Ezra Levant warns that globalists may rush mass migration into the West—like Canada’s planned 20,000+ Gaza migrants via porous U.S. borders—before Trump’s potential election victory in 102 days, risking visa retaliation for Canadians. He questions Ukraine’s Zelensky over territorial concessions amid war stalemate and China’s delayed Taiwan move due to U.S. leadership chaos, while blaming Trudeau’s stubbornness and Parks Canada’s $6.7B green mandates for Alberta’s wildfires, ignoring expert advice like controlled burns. Levant’s election-driven urgency suggests migration policies could collapse under Trump’s pressure, reshaping borders permanently. [Automatically generated summary]
And it'll have so many, you know, ripple effects around the world, including on immigration in Canada.
I really believe if Harris wins versus Trump, I think it could be the end of the West as we know it, because it'll be the end of borders.
I'll take you through some of my thinking and what I think is going to happen, including bad guys rushing through things in the next 102 days while they can.
I wonder what China has in mind.
That's all ahead.
But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.
That's the video version of this podcast.

It's eight bucks a month, which may not sound like a lot of money to you, but it really adds up for us because we get no money from Trudeau or YouTube and it shows.
All right, here's today's podcast.
Tonight, what are the next four months going to be like?
It's July 26th, and this is the Ezra Levant show.
Shame on you.
You censorious bug.
Yesterday, I read to you the detailed letter by Senator Mark Rubio of Florida, the ranking Republican member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
He's worried that Trudeau's scheme to bring thousands of migrants from Gaza to Canada is a danger to the United States.
He wants to know how the U.S. Homeland Security Service plans to handle any Gazans if they try to cross into U.S. territory.
He mentioned the possibility that they'd come to official border crossings, but obviously he also mentioned the possibility that they would sneak through where there is no official border crossing.
And in the case of Canada and the U.S., that's 99.9% of it.
There is no fences.
You know, we don't have a physical border between the two countries.
It's one of the greatest things in the world.
It's just open fields.
We're that friendly with them.
It's like how it is and was at Wroxham Road, just a ditch with some markers.
Anyone could just hop across.
So for five years or so, tens of thousands, I think more than 100,000 people, bogus refugees came north into Canada through Wroxham Road.
In many cases, they were people who were about to be deported from the U.S. For example, if they had their refugee status refused in the States and were subject to a deportation order, well, they could just sneak into Canada and have the whole thing start over again.
And of course, we're too stupid to deport people.
We never do.
So now expect that traffic to go the other way.
I feel like things are speeding up.
I feel like things are getting more complex more quickly.
It's almost August.
I looked it up.
It's exactly 102 days from today until the U.S. election.
That's not a lot.
I think everything Everything turns on that U.S. election.
I think that there will be a lot of forces in the world trying to alter that result, obviously, but also a lot of forces in the world just trying to get things done in the next 102 days that they might not be able to do after that.
Immigration is obviously a big part of that.
I think that if Trump actually does win, I think he is going to crack down on the open border for real this time.
And it's just so out of control now.
It's unsustainable.
And I don't think he's going to mess around with Canada.
What I mean by that is I think he'll basically say to Trudeau, stop your Gaza shenanigans, get a hold of your out-of-control immigration, or get ready to have Canadian citizens be forced to get a visa to apply to travel to the U.S. in advance, which would just devastate our economy.
I think you can see a sprint around the world to jam through as many migrants as possible everywhere before Trump makes borders great again.
I mean, in Canada, if you can believe it, we're actually faster, further, harder with immigration in 2024 than we were last year, despite the liberals' promises to rein it in.
In the UK, Ireland, continental Europe, it's almost like kids left alone by their parents at home saying, quick, mom and dad are coming home in an hour.
We have to misbehave now before they're back.
It's not just immigration, of course.
The Russia-Ukraine war is something that I think has a four or six-month timeline too.
I say six months because if Trump wins in November, he doesn't take office till January.
We have known for some time now that there was a legitimate attempt to broker a peace between those countries that came tantalizingly close back in 2022, just about six months after the war started, until Boris Johnson was sent in to scupper it for whatever reason.
And I deeply regret that he was, because hundreds of thousands of men have died on both sides since then, and innocent civilians too, of course.
And Russia has three times the population of Ukraine, so both sides are putting their young men through the meat grinder.
It's a human tragedy, but of course, it's been much more so for Ukraine just because of its smaller size.
I know that the Pentagon has repeatedly said they think this is a winning war.
They're trapping Russian armies in Ukraine and unleashing American weapons against them, missiles, tanks, armored vehicles, drones.
They've sunk a bunch of Russian ships.
And that has obviously hurt the Russians.
But the great Ukrainian counteroffensive of 2023 never really took off.
Russia continues to take more land daily.
Let's Talk About the Country00:17:46
I don't know what was achieved by saying no to peace a year and a half ago, a year ago.
Look at this from Yahoo News.
Kiev Mayer, Ukraine may need to hold referendum in case of peace deal.
But it's a little more complex than that.
Here's what that mayor, Vitaly Klitschko, said.
He said, I'll just quote from the story, Klitschko put the predicament in stark terms.
He's talking about the problem that Zelensky has.
The next few months will be very difficult for Vladimir Zelensky.
Should he continue the war with new deaths and destruction or consider a territorial compromise with Putin?
And in this case, what pressure will come from America if Trump wins?
And how do we explain to the country that we need to give up pieces of our territory that cost the lives of thousands of our heroes?
Whatever step he takes, our president risks committing political suicide.
Yeah, you can see Klitschko isn't exactly a fan of Zelensky.
I think Klitschko will likely be the next president there.
But this kind of conversation that the war may actually end and we should probably start talking about it ending and who's going to approve a peace deal.
It's certainly a marked departure from the last two years where you weren't even allowed to talk about a negotiated diplomatic settlement.
And it's Trump's chances of winning that are making it a live issue.
I'm honestly surprised, given the events of the last two weeks, that China has not made a move on Taiwan.
Do you know who's in command right now in Washington?
Joe Biden, I think we both know he's not.
Kamala Harris, I think we both know she's not.
So who?
Does anybody know?
The confusion in America is very high right now.
Imagine the confusion in world governments.
My theory is that the Chinese are probably so totally wired to every cell phone, email, TikTok app by everyone at the White House and Pentagon.
They're probably tracking so many people that they probably know more about who is actually running the United States and the U.S. military than U.S. citizens do or than the U.S. media does.
What do you think of that theory?
I mean, do you know who's right?
Who would make the decisions?
Who would make a wartime decision right now if there were a crisis, if China did try and invade Taiwan?
We all know it's not Biden.
We all know it's not Harris.
So who?
And does China think they could get away with something in the next four months, the next 102 days, that maybe they wouldn't be able to do if Trump wins in November?
I mean, look at that.
It's the end of July, so August, September, October, and then basically a week.
I feel like Justin Trudeau wants to max things out, just floor it in the meantime also.
You saw some clips of him talking to Kian Becksty on our show yesterday.
Why would Trudeau resign now?
I've been thinking about that more and more.
Because the polls say so, because it's the right thing to do for the country.
But who would he resign in favor of?
Christia Freeland?
He despises her.
Melanie Joli, he knows she's shallow.
But why would Trudeau step aside for anyone?
I mean, first of all, who's going to make him?
The caucus, that is the MPs, that won't even meet?
By the way, Trudeau is not actually the legal boss of a caucus meeting.
It just, you know, they can meet whenever they want to.
There's a chair of the caucus.
It's its own institution.
Of course they could convene a meeting, but they're not even doing that.
They're so whipped by Trudeau.
They're so utterly abject in their subservience to him.
And I think Trudeau believes he's God's gift to Canada.
I mean, he was born on Christmas Day.
So why would he do what the MPs tell him to do or want him to do?
I mean, from his point of view, didn't he make them?
Didn't he win their seats for them?
Do you think some rando liberal MP won on his own accord or on his own name or even by the local effort?
It was all Trudeau's reputation.
I think there's an argument to be made for that.
And I don't like Trudeau, but can you name 50 backbenchers?
They're nobodies.
That's what Trudeau's dad taught us.
So I don't think Justin Trudeau's going anywhere.
He's too disgusted with his own MPs to respect them or defer to them.
Of course things will change if Trump becomes president, but will he?
I don't know.
I don't want to daydream about it too much, though.
I mean, it's fun to think about, but it is outside of our power.
And given the recent assassination attempt and then the soft coup against Joe Biden, it may be outside the power of U.S. citizens also.
You know that so-called serenity prayer?
You sometimes see it printed out on a scroll.
It's great, by the way.
I really like it.
It's a practical prayer, by the way.
You know how it goes?
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
I really like that.
That's pretty wonderful.
And it's not just some new age babble.
So what can we change?
Things in Canada, probably more than things in the U.S., right?
Things in politics, probably, more than in other spheres.
Maybe even things in media, especially with new media, independent media like Rebel News and others.
Probably easier to fix than things decided by tiny groups of people like judges and courts.
But there's some hope there too.
I'm hopeful when I look across the country away from Ottawa.
I'm hopeful about Danielle Smith in Alberta.
I'm excited to see very strong polls for the Conservative Party provincially in BC.
If they had an election today, they would beat the NDP.
Saskatchewan is a rock, obviously.
I'm excited to see Pierre Polyev slowly find his courage on issues like immigration, at least baby steps there.
I think we have to keep up the pressure to shape the ideas battlefield in which the election will happen.
What I mean by that is to normalize talking about issues that you're not supposed to.
Mass migration being an obvious one.
Nigel Farage is doing that in the UK.
Maureen Le Pen is doing that in France.
Gerd Wilders is doing that in the Netherlands.
Obviously, Trump's doing it in America.
And you'll notice all the names I've just mentioned are having great success.
We have to shape our own country.
I care about America because I love America.
I care about America because it will affect things in Canada.
But we have to focus on shaping our own country.
That's what the Serenity Prayer shows us to do.
And what can be spoken about in Canada without whispering.
That's our work, I think.
So don't give me into cancel culture.
Don't censor yourself.
Don't accept attempted bullying by, say, the CBC.
I had a phone call today by someone who wants to work with us, but her friends are mean to her about her relationship with Rebel News, and she's wondering if she can work on the lowdown.
No, don't be that way.
Don't be that way.
Find the courage.
Find the courage to be who you are, to talk about things like the 3,000 Gaza migrants Trudeau just gave visas to.
We have to normalize talking in our real voices, not just in whispers.
Stay with us.
Up next, our friend Lorne Gunter about the Jasper forest fires.
The first large crowdfunding campaigns Rebel News ever did was for the wildfires that consumed the city of Fort McMurray almost 10 years ago.
It was a shocking fire.
The entire city had to be evacuated, and there were hellish scenes of arches of fire over the roads.
I found that deeply troubling, and I love Fort McMurray for many reasons.
And we deployed Rebel News to try to crowdfund.
We actually raised over 100 grand.
It was a very meaningful thing.
And it started us down the path of not just crowdfunding for rebel projects, but for third-party charity projects.
That one, we actually teamed up in the end with the Red Cross, and we've gone on to other things.
There's something about fires that I think is obviously primordial.
I mean, the birth of man and the birth of fire are closely connected, managing fire, handling fire, and it's very humbling.
You know, the works of man such as you see in Fort McMurray that can be consumed by this force of nature.
It's like a volcano or a tidal wave.
It's terrifying.
We saw that in Lahaina, Maui, a year ago.
There's terrible scenes of scorched vehicles and lost lives.
And now we see that again in Alberta, in the beautiful town of Jasper, a beautiful national park, obviously a tourist industry and a home to so many people.
Shocking images.
And to me, the images of burnt out vehicles is somehow terrifying.
It feels like a war zone, and it is a war, man versus nature.
And it's almost an impossible battle.
I'm troubled by what I see.
Joining us now to give us the facts about this all-consuming fire from Jasper and to talk a little bit secondarily about why it was so bad.
The most important news is what happened?
Are people okay?
Were there deaths?
Is the fire under control?
But once those first order questions are dealt with, I think it behooves us as people who care about public policy to ask why and how, because those questions sprung up in Fort McMurray and in Maui.
And I think they ought to be answered here in Jasper too.
Joining us now to talk about all this is our friend Lauren Gunter from the Emerson Sun, whose column is called Jasper Blaze Exposes Possible Flaws in Parks Canada Wildfire Strategy.
And Lauren joins us now.
Lauren, great to see you again.
These are very humbling things, fires, and they bring us together beyond partisan stripe.
They're a terrible thing.
Tell me what you know about the Jasper fires.
We don't know everything yet.
There's going to be in about two hours a press tour of the town site for the first time since the fires went through on Wednesday night.
So that's now about not quite 48 hours.
And it'll all be pool photography, pool video.
So one camera, you know, one camera, maybe a couple of photographers will be allowed through and we'll get a better chance to see what's what.
But for instance, last night, Thursday night, a full day after the fire, the Jasper Park Lodge, which is the iconic historic lodge just outside the town site, sent an email to all of its staff saying we've lost four buildings.
One of them was one of the very beautiful private manners that they have, one of the private suites that they have.
It's a little like a big cabin.
One of them was a golf maintenance building.
One was another equipment building of some sort.
And then they lost another, I think, four-suite guest house.
So they've lost some stuff, but the main lodge is okay.
And it sounds perhaps, and this sounds trivial at a time like this, but it sounds perhaps like the golf course hasn't been totally consumed.
But the fire came towards this lodge from the golf course side.
And so you have to think with a 400-foot wall of flame coming at you that it probably has consumed some.
But we're going to find out, I think, a lot of the stuff in the west end of the town site of Jasper is gone.
But as we found in Fort McMurray, there will be surprising survivors, meaning buildings.
And most of the main infrastructure in town has been saved.
The fire crews tried very hard to keep the water treatment plant open and the hospital and all sorts of very important infrastructure like that.
And they seem to have succeeded.
So, you know, in the aftermath, it's going to be awful.
We're going to see, as you said, a lot of burnt down buildings, burnt out cars, and it's going to be bad.
But it may not be quite as bad as we were thinking it would be on Wednesday night.
Was there any loss of life that we know about?
Not that we know of.
And thankfully, weren't any major injuries either.
You know, this one family, I think, is probably symbolic of a lot of the attitudes towards this fire.
This family left Jasper, headed west.
People were told to go west.
I don't understand that.
I guess the fire was too bad on the highway going east because all the big facilities in Alberta are all to the east of Jasper.
But they were told to go west into BC and they got to Vailmont, which is a beautiful little town of about a thousand people.
And the people in Vailmont said, We don't know what you can do.
You know, there's 25,000 of you.
What can we do?
There's only a thousand people in this town.
And so this one family who'd been staying in Hinton, which is about 45 minutes east of Jasper, just outside the park gates, they thought, okay, well, we'll drive to Kamloops.
Well, Kamloops is a four-hour drive from there.
Then they thought, well, we really should get back to Hinton.
So they went from Kamloops to Calgary, from Calgary to Edmonton, and from Edmonton back to Hinton.
It took them 15 hours to do this route that should take 40 minutes.
And but at the end, they were interviewed and they said, well, you know, at least we survived.
We're okay.
We're fine.
We got out of it.
So, you know, that's the attitude I think an awful lot of people have had about that.
I remember when Fort McMurray went up in flames, I think one of the things that was credited for the survival of the people was that a lot of people in Fort McMurray work for big oil companies that have a lot of safety drills and they have fire marshals and people practice those things as part of the industry.
So they're used to ideas like muster in a place and evacuate and who's the boss and stay calm.
It's almost like if you, and I know you've been on a cruise ship with us before, they have a little drill before the boat goes to sea, just so you're used to it.
I'm guessing Jasper isn't the same way.
You mentioned 400-foot flames.
That's astonishing.
I think that's as tall as a 40-story building.
I mean, and the amount of heat from that, and that would jump over a river for sure.
Certainly a stream.
Let's talk about the reason for that.
There was all that dead forest that had been dead for years.
Years ago, the pine beetle came and killed all the trees, but the trees are still standing up and they're dry as a bone because they're dead.
They're just standing up.
And let's talk about that because that was the fuel for this monstrous fire, wasn't it?
It was, absolutely.
And Parks Canada had been warned again and again and again that it had to do something about these trees.
But they are so woke and so green in their approach that they said, no, no, no.
The natural thing is to let the trees stand and eventually the forest will rejuvenate itself.
Now, the way forests rejuvenate themselves is through fire.
So, I mean, they had to have sort of understood what they were saying was, well, we have to wait for a big fire to go through.
They did want to do controlled burns.
Parks Canada has said over the years that they would do controlled burns around the town site and down south into the valley where the pine beetle devastation was the worst.
But the conditions are very tricky there.
You can't do a big controlled burn in the summertime because there are 20,000 tourists there at any given time.
And so you have to hope that there's not early snow, that there's not late snow, that there isn't a soaking rain because controlled burns won't work any of this.
So you only have a few weeks in what are called the shoulder seasons on either side of the summer in between summer and ski season, where you can do these controlled burns.
And it never happened.
So they just let tens of thousands of hectares of dead trees stand around, getting drier and drier and drier.
And the guy who has been the mayor or the chief executive, chief elected officer of Jasper since 1989, a guy named Richard Ireland, he started in 2017 in a concerted way to try and get Parks Canada to do something about this.
In 2018, the residents set up a campaign called Save Jasper, which was hoping to get Parks Canada to allow forest companies to come in and log.
I was told last year by an executive in a forest company that they could help sort out the problems in Jasper in about two seasons if the parks would simply allow them to bring in equipment to take out every other tree.
Like they have a plan, they have a formula about how many trees they have to take out and how they can stop the spread of a fire with taking out this tree and that tree and the one over there.
But nobody at Parks Canada would listen.
Parks Canada's Dilemma00:10:32
And they stuck with this environmental fantasy they have about how it was going to be naturally reforested.
That's just not a thing.
That's not a thing.
I mean, it is fire that is in that.
I mean, and God bless it, normally, I mean, for millennia, that's how forests were rejuvenated, but it doesn't really work if you're in the middle of a tourist town.
Also, yeah, and that's the big thing there.
The big problem is that you have this theory about how the forest is going to naturally revive itself, which involves fire.
But it's not the natural forest anymore.
I mean, there isn't any part of Jasper that is as it was before first humans.
And I don't mean before first Europeans, before first whites, I mean before first humans.
There's no part of Jasper that is this idol about, you know, pre-human contact.
So you have to accept that we are part of the ecosystem now.
And particularly around the town site, you have to treat it as though it's a place where human beings live and work and recreate.
And so it's insane to have allowed these hectares, thousands of hectares of dry trees to just stand there.
And as soon as there was a lightning strike or whatever we're going to find out caused this fire, there was all these kilometer after kilometer after kilometer of perfect fuel for this fire.
And it just grew and grew and grew until it finally got into town.
And thankfully, when it got into town, you know, things are a little bit better managed there.
And it could only burn so much before it ran out.
And it's awful.
If it's your house that got burnt, if it's your small business that no longer exists, the one you've worked for your entire life, that is devastating.
Your world is gone.
I am not trying to downplay the impact of the damage this fire caused because in individual lives, it was horrific.
But it could have been maybe not prevented, but mitigated.
And the other thing that happened too is, and Premier Daniel Smith alluded to this yesterday in a news conference she had.
She said, look, we in Alberta have a lot of experience with wildfire now.
Over the last eight years since the Fort McMurray fire, we've developed the ability to fight fires at night.
We have night vision helicopters.
We can go in, we can keep working through the night to fight fires.
Parks Canada doesn't have that.
So these two fires were coming at Jasper from the north and the south.
And when it got dark, Parks Canada had to stop.
And in the morning, they pick it up again.
And then they find, but the fires had moved by the time they could pick them up again.
And the other thing Smith said is, look, in Alberta, we have the equipment to create giant walls of water in front of these giant walls of fire.
I don't know how that works.
And that was the first I'd heard of it.
But she said, we have the equipment and we have the staff who are experienced at using this.
And we've done it in wildfires around Alberta, and it has stopped the really big ones.
But Parks Canada didn't ask us to join in on that.
In fact, they were asking at her press conference yesterday to be included in the integrated fire control system that Parks Canada has, and they were not at.
So, you know, it's interesting.
When Smith phoned Prime Minister Trudeau and said, could you please send the military to help us out?
Everybody thought that it was Alberta's responsibility to fight the Jasper fire.
It's not.
As soon as it's in the national park, it's Parks Canada.
And Parks Canada would not ask Alberta to send its equipment and experience to do this.
So you know what's going to happen.
You and I can predict this right here, right now.
There will be an investigation and climate change will be blamed.
You know what?
I'm about 90 seconds ahead of you.
I just searched on my phone for a tweet that came two days ago and it stuck in my mind.
This is from a liberal MP who really is an unknown MP, but he's named Eric Kushmirchik.
He's the liberal MP from Windsor, Tecumseh.
And here's what he tweeted: he said, President Joe Biden tonight called climate change the existential threat.
We see it in Jasper as hearts break for Albertans.
We pledge support.
Get folks safe, but let's also be real with each other.
This is the world that climate-denying conservatism will leave our children.
There it is.
A liberal MP, he's got a, hey, we really care.
Hey, I've never been to Jasper.
I couldn't find it on a map.
I've never been to Alberta.
I sort of hate Albertans because you guys are right-wing, but let me just say, get folks safe.
You guys say folks a lot out there, right?
Okay, now that I've had a perfunctory get folks safe, let me use climate-denying climate change, climate existential threat.
Super gross.
I took a screenshot of this because I thought they would order him to take it down.
No, this is their talking point.
I know it justifies everything that Canadians are now getting their backs up against.
You've probably talked about this already, but last week, the Fraser Institute conducted a study, released a study where it estimated that the cost of the liberal green mandates, electric vehicles, net zero power grids, and on and on and on, the cost to an average Canadian family by about 2035 is going to be $6,700 a year.
That's how expensive these are.
And so they have to find a way to, you know, people are backing away from buying EVs.
There was an announcement just this morning that an EV battery plant in eastern Ontario costs about $3 billion is now being put on hold indefinitely, probably forever, because the market's just not there.
So they have all of these cultish environmental goals that they still support, that they're still obsessed with, and they have to justify it.
And one of the ways they're going to try and justify all of this is to say, look, look, see how bad Jasper was?
See how bad Lytton BC was in 2021?
See how awful Fort McMurray was back in 2016?
Waterton National Parks in 2007, which most people forget about, had a very similar sort of fire.
It came towards the town.
It destroyed part of the town.
But it's again because of Parks Canada's refusal to thin out the forests, to manage the forest, because that's not the natural way.
That's not the eco way.
So that's what I think is largely responsible for the Jasper fire.
And it's interesting because there's a deputy minister, a retired deputy minister from Alberta, who's writing in the Edmonton Journal today, who says exactly the same thing.
He said, we begged them for years to deal with this because we could see that it was going to start all sorts of major forest fires.
There was a 2018 study by two longtime forest consultants in BC, who both of whom are quite green in their beliefs, but they both said in 2018, you're going to have what they called a mega fire if you don't do something about this.
And they said it would be a catastrophe.
Well, their prediction has come true.
You know what?
I'm not sure how dark their hearts are.
It wouldn't surprise me if some gurus and strategists in the Liberal Party said, we want a mega fire as the final proof point, as the final talking point.
I mean, this tweet I read to you by a liberal from Ontario, it feels a little bit like the Westboro Baptist Church.
I don't know if you remember about 20 years ago, those guys would send protesters to the funerals of soldiers with signs saying things like God hates fags.
This is what the signs would say.
And they would like have protests at human funerals for soldiers.
Like they were so gross.
They would like celebrate the funerals.
When I see liberals with orgasmic glee talking about climate change, whenever there's human suffering, I get the same creepy vibe.
I don't know.
I'm glad you say there's not any reports of death or injury.
That's good.
And I'm glad that iconic places like the Jasper Park Lodge can be saved.
I just hope that these fires can be put out quickly.
And it's not, you know, they will come.
Fires will come.
They must come.
They will come.
And I get the feeling that it was exactly as you diagnose it.
You had a bunch of.
As enormous as the Fort McMurray fire was in 2016, it is still not the largest forest fire in modern Alberta history.
That was one in the 1950s up in the northwest corner of the province where there wasn't much population at the time.
And they hadn't even started an awful lot of oil and gas exploration up there at that point.
So there was nothing for many hundreds of kilometers.
And it was about 40% bigger than the Fort McMurray fire.
You know, it happens.
And to his great credit, Tristan Hopper at the National Post did a survey of what's called fire history in the Canadian forests last year and found that prior to 1900, forests in Canada burnt at a much higher rate and consumed much more land of like forest mass than they do now.
And that human settlement into the forests has actually made them burn far less.
But this, I think, we're going to find if we're very honest about it, was human caused.
It was caused by the bureaucratic eco-mentality at Parks Canada.
Right.
Israel Solidarity Mission00:01:24
Well, listen, great to catch up with you on this.
Thanks for giving us the inside track.
Again, folks, the column is called Jasper Blaze Exposes Possible Flaws in Parks Canada Wildfire Strategy.
And that's in the Edmonton Sun.
Great to see you, my friend.
thanks for taking the time.
I don't know if you remember, but a year ago, we had a wonderful trip to Israel where we took dozens of our most enthusiastic rebel viewers.
It was a beautiful utopian time when Israel had a peace agreement with a bunch of Arab countries.
And we went to Israel for a week.
And then we went to the United Arab Emirates.
And it was so hopeful and wonderful.
I loved it.
And we came back, and then a month and a half later, the Hamas terrorist attack that's thrown the whole region into flames.
Well, we're going back.
We're having another Israel trip.
But this time, it's an Israel solidarity mission to look at Israel and to be where Hamas attacked and to learn what happened and to help.
It's not going to be a fun trip, but it'll be a meaningful trip.
It'll be an eye-opening trip, an educational trip, a trip that you'll never forget.
So please consider joining Avi Yamini, Joel Pollock, and myself for the Israel solidarity mission that's coming up in November.
