Ezra Levant critiques the Trudeau government’s A Roadmap for Transformative Change report, calling its reparations push a "bank heist" and dismissing claims Canada never had slavery—highlighting British abolition in 1772 and Canada’s role as a refuge via the Underground Railway. He contrasts Canada’s history with Britain’s active anti-slavery efforts, including the 1807 Slave Trade Act and the Royal Navy’s liberation of 150,000 Africans. Meanwhile, Levant condemns Montreal’s Antifa as a violent leftist gang, citing Alexa Lavoie’s assault (latex paint, pepper spray) while police ignored her pleas, exposing a double standard in official responses. The episode underscores systemic failures in accountability and questions whether Canada’s racial justice policies reflect genuine reconciliation or performative division.

You won't believe what happened on Friday afternoon when you were getting ready for the long weekend.
Justin Trudeau dropped his new justice proposal for black justice, as in racial justice.
And you're not going to believe me, but he talks about reparations, paying black reparations in Canada.
We never had slavery in Canada.
Just astonishing.
I'll take you through it.
I want you to get the video version of this show because I want you to see some of the kooky tweets that one of the authors of this report published.
It's just, you're going to be shocked, but not surprised if you take my meaning.

I want to show you, not just tell you, who's behind this black reparations project.
All right.
That's it, RebelNewsPlus.com.
of today's show.
Tonight, I bet you missed it.
On the Friday afternoon before the long weekend, Trudeau announced he's going to bring in reparations for black people in Canada.
It's July 2nd, and this is the Ezra Levant show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
Long weekends are great, especially in the summer.
People are often mentally checked out by Friday afternoon, anyways.
We were pretty busy here at Rebel News working on salvaging the Tommy Robinson speaking tour, but I think normal Canadians were just taking a bit of a relaxing break.
And Ottawa journalists, well, they would have gone home even earlier because really there's not a single MP or cabinet minister in Ottawa, which is exactly what the government was counting on when they released an astonishing report on Friday afternoon.
It's this one.
It's published by the Department of Justice.
So that's Minister Arif Varani, the Hamas supporter, justice minister.
The report is called A Roadmap for Transformative Change, Canada's Black Justice Strategy.
Black Justice?
I think Canada should be more interested in colorblind justice, don't you?
I mean, the image, the personification of justice is the statue of lady justice.
And the whole thing about the statue is she's wearing a blindfold.
She's not looking to see who the parties in any dispute are.
She follows the law no matter who's suing whom.
No fear, no favor.
Colorblind.
But the Justice Department now is calling for black justice.
It's written by a quasi Owusu Bempa, who is a professor, and Zilla Jones, who I think is a writer.
I couldn't find Owusu Bempa's social media, or maybe he's too smart to make it publicly available.
But here's a taste of Zilla Jones.
I'll just read a handful of them just so you know who's making our black justice strategy in Canada.
Here's one.
I don't want the queen to apologize for the British royalty's involvement in African slavery.
I want her to resign and return the wealth.
Decolonize.
It doesn't sound like she's much of a historian.
Of course, the British Empire did more than any other empire or country in history to end slavery.
Not only did they criminalize slavery, they dispatched the Royal Navy to seize any slave boats.
For 50 years, the West Africa Squadron stopped, well, over 100,000 slaves, freed over 100,000 slaves, captured 1,500 boats.
She doesn't know her history.
I think she might be a little bit racist.
She calls people racist pretty much full time, by the way, especially conservatives.
Here's another tweet.
Jason Kenney, one of the biggest racists in Canada, is resigning.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I have my differences with Jason Kenney, but calling him racist is astonishing and false.
I mean, she hates anyone who's conservative.
Of course she does.
Never vote conservative.
Do you want someone like that writing a nonpartisan justice strategy?
Like I say, she's extremely partisan.
Here she is saying, sad to see you and Polyev both being the same kind of a-hole.
Like I say, super partisan.
Here's a little bit more from her.
She says, yeah, Polyev is actually worse and more dangerous.
This is, I'm just, there's hundreds of these comments.
Obviously, she hates rebel news, and she thinks that any visible minorities who like rebel news, and by the way, that's quite a few, she thinks they're not real visible minorities.
That sort of sounds racist to me, doesn't it?
But here she is.
She says, that was my problem.
A person I think is white purporting to repeat rebel news talking points as coming from Indigenous people.
We have a ton of Indigenous supporters.
We have people who are Indigenous who work for us full-time.
Sorry, we don't have her approval to be conservative.
Oh, did I mention she really hates us?
Then why the association with fascists, rebel news, etc.?
Do you want someone who's such a wacko in charge of any sort of justice?
She's clearly not fit for the role.
I'll just read one or two more, as long as it's not the racist garbage on the rebel.
Just to keep in mind who Trudeau hired to write this crazy, insane report, so insane that he released it on a Friday afternoon on a long weekend.
I mean, let's just turn straight to the craziest part of the report, okay?
I mean, there's a lot of crazy in it.
They really want a race-based justice system from police to courts.
But the craziest part is reparations.
You know what reparations are, right?
These days, it means paying people for something done wrong to them as a collective.
Like in the U.S., where reparations is mainly talked about, the idea is to pay reparations for black slavery.
Of course, it's very hard to do that because there is no one alive today who was a slave.
And there is no one alive today who was a slave owner.
And then, of course, there are many black people who came to America since slavery was abolished.
And it doesn't really make sense to pay reparations to them.
And there are many white people and other races who came to America since slavery was abolished.
And it doesn't really make sense to make them pay reparations.
And you might say America paid in blood for its sin of slavery with over 600,000 dead in their Civil War, which was largely over slavery.
By the way, there were only a total of about 400,000 slaves sent to North America.
I'm not downplaying that.
One slave is too many.
But America paid in blood for its sin of slavery.
You should go to the Lincoln Memorial and read his second inaugural address on the subject.
By the way, there are more than 40 million black people in America today.
It's the best country in the world to be black.
If you disagree with me, tell me a country that's better.
I think Canada might be the only place better.
And what do you do, by the way, if you're talking about reparations, if someone is half black, like Barack Obama, does he pay reparations to himself?
And remember, Barack Obama's mom was white and his dad was from Kenya.
So he wasn't a descendant of slaves.
Same thing with Kamala Harris, actually.
Her mom is a Tamil Indian.
Her dad is from Jamaica.
He's Jamaican-Irish, born overseas.
How does she fit in at all?
And hang on, aren't we trying to get away from racism and judging people by race?
Isn't it a really bad idea to put people into categories and give them benefits or penalties based on racism?
The whole reason.
They're talking about reparations in the first place because racism was bad.
And of course, you're probably thinking this whole time Ezra, what has this got to do with us as Canadians?
That's American stuff.
We didn't have slavery here.
Slavery was banned decades before Canada even became a country.
We were the destination of runaway slaves on the Underground Railway that's what they called it.
When slaves ran away from the south, we were where slave came.
Slaves came to be free.
This is some U.s thing grafted on to Canada.
By the way, in the report they actually go on and on about George Floyd.
That's an American story.
Why should Canadians pay for an American issue?
So obviously just an attempt to gin up some dollars.
There were a small number of slaves in Canada a few hundred years ago.
It's true.
They were mainly Indian tribes who took other Indians as slaves in war.
Um, the Mohawks the the, the uh for, for one example, the Haida uh, there was a lot of slavery in the First Nations for military purposes, for economic purposes.
Um, all of that was stamped out literally two centuries ago.
But look at it.
Look at it on page 38.
I just want to show it to you with your own eyes, so you don't think i'm making.
I got to read it.
I'll just read the the sentence recommendations, reparative justice.
Now you and me think justice is.
He punched me in the nose.
That's a crime.
He broke a contract.
I'm going to court something that involves you.
Something bad happened to you and we might think that you know there's some.
If they, if they burn down your garage, they got to build you a new garage, that's, that would be what like a compensation.
But they're not talking about anything that happened to you.
They're saying, because of what they claim Canada was hundreds of years ago, certain classes of people today get money.
Nothing happened to you.
Um, they call it reparative justice, which is a made-up word.
It's a medium-term goal, by the way.
Let me read it, medium term, establish a committee of black justice professionals.
Oh, let me guess, let me guess, let me guess it's going to include the authors here, academics and community leaders to study options for reparations to black people for enslavement, segregation and racially biased laws.
Are you serious black reparations?
You know, I saw a census of black people in Toronto from a couple of hundred years ago.
There were there were 16 black people in Toronto.
This is not a thing.
There were more black people working on this report demanding reparations than there were in Canada.
To get reparations 200 years ago.
But reparations for what and for whom?
The vast majority of black people have come to Canada in the last generation.
This is not a true policy paper.
This is a bank heist.
This is not a genuine act of reconciliation.
Like I say, I think Canada is probably the best country in the world to be black in.
Maybe the United States could claim that, but you, You'd tell me a better place.
Before Barack Obama was elected in the United States, by the way, we had a black governor general first.
I don't know if you remember, Mikhail Jean.
That was 20 years ago now.
We've had so many visible minorities in public office, it's absurd to list them, not just black, of course, but every other color and race and religion, mayors.
I mean, think of Calgary with Jody Gondeck and Edmonton with Amrit Sohi in Vancouver with Mayor Sim.
I mean, I think, in fact, looking around the country, you have Olivia Chow in Toronto.
You have Premier Wabcano in Manitoba.
I think there are more places in Canada that have a minority as mayor than don't, if you were just counting by sheer numbers.
But I don't want to count by numbers.
I'm not a weirdo who thinks justice can only be had if there's this many races here or that many races there.
I think I don't care what color the mayor or the premier is unless they're good.
I care far more if they're a good mayor or premier than what their color are.
And that's just politics.
What about heads of companies?
That's purely based on merits, not some racist claim, some grievance industry.
And you notice that their plan for reparations, they get to spread the jobs around to academics and community leaders and their buddies.
I used to joke that these grievance studies classes, how could you possibly get a job with grievance studies?
Are you kidding?
These are the people that get put into these commissions, get hired to write reports like this, that staff every human resources office in the country.
England's Slave Trade Abolition00:08:11
But don't believe it.
I tell you, do not believe it.
Don't believe we're racist.
They are the racist ones.
They are the intolerant ones.
They are the ones who judge you by your race.
Here, let me replay for you some of my video from a couple of years ago where I prove to you the great history of Canada's role in fighting against racism and slavery.
And in a larger way, the British Empire, which did more than any other empire in history to end slavery.
By the way, slavery still exists today in Africa, in Asia, in the Middle East.
Imagine the chutzpah of saying that Canada is the guilty one.
Here, remember this.
My case today is that we didn't let it take root in Canada.
We did not.
In fact, I think Canada is probably one of the least slavey places in the whole world.
And I tell you that so that when some know nothing on Twitter or some know-nothing working at the National Post or Toronto Star or Globe and Mail or CBC tells you how racist you are, because we're all racist, because this country is racist, you can deny it with facts and hopefully with your feelings too.
Let's go back a bit.
How does 1772 suit you?
That's before the United States had its revolution.
That's before the French Revolution, too.
Here's a court ruling from the UK called Somerset versus Stewart.
Let me read a bit.
On return to a habeas corpus requiring Captain Knowles to show cause for the seizure and detainer of the complainant Somerset, a Negro, the case appeared to be this.
Okay, some old-fashioned language there.
Somerset was a black man.
Captain Knowles had seized and detained him as a slave, and Somerset sued, referring to the ancient British tradition of habeas corpus.
As you know, you can't arrest someone without having some proof they've done something wrong.
That's called habeas corpus.
It's actually Latin for have the body.
As in you have to have some proof that there was a crime going on if you're going to hold a man, seize him, detain him.
Police can't just pick you up without habeas corpus.
So if you're treating someone as a slave, well, you just can't do it because you want to do it.
You're treating him like a prisoner.
Prove that he should be a prisoner.
That's what the law says.
I'll read just a little bit more because it's a bit old-fashioned and illegalistic language, as you would expect from 250 years ago.
The Negro had been a slave to Mr. Stewart in Virginia, had been purchased from the African coast in the course of the slave trade as tolerated in the plantations.
He had been brought over to England by his master, who, intending to return, by force sent him on board of a Captain Knowles' vessel lying in the river and was there by the order of his master in the custody of Captain Knowles, detained against his consent until returned in obedience to the writ.
Okay, so he's brought from Africa to the colonies and then to Britain.
And here's what the judges said about that.
The question on that is not whether slavery is lawful in the colonies, where a concurrence of unhappy circumstances has caused it to be established as necessary, but whether in England.
Not whether it has ever existed in England, but whether it be now abolished.
Now maybe I shouldn't, I mean, I want to read this all to you, I just don't have time.
It's a wonderful ruling.
For the next paragraph, the judges give the most forceful denunciation of slavery, I think, that I've ever read.
They describe its immorality, its corrupting effect actually on the slave master, too, its practical effects on all of humanity, and mainly on the rights of the slave.
It is a wonderful ruling.
Can I invite you to Google it and read it for yourself?
It's called Somerset's case.
Anyways, the judges here don't try to ban slavery throughout the British Empire.
I don't think they had the jurisdiction.
This was just some guy in a boat in the river.
But a slave presented himself and said, look, I'm in England.
England does not allow slavery.
And the judges said, by George, you're right.
Shall an attempt to introduce perpetual servitude here to this island hope for countenance?
Will not all the other mischiefs of mere utter servitude revive?
And this.
Incompatible with the mild and human precepts of Christianity.
And this.
Tis very doubtful whether the laws of England will permit a man to bind himself by contract to serve for life.
As in, you're not even allowed to sign a contract to be a slave for your whole life.
You just won't be allowed to do it by the government.
This is 250 years ago this was written.
These judges just wouldn't have it.
Anyhow, amazing case.
It was shortly after that case that William Wilberforce's Committee for the Abolition of Slave Trade dedicated itself to the project of banning slavery everywhere, really.
That's the subject of the movie Amazing Grace.
I should say it again.
As the judges said, Christianity was the motivating force for Wilberforce, for so many of the other abolitionists.
It was mentioned in the court cases I showed you.
I contrast that with Islam, which legalizes and normalizes slavery, both slavery of men and the rape slavery of women.
Muhammad himself had slaves.
Christianity is unusual in not only its rejection of slavery, but its motivation to redeem captives around the world.
And that's such a key point here.
The UK was ridding itself of whatever vestiges of slavery were in its own island.
That's what Somerset's case said.
It didn't ban slavery in the 13 colonies in America.
It just said, don't bring your slavery here back to England.
We won't accept it.
That's bold.
But then the Brits said, all right, well, let's free the whole world.
They actually said that, and they went about doing that.
And not by rioting and looting their own cities.
Look at this.
An act for the abolition of the slave trade.
It was passed in Parliament in 1807.
Now, it didn't ban slavery itself in the British Empire, but it banned the slave trade.
So if you were already a slave, it did not free you yet.
But it was a direct attack on the industry of slavery, the capturing of slaves, the shipment of slaves to auctions.
It was the starter pistol for the Royal Navy's Great War on Slave Traders back in 1807.
And if that wasn't tough enough, well, it got tougher.
The Slave Trade Felony Act turned slave trading into a crime on par with piracy.
And if you don't know, pirates, especially back then, were deemed to be outside the law, sort of like terrorists.
They had no, very few rights in law.
They could be executed almost on site after a drumhead trial.
To be a slave trader in the face of the Slave Trade Felony Act was as risky back then as being a member of ISIS.
Now, actually, riskier.
They didn't have a Guantanamo Bay.
They just killed them.
Back then, they had Royal Navy ships, not drones.
The Royal Navy set up a special fleet just for the purpose of stopping slave ships.
They called it the West Africa Squadron.
It was fully one-sixth of the entire Royal Navy, ships and Marines.
Over the course of 50 years, this was a 50-year war against slavery.
This West Africa squadron seized 1,600 different slave ships.
1,600.
Can you imagine?
They freed 150,000 Africans who were being shipped to slave markets.
It's like Schindler's list.
Now, these were not British citizens.
This was not actually in the economic interest of Britain or the colonies.
This was purely done as a moral expression of British and Christian ideology in the face of evil.
It wasn't just military.
Britain signed treaties with countries throughout Africa to press them to stop the slave trade.
This had never happened before in history.
Yeah, it's so, so gross that Trudeau would create yet another grievance industry, yet another way for these hucksters to cash in, yet another way to smear our country as effectively genociders.
He loves saying that.
The only silver lining I can find here is that maybe Trudeau's decision to release this on the eve of a long weekend on Friday afternoon suggests that even he is embarrassed by this, and maybe it'll amount to nothing.
Trudeau's Grievance Industry00:02:44
Stay with us for more.
Hey, welcome back.
Joining me in the studio is our dear friend Alexa Lavoie, our chief correspondent from Quebec.
It's great to have you here in Toronto.
Nice to see you again.
Nice to see you all the time.
You know, our viewers love you for a lot of reasons.
One of my favorite things about you is you are our eyes into Quebec, showing us that there are people in that province who care about freedom and that maybe we have more in common than we thought.
I also like that you do reports en français to Quebecers to tell them what's going on in their own homes.
So I think it's wonderful.
But Quebec can be dangerous in different ways.
One of them is Antifa is really a street gang in Montreal that's violent and they really rule the streets.
Tell me a little bit about it and then we'll play a clip to show our viewers.
But Montreal, people need to know that Montreal is really from the left side, pretty left-wing regarding politics.
One of the main parties that is leading is Quebec Solidaire and NPD is pretty huge too.
And what we can see is like it's not just only a problem in the school institution like regarding college or regarding university.
We see a lot of antifa, anti-capitalist, anti-colonialism, anarchists.
There is all kind of leftist aside as Marxism and they are pretty violent.
The thing is they were looking into removing the rights to wear masks in protest in the past, but the judge overturned that.
And now they are fully masked.
They break the law repeatedly.
They do vandalism, they just face statue and they just create a big chaos in Montreal especially.
And they don't have any sanction.
They are not punished by the law.
I've seen this happen in other cities also, like Portland, Oregon.
Portland, Antifa runs the streets.
It really is like in another city, it would be like Hell's Angels.
And Antifa has a tactic they call black block, where they dress from head to toe in black.
So it's very hard to distinguish them and identify them.
They also have a tactic where they unfurl umbrellas to sort of hide what they do.
And the Marxist Antifa have teamed up with the pro-Gaza people, haven't they?
Antifa's Tactics00:03:08
They did.
And this is the most scary part because their movement is growing and they know that it's growing because now they have support from other kind of group.
They have different opinions on so many things as probably LGBTQ or other stuff like that.
But the common goal is they hate the West, they hate establishment, and they just hate police and everything else like that.
So they are teams up now and they are growing.
And we see those massive protests taking place every week, sometimes two, three times a week.
It's way bigger than the rest of Canada.
Montreal is getting out of control.
And the mayor is not doing anything because the mayor is a leftist.
Right.
You know, we could be talking about so many other failing cities in America that we focus on, but it's come to Montreal.
Now, you have an interesting role in this in that Montreal's media is like Montreal's other institutions.
It's with the regime.
It does not criticize the regime.
For example, during the lockdowns, Montreal's media was totally supportive of the lockdowns.
They showed no curiosity.
And so when Rebel News showed some curiosity, the police didn't know what to do.
Who are these people?
We got into a fight with them.
Same thing with Antifa.
You're one of the few journalists who points a camera at them.
Most of the other journalists are either afraid of them or support them.
I want to show a video of what happened when you went to a protest.
Now, there are police right near there.
So you should have been safe.
You're police right there.
But let's show what happened and then we'll talk about it.
Here's a video of you filmed by our cameraman, Guillaume Roi, of you a couple weeks ago.
And you can explain what we see after we see it.
Let's take a look.
Revolutes.
They call it.
Bye-bye.
Fuck you.
Rebels.
Fuck you.
Rebel news.
Fuck you.
Rebels.
Police Inaction Revealed00:09:48
Fuck you.
the police were standing there there was There was one, he looks like a random stranger who tried to block Antifa, but the police were 10 feet away from me the whole time and they didn't do a thing.
Nothing.
They look at me, they told me, stop to go closer from them.
I was like, they are chasing me down.
I'm sorry.
I never went.
They ran across the street.
They came across the street to you.
They riot me, like literally, they saw me, they were one, two, three, and they run towards me.
And what did they spray you with?
What was that?
The first one was a sticky yellow paint, like kind of latex.
That was on my 360 camera.
Afterwards, it was a kind of blue pain in a big tank.
They used that to deface the Victoria statue.
They also used, I think it was DW40 twice in my face.
I mean, first of all, that's assault.
Second of all, this time it's paint and oil, but next time it could be acid, God forbid may it not happen.
I mean, that is an assault.
That's assault, that's aggravated assault, that's assault with a weapon.
And they were standing, the cops were standing right there, and just confirmed for me: the police arrested nobody.
The police did arrest nobody.
And by the way, I was, I invite everybody to watch a full report because it's way more outrageous than you think.
I was running towards the police officer, pleasing.
I was like, please help us because I need a presence.
I need a police presence to be capable to run away, to go somewhere else.
And the police on bike were just going away from me and saying, we told you we will not protect you.
And I was like, but it's not your job to protect people because right now I'm just trying to escape and I cannot escape because if you're going away, I'm alone in the street with nobody to watch me and nobody to be able to protect me like if they try to do something worse than paint.
You know, we try and support you with bodyguards.
We don't have bodyguards for literally every single place in the city all the time.
We just couldn't support that.
In this case, this was not the McGill encampment.
This was just a new place where they had just gone.
The police were there.
We all thought you would be safe.
But if police do nothing, there's nowhere that's safe.
I mean, we are working on getting you better security coverage.
And I think you know now that if there's Antifa or expected Antifa, we've got to have a bodyguard with you, even if the police are there, because the police can't be trusted to do anything.
The funny thing is, there was a mainstream journalist who I think was hassled in a very minor way by Antifa.
but he wasn't sprayed with anything.
And the mayor made a big fuss about it.
Tell me a little bit about that because the double standard is astonishing.
A mainstream media journalist gets a minor inconvenience and the mayor and the police are all over it.
But you get swarmed and assaulted and the mayor and the police are silent.
Yeah, so a journalist from TVA went to the encampments and that happened four days after the encampment was settled.
It was a big counter protest that took place and it was like, okay, I'm just going to ask questions to the anti-Israel supporters.
And someone pour something over the head.
Nobody was arrested.
The police saw the scene and the journalist posted.
Okay, so he did have something poured on his head.
I sympathize with him.
It shouldn't have.
Exactly.
And he posted the incident on Twitter.
And everybody was like, okay, like, are you going to defend Alexa now?
Are you going to talk about aggression?
And so Valérie Plonde co-tweeted the incident and say, I denounce what happened to one journalist, one journalist.
And it was obviously the video that she was co-tweeting.
And she blocked the message under because she knew that everybody will bring my aggression.
They absolutely know about us.
The police don't like rebel news.
We had a big legal battle with them.
But I understand that just in the last couple of days, you've actually received a phone call from the Montreal police called the SPBM.
I don't want you to give away any confidences, but can you tell our viewers, are they now looking to assist you with what happened?
So I went to the police station to fill a complaint, not only for the encampment aggression, but in the ontology too.
What does the ontology mean?
The code of conduct of a police.
Got it, got it.
So I failed those complaint, but same before I failed those complaint, the video was bringing to the attention of the SPVM, and they did open a criminal investigation before they saw my complaint.
Well, you know what?
I don't have high hopes for the Montreal police, the SPBM, because I've seen them fight against us.
I've seen them arrest our journalists before.
This was before you joined our team, but I think you were there when you saw it.
When we were in the port of Montreal, we had that Airbnb, and they locked down the whole boat.
They arrested Lincoln.
They arrested Efron and Sid and others.
And we sued them.
And they finally grudgingly settled.
It'll be interesting to see how they conduct themselves this time.
And especially since they have that TBA journalist.
TBA is a very prominent TV station.
It's really like the CTV is in English Canada TV.
I think that's a Pellido TV station.
So it's owned by a very prestigious and wealthy Quebecer.
It'll be interesting to see if they treat your case the same way they treat his.
I feel terrible when I see these videos of you and Guillaume being attacked.
Please do your best to avail yourselves of security guards.
As you know, we have security in different cities.
I know in this case, you just, the police were right there.
You could assume that the police would help you.
They didn't give a damn, and that's shocking to me.
And I need to swear.
I swear I was really far away from the camp, but they saw me anyway.
They rushed across the street.
Well, there's no story that's worth you getting hurt.
And especially, I mean, we're bodyguards for our male reporters also sometimes, but it just kills me the fact.
I mean, Antifa, they have no coat of honor.
They would hit a woman in a second.
They would hit a child.
They would hit someone in a wheelchair.
They don't care.
They're communist in that anything for the revolution.
The issue isn't the issue.
The revolution is the issue.
That's why you have groups like Queers for Palestine.
It makes no sense other than it's just part of the revolution.
Stay strong.
We have a journalist defense fund, and we need it.
I mean, I think we probably spend more on security for our journalists than any other TV station in the country.
I mean, CBC doesn't need it.
But thank you for being brave and keep covering the stories and take care of yourself.
I will.
And we'll try and take care of you too.
All right.
Stay with us.
More ahead.
I tell you, it's always something going on.
Rebel news, because we're on the front lines of public controversies.
We're always in the news ourselves.
Sometimes we don't mind it.
Sometimes we hate it very much.
I hate it when Antifa attacks our people.
I hate it, especially if it's Alexa or another woman on our team who's attacked.
We do spend thousands of dollars a month on security.
You just don't think you'd need security if you're standing 10 feet away from police.
I feel very safe when I stand 10 feet away from police at a public event.
I feel like I can sort of stay close to them and I'll be okay.
They'll protect me and just even their presence will deter the bad guys, but not Montreal because the police don't get involved and Antifa know it.
And I thought that was astonishing and atrocious footage.
We're going to help Alexa get some justice.
I don't know the final form that will take.
Anyways, thank you for being a part of our program by subscribing and thank you for your support for all our projects.
We've had a lot over the last couple of weeks and there's no letting up for us in the future.
