Rebel News Podcast - Ezra Levant Show June 06 2018

00:00:00.000 Tonight, The Rebel has just published our latest book, and it's free to download.

00:00:04.520 We'll tell you all about Sheila's case against David Suzuki.

00:00:07.940 It's June 6th, and you're watching The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:16.280 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:20.060 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:23.780 You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.

00:00:26.760 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:00:37.680 Tomorrow, the University of Alberta will give David Suzuki an honorary degree.

00:00:42.300 That's a disgrace.

00:00:43.740 David Suzuki despises Alberta.

00:00:45.560 He boycotts it.

00:00:46.480 He insults it.

00:00:47.220 He encourages lawbreaking against it.

00:00:50.440 U of A in particular.

00:00:51.820 I'm an alumnus.

00:00:52.960 I went to law school there.

00:00:54.020 It's a government town.

00:00:55.440 Edmonton is.

00:00:56.180 It's the legislature, the university, the hospitals, but it's also very much an oil patch town.

00:01:01.260 More the blue-collar side of things, and Calgary more has the white-collar side of things.

00:01:05.840 In a way, Edmonton is the staging ground for all of Fort McMurray and the oil sands.

00:01:11.060 One of Edmonton's nicknames is Gateway of the North.

00:01:13.880 Well, the biggest thing going on in the north is the oil sands, and Suzuki despises them.

00:01:19.320 Imagine inviting in such a man to bestow upon him the university's highest honour.

00:01:26.480 And not just at any old time, but right when the debate over the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is at its apex,

00:01:33.020 when the province so desperately needs a pipeline,

00:01:35.220 when the lack of one is causing a bottleneck that has cost tens of millions of dollars a day,

00:01:40.960 not just to workers, but even to government coffers, too.

00:01:43.620 It's a disaster. It really is like an economic embargo, a blockade on the province.

00:01:49.800 200,000 unemployed men and women in the oil patch.

00:01:52.620 For them, the U of A has no time.

00:01:55.060 For their tormentor, David Suzuki, the U of A has an honorary degree.

00:01:59.580 There was a backlash against this, some protests, some petitions, donors cancelling their money,

00:02:04.040 but the U of A dug in.

00:02:05.700 I mean, if you actually look at the list of other honorary degree recipients this year and every year,

00:02:11.220 Suzuki really isn't an anomaly.

00:02:14.280 They're usually counter-culture, far-left social justice warriors.

00:02:18.260 I mean, I think it's just that this time it hit a raw nerve,

00:02:21.280 but the culture on campus at the U of A, as much as every other university in North America,

00:02:26.620 is at a far-left extremism.

00:02:30.300 Professor Jordan Peterson has shown us that.

00:02:32.100 So the U of A dug in.

00:02:34.500 I mean, imagine if they actually had to listen to their constituents,

00:02:37.600 their students, their alumni, their taxpayers.

00:02:40.120 Who knows what could happen if you got started down that road?

00:02:43.040 Well, they held the line.

00:02:44.600 They refused to buckle.

00:02:45.600 They doubled down on David Suzuki.

00:02:47.240 And so tomorrow, well, get ready for the gloating by Suzuki himself

00:02:50.860 and across the country and around the world as the green pieces of the world mock Alberta.

00:02:56.660 I mean, it's almost as nutty as when Albertans voted for an anti-oil NDP government in 2015.

00:03:02.100 That's been a disaster.

00:03:03.320 You'd think the province would have learned its lesson.

00:03:05.360 I think the people have, but not the cosseted cocoon of the ivory tower at U of A.

00:03:10.780 The thing about Suzuki is opposition to him is dissident.

00:03:15.440 It's underground because who would dare contradict David Suzuki?

00:03:18.440 No one at the largest media company in Canada would.

00:03:21.280 For 40 years, he's been at the CBC.

00:03:23.140 He was their star.

00:03:23.780 So no one at the entire CBC ever criticized him meaningfully.

00:03:27.660 And no one who wanted to work one day at the CBC, which is many other journalists,

00:03:32.840 especially these days when private media companies are collapsing.

00:03:36.400 No one would want to poison their chances to move to the CBC.

00:03:39.300 And no one in politics who bends the knee to the CBC, and that includes too many conservative politicians.

00:03:44.220 No one would criticize Suzuki.

00:03:45.600 So not only has he been, has the CBC been Suzuki's protector, they've been Suzuki's PR machine,

00:03:52.540 pumping him out not only over their airways, but also into classrooms and popular culture.

00:03:57.460 He's ubiquitous, but he's never been properly vetted ever.

00:04:01.000 I saw once, when he made the mistake of going on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation,

00:04:06.360 they actually asked him some tough questions about global warming,

00:04:09.580 and they followed up with him several times to rebut his fake answers.

00:04:13.560 It was shocking.

00:04:14.720 It was the only time I've ever seen him being asked tough questions.

00:04:19.560 And it is no surprise that it happened overseas, where his cult does not have a following in the media.

00:04:24.420 That's the only time I've ever seen it.

00:04:26.700 At all his events, at all his speeches, for which he charges $30,000 a pop,

00:04:32.520 he rarely takes questions, and if he does, they're almost always pre-screened.

00:04:36.100 He reads them from cards or whatnot.

00:04:38.060 Nothing unscripted, nothing unplanned, no need for accountability.

00:04:42.400 And so the man is being protected.

00:04:44.420 While he lives a double life, a hypocrite,

00:04:47.020 someone who condemns capitalism publicly, but he literally owns five homes.

00:04:51.860 Someone who condemns fossil fuels publicly,

00:04:54.080 but who travels globally, non-stop, even as a business deal.

00:04:57.820 He co-owns part of an island with an oil company.

00:05:01.600 Someone who claims to be progressive, but treats young women as sexual objects.

00:05:06.660 None of that has been publicly vetted until now.

00:05:10.700 Our own Sheila Gunn-Reid has published the authoritative guide to Suzuki.

00:05:14.400 It's called The Case Against David Suzuki,

00:05:17.600 The Unauthorized Biography.

00:05:19.100 It's a quick read, less than 100 pages, but it's meticulously footnoted,

00:05:23.140 so you can check all the facts for yourself.

00:05:25.780 And we're giving it away absolutely free as an e-book at suzukibook.com.

00:05:31.060 That's the website.

00:05:32.740 You can go there now and download it.

00:05:34.260 You can chip in a few bucks if you want to,

00:05:36.460 voluntarily to help us cover some of our fixed costs,

00:05:39.520 like having lawyers vet it first and the cover art we had to pay for and whatnot.

00:05:43.360 But the book's free. You can have it.

00:05:44.660 The idea being, have as many people as possible get the truth about Suzuki finally.

00:05:50.320 Do the kind of research that the U of A president didn't do,

00:05:53.080 and then refused to do when they were called on it.

00:05:56.240 Sheila will be doing little video excerpts from her book over the next few weeks,

00:05:59.600 but permit me to share with you a few examples of Suzuki's worst conduct.

00:06:03.620 I just shake my head.

00:06:05.640 I mean, Suzuki makes common cause with eco-terrorists

00:06:07.820 who have literally assaulted police in their attempts to stop a pipeline

00:06:10.900 that is important to thousands of Albertans.

00:06:12.940 And the U of A honors him, and so disloyal,

00:06:15.720 it's so disrespectful to the community of his own students and alumni and donors,

00:06:19.580 it would be like the University of Windsor giving an award to an anti-car activist.

00:06:23.660 But here are a few examples from the book.

00:06:25.540 You really should read the whole thing.

00:06:28.100 Suzuki is against academic freedom that universities are supposed to uphold.

00:06:32.600 A few years back, Suzuki made a big donation.

00:06:36.680 He donated two $1,500 scholarships to Carleton University.

00:06:40.560 Come to think of it, that's not a huge donation, but he sure made a big fuss about it.

00:06:44.340 And that's very nice of him.

00:06:45.460 Good for him.

00:06:46.720 But then a professor at Carleton gave one of Suzuki's books a bad review.

00:06:52.200 So he punished the students there, who had nothing to do with that review,

00:06:56.040 by yanking the scholarships.

00:06:57.780 Here's what he said.

00:06:58.420 He said,

00:06:58.660 Yeah, so much for academic independence and free speech, the arguments the U of A gave.

00:07:14.280 Here's another thing Suzuki does.

00:07:16.000 He gloats when his enemies have misfortune, and by enemies I mean people who live in Alberta.

00:07:20.720 David Suzuki blamed Albertans for the Fort McMurray wildfires.

00:07:23.540 And then he actually fundraised off their misery, fundraised for himself.

00:07:27.340 Look at that red button in the top right that says Donate.

00:07:30.660 While the city was still smoldering, before citizens could even go back to their houses,

00:07:35.480 he was blaming Alberta, demanding that we submit to the UN's global warming schemes.

00:07:39.840 Oh, and look at that bright red Donate button, just right.

00:07:42.880 We should donate to his anti-Oil Sands lobby group,

00:07:46.640 not to the Oil Sands citizens whose homes were.

00:07:51.000 But imagine inviting someone so ghoulish,

00:07:54.180 who thought the Fort McMurray fire was a great time to scold the victims and fundraise for himself.

00:07:59.420 He's written essays saying that it's Mother Earth punishing us.

00:08:03.480 I'm serious, this is a scientist.

00:08:05.520 Or take the Calgary River floods.

00:08:07.100 He's like a religious extremist, 0.87

00:08:08.540 who thinks it's God's punishment to Albertans for pumping oil.

00:08:11.900 He couldn't wait to use the floods to denounce the oil patch.

00:08:14.940 The floods were because of melting snow and rainfall,

00:08:18.740 the opposite of his global warming theory,

00:08:20.640 but he still blamed Albertans.

00:08:23.160 He blamed the victims themselves.

00:08:25.420 Oh, and look in the top right corner here, as always.

00:08:29.000 He raised money off of their pain.

00:08:31.360 And he doesn't need to wait for a tragedy to strike.

00:08:33.560 He's a smearer.

00:08:35.800 He literally compares the Oil Sands to slavery.

00:08:39.740 He says the industry is immoral.

00:08:41.420 Really?

00:08:41.800 He's immoral for smearing the people who work there

00:08:43.980 as either slaves or slave masters,

00:08:45.860 but worse, for trivializing what real slavery was.

00:08:50.060 Workers in the Oil Sands are the best paid in Canada.

00:08:53.060 They have a great quality of life.

00:08:54.600 And he's saying slavery wasn't any worse.

00:08:56.400 He's disgusting.

00:08:58.340 Suzuki is really weird when it comes to human beings other than himself.

00:09:01.600 He compares human beings to a cancer on the earth.

00:09:04.980 He says we have to cull our population like we're animals or something.

00:09:08.380 Here's what he says.

00:09:10.680 Humans value growth.

00:09:12.180 That's like cancer cells.

00:09:15.040 That's weird coming from someone who has five children of his own.

00:09:17.840 His own parents were immigrants from Japan.

00:09:20.600 But Suzuki says letting in any other immigrants is, quote, disgusting. 0.99

00:09:25.180 Maybe Suzuki just thinks people are disgusting.

00:09:29.800 Here, listen to him compare people to maggots.

00:09:32.560 This is from a few years back, but his message is always the same.

00:09:35.780 He's always comparing people to maggots or bacteria or cancer,

00:09:40.060 implying we're disgusting.

00:09:41.240 We're all disgusting except him.

00:09:42.520 I'm going to play a full minute of this old clip so you see I'm not taking it out of context.

00:09:47.060 One thing that I've gotten off on lately is that basically, you know, I study fruit flies.

00:09:53.160 And I suddenly realized that basically we're all fruit flies.

00:09:57.420 Like, you know, you're born as an egg.

00:10:00.640 And you live in that egg environment.

00:10:02.420 And your parents kind of cut out all the external crap that comes in and protect you and nourish you and clothe you and all that.

00:10:07.780 It's a very nice little egg and it's comfortable.

00:10:09.500 But at some point you hatch out and start crawling around and eating stuff on your own.

00:10:14.780 You start reading.

00:10:15.420 You start looking at the tube.

00:10:16.420 You start doing all sorts of things.

00:10:18.080 You hatch out as a maggot.

00:10:20.460 And a maggot can now crawl around.

00:10:24.260 It's got two dimensions.

00:10:25.760 And it can ingest food at its will.

00:10:28.780 And it defecates all over the environment.

00:10:31.320 And some other smaller maggots can even eat your defecation and get some nourishment out of it. 0.89

00:10:36.240 And, you know, you grow as you eat more nourishment and you molt.

00:10:42.380 You become a second level maggot.

00:10:44.640 You know, a bigger maggot.

00:10:45.880 It even looks different.

00:10:47.320 And the bigger you get, the more people you can, or more maggots you can crush with your weight.

00:10:51.300 Yeah, I mean, most people in the world are content to stay as first or second level maggots.

00:10:58.640 And they establish their own little area and they crawl around there and that's fine.

00:11:03.760 And the guys that become 10th level maggots are really big wheels.

00:11:07.460 What a gross, gross man.

00:11:11.860 Except, of course, he's a 10th level maggot now himself by his own definition.

00:11:15.400 As I mentioned before, he condemns capitalism, including that of the oil sense.

00:11:18.840 But he's the biggest hypocrite around.

00:11:21.480 He owns four homes in British Columbia.

00:11:24.460 His main home on Point Grey Road is assessed by the city of Vancouver at $15.3 million.

00:11:30.180 Now, I'm not against being extremely wealthy.

00:11:33.300 I am just against him trashing our right to make a living while he bashes oil companies and lives in a $15.348 million house.

00:11:44.420 I've shared a few facts with you about David Suzuki, but there are literally 140 fully footnoted facts into this new book.

00:11:50.880 It's free.

00:11:51.700 It's a quick read.

00:11:52.940 So when you're done watching the show tonight, why not head on over to SuzukiBook.com and download a copy.

00:11:58.060 You can read it on your Kindle or other e-book reader or just download it as a PDF document.

00:12:02.740 You can even read it on your cell phone.

00:12:05.640 The U of A betrayed its community and all of us.

00:12:08.960 The CBC has betrayed the country for half a century by covering for Suzuki.

00:12:13.100 Finally, Sheila Gunn-Reed unveils the truth about Suzuki.

00:12:16.720 And, of course, you'll only find it at the Rebel.

00:12:20.800 Visit SuzukiBook.com.

00:12:22.780 An interview with Sheila is up next.

00:12:28.060 Welcome back.

00:12:43.880 Well, tomorrow, the University of Alberta, of which I am an alumnus, I might add.

00:12:49.420 Well, tomorrow, they murder their own reputation by honoring a dishonorable man, David Suzuki.

00:12:55.660 I say he's dishonorable, not as an insult, but rather as an observation for his life's work slandering the oil patch, industry, capitalism,

00:13:05.300 and in particular, Alberta and its central industry, oil and gas, especially the oil sands.

00:13:12.060 What an outrage that the U of A has decided to give him that honor mere weeks after Suzuki joined in the anti-pipeline protests that were being held to block the Kinder Morgan expansion.

00:13:27.300 Imagine thinking that such a man is honorable.

00:13:30.940 Imagine thinking that you would bestow the reputation of U of A on top of him.

00:13:35.820 Well, the president of the University of Alberta has dug in his heels.

00:13:40.880 It's cost the university millions of dollars in lost donations.

00:13:45.680 But there's one piece of the puzzle missing, and that is a comprehensive one-stop shop for the facts about David Suzuki.

00:13:54.240 Because, plainly put, for the last 50 years, he's been protected, protected by the CBC, with whom he's been their star.

00:14:04.400 And so there's been no scrutiny of Suzuki and his misconduct for years.

00:14:09.580 Well, that stops now.

00:14:10.680 I'm delighted to announce that Sheila Gunn-Reed, our Alberta bureau chief and the best-selling author of The Destroyers,

00:14:18.480 the number one Amazon.ca book about Rachel Notley's NDP, well, she has a new book out called The Case Against David Suzuki,

00:14:29.220 an unauthorized biography, 140 footnotes meticulously researched.

00:14:37.380 And here to tell us about that is Sheila Gunn-Reed herself. 0.98

00:14:40.800 Sheila, congratulations.

00:14:42.060 I have no doubt that this will become a best-selling book just like The Destroyers was.

00:14:46.200 Well, I hope so, because for the same reason that we wrote The Destroyers, we wrote this book.

00:14:53.840 And it's because I think if everybody knew all the facts that they could know about David Suzuki,

00:15:01.840 he wouldn't be treated as the prophet that he is.

00:15:06.080 And I think people would actually resent the CBC, probably more than they already do,

00:15:10.500 for treating him like an oracle or an expert on anything.

00:15:14.320 You know, that's the thing.

00:15:16.940 Decades ago, David Suzuki really was a scientist.

00:15:19.840 He did research into fruit fly genetics.

00:15:22.760 That's his area of expertise.

00:15:24.980 But it has been years since he's done anything remotely science-y.

00:15:30.100 No research, no experiments.

00:15:32.840 What he does instead is propagandize.

00:15:35.320 But just like Bill Nye, the science guy, he's got a rep as being super smart.

00:15:41.100 In fact, he's sort of a junk scientist for hire.

00:15:43.960 He's really about wringing out money from anyone who he can,

00:15:48.400 whether it's, you know, gullible grannies chipping into his David Suzuki Foundation 0.97

00:15:52.920 or the big ticket money, charging 30 grand a speech almost always to some government institution

00:15:59.620 that sloshes it around.

00:16:04.320 Yeah, you know, he's got a long history of making junk science claims.

00:16:08.260 I think one that we made note of in the book is one time he said that 90% of all cancers

00:16:14.300 are caused by environmental factors.

00:16:17.160 And then he went on to cite such ridiculous quackery about GMOs and pesticides and fertilizers,

00:16:23.480 you know, all the things that farmers use to make food more affordable to the poor.

00:16:29.020 When, you know, an easily researched fact would, you know, would totally turn Suzuki's

00:16:37.300 so-called made-up facts into lies, the U.S. National Cancer Institute says,

00:16:42.200 between 4% and 19% of cancers are related to environmental factors.

00:16:48.080 But this is just the story of Suzuki's life.

00:16:50.840 It's just he says one thing to suit his agenda when it doesn't meet the truth.

00:16:56.800 Now, I understand the idea that sometimes a controversial person can be given an honorary degree.

00:17:03.680 But I read the U of A's policies on honorary degrees,

00:17:08.800 and they have to represent the best of the university's spirit.

00:17:12.200 And David Suzuki, I just want to, and the president of U of A, Turpin is his name,

00:17:17.280 has said, oh, this is about academic freedom and scholarship.

00:17:19.600 There is no freedom or scholarship here.

00:17:21.960 Suzuki's not giving a lecture and then taking questions from students.

00:17:25.700 This is not a two-sided debate.

00:17:27.540 This is bestowing an honor on him.

00:17:29.220 This is not a classroom exercise.

00:17:31.140 He's not a student or a faculty member.

00:17:32.620 But when you inspect Suzuki's own treatment of academic freedom, he's a brute.

00:17:40.520 I mean, there was this one story in your book about how Suzuki had generously given a scholarship

00:17:45.780 to a university for students.

00:17:47.920 And that's great.

00:17:48.640 Good for him.

00:17:49.260 But when some professor at that university didn't review one of Suzuki's books friendly enough,

00:17:55.260 Suzuki took his money away from the kids and went home and says,

00:17:58.040 it's my money.

00:17:58.480 I can do with what I want.

00:17:59.820 How can you give such an abuser, like, oh, no, you only get scholarship money if you praise me.

00:18:07.120 Otherwise, I'm going to defund your poor kids. 0.99

00:18:09.640 How can you give that guy an honorary degree?

00:18:11.680 That's gross.

00:18:14.200 Well, and it's pretty ironic to hear from some place like the University of Alberta

00:18:18.940 now championing academic debate and liberal discourse of ideas when, you know,

00:18:27.040 they have a long history of censoring pro-life groups or using punitive fees to censor pro-life

00:18:32.680 groups on campus.

00:18:33.960 I mean, David Suzuki, he'll say one thing one place and a completely different thing another

00:18:38.840 place.

00:18:39.740 For example, he went to Australia and told the Australians that Stephen Harper was going

00:18:45.420 to arrest him under Bill C-51 because Stephen Harper doesn't like environmental activists and

00:18:54.620 environmental radicals.

00:18:56.160 And then when he's back here, he's telling people that we should be locking up climate change

00:19:04.040 deniers or charging them with criminal negligence just because people want a rigorous debate

00:19:11.080 around the science of climate change.

00:19:12.600 You know, there's a story in your book, and I remember talking about it at Sun News, but

00:19:20.820 it has been so exquisitely ignored by the mainstream media.

00:19:25.220 And I put it to you if it was a pro-oil or a conservative activist who had done this rather

00:19:30.740 than Suzuki, it would have been the last we ever heard of them.

00:19:33.900 There's this junior college in Quebec called John Abbott College, and for some reason they

00:19:39.240 thought it would be worth spending $30,000 on bringing in David Suzuki to talk for a bit.

00:19:44.400 Um, I guess, uh, I guess they have to justify their high tuition somehow.

00:19:49.540 Um, and it was really creepy in the emails, you refer to the emails in the book, Suzuki's

00:19:55.840 staff, a female assistant called up John Abbott College and said Suzuki prefers female ladies

00:20:04.680 or lady females, uh, as his entourage, and he specifically requested only women be his entourage,

00:20:13.900 and they had to dress a certain way, and the school instead of saying you are a gross, dirty

00:20:19.480 old man, they said sure.

00:20:22.180 And in fact, the email chain that came about, they were inspecting the girls, telling them

00:20:26.780 what to dress.

00:20:27.880 Girls don't wear a beautiful cocktail dress, but dress this way and that. 1.00

00:20:32.040 And one of the staffers at, uh, at this university actually, or this college actually visually

00:20:37.660 inspected the girls.

00:20:40.340 In the era of Me Too, I'm not saying David Suzuki raped anyone, I'm not saying that at

00:20:44.700 all, but just to be a creepy old man.

00:20:48.560 And imagine the enablers around him, his female assistant and the female staff at John Abbott

00:20:54.120 College helping this dirty old man get an all-female retinue. 1.00

00:21:00.920 How does he even exist in the age of, in the post-Me Too age?

00:21:05.080 I'm not saying, I'm not comparing him to Weinstein who I think was a rapist.

00:21:09.480 But I'm comparing him to a man who treats women like adornments for his awesomeness.

00:21:16.160 It's gross!

00:21:17.540 That story is even creepier when you drill down a little deeper on the details.

00:21:23.720 So you did say that it was a junior college, which is true, but I think in English Canada,

00:21:28.420 we don't really understand what a junior college is.

00:21:30.840 The people who attend junior colleges are roughly between 17 and 19 years old.

00:21:36.920 So these are very young girls, teenagers.

00:21:39.880 And he was 77 at the time, insisting that he be able to vet their outfits.

00:21:48.600 And when, you know, somebody asked, well, why does he want girls?

00:21:51.380 And he basically said, well, because I'm a 77-year-old guy.

00:21:54.640 I mean, it's just gross.

00:21:56.620 There's this overarching theme, too, with David Suzuki, where he loves to talk about sex to

00:22:01.860 the point where it's a little bit creepy, at least for me, and I think for a lot of normal

00:22:06.760 people.

00:22:07.400 He wrote at one point that he liked to talk or he liked to think about sex once every

00:22:11.780 minute.

00:22:12.100 But now that age is creeping up on him, it's like once every five minutes.

00:22:16.040 And this is something he just says out in public.

00:22:18.880 But he seems to be getting a pass from the mainstream media and particularly the CBC,

00:22:23.720 because they've created him to be this sort of grandfatherly leftist Canadian icon.

00:22:29.880 Yeah, in his book, in his own autobiography, he talks about his views about his daughters

00:22:36.640 having sex. 0.75

00:22:38.500 And again, I'm not implying anything illegal or any misconduct with him.

00:22:42.660 I just think if you're boasting or talking or publicizing the topic of sex and your own

00:22:52.360 children, you're a creepy old man. 0.97

00:22:55.720 You are a creepy old man.

00:22:56.920 And I put it to you again, maybe the CBC tolerates people like that.

00:23:00.600 I mean, Xi'an Gomeshi, they tolerated him and he did much worse.

00:23:03.680 Xi'an Gomeshi actually hit women. 1.00

00:23:05.360 Again, I'm not accusing Suzuki of doing that.

00:23:08.040 But he's just a creepy old perv.

00:23:09.680 But because he's a leftist, he gets away with it.

00:23:12.700 You know, it's a great book.

00:23:14.200 It's a quick read, 140 footnotes, very meticulously researched.

00:23:18.340 And what's so exciting, Sheila, is it's available for free.

00:23:20.540 We're just giving it away to anyone for a download on suzukibook.com, suzukibook.com.

00:23:26.900 I think it's going to fly off the shelves.

00:23:29.280 I mean, it's free, but I think people are going to actually read it.

00:23:33.420 Well, you know, I hope they do.

00:23:35.140 I think it's a necessary read.

00:23:36.720 It's especially revealing about, you know, what sort of monsters we are allowing the CBC to create

00:23:45.000 and then provide cover for, for decades and decades and decades.

00:23:50.500 And like you said, if people do want to download the book, it's available for free at suzukibook.com.

00:23:57.660 And if they'd like to help out to cover the cost of creating this book and running it past the lawyer's eyes,

00:24:04.880 they can donate there, too, at suzukibook.com.

00:24:07.900 That's a good point.

00:24:08.780 I mean, it is for free, but if folks really like it, they can chip in $5, $10, even more.

00:24:13.660 We haven't got the lawyer's bill yet, but obviously this thing was every single sentence was reviewed

00:24:18.980 because Suzuki has boasted about wanting to put his opponents in jail.

00:24:23.240 Obviously, we don't want to give him any legal ability to do that.

00:24:26.140 And Sheila, I'm delighted you're doing this.

00:24:28.380 Thank you for fighting back.

00:24:30.260 Your last book, The Destroyers, went to number one on the Canadian bestseller list.

00:24:35.740 And I think this will, too.

00:24:36.880 We're giving it away for free.

00:24:38.500 We will eventually make it for sale in a paperback version for those who prefer.

00:24:42.980 But we want to really, really push the freebie, freebie, freebie.

00:24:46.960 And why not?

00:24:47.900 It's a great read.

00:24:48.760 It's a quick read.

00:24:50.320 It took me, you know, it's only about a little more than an hour to read it.

00:24:54.020 I was reading it very carefully.

00:24:54.900 So it's not, you don't have to say, oh, I've got to set it aside a half a day.

00:24:58.420 It's a quick read.

00:24:59.440 But all the facts are, you can't read that book without coming away thinking, what the

00:25:04.260 heck was U of A thinking?

00:25:06.280 And what has the CBC perpetrated against us for almost 50 years?

00:25:10.620 Last word to you, Sheila.

00:25:13.840 It's a great book.

00:25:14.920 It's a short book.

00:25:15.800 Grab a beer, grab a lawn chair, and educate yourself.

00:25:19.260 There you go.

00:25:19.980 Will do.

00:25:20.400 That sounds like a good way to pass the time.

00:25:23.220 SuzukiBook.com.

00:25:24.540 Sheila, keep up the fight. 1.00

00:25:26.940 Great.

00:25:27.400 Thanks, Ezra.

00:25:27.980 All right.

00:25:28.480 Thank you.

00:25:29.760 Well, I'm proud of this book.

00:25:31.260 We've published, I think, four books at The Rebel now.

00:25:34.980 The first one was Sheila's book, The Destroyers, went to number one on Amazon.ca.

00:25:40.280 Then we published a book by Lauren Southern called Barbarians.

00:25:44.640 That went to number one on Amazon.ca.

00:25:47.960 My book was the third book.

00:25:49.700 It was called Trumping Trudeau.

00:25:51.120 That only went to number two on the bestseller list.

00:25:54.360 And now here we have our fourth book, The Case Against Suzuki and Unauthorized Biography.

00:26:00.860 Check it out.

00:26:01.400 It's free.

00:26:02.080 And tell your friends.

00:26:03.420 All right.

00:26:03.620 Stay with us.

00:26:04.200 More ahead on The Rebel.

00:26:04.820 Welcome back.

00:26:18.020 Well, for our Ontario viewers, tomorrow is Election Day.

00:26:21.520 Can you believe it?

00:26:22.660 It's amazing how much has happened in the last few months.

00:26:25.440 Earlier this year, Patrick Brown was on cruise control, a red Tory who supported the carbon tax.

00:26:31.780 And that flip-flopped on so many issues, he was defenestrated.

00:26:35.800 That's my favorite fancy word.

00:26:37.840 It means being thrown out the window.

00:26:40.280 The party had a lightning-quick leadership race.

00:26:42.640 Doug Ford surprised people by winning.

00:26:45.100 And now it looks like he may well be the next premier.

00:26:49.380 Tough to say, though.

00:26:50.320 Polls show it's pretty close.

00:26:51.700 I see some showing that the NDP and the Tories are neck and neck.

00:26:55.720 Kathleen Wynne did something very strange.

00:26:57.320 She said, well, yeah, I don't think I'm going to win, but vote for the Liberals anyways.

00:27:00.380 I don't know what that will do.

00:27:02.080 If that will move people to the Liberals, away from the Liberals, who knows?

00:27:06.580 But what's so fascinating about this campaign to me is how insane some of the NDP candidates are.

00:27:16.000 And even though they've been vetted by the media, that's just fine as far as I know.

00:27:21.620 And our next guest will correct me if I'm wrong.

00:27:23.260 And despite insane public statements being made by the NDP candidates that are utterly disqualifying,

00:27:29.580 at least in a moral way, if not a legal way, I wouldn't say they're disqualifying in a legal way,

00:27:36.780 the NDP is proceeding with its motley crew of kooks.

00:27:41.600 We now are joined by Candace Malcolm.

00:27:45.360 Her article in the Toronto Sun is,

00:27:46.760 Beware, today's NDP is more radical than ever.

00:27:49.380 That ain't no lie.

00:27:50.300 Candace, I don't know where they found these folks, but there are some doozies.

00:27:56.020 Tell me about some of the, you list them in your article.

00:28:00.300 I don't think any of them break the law, but they're pretty bloody insane.

00:28:04.300 Give me a few examples.

00:28:05.200 Well, sure, Ezra.

00:28:07.720 So everyone knows that the NDP tend to be hard left on economic issues.

00:28:12.140 But the new NDP and the new left really takes on this sort of identity politics brand.

00:28:17.760 And that's what my article was about.

00:28:19.640 So, you know, we had someone saying that the black Toronto police chief should win something called a Kuhn Award.

00:28:27.280 We have, you know, just kind of.

00:28:29.660 Let me just stop you there. Let me pause you there.

00:28:30.600 Just, I mean, that's an obscure racial epithet.

00:28:33.400 It's almost as bad as the N-word, because the chief of police is black. 1.00

00:28:38.020 Calling him the C-word, C-O-O-N, I don't even want to say that.

00:28:42.140 That is, that's like calling a Jew a K-I-K-E, or using the N-word for black.

00:28:49.460 That is insane that she got away with that. 1.00

00:28:53.080 And she's still a candidate, right?

00:28:55.460 Right.

00:28:55.900 Well, and that's the thing, you know, there's a whole bunch of these kind of comments, like, saying that gun nuts should be droned and bombed.

00:29:04.160 One candidate said that.

00:29:05.380 Another one compared Canada's troops and our soldiers in Afghanistan to war criminals.

00:29:11.160 That same candidate posted a meme of Adolf Hitler on her Facebook page, although she claims that her Facebook page was hacked and that it wasn't her.

00:29:18.700 I mean, this is just a couple of examples of how...

00:29:24.900 I apologize for interrupting.

00:29:26.500 I just can't even stay quiet.

00:29:28.040 The idea that she would publish a Hitler meme and get away with it by saying, oh, someone must have hacked my Facebook account.

00:29:35.680 Put the Hitler meme, and I just sort of kept it up there for years.

00:29:39.000 But I swear it was those evil Hitler meme hackers. 0.62

00:29:42.800 I mean, the fact that that excuse was bought and accepted, Candace.

00:29:47.520 I'm sorry, let me be quiet, and you keep going.

00:29:50.240 I just can't stay still, though, with these insane stories.

00:29:53.120 Keep going.

00:29:53.640 There's more.

00:29:54.460 What about Gurutan Singh, the brother of Jagmeet Singh?

00:29:58.560 He's quite a character, isn't he?

00:30:01.100 Yeah, that's right.

00:30:02.120 But he held up a sign saying F. He actually said the F word, the police, and he was holding it up at a rally, you know, very openly with his face, you know, very recognizable guy, the brother of the federal leader, the NDP.

00:30:17.820 You know, so this is the kind of people that the NDP has recruited.

00:30:23.120 They're completely unvetted from a professional standpoint.

00:30:25.800 The kind of people that you probably wouldn't even hire for a job, because you wouldn't want that kind of toxic environment around you.

00:30:32.840 You know, these are just examples, Ezra.

00:30:34.660 But really, it does show the mindset, not only of the individual people who get attracted to the sort of radical left and the far left, which the NDP Ontario really is,

00:30:46.320 but the mindset of the party that, you know, these kind of things are okay, that these candidates didn't get fired.

00:30:52.680 Andrew Horvath, the leader, actually defended them, saying that, you know, people do radical things when they want change and that a lot of people are critical of war.

00:31:01.720 And so, therefore, comparing Canadian soldiers to war criminals is somehow, you know, just fair game for being critical of war.

00:31:10.640 There's also a 9-11 truther among the pack. 0.87

00:31:13.400 There's a woman who wrote a handbook for radicals about how to sort of break the law and do these economic protests where they destroy private property and all this kind of stuff. 1.00

00:31:25.700 You know, when you think about Antifa and the far left and the crazy things that they do, these are actually, this is the base,

00:31:31.600 and these are the people who will be representing Ontario if they go ahead and vote for the NDP tomorrow.

00:31:37.200 You know, it reminds me of some of the kooks in Alberta who were swept ashore by the high tide.

00:31:44.520 When they signed up, they had no chance, and they were just putting their name there.

00:31:48.880 And, you know, the things that were washed up on the beach were shocking.

00:31:53.320 But I think that the Ontario NDP was never as fringe as Alberta's was.

00:31:58.600 And some of these candidates are fairly well-known.

00:32:01.600 I mean, some of the kooks who were elected in Alberta literally just were students who, at a student club, put their name down,

00:32:10.140 had, you know, didn't even campaign, thought it was a joke.

00:32:13.520 In Ontario, I think they were always contenders, which I think makes it more serious.

00:32:16.980 I want to go back to Jagmeet Singh's brother.

00:32:20.180 Jagmeet Singh is the leader of the federal NDP.

00:32:23.140 His brother, Gurutan, is a candidate for the provincial NDP.

00:32:25.940 So he's not a nobody. He's not a, like, he's fairly well-known.

00:32:30.460 We're going to show the picture now of that sign.

00:32:34.040 If someone is standing right next to a cop with a big sign in public that says F-U-C-K the police,

00:32:41.320 how can that person be a lawmaker?

00:32:45.700 I mean, what, is he going to be the attorney general or the solicitor general?

00:32:49.460 Is he going to be in charge of the Ontario Provincial Police?

00:32:51.820 How could you, if someone, when you say F-U-C-K the police, you're basically saying F-U-C-K the law, F-U-C-K the rule of law.

00:32:58.540 How can such a person then seek to be a lawmaker?

00:33:01.620 I, how?

00:33:04.040 I don't know.

00:33:04.660 Maybe I'm asking into the wind.

00:33:06.200 I don't understand.

00:33:08.320 Well, it's a good question.

00:33:09.820 And you're right.

00:33:10.460 You know, one of the other fundamental things that the far left believes in is that Canada itself is somehow a racist, sexist, bigoted country based on genocide and imperialism and all those other things that they say.

00:33:25.820 And it really does show a fundamental hatred for Canada and our way of life and our values.

00:33:30.860 And to see a person really just kind of embodying that, holding up that sign, saying all that, you know, that the police don't even have, you know, possibly the authority to do what they're doing and a complete disregard, as you say, for the rule of law.

00:33:45.340 It's concerning.

00:33:46.100 Yeah, I remember your journalist, Sheila Gunn-Reed, did a great job digging up all that information about those crazy NDP candidates in Alberta.

00:33:54.860 The same thing happened, Ezra, in 2011, federally, when the NDP had this sort of orange wave and a bunch of people got elected, especially in Quebec.

00:34:03.820 You know, some of them weren't even, didn't even speak French or weren't even from the riding or the area or Quebec.

00:34:09.680 And they were all of a sudden federal lawmakers.

00:34:12.560 I think it's part of the concern in Canada when we have kind of a protest vote.

00:34:16.960 In Ontario, people are angry at Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals, who have completely destroyed the province through their reckless policies.

00:34:23.340 I don't blame people for being frustrated, but, you know, to go to a protest vote and vote for a party that really has no business being in those kinds of positions,

00:34:33.460 people who haven't been, you know, screened, they haven't been scrutinized the way that other mainstream politicians have been.

00:34:40.620 And we could wake up to some pretty scary, frightening new leaders and new lawmakers in the province of Ontario on Friday

00:34:48.860 if people go ahead and vote with this impulse to do a, you know, a protest vote against the Liberals.

00:34:56.340 Yeah, it's terrifying.

00:34:58.020 At the very least, I think it's safe to say the NDP is going to be the opposition in Ontario, I think.

00:35:02.900 I mean, listen, you never know what's going to happen, but that's what the polls suggest to me.

00:35:05.920 Let me isolate one of the examples.

00:35:09.580 You gave so many crazy examples there, and I recommend the column, folks.

00:35:13.060 And by the way, we're talking about Ontario, but don't think what happens on Ontario doesn't affect the rest of the country.

00:35:18.660 Of course it does.

00:35:20.020 If Ontario votes in Doug Ford for whatever his flaws are, I think we'll have a bulwark against Justin Trudeau, especially on the carbon tax.

00:35:27.660 If Ontario, God forbid, votes in Andrew Horvath in the NDP, that will accelerate Trudeau's lurch to the left.

00:35:34.620 That's terrifying.

00:35:35.720 So this is of national importance, as I think Alberta elections and B.C. elections are, too.

00:35:40.580 But, Candace, let me zero in on one of the craziest examples.

00:35:43.460 You mentioned it.

00:35:44.220 We talked about it a bit.

00:35:45.000 I couldn't even sit in my chair when you said it.

00:35:47.280 That Taslim Riaz compared Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan to war criminals and posted praise to Adolf Hitler.

00:35:56.820 And, excuse me, someone hacked my Facebook.

00:35:59.480 But, Candace, here's my question.

00:36:02.200 I mean, I'm Jewish, so I'm sensitive to people who love Hitler. 0.92

00:36:05.520 I mean, Hitler wanted to kill the Jews, and he tried. 0.73

00:36:09.260 And I hear all the time about the neo-Nazi movement and alt-right movement, which I think is very small and very obscure and actually quite powerless.

00:36:17.620 But, boy, the media sure loves to fearmonger about the threat from the right.

00:36:22.520 All right, so here we have an actual case of someone posting Adolf Hitler content on their Facebook.

00:36:29.740 And this isn't some basement-dwelling nobody, you know, Internet loser.

00:36:34.800 This is a candidate for the provincial parliament of Ontario, and her excuse, I was hacked, is so laughable that her party forgives her, though, and the media forgives her.

00:36:49.000 If this was an alt-right conservative who had a Hitler meme, he would have been gone in one minute, and we would have had lectures for the rest of the campaign about the neo-Nazi threat.

00:37:00.420 By the way, I'm against neo-Nazis. I just think they're extremely rare in nature. They certainly live in the minds of the media.

00:37:07.600 Here you have an actual neo-Nazi meme, and the media shrugs because it's a leftist.

00:37:14.420 Help me out with that one, Candice. Help me square that circle.

00:37:18.740 Well, yeah, you know, it's interesting because we talk a lot about how identity politics is coming and how it's coming from the university campuses and spreading throughout society.

00:37:28.680 I think this Ontario election has shown us how it's already here, that people who are themselves minorities kind of get a pass from the media and from the mainstream.

00:37:38.180 They don't get the same kind of scrutiny.

00:37:40.180 So, you know, because this woman, you know, if this woman was white, she probably would have gotten a lot more scrutiny. 1.00

00:37:46.680 If she was on the right, certainly she would have gotten that kind of scrutiny.

00:37:49.720 But we kind of have this weird lower expectations and cultural relativism when it comes to newcomers, unfortunately.

00:37:56.780 And we saw this example play out.

00:37:58.700 There was a PC candidate named Tanya Granik-Allen who ran for leader and lost.

00:38:04.340 And as soon as she became a candidate for Doug Ford, the media dug up a bunch of comments that she had made that were sort of anti-gay or anti-Muslim.

00:38:14.320 And she was, you know, the scrutiny was so harsh that she was fired, that the PCs fired her and pushed her out.

00:38:21.600 You know, I don't agree with what Tanya was saying, but, you know, you could see the double standard, that she got pushed out for comments that were politically incorrect,

00:38:30.700 but they weren't anywhere near the extent to which these left-wing comments were.

00:38:36.180 And so definitely a double standard, definitely identity politics already here in the double standard of the media and its scrutiny.

00:38:43.400 And you're absolutely right.

00:38:44.580 There'd be no tolerance for any of this on the right.

00:38:47.060 And I would agree with that.

00:38:48.200 I would say we shouldn't have tolerance on the right.

00:38:50.200 But we also shouldn't have tolerance for someone who praises Adolf Hitler and someone who calls Canadians war criminals.

00:38:57.020 We shouldn't have tolerance for that, either Ezra, sorry.

00:39:00.580 And I think that it shows unfortunate state of our media and of our civil society right now that we somehow allow people like this to run for public office.

00:39:11.260 Yeah, it's terrifying.

00:39:12.480 You know what?

00:39:12.880 I think the conservatives will win tomorrow.

00:39:14.420 I may eat my words.

00:39:16.240 But the fact that they were so competitive with this loot bag of kooks is troubling.

00:39:24.500 And I think the NDP doesn't seem willing to clean its house if the media won't do it for them.

00:39:29.520 I think that's a troubling state of affairs.

00:39:31.740 Candice, it's great to see you again.

00:39:32.760 Thanks for taking the time to come on the show.

00:39:35.620 Thanks for having me.

00:39:36.560 All right.

00:39:36.920 There you have it.

00:39:37.320 Candice Malcolm, the column is called Beware.

00:39:39.420 Today's NDP is more radical than ever.

00:39:42.520 Stay with us.

00:39:43.540 More ahead on The Riff.

00:39:56.840 Welcome back.

00:39:57.560 Back on my monologue last night, James writes,

00:40:00.180 Soon to be announced, women in burqas only allowed in pageant. 0.99

00:40:03.780 That way we won't know who the hell wins the award and no one's feelings will be hurt.

00:40:09.140 Well, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

00:40:11.460 I think more likely is to have men in Miss Canada who are transgender.

00:40:18.940 Ted writes,

00:40:19.700 Oh, Ezra, you kidder.

00:40:21.060 You have a chance at winning the Miss America contest as if the war on sanity were the only consideration.

00:40:26.640 Sure, if it were, you would be Miss America this year for sure.

00:40:29.940 But aren't you forgetting something?

00:40:31.020 You're a conservative dude.

00:40:32.360 You have about as much chance to be treated equally as Canada has to be a free,

00:40:36.320 civilized, terror-free country in 2025 with Soxclown as PM.

00:40:40.080 Sorry, not happening.

00:40:40.760 Yeah, look, I think I have more cards in politically correct poker to play than some people

00:40:51.180 because I'm Jewish and that still gives you a little bit of a trump card, but not much.

00:40:56.180 I think that, frankly, we're so far gone in the politically correct hierarchy, the politically

00:41:04.460 correct poker game.

00:41:05.700 I don't know if you saw my interview with Andrew Klavan the other day.

00:41:07.680 I asked him, who's going to win the battle, the transgender man or the Muslim woman in 0.89

00:41:11.760 that Windsor aesthetic salon?

00:41:14.520 Frankly, I'm betting on the Muslim woman. 1.00

00:41:18.380 On the Ontario election, Paul writes,

00:41:20.980 No matter which poll you look at, it looks like the Ontario Liberals are in danger of losing

00:41:24.540 official party status. Wynn is warning about the dangers of a majority government.

00:41:28.740 Just look at the damage the Liberals have done with their majorities.

00:41:31.120 She forgot to mention that, of course.

00:41:32.640 The sister of Patrick Brown works at the law firm that is suing Doug Ford, kind of suspicious,

00:41:36.600 if you ask me.

00:41:38.420 I saw that, and it is eyebrow-raising, that's for sure, that Patrick Brown's sister is at

00:41:46.360 the law firm that's suing Doug Ford, but the firm is fairly big, and I wouldn't read

00:41:51.940 too much into that. I mean, there's lawyers, lawyers are everywhere in politics, and they're

00:41:58.240 all with some firm, and some of these firms are quite large, and they have Liberal and

00:42:02.520 Tory and even some NDPers. So yes, it is curious, and it would be worth a follow-up, but I'm not

00:42:08.200 going to call it a conspiracy theory. Look, the lawsuit will be heard. Obviously, the family's

00:42:14.540 having a rift over this, and one side's right and one side's wrong, or maybe they're both half-right.

00:42:19.480 I actually don't think that's going to be an election issue to move the vote for a lot

00:42:25.080 of people.

00:42:25.980 That's our show for today until tomorrow. On behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,

00:42:30.520 good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
