Hello, my friends. Big show today. Two big stories. A huge story from when we went to the Walk
00:00:06.260
with Israel march through Toronto's busy Bathurst Street. It's a Jewish neighborhood, but the pro
00:00:12.440
Hamas activists usually show up with loudspeakers to scream at the Jews. I'll show you how police
00:00:19.700
handled it this year. And also, we have been sued in trademark dispute by Tim Hortons. I'll show you
00:00:25.980
what that's all about and tell you how we're going to fight back but first let me invite you
00:00:30.120
to become a subscriber to rebel news plus that's the video version of this podcast just go to
00:00:34.560
rebelnewsplus.com click subscribe and especially for today's show about the march the walk with
00:00:40.240
israel it's so visual you know i i mean of course you'll get something out of it if you just listen
00:00:45.460
to it but oh there's so you've got to see the sights you've got to see the flags you've got
00:00:50.560
to see the signs you've got to see in some cases the costumes and the makeup to understand what's
00:00:55.700
going on in our city streets. So, please consider getting Rebel News Plus at rebelnewsplus.com.
00:01:16.620
Tonight, it's really happened. Tim Hortons has sued Rebel News. I'll give you all the details
00:01:21.320
and our plans to fight back. It's June 8th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:41.040
Hello, my friends. Busy times over here at Rebel News. So many things going on
00:01:45.260
in so many different places. Today, I've got two big stories for you. Coming up a little later in
00:01:50.340
the show. A lot of our team went to the Walk with Israel, it's called. It's for many Jews,
00:01:57.240
but many non-Jewish allies who were sick of the antisemitism in Canada. About 60,000 people walked
00:02:03.720
through Toronto's busy Bathurst Street. I note that not the premier, prime minister, or mayor,
00:02:09.260
they didn't attend. Neither did the Council on Antisemitism, which is sort of weird. You'd think
00:02:14.300
they'd all be there. None of them were. But for the first time in three years, the police actually
00:02:19.800
did their job and pushed the screaming counter protesters the pro-hamas types back from the
00:02:26.000
parade so moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas and children didn't have to listen to it it's
00:02:30.840
quite a spectacle i was there along with about a half a dozen rebels we like to cover that beat
00:02:36.060
and it was very interesting i'm glad we were there lots of love for rebel news that's coming up in a
00:02:40.380
moment but first our inquiry into tim hortons and their preference for foreign workers over
00:02:47.280
Canadian workers has taken a dark turn. I think you may know that they sent us a threat letter
00:02:52.900
a few days ago, banning us from all their property in Canada for life. It's actually
00:02:58.960
quite dramatic. Now, the funny thing is I don't go to Tim Hortons. I prefer McDonald's coffee,
00:03:04.020
not just because it tastes better, because they're less anti-Canadian. But today they
00:03:09.060
actually hit us with a real form of litigation, a trademark dispute that they filed with our
00:03:13.680
Rebel News store. They want to knock us out so we can't make merchandise that satirizes or
00:03:20.080
criticizes Tim Hortons. But that actually is allowed under law. In fact, trademark law has
00:03:26.100
a special exception for criticism or satire. You're allowed to say things like Tim Hortons sucks. Now,
0.98
00:03:31.840
we didn't say Tim Hortons sucks. In fact, we said something very, very gentle. We said make Tim
0.94
00:03:37.500
Hortons Canadian again. It almost sounds positive, like we're sort of cheering for them to stop
00:03:42.460
hiring foreign workers. Well, that was too much for them. They filed a legal dispute with our
1.00
00:03:48.700
shop company called Shopify, that if it were to go the distance would knock us off the internet
00:03:54.280
as a store. Now we could find a different place, I'm sure, but it's outrageous that Tim Hortons
00:03:59.120
would try and punish us this way. And that's obviously what they're doing. This is punishment
00:04:03.140
for our journalism. So without further ado, let me show you the campaign video that I just released
00:04:08.500
on this subject. Tim Hortons is trying desperately to shut us up. They've called the police on our
00:04:15.400
reporters three times and they just had their lawyers file a legal complaint against us trying
00:04:21.680
to get our store banned on the internet. I really need your help. This is a classic case of David
00:04:28.780
versus Goliath. If Goliath was a big dumb donut shop that refused to hire Canadian workers and
0.99
00:04:35.600
preferred hiring foreign workers. You can learn more about the story at timsboycott.com. But let
0.98
00:04:42.260
me give you a little bit of background right now. For two weeks, we've been telling the truth about
00:04:46.800
Tim Hortons and their gross plans to hire foreign workers instead of young Canadians. Our reporting
00:04:53.560
has been a problem for them because you see, they've just started a huge PR campaign to rebrand
00:04:59.260
themselves as Canadian patriots because Dunkin' Donuts, the American-based firm, is about to open
00:05:05.980
up hundreds of locations in Canada later this year. And Tim Hortons thinks they can win back
00:05:10.820
customers by pretending to be Canadian. But we discovered that even though Tim Hortons says
00:05:17.240
they're hiring Canadians, they actually are still actively bringing foreign workers to Canada by
00:05:23.900
using the government's temporary foreign worker program. So we went to some of those Tim Hortons
00:05:29.060
locations and asked them why they were saying they were hiring locals when in fact they were
00:05:34.840
hiring foreigners. I mean, why? Why? When I actually asked one of the Tim Hortons managers
00:05:40.540
who was actively bringing in foreigners, he lied about it, saying he didn't know anything about it
00:05:46.360
while I was literally holding his restaurant's ad for foreigners in my hands. Here, take a look.
00:05:52.340
I'm probably going to talk about this restaurant manager position. Are you the person to talk to
00:06:00.880
With Revolues, I want to ask a little bit about it
00:06:03.280
because this is a temporary foreign workers position
00:06:07.400
and I thought Tim Hortons was done with temporary foreign workers.
00:06:11.660
So at the restaurant level, we have nothing ready to say about it.
00:06:14.500
So did you take out this act or was this corporate?
00:06:19.360
Are you still hiring temporary foreign workers?
00:06:39.720
but there was a big announcement by the corporate boss
00:07:00.060
But this is from, I printed this off like one hour ago.
00:07:04.640
Well, this is from the government's temporary foreign workers account.
00:07:12.800
There's about 90 different locations, including this one.
00:07:18.040
So this one here says that this location is hiring foreign workers,
00:07:23.620
and you specifically LMIA and labor market impact assessments.
00:07:28.240
You guys are trying to get foreign workers here.
00:07:30.640
I just want to know how that squares with corporate statements the other day.
00:07:36.660
so we don't have any comment on it at this point.
00:07:51.920
So those managers courageously kicked me off the property,
00:07:55.940
saying we couldn't talk to any store managers or owners anymore ever.
00:08:00.440
They thought maybe that would stop us from exposing their lying.
00:08:05.300
We kept doing journalism about their plans to import hundreds of foreign workers.
00:08:09.560
We talked to people going to the Tim Hortons drive-thru,
0.90
00:08:12.300
And 100% of the people we spoke with agreed, stop hiring foreign workers, start hiring Canadians
1.00
00:08:20.660
instead. Here's a sample of how that went. Should Tim Hortons prioritize temporary foreign workers
0.70
00:08:25.540
or Canadians first? Oh, Canadians. Canadians? Canadians first. Oh, I'm not sure. Canadians
1.00
00:08:34.080
first, I would say. Do you think they should hire Canadians? They should hire Canadians for sure.
1.00
00:08:38.320
This store here is still advertising for foreign workers.
1.00
00:08:46.320
Canadians love everyone, but we need to take care of our own first.
1.00
00:08:49.640
I'm kind of looking forward to Dunkin' Donuts coming.
00:08:57.680
and they should have been able to get a job there, and they haven't.
00:09:00.400
I think it is affecting Canadians because Canadians can't get jobs.
00:09:05.780
um but i mean i feel like they need jobs too the immigrants need jobs but at the same time it's like
00:09:13.300
canadians genuinely don't have anywhere to work now and prices keep going up well when we showed
00:09:18.960
that that made them go nuts their own customers were mad at them they had their top lawyers send
00:09:25.120
us a threat letter saying if we go back to ask any more questions they and i'm quoting here
00:09:30.140
We will report the trespass to police and pursue all available remedies, including charges under the applicable act and civil action.
00:09:40.600
Translation, if we ask them any more questions, they're going to call the cops, press charges, and sue us in civil court too.
00:09:47.380
Have you ever seen a more thin-skinned bully than Tim Hortons?
00:09:51.980
By the way, it's obvious why they're panicking.
00:09:54.600
They're literally the number one user of foreign workers of any restaurant chain in the country.
1.00
00:09:59.220
they are the worst. Well, obviously we're not going to stop our journalism just because some
1.00
00:10:04.500
corporate lawyer threatens us. So we went out again and again and again, but because we respect
00:10:11.700
private property, we just stood on the public sidewalk, but still the crazed lunatics at Tim
00:10:17.460
Hortons HQ literally called the police on us. I say again, our reporters did not go in, did not
00:10:24.820
even come close. They just stood with the Tim Hortons in the background. And these bullies
00:10:30.320
called 911. You take a look. You're in the drive through videoing customers in the drive through.
00:10:37.480
Right. Yeah. No, we've been very mindful not to cause any sort of disturbance or anything like
00:10:41.900
that. So we're just out here asking people if they think that Tim Hortons should hire temporary
00:10:46.940
foreign workers or prioritize Canadians first. So getting a lot of good feedback on that.
00:10:51.480
Okay, so I'm not going to make a comment, but the owner is on their way just to check things out because I think people from in the store are calling in.
00:11:00.420
So we just want to make sure things stay that way and that you're not coming onto the property and videoing people on the property.
00:11:07.800
And if they ask you to leave the property, then you do need to leave the property.
00:11:11.140
Folks, I have never seen such a wasteful use of police resources.
00:11:19.360
what the hell were they talking about with the Tim Hortons management I can imagine the conversation
00:11:26.660
sir you called 911 yes that's right uh what's the nature of the complaint oh Rebel News is here
00:11:33.040
where oh on yonder sidewalk and um and uh can you arrest them no and that's it but no they
00:11:42.560
they ragged the puck to use a hockey analogy for one hour what the hell were they talking about
00:11:49.180
and during that hour how many real crimes were being committed in york region can you believe
00:11:56.300
that they've got a corporate pr crisis independent journalists at rebel news are exposing their lies
00:12:02.180
about hiring foreigners they're claiming they're hiring canadians they're lying to their own
00:12:06.740
customers and so they think that calling the police is the solution to a pr problem to do what
00:12:36.580
So today they lashed out in a new way, in anger.
00:12:40.540
they lodged a trademark complaint against rebel news trying to get our shopify account banned
00:12:47.840
shopify is our store where we sell merchandise this is the shirt they're complaining against
00:12:53.740
it's clearly not made by tim hortons it's obviously a gentle criticism of tim hortons
00:12:59.620
wishing they were canadian again not foreign run and they had their lawyers send a threat letter
00:13:05.640
to Shopify saying what we're doing is illegal. Well, I know a little something about trademark
0.97
00:13:11.180
law myself. It's meant to stop people from passing themselves off as the real thing.
00:13:16.260
It's meant to stop confusion in the market. So if you set up Tom Hortons and made it look the same,
00:13:22.000
that would be a trademark violation because you're trying to trick people into thinking
00:13:25.620
that you're the real thing. You're confusing the market, but criticizing Tim Hortons,
00:13:30.840
it's not a trademark violation. In fact, criticism and satire are specifically permitted under
00:13:37.340
trademark law. This is literally like an editorial cartoon, very gently ribbing Tim Hortons for
00:13:44.840
hiring foreigners instead of Canadians. So they have filed a trademark dispute, a kind of lawsuit
00:13:51.380
against us at Shopify, and we have to hire lawyers to respond. And we have to do so within 48 hours,
00:13:57.480
or we could have our t-shirt suspended from the site and potentially have our entire store shut
00:14:04.420
down. Do you see what these thugs are doing? These bullies at Tim Hortons? They're literally
00:14:11.680
doing whatever they can to destroy it to stop us from revealing the truth about their foreign
1.00
00:14:16.080
workers scam. First, they threatened us. They banned us from their property. They threatened
0.94
00:14:21.540
us with lawsuits. They threatened us with police and they actually did call police multiple times.
00:14:26.920
Luckily, the police realized that Tim Hortons were just being bullies and so they didn't do anything.
00:14:32.220
So now the thugs at Tim Hortons are trying to destroy us commercially by going after our Rebel News store.
00:14:43.240
It's even, you might say, positive about Tim Hortons.
00:14:47.240
No real person could possibly oppose this shirt.
00:14:53.640
I mean, no one would possibly think it's a real Tim Hortons ad, but they're trying to hurt rebel
00:15:00.940
any way they can. They're trying to shut down our store and cost us hundreds of thousands of
00:15:05.160
dollars just because we won't stop reporting on their foreign migrant scam. So what should we do?
1.00
00:15:13.380
Should we be like the rest of the media and cheer for Tim Hortons? Of course not.
00:15:18.760
They're only doing that because Tim Hortons is such a large advertiser. So of course,
00:15:23.640
These media companies are going to help propagate the Tim Horton lies.
00:15:26.900
I mean, the other day, the Financial Post actually wrote an article, some editorial,
00:15:32.940
supporting hiring foreign workers instead of Canadians.
00:15:37.060
Tell me you take Tim Horton's ad money without telling me you take Tim Horton's ad money.
0.82
00:15:41.480
They literally support hiring foreigners over Canadians.
0.88
00:15:45.540
No, we don't have any Tim Horton's ad money, so they can't use the carrot on us, so they'll use the stick.
0.96
00:15:51.000
calling 911 didn't shut us up so now they're trying to knock us out of business not so easily
00:15:58.700
though here's my plan to fight back and i need your help with a lot of these step one we're
00:16:03.680
going to keep doing journalism about tim hortons how they favor foreign workers over canadians
00:16:08.000
and all sorts of other unethical conduct we're digging up about them so that's for us to do
00:16:12.320
step two we're going to sell a lot more t-shirts and coffee mugs about tim hortons not just that
00:16:18.460
one image that we had before. If we have to go to court to teach these bullies a lesson about free
00:16:23.720
speech, so be it. But you never know if Tim Hortons gets its way, you won't be able to get those
00:16:28.940
anymore. That would make them hard to find collectibles. Anyways, give Tim Hortons the
00:16:33.040
finger by buying the t-shirt that obviously enrages them, the big bullies. You can do that
00:16:39.240
at our website, timsboycott.com. Now, step three is what I need your help with really. We've got
00:16:45.880
to ramp up our Tim's Boycott petition. Last I checked, we have more than 14,000 signatures on
00:16:52.400
it, but we need 10 times as many. If you haven't signed it yet, please go right now to timsboycott.com.
00:17:00.520
Step four. In the past two weeks, we have heard horror stories about Tim Horton's and its
00:17:07.240
employment practices. I'm not just talking about bugs and mice in with the donuts. I'm talking
00:17:13.460
about human rights violations, about how the Tim Hortons franchise owners take advantage of the
00:17:19.340
foreign labor they bring in. You've probably heard about some of these horror stories before.
00:17:23.520
Our own Tamara Ugolini exposed some of it. Remember this? Sent her a message over Snapchat
00:17:28.320
asking her if she had a boyfriend, which she had replied no. She asked if she wanted an Indian
00:17:35.300
boyfriend. And my niece's reply was, well, how old is he? And she said 25. And she said, well,
00:17:44.720
I heard I could make $20,000 if I wanted to marry the manager's brother here.
00:17:56.160
Just because your boss doesn't like the fact that an independent journalist is in here video recording,
00:18:08.040
Well, we know there are hundreds of stories out there like that, because remember, a lot of these stories are being managed by foreign nationals who don't share our Canadian values about human rights or following the law.
0.95
00:18:20.900
If you know about a human rights violation, an immigration law violation, a situation where foreign workers are being abused or being taken advantage of or exploited or just plain old anti-Canadian racism, let us know in our tip line.
0.99
00:18:44.720
If you are a Tim Hortons insider, if you work there and have seen a terrible thing,
00:18:49.760
and I understand many people have, email us at timhortons at rebelnews.com
00:19:02.200
I mentioned we're hiring trademark lawyers to fight back against Tim Hortons' legal attack on our store.
00:19:07.980
Obviously, those lawyers cost a lot of money and unlike Tim Hortons, we don't have billions
00:19:12.540
of dollars from a foreign hedge fund at our disposal.
00:19:16.400
But it's clear that this trademark lawsuit is just the first attack they've already told
00:19:21.380
They're considering suing us and trying to get police to prosecute us too.
00:19:26.440
So we have to build a war chest because we expect a long and bitter fight with Tim Hortons
00:19:32.100
on the legal front and journalistically and they've already shown they will fight dirty.
00:19:36.940
If you can help us level the playing field, please do, by chipping into our legal defense fund.
00:19:45.900
Thanks a million. I promise we'll keep fighting these bullies.
00:20:03.660
I am standing in the heart of the Jewish community in Toronto.
00:20:07.400
It's called Bathurst Street, a big north-south road,
00:20:14.240
There's plenty of synagogues and schools, Jewish restaurants and shops.
00:20:18.300
And it's been a place of Jewish life for a century.
00:20:22.580
But in the last few years, it's been a place of anti-Semitic hate crimes,
00:20:27.020
where almost every day another synagogue is vandalized, torched,
00:20:31.360
sometimes even shot at with guns. And because Jews are all along this street, and many of them are
1.00
00:20:38.160
very conspicuous, they wear traditional clothing, anti-Semitic violence is as easy as driving along
1.00
00:20:45.040
the street and shooting at anyone who looks Jewish. And that's been happening in recent months,
00:20:51.560
and police either cannot or will not do anything about it. Which brings us to today. Every year,
00:20:58.940
for about 50 years the jews have had a walk a peaceful walk down this road they call it walk
00:21:05.420
with israel historically every politician wants to see and be seen there i mean it would be like
00:21:12.140
going to a greek festival or the saint patrick's day parade or even the gay pride parade these are
00:21:18.460
things that naturally attract politicians who want to be seen supporting a community historically
00:21:25.980
the mayor would never miss it i mean think about it 50 000 voters who just want to see you but in
00:21:32.220
the last three years politicians have boycotted this event they can do the math demographically
00:21:38.300
they see mass immigration has brought millions of people to canada who are anti-semitic and some of
00:21:44.380
whom actually support violence so at least in the last several years mayor olivia chow premier doug
00:21:50.940
forward. Prime Ministers Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney have boycotted this event. We'll see if
00:21:56.380
that's the case again today. But it's not just politicians, it's the police. There's been such
00:22:01.640
a two-tier standard of policing. Obviously, the most shocking example is the difference between
00:22:08.220
how the pro-Hamas protesters are treated here versus the trucker convoy. Completely peaceful
00:22:13.940
in both Ontario and federally. The governments invoke the Emergencies Act, mass arrests,
00:22:19.920
seized bank accounts. Those were peaceful Canadian citizens protesting COVID lockdowns.
00:22:25.800
Here you have foreign nationals, over 700 Iranian agents from various terrorist groups active in
00:22:33.600
Canada on the streets. The government knows who they are and they go with impunity. And I'm not
0.88
00:22:40.040
talking about some made up hate or feelings crime. I'm talking about assault, mischief,
00:22:45.840
vandalism, shootings, arson, uttering threats, those are all real crimes that
00:22:51.940
the police has turned a blind eye to. In fact, at Rebel News, when we simply want
00:22:56.220
to report on this violent anti-Semitism, this anti-Jewish crime wave, we've been
00:23:02.160
arrested. I personally was arrested simply for trying to film an anti-Semitic
00:23:06.940
installment in a Jewish neighborhood. And that's the other thing. These
00:23:11.520
protesters who come in here for Hamas, they obviously don't live in the Jewish
00:23:15.740
neighborhood. They drive in for miles right into the heart of the Jewish community in residential
00:23:21.460
areas. There's not an Israeli consulate here. There's no military equipment factories here.
00:23:27.620
It's just Jews, mums and dads, grandmas and grandpas and kids. And when the Hamas protesters
0.88
00:23:34.580
come in, they set up outside residential streets, residential apartments. And so far,
0.54
00:23:40.660
the police have treated them with kid gloves. One of the things we do every year is we bring
00:23:45.440
our big beautiful billboard truck and rotate different messages on it at this
00:23:50.540
moment we're letting people know one of our petitions is about Hamas we say if
00:23:56.000
you're not a citizen there's a checklist here as you can see if you're not a
00:24:01.760
citizen if you support terrorism you're out of here you're deported so we have a
00:24:09.500
petition at deporthamas.com. It's one of the various messages in our big, beautiful billboard
00:24:17.880
truck that we set up today. I had a little bit of negotiating with the police on where to put the
00:24:24.060
truck. Ironically, a Jewish security guard wanted us to move it. I got into a bit of an argy-bargy.
00:24:30.520
There are still Jews with wobbly knees around who don't like vigorous conversations like that which
1.00
00:24:38.220
the truck carries anyways you can hear the music it's going to be a festival atmosphere but all
1.00
00:24:45.600
along bathers there's police there's no other community that needs 1000 or more police simply
0.83
00:24:54.380
to walk down a street the muslim community certainly doesn't no one attacks them no it
00:24:59.600
wouldn't be a terrorist attack there the gay community i mentioned the saint patrick's day
00:25:04.660
Parade, the Columbus Day Parade. I don't know if we have that in Toronto. No other community needs
00:25:09.520
a thousand police just to walk the streets. That's the state of anti-Semitism in Canada today.
00:25:14.960
I'm going to be here all day. We've got a bunch of Rebel News reporters here
00:25:18.160
because I think it's a microcosm of the larger problems in this country. Mass immigration,
1.00
00:25:24.840
people coming to Canada who do not share our values, police being afraid to apply the law
0.77
00:25:29.160
even-handedly, politicians doing the math and realizing their future lies with anti-Semites.
00:25:34.660
not jews the demographic change there's so many things afoot i'm also going to ask questions of
00:25:40.100
the jews the jewish community historically has been supportive of open borders immigration
00:25:45.460
hey how's that working out for you i'll ask if i see any liberal mps how they dare to show their
0.53
00:25:51.140
face here after their complicity with hamas so that's my scene setter from this morning
00:25:57.380
the parade is about to start in 40 minutes we'll have news for you throughout the day
00:26:04.660
voice I don't have the voice that you have but you know you're the front line of all this and
00:26:10.920
you take the punishment and I really appreciate you doing that for me I'd like to get involved
00:26:18.540
somehow but what you do you know you speak up when the voices are so much bigger than
00:26:24.920
you know than your voice but you speak up David and Goliath I suppose so yeah I listen
00:26:34.560
to you all the time, and it gives me talking points
00:26:49.140
So I'm headed north on Bathurst to Bathurst and Shepherd,
00:26:54.340
the site of the weekly anti-Semitic hate festival
00:27:00.280
And you can see wave after wave, like there's thousands
00:27:03.260
people coming south you would think this is the march it's not they're coming to the muster point
0.94
00:27:09.500
and then they're going to walk north it just shows how densely jewish this street is these are folks
00:27:16.860
who are just literally coming from their houses and apartments to muster at wilson uh street which
00:27:23.780
is uh about a half a mile that way so when the hamas activists target this neighborhood they
00:27:30.680
exactly what they're doing. They're not going for political or corporate or
00:27:35.400
military targets. They're trying to demonize, terrify, and humiliate ordinary
00:27:43.340
Thank you. It's fun to get the the natural feedback from folks here. I think
00:27:50.600
over the last three years it's not just been a political failure to deal with
0.87
00:27:54.360
Hamas terrorism. I think it's been a journalistic failure. One of the reasons
00:27:58.560
we've reported from the Bathurst and Shepard conflagration every week is because the regime
00:28:04.540
media simply doesn't. Why would they not? Because it shows the grotesque anti-Semitism and hate
00:28:11.220
that is the pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas side. Why wouldn't a regime journalist film that weekly
0.55
00:28:19.180
conflict? I mean, it's got all the elements of an interesting news story. It's got two stark sides,
00:28:23.900
the Jews and the pro-Hamas side. It's got colorful signs. It's got, like, it's just, it should be
0.91
00:28:29.980
catnip for journalists. But because the pro-Hamas side is so viciously anti-Semitic in their language,
00:28:36.060
the regime media effectively censors, not to stop them, but to stop them from being revealed to the
00:28:43.680
larger country. I think if people saw how gross the pro-Hamas activists were, they'd be even less
00:28:50.060
than they are. Here's some flags that are of an interesting background. You can see the
00:28:57.320
lion in the sun. That's the flag for the free Iran. And you can see they have a picture
1.00
00:29:04.960
of the Shah. The idea would be to replace the extremist Ayatollahs with the historical
0.81
00:29:11.600
rulers of Iran. I support that, of course. And they support Israel for obvious reasons.
0.92
00:29:19.880
Behind me, you can see a police officer handing out foam earplugs
00:29:24.400
because the pro-Hamas activists have brought a very loud PA system.
00:29:31.400
The police are protecting their own ears from the PA system,
00:29:34.920
but the men, women, and children, babies in strollers who are going by,
00:29:41.080
now they're going into earl bales park which has the toronto holocaust memorial in it i wonder if
00:29:49.180
the cops think that's better i think it is better because at least you're not subjecting 50 000
00:29:55.460
jewish kids moms dads to being screamed out with anti-semitic invective this is a major test for
00:30:02.520
the police speaking of which look down there i see reinforcements coming my friends i think this is
00:30:09.080
the moment. I think police are going to push them away. I think we're about to see the kind of
00:30:14.500
policing we have not seen in three years. Let's take a look. Look what we got here. One, two, three,
00:30:31.020
four five six seven eight nine ten a dozen police on horseback and look at
00:30:37.740
these police doing a circle they're moving they're using the police cars as
00:30:42.120
a physical barricade I believe they're going to use the horses to gently push
00:30:48.480
back the Hamas supporters there's actually not that many of them if I had
00:30:54.960
to guess there's fewer than 10. Remember, that's not the main place of protest. These are the ones
00:31:01.880
who sneaked through the park to reposition here. And you can see they're flying the Khomeini flag,
00:31:09.440
the Ayatollah Khomeini flag, and the Palestine flag. So maybe there are two dozen of them after
00:31:16.080
all. I think they're about to be pushed back. That's my theory, is that after the political
00:31:23.420
pummeling that Myron Demke has taken for doing nothing, I think today he's going to maybe
00:31:27.860
do something. Here come the horses. Here come the horses. Here come the horses.
00:31:40.980
there's got to be a dozen horses there's got to be a hundred cops and I'm going to change
00:31:54.580
my earlier estimate and and guess that there's about 25 protesters there's another 30 cops on
00:32:02.320
These bikes deployed, they're gently walking the pro-Hamas protesters back.
00:32:35.360
There's now a barrier of horses between the protesters and the march.
00:33:13.500
I see Officer McDuff, who had me arrested last time I was doing journalism from here.
00:33:25.560
Have a couple of promos protesters just sitting down looks like the police are going to move them. I
0.59
00:33:49.500
I understand that the police intend to keep the pro-Hamas supporters at least 100, perhaps
00:34:22.720
If I had to guess how this is going to resolve, they're going to push them back 100 feet.
00:34:31.020
That's actually a Holocaust memorial here in Toronto.
00:34:35.080
It wouldn't surprise me if some of these pro-Hamas types do some vandalism while they're here.
00:34:42.080
they are being shooed away the horses in the end were not necessary maybe they
00:34:49.640
were just a dramatic effect the pro-terrorist supporters are indeed
00:34:54.380
retreating you can see the bike police there's a lot of police here because here
00:35:06.480
comes the march. They're being shooed away as the march arrives. And the horses
00:35:19.360
are pushing them away from the road. The horses are deploying over there. Very
00:35:26.340
interesting. A very different approach to policing than what we've seen over the
00:35:32.220
last three years where the Hamas and pro-Iran activists have been treated with concierge
00:35:39.620
service. There's Officer McDuff right there who had me arrested when I was doing journalism a
00:35:45.480
year ago. I'm actually suing him in the Toronto Police Force for false arrest. It looks like
00:35:50.680
they're not arresting the Jews today. I don't know if they're arresting any of the Hamas supporters,
00:35:55.060
but they're moving them away, which I think is good policing. I'm going to get back on the sidewalk
0.99
00:36:01.460
and and walk further that way you have one clown remaining over here
0.96
00:36:33.380
Very intense, very different kind of policing than what we've seen.
00:36:38.520
You can see that the front of the Walk with Israel march is now this far north on Bathurst.
00:36:49.540
On the other side, it looks like it's the vehicle lane.
00:36:54.660
Yeah, that's Naveed, the guy with the pedophile brothers.
0.70
00:37:19.540
there's a small group of there's a Jewish cult called the natural I
00:37:32.920
Carter who don't believe in the state of Israel they're an extreme minority
00:37:37.420
much less than 1% of the Jews but because they're against Israel and they're
00:37:41.500
very poor Iran pays them to attend protests to confuse why would Jews
1.00
00:37:48.720
support Palestine what's your name fuck out of my face what's your name what's
1.00
00:38:01.560
your name I'm Ezra Levant what why are you afraid to identify yourself are you
1.00
00:38:04.920
ashamed of what you're doing no I'm right here you can do it like a Google
00:38:08.760
face search here you go you're ashamed of yourself you won't even say your name
00:38:11.940
I'm not I don't have to say my name who are you a cop no I'm a journalist with
00:38:16.440
what? You guys don't have any accreditation. Are you a Canadian or are you a foreigner?
00:38:21.360
What are you? I'm a Canadian, fourth generation. Well, good for you.
00:38:24.900
If you're not a Canadian. Baby killers. The baby killer parade is on full force here.
1.00
00:38:33.820
Where are you from originally? Where are you from originally?
00:38:40.260
You're a bit of a coward. You talk so tough when you're shouting at women and children,
1.00
00:38:50.620
You're shouting swears of women and children.
1.00
00:39:01.980
I'm not a baby killer, but you are a coward.
1.00
00:39:03.540
You support killing babies, so that's what a baby killer is.
1.00
00:39:07.440
I love what it says, Gisela McKay, Antifa Radical,
0.97
00:39:28.960
I think he's sort of cosplaying as a Palestinian activist.
00:39:34.660
Like I say, that's the Holocaust memorial, if I'm not mistaken.
00:39:39.520
and so it's sort of a weird place for the anti-Semites to gather.
00:39:48.600
Oh, I'm just going to stay with my cameraman for a minute.
00:40:05.500
We haven't abandoned you, we've been some friends.
00:40:45.520
Good. My name is, well, don't put my name on it, Lori Kingstone.
00:40:50.520
I met you years ago with my uncle and your, do you know that connection?
00:40:57.520
I was just going to ask you why you're here. We're doing a little video.
00:41:01.520
Part of the community, just joining my community to walk and show my Jewish-Israeli pride.
00:41:11.200
How do you feel about that and how the police are handling it?
00:41:19.940
It's probably hate speech, but I'm not a lawyer.
00:41:24.420
It's the first time I've seen police actually push them a bit aside.
00:41:36.100
they're like concierges to the Hamas people.
1.00
00:41:48.540
Traditionally, Jews have been for open immigration
00:41:52.740
Have the past three years changed your views on that subject?
00:42:03.380
Well, if you don't want to answer that, I think I know the answer.
00:42:15.380
My name is, well, don't put my name on it, Lori Kingstone.
00:42:19.380
I met you years ago with my uncle and your, do you know that connection?
00:42:31.920
Just joining my community to walk and show my Jewish-Israeli pride.
00:42:40.180
How do you feel about that and how the police are handling it?
00:42:48.940
It's probably hate speech, but I'm not a lawyer.
00:42:51.420
it's the first time I've seen police actually push them a bit aside I actually live in the
00:42:59.880
neighborhood and I've seen the police yeah this corner every week they they're like concierges
1.00
00:43:06.480
to the Hamas people walking along with them I'm not sure why they can continue but that's
1.00
00:43:11.760
for higher beings to figure out I'm not sure why I got one last question for you traditionally Jews
0.98
00:43:18.420
have been for open immigration or liberal immigration have the past three years changed
00:43:24.020
your views on that subject you said you would ask me easy questions all right well if you don't want
00:43:32.180
to answer that i think i know the answer i won't i won't imply anything great to talk with you
00:43:47.940
See, that guy there, I first met him outside a synagogue that had the windows smashed.
00:43:58.940
He's one of the 700 foreign nationals whose job is to whip up, to provoke.
1.00
00:44:11.300
I believe in freedom of speech, even uncomfortable freedom of speech, for Canadian citizens.
1.00
00:44:16.900
But when you have foreign nationals like that Iranian proxy, who are professional hate
1.00
00:44:22.380
organizers, whatever visa they're on, send them home.
1.00
00:44:26.440
Is he a student? Is he a refugee? Is he a temporary foreign worker?
00:44:30.480
Even if he is naturalized, denaturalize him.
1.00
00:44:34.720
How much did you get paid to be here today?
0.56
00:44:38.960
Please stop lying. Don't lie on TV. It's not good.
00:44:43.920
You've got to stop lying. How much were you paid to be here?
00:44:49.080
But you're a liar. You're a shunned for the goyim.
1.00
00:44:52.120
You're a disgrace to the Jewish people. You know that.
1.00
00:44:54.460
How much did you, how much did you, I believe in Hashem, I believe in God, and that is the goal of, but you're with Amalek here, you're with the Jewish, you're with the haters, you're a disgrace, you're a shunda for the goyim, and you're, you're, you're a paid crisis actor, you're a paid crisis actor, you're a disgrace, you're a disgrace, you know what, he's just gross.
0.97
00:45:24.460
Well here we are arriving at Bathurst and Shepherd the site of the weekly hate March
0.96
00:45:35.640
I see my friend David Menzies up ahead and Lincoln J. Let's say a quick hello David. How are you doing today?
00:45:42.220
Great to see you. Thanks for making the journey. Hi Lincoln. How's it gone so far for you?
00:45:46.840
I got something for your report. My my wife the beloved lady Menzoid was just two minutes ago
1.00
00:45:57.620
This sidewalk, Ezra, according to the cop,
1.00
00:46:00.080
it's been reserved for the Islamists, these reprobates,
0.97
00:46:05.020
these cultists from Israel that are, I guess,
1.00
00:46:08.820
supporting people who would like to kill them first.
0.92
00:46:11.640
And my wife, who's just minding her own business,
0.98
00:46:14.640
was said, get off the sidewalk or you're under arrest.
00:46:23.180
hey welcome back your letters to me they're about tim hortons um canadian karma says even
00:46:31.560
the food professor is getting on the multi-million dollar propaganda being spent by tim hortons he
00:46:36.460
is interviewing them this week tim's execs are monitoring comments about him well i like the
00:46:41.160
food professor um that's his nickname he's come on my show several times uh just because he's
00:46:46.660
talking to tim hortons doesn't mean he's propagating their propaganda i would talk to
00:46:50.680
Tim Hortons. In fact, I've tried to do so. They kicked me off their property. So I think it's,
00:46:55.300
uh, behooves us to wait to see how the food professor does. I think he's a pretty sharp
00:46:59.780
cookie and, um, I don't want to prejudge how he does. So let's let him do his stuff and then
00:47:05.580
we'll comment on it afterwards. Our next letter is from Ken Chung, who says they'll need to stop
00:47:10.900
posting jobs for temporary foreign workers first before becoming Canadian again, still around 80
00:47:16.440
plus positions available. Yeah, the number bounces up and down every day. And you might be wondering,
00:47:20.940
hey, as you first, you said it was 88 and then 93 and then 95 and then 90. Well, yeah, because those
00:47:27.380
jobs are being filled. So the number goes down. But then more Tim Hortons advertised for foreign
00:47:33.680
workers. So the number goes up. In other words, they are actively seeking and recruiting and
00:47:38.080
hiring foreigners every day. What a liar they are when they say they're hiring Canadians.
0.95
00:47:44.180
s willis who said i'm saying that wrong probably tim hortons has been making awful tasting coffee
0.96
00:47:51.440
for years even when it was canadian i didn't buy from them well you know i don't think i've had
00:47:55.980
tim hortons coffee in 11 years i switched when they bad mouth the alberto oil sands i thought
00:48:01.420
you know what i'll get my coffee at mcdonald's too and i'm so glad i discovered mcdonald's coffee i
00:48:05.880
got to say maybe it's just i've grown accustomed to it but i think they have great coffee uh i
00:48:11.500
Frankly, I prefer it to Starbucks and certainly prefer it to Tim Hortons.
00:48:17.460
But if you've never tried McDonald's, I had never tried it in my life
00:48:20.580
until I decided to boycott Tim Hortons, and I'm glad I did.
00:48:25.660
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
