Rebel News Live, Saturday, June 14th at the Red Deer Curling Centre. Spend the day with Ezra
00:00:11.100
Levant, me, Sheila Gunn-Reed, and a powerhouse lineup of freedom fighters, political thinkers,
00:00:16.900
and grassroots leaders. We're talking energy, free speech, and especially independence,
00:00:22.060
and how the West can finally stop getting screwed. This isn't just a conference,
00:00:26.640
it's a rallying cry. Tickets are going fast. Get yours now at donegettingscrewed.com. Stand up,
00:00:34.280
speak out, be there. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. You have tuned into the Rebel News
00:00:39.600
live stream on this, a Monday, June 2nd, 2025. I'm David Menzies, and my co-host, well, let me tell
00:00:47.420
you a bit about my co-host, shall I? Folks, do you know that today is National Leave Work Early Day?
00:00:54.980
Today, my co-host does not celebrate this day because, well, she's not employed by the federal
00:01:00.800
government. She is the she-devil with a Nordique sweater. She is the Khaleesi of Quebec. She is the
00:01:07.720
lovely Alexa Lavoie. Hey, how you doing there, Alexa?
00:01:15.540
No, at Rebel News, we are working really, really, really hard, so we never leave early.
00:01:26.620
Yeah, as do we all. I mean, you know, imagine that, leaving early. I can't remember the last
00:01:31.960
time I left early. Actually, I do. It was to get on a transatlantic flight to cover something
00:01:38.200
on the other side of the world, so it's just amazing the dichotomy between, you know, the federal
00:01:46.600
civil service, which under Trudeau grew exponentially, and the real world, which ain't growing all that
00:01:55.880
much. In fact, ominous signs were heading for a recession, but I digress. So, Alexa, what is it that
00:02:01.660
we're hoping to do here in this next hour? We will touch a little bit of everything that is in the
00:02:09.520
news right now. I want to apologize right now because I'm in the cafe, so I am the substitute
00:02:15.680
today, and I was not supposed. So, if it's a little bit noisy, I apologize in advance. But we are here to
00:02:24.420
speak about multiple topics, and if you want to send us a super chat, please feel free to send us
00:02:30.580
questions. Same if it's just like a small comment through YouTube or Rumble. That helps us to keep
00:02:38.100
the light on at Rebel News and to continue to inform you on the other side of the story. So,
00:02:43.900
yeah. So, today we'll be speaking about, I think we have a pretty packed schedule to speak about.
00:02:53.540
Fantastic. And I'm glad you explained that was a cafe. I thought you just dropped 80 grand on home
00:02:58.260
renovations there, but some of us are doing well. Well, you know, Alexa, we talked about how the
00:03:05.860
Federal Civil Service is growing, but you know what else is growing? The number of immigrants to Canada,
00:03:12.420
despite promises to the contrary. Now, I remember when the Conservatives under Pierre Pauliev last year
00:03:18.780
raised this, they were labeled as racist. And then the likes of Sean Fraser went, yeah, you know what?
00:03:25.480
Maybe there are too many people coming into our dominion, but Alexa, look at this. In the first
00:03:32.540
quarter of this year, more than 800,000 immigrants coming into Canada. I thought the government was
00:03:42.360
going to do something to nip this in the bud. And we should point out, Alexa, here's the big issue,
00:03:49.060
at least as far as I'm concerned. And I speak to people in the communities where these immigrants
00:03:54.940
are coming from, like our Indian source, Tim Smith. These are not doctors and engineers and lawyers.
00:04:05.220
These are low-skill, minimum wage people that are typically being hired in the service sector,
00:04:14.120
particularly food service. And the end result is a downward pressure on wages, A, and B,
00:04:23.980
the likes of students who want to get a part-time job or a summer job get into the labor market.
00:04:30.320
They can't. I came across one student last week. She put out 60 resumes, 60, zero replies.
00:04:39.240
Alexa, how do you make sense of this madness? I do not see any upside for us. Or is this all part of
00:04:48.280
the agenda of by the end of the century, which is less than 75 years away, making Canada's population
00:04:58.800
But this is what the liberals want. And don't forget about Mark Wiseman that actually want Canada to
00:05:08.620
reach 100 million by 2050, I think. No, 2,100. No, 2,100. Sorry. But this is a thing. We are receiving a lot of
00:05:21.520
immigrants. And right now, what I'm able to see on Reddit, it's a lot of people, young age,
00:05:31.440
starting their life and trying to get a job during the summer, and they can't, they cannot find any
00:05:38.100
job. And it's something that I see all the time. And so this is reality. Most of the students can't
00:05:46.100
find a job if it's during the summer. And even if it's just part time during that they are studying
00:05:52.980
because life costs a lot. And a lot of people have a really hard time to afford their apartment,
00:06:00.580
especially in Montreal. And, and listen to that. Montreal and Quebec right now is the, I think,
00:06:07.780
the cheapest place where you can actually still rent apartment. So I cannot imagine the rest of the
00:06:15.480
country. And then you have incidents, Alexa, and this has been reported in Brampton, a basement
00:06:23.060
being rented by maybe 12, 15, 20 people. I can't imagine that's very fun. But, you know, I think
00:06:31.520
you're onto something about the unspoken strategy, I think, of the federal government of flooding our
00:06:38.960
country with newcomers. And I think it's simply this, wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Every four years,
00:06:45.300
what we ask in return for letting you into the country and pursuing the Canadian promise is that
00:06:51.780
you vote team red. It's exactly the same as what Biden did as the, as the president for the last
00:06:59.680
four years in America, allowing anywhere between 12 to 20 million illegals in from the southern border
00:07:06.740
of the U.S. into the United States. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. You're here. You're not going to be
00:07:12.520
deported, pursue the American dream, and every four years vote for team blue. I think it is a
00:07:21.220
purposeful attempt in terms of both the Democrats in the U.S. and the liberals in Canada to change the
00:07:28.720
demographics so that they are in power essentially for life. I see two sides of the story here, and I
00:07:37.780
will explain. First of all, there is a difference in between immigrants that are arriving here in an
00:07:45.120
illegal way or by refugees or other way, and there is the legal one. And there is a lot of legal immigrants
00:07:53.660
who are voting conservative. And I would say also in immigrants, most of the time is when they just
00:08:02.220
arrive in Canada, they will continue to vote for liberals. But the second generation, sometimes
00:08:07.080
they can vote liberal, but sometimes they can vote also conservative. What I see on this,
00:08:12.700
I'm seeing the agenda, the sustainable goal, who are specifying that we should do equity and diversity
00:08:24.440
and inclusion. And what I'm seeing right now, they want to make sure that the wealth is at the same
00:08:35.300
level across the planet. And we are seeing more and more immigrants coming to the rich country.
00:08:43.120
So, and more and more poor countries are now getting richer because we are sending overseas a lot of
00:08:49.240
money to those countries. So, we are just doing homogenesis. I have a hard time with this word.
00:08:58.460
Maybe you can help me. Homogenesis, like putting everybody in the same level of wealth across the
00:09:06.980
planet. This is something that I'm seeing, but also I'm seeing also a demographic change. And of course,
00:09:13.720
a big majority of them will always be loyal to the people who let them here.
00:09:21.060
And, you know, Alexa, two points on this as well, to finish this segment. One is, it's the distribution
00:09:28.240
of all these hundreds of thousands of immigrants. We are the second biggest country in the world.
00:09:35.700
We have a huge landmass. I think it's something like more than 80% of the Canadian population
00:09:41.260
lives within 100 miles of the U.S. border. So, Canada is really this long, you know, kind of a
00:09:48.520
snake of a country. I don't mean that in terms of what snakes stand for. I mean, it's like a strip of
00:09:57.020
people along the southern border. But we know that the lion's share of these immigrants, they're going
00:10:03.440
to three places, aren't they? Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, which are already in many respects
00:10:10.560
bursting at the seams in terms of, you know, whether it's social services, whether it's commuting,
00:10:18.100
whether it's house prices. So, I mean, if you want to, you know, not that I agree with this,
00:10:24.860
but if you want to get to some kind of population target, why are people being allowed to go to cities
00:10:31.940
that are already in certain respects overpopulated? I mean, you, I don't know about Montreal, Alexa,
00:10:37.980
to drive eight kilometers in Toronto, you're looking at maybe an hour of commuting. The traffic
00:10:45.460
does not move here. So, that's one thing. And secondly, if there's anybody watching going, well,
00:10:51.720
it's easy for you, for you two, Lily White, born in Canada, Canadians to say this, you're racist. No,
00:10:58.940
I mentioned our, my Indian source, Tim Smith. He was originally born in India. And people in those
00:11:05.000
communities that have legally immigrated to Canada, and brought with them a skill set,
00:11:11.780
they are not happy with this either, whether we're talking Canada or the US, because they see
00:11:19.040
their way of, their way of life, rather, degradating, thanks to this influx of people who I said before,
00:11:28.640
low wage, low skills. What are your thoughts, Alexa?
00:11:42.520
legally. Most of them, they are against what is going on. They are against and they are denouncing it,
00:11:54.120
And the only problem is like, now we are receiving them. We do not have the capacity to receive them. And right now we are just creating chaos in our street. We saw the crime rate is just increasing. The food bank is just collapsing. Our services is collapsing too. So at one point, what will happen in those big cities? Because right now, I don't feel even safe.
00:12:24.100
In Montreal anymore, 100% as far as I'm concerned, the only possible excuse for the Mark Carney liberals is, hey, listen, Parliament hasn't sat for about five months. Okay, I'll give you that. Now that you are back to work, do something about this, put the brakes on. That's what you said.
00:12:45.100
During the election campaign, you had made agreement that complaining about mass immigration is not racist. It is an actual matter of fact. So the burden for them before they break for the summer, Alexa, is to put the brakes on this as far as I'm concerned.
00:13:01.180
And by the way, did you see Melanie Jolie was mentioning, oh, we grow our GDP by 2.2%, but you let in 800,000 newcomers. So that means that our growth low down from about 1.5% per capita per person.
00:13:29.720
Oh, I'd like to see the analysis behind that. You know, when it comes to Melanie Jolie, no wonder Prime Minister Carney did the shoe, shoe girl the other day. I mean, if she's spouting nonsense like that, no one's got time for that, right?
00:13:44.400
But going stateside, Alexa, a horrible event on the weekend in Boulder, Colorado, there was a pro-Israel rally. Maybe I shouldn't even say it was pro-Israel.
00:13:58.840
It was people saying free the hostages. I mean, this is not a politicized thing. These are people that are still captive by Hamas, still over 50, I believe.
00:14:11.820
I also believe more than half of those hostages are dead, according to intelligence reports.
00:14:17.460
And lo and behold, there was some kind of attack involving fire. I've read Molotov cocktails flown. I've read some kind of a homemade flamethrower. Wonder how you do that.
00:14:32.400
But a couple of points. We see something here from Disclosed TV. The Boulder police chief saying, quote, we're not calling it a terror attack at this point. That would be a responsible way too early to speculate motive. Really? Really? I mean, let's do we have a clip of that, guys?
00:15:01.400
FBI is already calling it a targeted terror attack. Would you also refer to it as a terror attack?
00:15:07.040
So I've been in contact with our local FBI multiple times. We are in contact with them here. We are not calling it a terror attack at this point. Again, it's way too early to speculate motive.
00:15:16.980
You know, I know there's a lot out there on social media, but I ask people just to give us a little bit of patience while we work through a really complex scene.
00:15:23.220
A lot of witnesses were here. We've taken them to another location to debrief them and interview them. As we do that, I think the picture will become more clear.
00:15:31.940
But it would be it would be irresponsible for me to to speculate on motive this early on. We're only a couple hours into this thing.
00:15:39.880
Yeah, sure. It could have been the Santa Claus parade or the St. Patrick's Day parade.
00:15:44.320
The guy would have been similarly motivated to severely burn, I believe, at least five attendees.
00:15:52.680
Alexa, I think this is the problem with political correctness, now rebranded as wokeness, that you cannot speak the truth anymore if the truth means that some people are going to suffer from hurt feelings.
00:16:09.640
That's not freedom of speech. That's censorship.
00:16:12.140
But I think at this moment, political correctness, I think it's it's the time to put that aside and call the things that it is and what we witness since more than a year and a half.
00:16:30.420
And the increase. I don't know if you saw, but the RCMP have issued a warning of 488 percent increase in terrorism related charges here in Canada since a year.
00:16:45.600
So if we are not starting calling it as what it is, we will face a wall sooner than we think.
00:16:56.260
Yes. And I should point out, I don't have a surname, but the the attacker, the suspect who's been arrested, his first name is Mohammed.
00:17:03.540
And he allegedly yelled, and he allegedly yelled, free, free Palestine.
00:17:08.160
I don't know, Alexa, sounds a little terroristy to me. What about you?
00:17:12.920
But I would say that what do you need more for going forwards and saying it is or is it not a terrorist attack?
00:17:22.220
That was literally the definition of a terrorist act.
00:17:31.180
And afterwards, you are attacking someone with I think it was Molotov cocktail.
00:17:35.900
So what do you need more as a proof? Literally.
00:17:41.100
And to bring it into context in terms of it being a Canadian story, I was very, you know, perversely amused, I guess is the word, when I saw the Toronto Police issue a statement, quote,
00:17:56.160
we are aware of the attack in Boulder, Colorado, and are monitoring the situation closely.
00:18:01.920
Oh, really? I say this, Alexa, because just a week ago Sunday, Ezra and I and other members of the team were out covering the walk with Israel.
00:18:16.600
And I don't know if we have footage of this, but I came up to one of the pro Hamas demonstrators who was blocked off by a wall of police.
00:18:25.340
And he had what I pray is a replica hand grenade.
00:18:34.200
Anyways, I said to the police officers who were like an arm's length away from this man.
00:18:43.980
Aren't you going to check that to see if it's real?
00:18:46.240
Remember, this is right in front of thousands and thousands of pro-Israel marchers walking by.
00:18:53.700
If, God forbid, that was a real grenade, Alexa, there could have been incredible carnage.
00:19:04.840
And yet the police didn't seem to give a rodent's rectum.
00:19:14.520
In fact, the police that day outnumbered the people I like to call the Hamasos.
00:19:23.300
I'm telling you, Alexa, if you tried to get on an airplane at Pearson or at your airport, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, with that, even if it's a toy, you aren't getting on your flight.
00:19:36.660
In fact, you might be pushing the envelope whether you're going to get arrested.
00:19:43.900
So what are the police saying when they say we're aware of the situation and monitoring closely?
00:19:50.100
When you saw a potential situation right in front of your eyes, you did nothing.
00:19:58.800
That's what's driving law enforcement in Canada these days?
00:20:01.880
But you saw, like, just here in Montreal, those protesters have the bomb belt, like the smoke bomb belt, and they are walking into the street.
00:20:14.640
We don't know if it's smoke bomb or something else, but they are just walking with it, and nobody asks them to remove it.
00:20:21.140
Same if smoke bomb in public is not supposed to be legal, but it seems like, hey, one law for thee, one law for me.
00:20:30.840
And, by the way, Donald Trump did react to it on his Truth Social.
00:20:37.020
He wrote that this attack would not be tolerated in the United States of America.
00:20:45.940
And he said that, of course, he called out Biden's ridiculous open border policy, and that he said he must go out under Trump policy.
00:20:56.680
So, act of terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
00:21:03.560
This is yet another example of why we must keep our borders secure.
00:21:10.140
And, by the way, they were warning that Canada will be a threat to the United States just because of what we are seeing right now,
00:21:19.660
and our authorities are not doing anything for stopping it.
00:21:22.920
So, I'm pretty sure that soon they will do something to stop and to check every single person crossing into the U.S.,
00:21:33.980
And, you know, Alexa, as you were speaking, our team put up Donald Trump's tweet, or, I mean, his True Social posting,
00:21:43.460
And, evidently, he is an illegal that came in through Joe Biden's open doors policy at the border.
00:21:51.340
Feel like Ottawa's got its boot on Alberta's neck?
00:21:56.300
Join us for Rebel News Live, Saturday, June 14th, at the Red Deer Curling Centre.
00:22:01.400
Spend the day with Ezra Levant, me, Sheila Gunn-Reed,
00:22:04.600
and a powerhouse lineup of freedom fighters, political thinkers, and grassroots leaders.
00:22:09.520
We're talking energy, free speech, and especially independence,
00:22:13.300
and how the West can finally stop getting screwed.
00:22:30.660
when he's arrested, detained, and maybe even sent back to God knows where he came from,
00:22:36.460
do you think some Democrats are going to fly over and give him comfort and stand in solidarity
00:22:47.760
That is to say, if he isn't incarcerated in the U.S.
00:22:56.880
It goes to what we were speaking in the first block,
00:23:00.040
that when you have an irresponsible immigration system,
00:23:07.920
In fact, Alexa, if I was running a terrorist organization,
00:23:13.000
I think it would be irresponsible of me not to have agents go in,
00:23:19.060
because if they're being treated with kid gloves as opposed to being stopped at the border,
00:23:24.000
why wouldn't you take advantage of that incredible lapse of security?
00:23:31.040
I'm actually flabbergasted when we are seeing what is going on,
00:23:35.440
and the multiple terrorists who have been arrested so far,
00:23:42.700
and seeing what happened in multiple places in Canada,
00:23:47.180
and seeing that the Jewish community are living in fear,
00:23:51.700
and seeing the Israeli government issuing a level 2 safety warning
00:23:55.980
for the people traveling or living in Canada who are Israeli and Jewish
00:24:09.700
Because it's something that I do not understand right now.
00:24:15.480
And we know from the stats that the Toronto police itself released
00:24:19.940
Jews in Toronto comprise less than 4% of the population,
00:24:25.740
but they are targets of more than 40% of the hate crimes.
00:24:34.680
And when you have police, and it happens in Montreal,
00:24:38.720
when you see them turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to chants for genocide,
00:24:44.000
which is contrary to Section 319 of the Criminal Code,
00:24:47.400
when you see them turning a blind eye to people displaying swastikas,
00:24:53.060
dressing up as Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind of October 7th, 2023,
00:25:06.580
And I say, Alexa, if we crack down on this on day one, some 20 months ago,
00:25:16.740
In Toronto, the cops deliver the Hamasos coffee and Timbits on cold days.
00:25:26.100
And by the way, imagine for a moment that the situation is reversed.
00:25:33.500
Would you see the public outrage and all the media covering that
00:25:37.300
and all the politicians are getting crazy about it?
00:25:45.320
I wonder if somebody will ever put it to the test.
00:25:47.900
I would advise no, because I think I know how that story ends.
00:25:51.360
If a couple of people showed up to a mosque for a peaceful demonstration,
00:25:55.880
you are going to be taken down in a New York second.
00:26:00.260
And I am comparing apples with apples, because in the GTA,
00:26:05.320
we have seen the pro-Hamas people target Jewish synagogues
00:26:09.720
with all kinds of horrible and hateful rhetoric.
00:26:20.160
But I'll tell you, you do that in front of a mosque,
00:26:24.100
you're going to be in the cooler in no time at all.
00:26:27.720
Again, the double standard and the selective law enforcement
00:26:31.940
in our dominion right now on this issue, Alexa.
00:26:35.340
And there is also, like, the fact that you do not do a protest
00:27:08.040
I mean, the Toronto police, they all got together recently.
00:27:23.480
You got the triangle, you got the little purple flirple.
00:27:27.520
I think that's for intersex, whatever that means.
00:27:31.140
By the way, I want to talk about that so-called pride progress flag.
00:27:42.300
And given that Bill Blair was a chief once upon a time,
00:27:55.020
and that is supposedly to include brown people and black people.
00:28:02.100
Oh, goodness gracious, Sergeant Rob Chevalier is there.
00:28:06.120
He calls his niece a nibbling because he's unsure if his niece is male or female.
00:28:19.180
is I thought that flag was all about sexual orientation and gender identification.
00:28:29.180
And why are they obsessed about two groups on the racial spectrum,
00:28:46.600
And now we are just putting like a melting pot of everything in one flag.
00:28:51.860
So at the end of the day, it's just because they want to get more and more and more people,
00:28:58.040
like more and more inclusive for having more and more people to stand up for them.
00:29:05.280
Because at the end of the day, why would you do that?
00:29:08.220
Because LGB was actually for sexual preference.
00:29:15.400
I grew up in those communities and everything was going well.
00:29:20.060
And everybody like was able to live a normal life with everybody.
00:29:25.440
And I didn't see that much hate when I was young.
00:29:28.240
And now we are seeing that more and more people are intolerant,
00:29:40.060
And instead of reflecting on why are we seeing this,
00:29:46.460
instead of like questioning maybe what are you doing right now to create this phenomenon,
00:29:53.320
for them, it's not them the problem, it's the others.
00:29:57.120
Well, you know, Alexa, my issue is this seeming obsession with this tiny splinter group of society.
00:30:07.140
By that, I mean, Pride used to be Pride Day, June 1st.
00:30:16.320
Then coincidentally, the summertime, because you know what, when you go naked illegally,
00:30:21.500
not good in January or February, shrinkage and all, you know what I'm saying?
00:30:26.620
But anyways, the point is, I would like to see this kind of obsession
00:30:31.700
with celebrating a certain community in November, i.e. the veterans and the war dead.
00:30:38.560
We spend, you know, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we have a celebration,
00:30:48.140
But this, you know, it's almost like a fetish of every day, every week, every month,
00:30:56.120
at least in the summertime, has to do with Pride.
00:31:06.500
Because they are bringing the poppy play in this.
00:31:11.460
So if it's not fetish at one point, when you get into that flag, the poppy play, why?
00:31:23.540
I wouldn't be surprised if certain cities in Toronto, if you put a vote to people,
00:31:29.300
hey, do you want to make the Canadian flag embrace the Pride colors?
00:31:34.200
Have that rainbow Canadian flag all year round?
00:31:44.260
And by the way, getting back to two-tier policing and selective law enforcement,
00:31:55.600
We often bump into her during these demonstrations because, you know, the, well, the mainstream media,
00:32:02.720
they'd rather not get their hands dirty with this sort of stuff.
00:32:08.840
But let's see what Karima discovered regarding a, well, a tug-of-war over an Israeli flag at the corner of Yonge and Dundas.
00:33:16.340
I see at least three crimes there, assault, theft, vandalism.
00:33:21.620
And yet you're telling me there were no police officers at the busiest intersection in Toronto,
00:33:30.700
Now imagine, because I can tell you this, when you go to these pro-Hamas demonstrations,
00:33:36.020
seeing a Canadian flag on display is like sighting a unicorn.
00:33:42.880
I tell you, Alexa, if anyone did that to a Palestinian flag,
00:33:53.740
Again, can you explain what the police are thinking,
00:33:59.060
what the agenda is in this despicable two-tier law enforcement?
00:34:03.160
But first of all, you know that it seems that in Canada, Islam have a really,
00:34:16.700
they are protected more than every other faith in Canada.
00:34:22.180
But first of all, because they don't want to be labeled as racist,
00:34:28.500
And now we are seeing them, that we cannot criticize them,
00:34:35.540
we cannot do anything against or criticizing or anything.
00:34:53.000
And again, I wonder how many of these people at these pro-Hamas rallies
00:35:00.120
I know last month I did a story of a guy getting sanctuary at a Toronto mosque.
00:35:35.760
I mean, isn't your case disqualified right there?
01:12:20.840
and about an equal amount to the federal government
01:12:27.920
oil is by far the most valuable export for Canada
01:12:32.340
any of the projects that you have that you will see on the ultimate list
01:12:35.600
I will tell you that a bitumen pipeline will be by far the greatest benefit to all of Canada
01:12:41.540
that's why we're going to continue to push for it because it's just it's a good project
01:12:45.700
there's nine trillion dollars worth of value in discoverable and achievable reserves right now
01:12:51.180
and so why would you leave that in the ground no other country in the world would
