00:42:15.460 through transfer payments so i think that once the transfer payments are fair between the different

00:42:21.620 provinces and that those provinces can use those funds to enhance their communities their local

00:42:28.260 provinces in ways that meet those regional needs should that being a tool for the election i don't know

00:42:35.860 if you remember by reno tool was promises to pay 40 percent of the quebec tunnel like third link do you

00:42:43.620 think that it should be like a tool for the um election well i think that your election promises should be based

00:42:50.980 on what is good for the entire nation and if if that's a need that's needed here as i said it should

00:42:57.140 it should be funded through transfer payments and if ontario has a different need then perhaps you

00:43:02.260 could look at that too but your policy should be to enhance the entire nation not catering specifically

00:43:09.780 to one group or the other and my last question is about i heard you about the digital identity we know that

00:43:16.580 um in 2018 mr trudeau uh accept to be one of the pilot project for the key cut key d t high uh with the world

00:43:30.740 economic forum and action tour that he want to uh start and i believe yeah air canada and um as well like the

00:43:40.020 airport of montreal airport of uh toronto um do you think that we should go further on this or we should

00:43:46.980 ban i think we should stop because the population the public citizens have not received full disclosure

00:43:55.860 on what this entails digital currency has a lot of unknowns and people have questions and those questions

00:44:04.020 deserve to be answered before our government ushers us down a certain path so the election for the

00:44:10.900 conservative party leadership will be on the 10th of september but you have until the 3 of june for

00:44:19.380 being a member of one of the leader so if you want to see everything about the coverage of the race of

00:44:26.980 the leadership conservative party you can do so at leadership report.ca thank you
