00:00:00.000
Tonight, Quebec just voted for 20% less immigration.
00:00:08.380
It's October 3rd, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:17.000
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:20.840
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:24.540
You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.
00:00:27.540
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it
00:00:38.040
We showed you yesterday how the Coalition Avenir Quebec,
00:00:46.940
pushing the Liberals down to their lowest result in that province ever.
00:00:50.880
And we showed you how Francois Legault, the CAC's party leader,
00:00:54.400
wasn't shy about calling for a modest reduction in immigration.
00:00:58.240
I call it modest because it's down from about 50,000 to 40,000 souls a year.
00:01:09.380
And by the way, how do you even do that when Justin Trudeau controls the border?
00:01:14.340
That's just 50,000 down to 40,000 in official immigrants.
00:01:19.460
But when someone walks across the border from New York State into Quebec,
00:01:23.020
as you can see here, and the RCMP are nice enough to carry their bags for them
00:01:26.980
and give them some snacks, and after they fill out a few forms,
00:01:30.400
and, you know, they're coached on exactly what to say.
00:01:34.060
I swear I'm fleeing the dangerous land called New York.
00:01:38.200
And they give a pinky swear that for sure they'll, of course,
00:01:42.600
show up for their refugee hearing three years from now.
00:01:46.500
They're just allowed to go into Canada, not to turn back.
00:02:00.100
It's lawful for them to go anywhere once they walk in
00:02:05.520
And even if they lose that hearing, even if they actually show up,
00:02:16.860
these fakers, they're pretty much here for good.
00:02:21.460
They don't have drawbridges or gates at their borders.
00:02:24.320
It's called Roxham Road, that place you saw there.
00:02:27.760
And the federal RCMP have actually set up that welcome center.
00:02:34.180
And other migrants, if they're in Toronto already,
00:02:38.880
and drive to Quebec if they want to get on a bus.
00:02:41.500
We don't have checkpoints between provinces in Canada.
00:02:44.060
You can travel from province to province freely.
00:02:47.740
Not that most migrants would go from Ontario to Quebec.
00:03:01.740
But pretty much everyone wants to go to Toronto.
00:03:15.660
They think 40,000 migrants a year is just peachy.
00:03:34.060
because, of course, you and what army would stop them?
00:03:39.100
They don't have the power to arrest and deport.
00:03:41.180
They don't have roadblocks or fences of their own.
00:03:47.580
The best they can do is to say what Legault said.
00:04:14.800
He wants to start looking for a job in three years.
00:04:24.300
because at least he is talking about these things,
00:04:26.980
and no other politicians in the rest of the country,
00:04:33.620
Ontario struggling to pay for irregular migrants,
00:04:47.460
and the phrase irregular migrants is not in quotation marks.
00:04:53.640
Because sure, these people walking across the border,
00:04:57.500
just in the same way as someone who, I don't know,
00:05:05.980
Yeah, it is irregular to steal something and not pay for it.
00:05:34.600
You see the word illegal right under the word stop.
00:05:55.680
but it doesn't mean the rest of us have to abide it too
00:05:58.940
We don't have to use fake language, a euphemism.
00:06:09.120
A bank robber is not making an irregular withdrawal from a bank.
00:06:15.840
which is the main purpose of the media these days
00:06:17.980
when it comes to any controversy, don't you think?
00:06:29.220
as if this Ontario cabinet minister is the weird one
00:06:34.700
Well, anyways, put aside that terminological inexactitude.
00:06:41.320
Let me read a bit of the actual story to you, okay?
00:06:44.720
The Ontario government says costs to social services
00:07:02.200
We are asking the federal government to come to the table.
00:07:17.300
Now, you don't really have food banks in Syria.
00:07:36.120
I'm sure if we had shoe banks and jacket banks,
00:07:41.880
That's how you roll in a low-trust society like Syria.
00:07:55.740
The entire world, though, knows that we are suckers now.
00:07:59.920
So we're actually a magnet for the worst people in the world
00:08:01.800
since you know you have to break the law to come here.
00:08:05.920
You have to see that sign that says stop and go.
00:08:09.200
So we are attracting, by definition, lawbreakers.
00:08:13.500
Now, Sheila documented some of this insanity recently
00:08:43.780
But Lisa McLeod is talking about the provincial costs.
00:08:46.580
Let me quote from the story I showed you a moment earlier.
00:08:50.820
before the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration
00:08:55.280
the cost of maintaining Toronto's shelter system alone.
00:08:59.640
for the increased demand on homeless shelters in Ottawa,
00:09:04.580
lent to the province by the Canadian Red Cross,
00:09:16.460
to alleviate the pressure on the city's temporary housing.
00:09:18.640
Part of the money would be used to rent hotel rooms
00:09:29.660
would only stay in hotels until September 30th.
00:09:41.080
or would engage in that kind of self-deception?
00:09:57.800
But that's exactly what's happened to these hotels.
00:10:25.060
who make the mistake of booking a vacation there.
00:10:35.260
They're not really good advisors anymore, are they?
00:11:00.340
This is the second consecutive month of increases
00:11:04.500
So if we're bringing in 1,747 new illegal migrants
00:11:27.740
over lack of access to Quebec subsidized daycare.
00:11:30.780
So to be clear, taxpayers in Quebec pay for daycare
00:11:36.620
as you would expect, from any government service.
00:11:38.680
It's a bad idea, anyways, to have government daycare.
00:11:44.340
they are now suing to get to the front of the line,
00:12:05.880
It's the closest thing I can see to a solution.
00:12:11.180
Syria tells Lebanon it wants refugees to return.
00:12:15.920
Syria has told Lebanon it wants refugees to return
00:12:28.420
not the vast tract they did when Obama was president.
00:13:48.700
It would be cheaper than what they're doing here.
00:13:58.480
On Wednesday, 335 civilians had returned from abroad.
00:14:01.780
The ministry said, of them, 293 cross from Lebanon
00:14:10.280
You know, if you want to help migrants, help them.
00:14:15.340
Putting them in squalid Toronto hotels at 150 bucks a night,
00:14:20.080
giving them 50 grand cash, that's not actually helping them.
00:14:23.500
It's being politically corrected and building up liberal vote banks.
00:14:30.000
or Canadians in line for hospitals and daycare seats.
00:14:45.220
this government, but the next federal government,
00:14:46.780
and probably the one after that will inherit too.
00:15:16.700
Well, one of the reasons why parents are so sensitive
00:15:36.560
because they have our children for hours a day.
00:15:41.340
And the fears in Alberta are always proved to be true
00:16:11.300
that tells the story from a socialist point of view.
00:16:48.400
of the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms,
00:16:56.620
John, it took a minute to talk about Mouse Land
00:17:04.280
that she's reading little propaganda screeds to kids.
