Ezra Levant unpacks the bizarre Windsor trial of Cody D’Entremont (aka Desiree Anderson), a biological male acquitted of sexual assault after shelter staff admitted him to a female room under transgender policies, despite no DNA evidence and his lawyer’s claims. D’Entremont’s erratic identity shifts—from male to female to "cat"—and prior bail violations raise questions about credibility, yet media like CBC Windsor downplayed the case, avoiding pronouns or his cat claim, while local outlets ignored it entirely. Levant ties this to Justin Trudeau’s influence on coverage and contrasts it with Natty Lynn 2.0’s backlash for reporting beach defecation on Wasaga Beach, where she faced harassment accusations, police intimidation, and platform censorship despite no direct evidence linking her claims to a specific group. Both cases expose tensions between free speech, political correctness, and how vulnerable communities are shielded from scrutiny—even when actions contradict their protections. [Automatically generated summary]
Tonight, a man residing at a woman's shelter in Windsor was recently acquitted of a sexual assault charge.
But the question arises, why wasn't the most important element of this story ever addressed in the trial?
It's Tuesday, August 27th, 2024.
I'm David Menzies, and this is the Ezra Levent Show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
Tonight's edition of the Ezra LeVent Show is brought to you by the letter C. C is for Cody, and C is for cat, and C is for creepy.
C is also for court.
And when it comes to a verdict rendered in a recent Windsor sexual assault case, C is for crappy.
Well, at least in my humble opinion, I'll get to the nitty-gritty a little later.
As for that aforementioned Cody, I speak of a downright disturbing individual whose birth name is Cody Dentremont.
Well, he sometimes goes by that moniker, and sometimes he uses the alias of Desiree Anderson.
He uses the Desiree alias when Cody is identifying as a she rather than a he.
Lovely.
By the way, folks, check out this mugshot of Cody when he was passing himself off as Desiree.
Definition Of Woman00:15:16
Does the person you're now looking at resemble anything even remotely female?
I guess these days femininity is in the eye of the beholder, but I'm old school, you see.
When I look upon a person with facial hair and an Adam's apple, well, in the words of Austin Powers.
I've got an idea.
Why on earth did you hit that woman?
Right, let me show you, baby.
That ain't no woman.
It's a man-man.
Oh, and by the way, that photo of Cody is some 16 months old.
It really needs to be updated.
That's because Desiree is now sporting a goatee.
Oh, Juliet, Juliet, wherefore art thou?
And I know what you're thinking, folks.
Wasn't the bearded lady part of a traveling circus freak show back when Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey were still in business?
Now, no wonder the circus conglomerate went out of business in 2016.
I mean, how do you sell tickets for the beleaguered bearded lady and lobster boy when the freak meter is off the charts these days, thanks to the rank and file participants marching in trans pride parades?
Indeed, planet Earth is now a 24-7 circus, methinks.
And of course, since we reside in such baffling times, I must ask a fundamental question.
What is a lady?
What is a woman?
Because when it comes to womanhood, the uber progressive left these past few years has had a very, very difficult time indeed defining the word woman.
Oh, and I'm not talking about some garden variety imbecile, mind you.
I'm talking about the likes of, well, how about the very learned U.S. Supreme Court Judge Kachani Jackson Brown?
Remember this surreal QA session in 2022 when Brown was being queried by Senator Marshall Blackburn?
Can you provide a definition for the word woman?
Can I provide a definition?
No.
Yeah.
I can't.
You can't?
Not in this context.
The meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can't give me a definition.
Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes.
If there's a dispute about a definition, people make arguments and I look at the law and I decide.
So I'm not.
The fact that you can't give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about.
You know, the other day somebody asked me, what's the sum of one plus one?
And I said, oh, I'm sorry.
I'm not a mathematician.
Unbelievable.
Oh, by the way, it's not just the U.S. Supreme Court that has a monopoly on gender identity lunacy.
Consider Canadian Supreme Court Justice Sheila L. Martin.
She's also very uncomfortable with the word woman, even though she is one, I think.
Justice Martin made headlines for all the wrong reasons earlier this year when she argued that a more appropriate term for the female of the species is, quote, person with a vagina, end quote.
Person with a vagina.
How would you like to have your fate decided by this kook?
Terrifying.
Oh, and not to be a nitpicker here, but in light of gender benders such as Cody Dentremont slash Desiree Anderson, what descriptor would Justice Martin use for a trans woman, aka a man pretending to be a woman?
Let me guess, person with a mangina?
Geez, pass me a tequila, Sheila.
Actually, make it a double.
By the way, does anyone else think that it is somewhat perversely amusing that the term woman is suddenly back in fashion big time?
It happened on the precise date of July 21st of this year.
That's when sleepy Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, making way for the coronation of Kamala Harris.
Poor hubby.
Poor hubby.
You know, why do I get a profound sense of deja vu whenever the vice president is in full giggling mode?
You know, maybe it has something to do with these characters.
Make those messages clear.
Make those messages clear.
Anyway, just look at the fawning press Kackaline Kamala is getting these days.
Suddenly, she is potentially historic.
She might just become America's first woman president.
And what's more, a woman of color, no less, given that Kamala is black.
Well, sometimes she's black, other times she's South Asian.
I guess she's racially fluid, or her identity politics depend on who the audience is at the time.
But the point is, much like floral print dresses, suddenly the term woman is back in fashion for the summer of 24.
Funny that.
Anyway, back to Cody Dentremont, aka Desiree Anderson.
I was in Windsor last week to take in his or her two-day trial for sexual assault.
Oh, yes, you see, apparently the ostensible policy reason for Cody Dentremont reimagining himself as Desiree Anderson was to gain admission into the female section of the welcome center, a Windsor shelter.
And since the welcome center is committed to that unholy trinity of diversity, equity, and inclusion, staff welcomed this female fraudster into the shelter.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
Yeah, this woman is certainly not a person with a vagina, that's for sure.
But that's the thing when it comes to transgenderism these days, isn't it?
Whatever it is you say you are, well, that's what you are.
Maybe Cody claimed his penis identifies as a vagina.
Hey, that's good enough for the loony leftists these days.
Besides, we mustn't hurt the feelings of a wackadoodle transgender.
That would be more criminal than potentially putting vulnerable real women at risk.
Yes, it's equal parts gross and despicable.
And so much for the caveat that public safety trumps all else.
And so it was that when Cody took up residence in the female section of the shelter, he allegedly sexually assaulted a real bona fide biological woman and was eventually charged with sexual assault.
Golly, no one saw that one coming, I guess, eh?
Now, before I go on, I must point out there is a publication ban regarding this case, which is to say I cannot report the name of the complainant nor report any details that might identify her.
In any event, I found the two-day trial downright disturbing.
Even though I've been a journalist for almost 40 years now, I've never actually covered a sexual assault case before.
And I was shocked by how graphic the testimony was.
Since this is not an X-rated show, I won't delve into the real nitty-gritty disturbing details that the complainant delivered when she spoke of the alleged rape that took place on March 23rd, 2023.
By the way, going back to 1983 with the passing of Bill C-127, the charge of rape was officially expunged from the Criminal Code of Canada.
Now alleged violators are charged with sexual assault.
I think this is a big mistake.
I mean, what is sexual assault?
That could mean the victim was merely groped as opposed to being forced into enduring non-consensual sex.
The point is, sexual assault is way too ambiguous and it dilutes the horror of rape.
In any event, during the first day of the trial, the complainant, who was sometimes moved to tears while on the stand, described what happened to her at the welcome center on that day of March 23rd.
She alleged that Cody, who was allowed to share her room, directed unwanted sexually obscene remarks toward her as Cody applied his makeup.
She tried ignoring him, but he later approached her bed.
She was laying down that night watching a Netflix show on her tablet.
She claimed Cody began making unwelcome advances.
Then he allegedly groped her.
She would repeatedly move his hand away and yell, no.
But Cody, according to her testimony, refused to take no for an answer.
What followed next, she claimed, was Cody pulled down her pajama pants.
Then she says she was briefly, albeit brutally raped.
I'll spare you all the horrific details, except to say that the complainant testified that Cody penetrated her almost immediately, climaxed, and was not wearing a condom.
Keep in mind that Cody in 2023 was identifying as the phony female Desiree.
So why was this dude who was identifying as a female allegedly still sexually attracted to real females?
Was it a matter of Cody not only reimagining himself as female, but also embracing the sexual orientation of lesbian?
It's also terribly confusing, wouldn't you say?
Another thing I'd like to point out here is this.
I think it's tragic that cameras are not allowed in Canadian courtrooms because as the complainant went through her downright harrowing and horrific testimony, Cody, sequestered in the prisoner's box and clad in a brown hoodie, conveyed a look of utter smugness.
He smirked, he scoffed, he rolled his eyes, and he placed his hand on his chin in such a way that it looked as though he was displaying his middle finger directly toward his accuser.
I was truly shocked by what he was able to get away with.
But this would appear to be another case of transgenders not having equal rights, but rather extra special rights.
In any event, when the 34-year-old Cody took the stand, we got to learn a thing or two about him.
For example, he moved to Windsor from Nova Scotia four years ago in order to see his birth mom.
Oddly, mother doesn't have a whole lot of love for her son.
That's because since the day he arrived in Windsor, Cody testified that he's been homeless.
So much for that chestnut of a mother's love being unconditional.
Or could it be that his mother is a little afraid of him?
I don't know.
Alas, these questions and so many other pertinent questions were never asked when Cody was being cross-examined.
And a little more on that later.
And here's an e-slapper for you.
When asked what he does for a living, Cody said he's a psychic.
Quote, I tell fortunes and stuff, end quote.
Let me ask you, folks, does Cody Detremont strike you as the sort of individual you would hire to get psychic advice?
And given that he is homeless, what was his business plan exactly?
Does he approach idling motors at a stoplight, much like a squeegee kid, except that rather than carrying around a squeegee, he sports a crystal ball?
In any event, I don't think the amazing Crescent has anything to worry about.
But when he did take the stand, Cody denied every allegation leveled against him.
Since there was no video surveillance, nor were there any eyewitnesses that day, the case boiled down to a he said, she said matter.
I must point out that when the accused and the accuser were cross-examined by the Crown and Cody's legal aid lawyer, yep, folks, your tax dollars hard at work yet again, no detail was left untouched.
Did the alleged sexual assault happen in room 101 or was it room 103?
Did Cody allegedly use his left hand or his right hand when he allegedly began groping the complainant and on and on it went.
But I found it nothing short of astonishing that the elephant in the room was never addressed, not once, by either the legal aid lawyer nor the crown, nor even the judge.
And the metaphorical pachyderm I speak of is this.
Why in blue hell was the biological male Cody Dentremont sleeping in a room that was occupied by vulnerable, real female residents at the welcome center in the first place.
I mean, isn't this the crux of the matter?
That a man pretended to be a female in order to gain access to real females.
And instead of being told no, the welcome center welcomed Cody, kind of like allowing the fox to have a sleepover in the chicken coop.
It is unbelievable and downright shameful.
By the way, I should point out that when Cody was sworn in, the name he used was indeed his birth name, Cody Dentremont.
But hey, wait a second.
Crux Of The Matter00:06:35
Isn't that his dead name now?
I mean, what the hell happened to Desiree Anderson?
Did he transition back again?
Or is this what the Rainbow Mafia refers to as being gender fluid?
You know, sometimes he's a dude, sometimes he's a chick with a dick.
Hey, after dinner, maybe he will be identifying as a Westinghouse toaster oven.
Goodness knows anything goes.
But again, don't you think that this was worthy of exploring?
Apparently not.
Another observation, it was perversely amusing to see how many pronouns were being used by the lawyers and the judge.
He, him, she, her, they, them.
It was all over the map.
And you know, I don't think there was anything nefarious or cheeky afoot here.
Rather, we're all human.
And no matter how woke one is, it's kind of hard to refer to a man sporting a goatee as a she, her, wouldn't you say?
Another baffling thing, Detremont's legal aid lawyer, Mario Naboo, often referred to him as Des, short for Desiree.
Yet, as I previously mentioned, Des swore himself in as Cody Detremont.
Good golly, Miss Molly, even more confusion.
Oh, and to add to this ongoing confusion, I left out a key point of Cody's transitioning history.
That's because after he was arrested by Windsor police in April of 2023, Cody began identifying as a cat.
No, you heard me correctly.
Cody went from male to female to feline.
Whether Cody was a female pussycat or a tomcat, well, you got me on that one, folks.
You know, I wish I was making all this up, but I'm not.
In fact, when I ventured to Windsor last summer, I was able to interview a resident of the welcome center who told me that when she last heard about Cody, he had indeed morphed from a transgender into a trans species here.
Check it out.
Is it a matter of political correctness, wokeism?
You should make a shelter for people that are indifferent.
As well, some shelter employees took the stand at Dentremont's trial last week.
They testified that they found the complainant in a distraught state on the day of the alleged rape.
They described her as panicked, emotional, crying, and in distress.
The employees consoled her and offered her any assistance she might require.
Well, you know, at least those welcome center employees seem to be displaying a little empathy, quite a change of pace, I would say, based on my visit to the welcome center last summer, in which two employees confronted me and my camera woman.
They seemed way more concerned about the misgendering of Cody/slash Desiree slash Sylvester than the sexual assault that had allegedly taken place at the shelter back in the springtime.
Here, check it out.
How does a biological male get into a female shelter, man?
Yeah, it was a transgender woman.
So that's my only comment that I'm going to say about that.
Okay, but at the end of the day, that's a man, right?
Transgender woman.
But don't you see that there is an inherent danger?
That's my only comment.
She's a transgender woman, so we take trans women here because they are women.
So we just find it is egregious and outrageous that you're essentially letting the fox into the hen house, a biological male, with women who.
Well, let's face it, this is a safe space for real women.
And you don't have a problem with that.
It's not that.
We also do have male clients here as well, if they're a part of a family unit.
But when it comes to transgender women, they are still women.
And we take things very seriously when things happen to our clients and we go from there.
But we do support trans women still, regardless in general.
So I'm not going to comment on this anymore.
Okay.
Because there is, I am uncomfortable that you guys are filming here.
Okay.
Regardless of you guys being on public property, respectfully, I think you guys just need to carry on.
Thank you for watching.
Thank you.
Well, you're in a public place.
No, I'm actually at my workplace, but please don't film me.
Well, there's no expectation of privacy in an open place like this.
We're going to have to call the police.
Okay, for standing on a sidewalk?
Don't film me.
Thank you.
Okay, but you approached us, you interrupted us.
I'm approaching you because you're filming my clients and our property.
No, we're not filming your clients.
You're quite wrong about that.
And what's your opinion of a biological man staying with biological feed?
Wow.
You know, this is another example of how 20-something women, I think, are the biggest threat to biological women at large.
They have been indoctrinated into actually believing that so-called trans women are real women.
And so it is that it is now open season on female shelters and female prisons and female sports leagues.
I truly believe these are really self-hating women.
I should also note, folks, that the only other media in attendance for the trial was a reporter with CBC Windsor.
I guess the Windsor Star and the Windsor radio stations and other Windsor media thought it was just one big nothing burger, completely unworthy of coverage, which is really odd because when Dentremont was originally arrested, this story received international media coverage.
But then again, in Canada, the mainstream media is funded by Justin Trudeau, who is all in when it comes to radical transgenderism.
So maybe it's best not to make waves with reportage that might offend the Jonathan Yanives of the world.
Jeez, what cowards?
What who's.
But predictably, the CBC story also avoided addressing the transgendered elephant in the room.
And it avoided any mention of pronouns.
Cody's Credibility Controversy00:08:49
Cody slash Desiree was simply referred to as Dentremont.
And as a person, clearly it was a little too third rail for the state broadcaster to delve into the potential motive of a man pretending to be a woman in order to reside in a female shelter space.
And of course, absolutely no mention of Cody's transition into a cat.
But talk about burring the lead.
It is these details, I would argue, that make this particular sexual assault case stand out from any other sexual assault case currently being heard in any other jurisdiction in the world.
Now, on day two of the trial, closing arguments were made.
Detremont's lawyer, Mr. Naboo, made the case that his client was clear and concise in his denial about the assault that allegedly happened that day.
He also claimed that the complainant has serious credibility issues and that she tried to backtrack and reword what she had previously said.
As well, he noted that when the complainant's pajama bottoms underwent forensic analysis, there was no trace of Dentremont's DNA.
The Crown Attorney, Aniko Coughlin, argued that the complainant was credible and reliable and was responsive to the questions asked of her.
Furthermore, any inconsistencies in her testimony were minor and were reasonable and understandable due to the emotional distress that she endured.
Now, personally speaking, the lack of Dentremont's DNA on the complainant's pajama bottoms would appear to be a red flag, but then again, it wasn't clear if the complainant had washed her pajamas before turning in the garment to law enforcement, which occurred more than a week later.
In the final analysis, Mr. Naboo made the point that there was reasonable doubt, and Madame Justice Sharon Murphy agreed.
And frankly, I'm still scratching my head regarding the judge's closing remarks.
Namely, she said that she had found the complainant credible, but that she did not find her to be reliable.
Now, I had to look up some case law to understand the difference here.
And here it is, according to the legal website, Alexi.com, quote, credibility and reliability are different concepts.
Credibility has to do with a witness's veracity, whereas reliability has to do with their ability to accurately observe, recall, and recount events in issue, end quote.
Truth be told, folks, I'm still scratching my head over the nuance here.
But regardless, Dentremont was acquitted.
By the way, some other relevant points regarding Mr. Cody Dentremont that were not touched upon during the trial.
For example, I made mention that until he had to testify, Detremont occupied the prisoner's box.
Now, why would that be?
Well, that's because that on January 28 of this year, Dentremont was charged with assault causing bodily harm and assault choking.
This obviously violated his bail conditions.
He hasn't been tried for those charges yet.
But I find it somewhat disturbing that either Dentremont is no stranger to violence or that he has enormous bad luck when it comes to people falsely accusing him of nefarious behavior.
And another thing, while the judge spoke of the complainant's credibility and reliability, what about the credibility and reliability of Cody Dentremont?
Detremont is a biological man with all of his male bits and pieces still firmly affixed, but he is claiming to be a woman.
Is this credible?
Could it be he is a man gaming the system as a means of gaining access to female shelter space?
Is that too much to ask?
Apparently, so.
And why would the staffers at the shelter allow him to reside with vulnerable real women?
Is this credible?
And what about Detremont's subsequent transitioning into another species, going from Homo sapiens to Felus catus?
Is that credible?
Well, I say no on all counts.
Look, I'm no psychiatrist here, but to me, the behavior of Cody Detremont slash Desiree Anderson slash the trans cat of Windsor are all tangible telltale indicators of somebody who is very likely batshite crazy.
Yet, because we reside in a woke joke biosphere, we dare not use the words transgender and insane in the same sentence, do we now?
Transgenders are special.
Transgenders are a protected class.
Heck, the Toronto Police Service now has a police cruiser painted in the trans colors that offers free rides to transgenders.
The Windsor Police, for that matter, has a male officer pretending to be a female, much to the chagrin of the rank and file.
But yet this transgendered officer is a paragon of diversity when it comes to the brass.
Meanwhile, the Paris Olympic Games just wrapped in which we had to stomach the obscenity that was mailboxers caving in the faces of female opponents.
And don't you dare complain about that, mind you, for you shall be labeled a hater or a bigot or even a transphobe.
And no label is worse than one suggesting transphobia.
In the final analysis, was there a reasonable doubt that Cody Dentremont brutally raped a vulnerable woman on March 23rd, 2023?
Maybe.
It was, after all, a he said, she said scenario.
But if I had been on the bench, I would have still have convicted this sick puppy, or is it a sick kitty?
Clearly, this man slash woman slash cat is a grifter.
Clearly, he is unstable.
Clearly, once upon a decade, this person would have been incarcerated in a rubber room right next to the guy believing himself to be Napoleon Bonaparte or Jesus Christ.
But no, it would appear that when it comes to transgenderism, there is this unspoken strategy afoot that is akin to that rule in baseball in which a tie always goes to the runner.
As I said, when it comes to transgenders, we are talking about a protected class of people.
Now, I will return to Windsor when Dentremont stands trial for assault causing bodily harm and assault choking.
I imagine this trial will prove equally fascinating for all the wrong reasons.
But in the meantime, let me conclude with the most pertinent question, aside perhaps from where oh, where are the feminists?
And that question is this.
When it comes to these gender-bending grifters who are clearly gaming the system for their own wicked fulfillment, who do you have more contempt for?
The grifters or the gatekeepers?
In other words, those persons who refuse to do the right thing because of the ideological noose around their necks that is political correctness.
People Defecating at Beach00:15:41
Well, folks, it's somewhat hard to believe, but going by the view counts alone, one of the biggest stories this summer was our report about certain tourists going to Wasaga Beach, Ontario, not to just take in the sights.
mind you, but also to leave something very odious behind, which is to say some people have been defecating.
Yes, that's right, defecating on the beach.
Now, the original whistleblower regarding this disturbing trend was Wissasauga Beach resident Natty.
She took to TikTok to call out this truly disgusting behavior occurring down at the beach.
But in the aftermath, Natty has been targeted with some calling her racist.
That's because Natty reported that the people she observed doing the defecation are primarily those from the East Indian community.
Uh-oh, cue the outrage.
Indeed, apparently her reporting was tantamount to committing a thought crime.
For example, Natty actually received a visit by a constable with the Ontario Provincial Police.
Somebody called in about somebody posting things on TikTok about East Indians defecating on the beach.
And then last Sunday, the front page story in the Toronto Star was all about this particular issue.
But instead of calling out the perpetrators, the star decided to, well, shoot the messenger, implying that calling out such sordid behavior is, yes, you guessed it, racist, unbelievable.
And joining me now from Nova Scotia to try and make sense of it all is Natty herself.
Hey, Naddy, thank you very much for making time for me.
How you doing there in Nova Scotia?
I'm doing good.
It's a good little getaway and a break from everything that's been going on.
So I'm thankful I got out here with my family.
Well, I'm happy to hear that.
Natty, I read the Toronto Star piece.
I thought it was a shameful story.
I thought it was an outright hit piece.
What did you make of it?
Actually, there's a lot more to this story than just that article that was written.
I knew that that was going to be her, like what she wanted to go along with for the article.
I already kind of sniffed that out when she was trying to interview me.
But I'm not surprised if I could say that, because given how she interviewed me and the way she was speaking to me, I already picked up on her narrative and I defined the interview for that reason because I already see which direction it was going.
Yeah, you know, and I think that's really bad journalism.
go into a story not with an open mind but with a narrative that you're going to uh prove regardless of what the facts have to say and netty i'm sorry but you have seen this happen uh based on where you used to live in wasauga beach And we have spoken to current and past bylaw officers.
We have spoken to our communities in the Indian community, as a matter of fact.
They say this is happening.
And what's more, you can go online.
There is no shortage of videos showing people in India doing that on beaches.
So I'm not suggesting there's some kind of a racial component that, you know, here necessarily.
It's more of a cultural behavior, I would argue.
And some of the people coming over here are bringing that cultural behavior to Canada.
And it shouldn't be tolerated, especially as you've pointed out.
There are public bathrooms within, you know, meters of the sandy beaches of Wasauga Beach.
Yeah, there's more than enough facilities for people to use.
There's no excuse to the behavior.
And I'll keep saying this and I've continued to say it.
Everyone's going there with the intention of doing it.
It's just there's been a lot of back and forth on social media.
I'm not sure if I told you about the truckers.
I just want to make this clear so people also see this.
There was a lot of back and forth about white men using truck stops and peeing against their truck in the parking lot in comparison to what was happening at the beach.
I have like men from that community tagging me saying, oh, come get your uncle, come get your dad.
Are you not going to call this behavior out?
And it's crazy that people aren't deciphering the fact of defecating on a beach where families go and where children play and comparing it to an empty parking lot that truckers use.
So that's a big one I'm dealing with right now.
And it's baffling to me.
They don't understand the difference.
They think it's all classed as one, but it's not.
Yeah, it's certainly not the same scenario, I would argue.
And I mean, you also mentioned too, and this is disturbing, people burying soil diapers on the beach.
I mean, for goodness sakes, that is a health hazard to the point where I think you mentioned to me before, Natty, that some mothers wouldn't let their toddlers dig on the beach in case of coming out with a very disturbing surprise.
But, you know, what I also find amazing about the star piece is that they go out of their way to quote somebody from the anti-hate network.
And if you know anything about the history of the anti-hate network, they're all about hate, but hate directed at some specific groups.
And the idea of them saying that, you know, hatred against the Indian community is one of the biggest issues right now when for 10 months we've seen the pro-Hamas people chanting for genocide on the streets of our great dominion.
I mean, it's a bit much to take.
But tell me, Nadie, as I alluded to in the introduction, a police officer actually got on this case, not to investigate anyone defecating on the beach, but what was it?
To visit your house and find out why you posted that TikTok video?
Yeah, the whole point of the police coming to my house, I think, was a scare tactic.
From the messages I was receiving on TikTok to the things that people were saying to me, actually, um, I think that that happened the day after I called out the mayor for calling me a liar and um calling the hundreds of people in my comments talking about their own experiences, saying they're liars, there's no proof.
Like, am I not more than enough if I'm saying this?
I'm saying it for a reason.
And um, that was the police came the day after I called out the mayor.
And I don't think that's a coincidence.
I think it was a stop talking about me before I make this bigger than it should be.
So, I think that was just a scare tactic.
And I'm like, there's crime in Wasaga Beach.
Um, I think there's something else you could be doing besides harassing a single mom with three kids.
Like, I was busy, I even burnt my lunch because they came to the door.
And I'm like, I recorded it.
I'm just like, why are you guys harassing me?
Like, a waste of taxpayer money, if you ask me.
Yeah, what did the police officer say to you exactly, Naddy?
Um, when he told me that he received a phone call that I was harassing South Asian, oh no, East Indian, sorry, the South Asian was what the sun said about me.
These people are just talking out their behinds.
Okay, um, that was the um, I got it confused with the Toronto Sun.
That's what they said I did.
But then I was told by the officer that I was harassing East Indians.
I never specified a direction, okay?
My statements were broad and to the point.
You see my TikTok?
I was on like the radio show, I spoke on my experiences.
It's Natty Lynn 2.0, Natty, Natty Lynn 2.0.
I personally have not had any calls for this type of behavior on the beach.
Yeah, um, from what my understanding, it's actually these actual incidents happened some time ago.
No, it's been recently.
I never called out a single community of from India or Sikhs or anything like that that people are making it out to me.
I wasn't the one that's setting up any of that.
Um, but that's what the police said.
You received a phone call that you were on TikTok harassing East Indians.
That's incredible.
There was no talk of any charges, and you know, I can't even imagine what the charges would be.
Although, you know, you never know.
Yeah, well, you know, we do have the most censorious legislation in the history of the Western world, Bill C68, pending approval.
So, um, that hasn't been passed yet.
But I almost find that as like an eerie example of intimidation.
I mean, you're a young single mother, and here's this cop coming to your house and saying we're getting complaints.
It just seems to me that there are far better things for law enforcement to get concerned over than that.
But you know, Nanny, we need to make the point.
You hardly, you know, match the profile of a white supremacist.
You are indigenous, are you not?
Yes, I am.
I am First Nations.
It's crazy what people are saying.
And it's funny, they're just speaking like to speak.
It's like I just came up with this new kind of saying I was talking about.
I'm like, a lot of you have your eyes, your eyes are open, but your mouths are closed.
And some of you need to close your mouth and open your eyes.
Yeah, no, good point.
And you know, from years ago, I can't remember what year exactly, but the Canadian government was funding these posters.
It was for an African nation, and it had a pictograph, you know, basically the universal no/slash to somebody in a squatting position, basically saying in graphics, don't defecate on the beach.
So we know that this is a problem in certain nations.
But you know, what I see happening here by the usual suspects, especially on the left, this is the very epitome of political correctness, isn't it?
That if the truth is hurtful or offensive to some people, you should self-censor yourself and not say it.
That's what the vibe I'm getting, Naddy, when I see the reaction, especially from those on the left, to your postings.
Yeah, that's honestly what I've been seeing too.
People are going as far as saying, like, they said that I was a far right and I don't keep up with politics.
So I didn't know what that meant.
So my dad explained it to me.
And then I'm like, well, if that means you're on the right side of things, I guess that's what I am.
But I don't keep up with politics.
I'm just me.
It's like, if I see something wrong or something bothering me or something that is affecting a lot of people that are too scared to stand up, I'm going to use my voice and I'm going to stand up.
I've been thanked so many times by so many people for talking about the things that I'm now talking about on my platform because we've been conditioned as Canadians to sit back and watch things completely spiral and not say a thing about it because we're polite.
We're too nice.
But, you know, eventually everybody gets to a breaking point.
And I think I just hit mine.
And a lot of people are thankful for that fact.
But I believe in standing up for things that are right.
And I think we've been pushed around for far too long.
And it's just now it's a matter of like whether it's not whether or not you're right or wrong.
I think it's just we have to really take a stand and just stand up for what's right.
Nothing's going to change if we don't speak up and say what's wrong.
And you know, Naddy, I see these stickers that are put up in certain places by law enforcement that basically say, see something wrong, report it.
They want to report it as opposed to, you know, silencing yourself.
And here you report something and you get a visit from an OPP constable admonishing you for hurting the feelings of certain people incredibly.
And from the political element, I mean, I think the mayor of Mississauga, sorry, Wisauga Beach, he reminds me of the mayor from Jaws.
You know, he's being told by the sheriff that there's a 20-foot great white shark near the beach.
But let's not say anything.
We got the 4th of July weekend coming up.
This will be bad for tourism.
And at one point, I think it was a couple of weeks, good golly, even Premier Ford weighed in on people defecating on the beach.
Tell me, Naddy, when you made that TikTok posting, did you ever dream that it was going to cause such a reaction?
No, no, honestly, that wasn't my intention.
I was just, where I was coming from was a place in my heart.
I wasn't rude or racist.
I said everything as nice as possible, considering everything I had seen and went through.
But for Doug Ford to talk about it, it was very funny to me because if this wasn't such a big issue, why were the tents banned right away?
Why did the premier know about it?
I heard that the mayor was on vacation at the time.
I think they said that.
And the other woman, the people in the town are outraged because the lady that was supposed to be in place of the mayor didn't step up and defend the beach or say anything.
She just chose to stay silent.
So there's also that going on, along with now they've posted about Doug Ford speaking about it.
And I never imagined this at all, but I feel like people need to look at the bigger picture and say, I'm not lying about any of this because if it's gone as far as it did, I think my videos would have been shut down after day one of it going viral if this was not an issue.
People are interacting with it.
They know what's happening.
The big people don't want people to know what's happening because money, it's a tourist town.
They cannot risk it.
And Natty, we did reach out twice, I believe, to the town of Wasaga Beach, never heard a reply.
But you mentioned something very significant for those who haven't been following the story.
You mentioned tents, and there's this allegation that some people are pitching tents, and that's where they do their business and then bury it afterwards.
And there was a bylaw passed, I believe, and going by memory, where it was about banning tents, but it was a toothless tiger because the beach itself is provincial parkland.
And as I understand it, shortly after this brouhaha erupted, didn't the town of Wasaga Beach pass a motion asking the provincial parks people to enforce the tent ban bylaw?
And Natty, that makes me ask, well, Mr. Mayor, you said there's no problem, but now you want the tents removed.
Why Did It Go to the Commons?00:02:13
Why?
If there's no problem, and why so quickly?
And why did it go up to a higher level?
I'm not sure.
See, I don't know about the government and politics, but that big house of people, you know, where they all vote.
And I don't know what it's called.
Oh, the legislature.
The House of Commons, the House of Commons.
It went to that.
So if this was just somebody saying one thing online and having there was nothing to back it up, why did it go to the House of Commons for the bill to be passed for the tents to be banned on the beach?
Netty, tell me, before you went off for a little break to Nova Scotia with your family, did you see anything in Wasaga Beach change because of all this publicity?
You know, did you see maybe people being more wary, especially, and I'm not trying to condemn everyone that brings a tent to the beach, but maybe a little more self-policing or what have you that might be influencing bad behavior occurring on the beach?
Like I've said, I have been avoiding the main end.
And especially since I did get so much exposure on this and the messages and stuff I've told you about that I received from those men and warnings to be careful.
I have not gone down to that part of the beach, but excuse me.
Sorry.
I have watched a live where the guy goes live on the beach and it looks the exact same.
There are still tents up, but I think the three-sided tents that we've seen.
So I think people are being more mindful of it, which it sucks that a few bad apples ruined it for everyone else.
But there are so many alternatives on the beach to use besides that.
So I feel like all in all, this was a positive change for the beach.
It'll be easier to keep it clean too, because you don't know if people put their garbage under the tents along with whatever they were doing.
And apparently, patrol has picked up on the beach.
So like more bylaw walking the beach and officers out there to enforce things on the beach.
That's just what I've heard from people.
TikTok Targeted: Account Reinstated00:02:49
Well, that's really good to hear because, you know, as you know, Natty, Wasaga Beach has claimed the fame.
It's the longest freshwater beach in the world.
It is a gem.
And we shouldn't be, whether it's litter or defecation, God forbid, we shouldn't be, you know, making this gem tarnished as the summer goes.
Exactly.
And also, bring us up to date because another very relevant thing about this story in terms of the backlash by some against you was that TikTok canceled your account.
And then I think they reinstated it and then they took it down again.
What is the status of your TikTok account right now, Nani?
Actually, I just got off another ban.
I was banned for it's and I emailed TikTok and they're like, We can't seem to find your account.
They banned me twice in one day, and that was two days ago that that happened to me.
Um, I have since created an X account, which I've gotten a good amount of followers on there now.
Nothing like my TikTok, but it's going to take time to build it.
But it is complete censorship because people are making accounts and telling everybody that's a part of those groups to go mass report my account.
And I have emailed TikTok saying I'm being targeted, literally, just for the color of my skin, because that's what it is, because it's a group of Indian people.
They actually made a page on Instagram for people to go mass report my lives.
If I'm just going live, talk about my day, or even if I comment something, they report my comments, even if it's a nice comment.
They're recording all my videos.
And I told TikTok, like, I'm being targeted.
And I feel like this app is really enabling that because people get excited when they see my accounts banned.
They're like, oh, we did it.
We did it.
And then you guys reinstate it on top of the mental stress that it causes me to know, like, look, I've worked hard for this and you guys can just take it away because of people's false accusations.
Why do I have to keep trying to email and contact you guys and tell you, hey, I'm being targeted?
You guys need to put a stop on these bans because you reinstate my account every time.
There is no violations.
So I think now it's just a matter of TikTok stepping up and being like, okay, you know, she is a victim and I am being targeted.
And I don't trust the app.
I don't at all.
You have no voice on there.
I think going over to X, I, you know, with Elon Musk, he's far more of a proponent of free speech.
So I think that's a good move.
But you know, it's another example, Natty.
I mean, you know, Ezra at the beginning of the year called 2024 the year of censorship.
And, you know, TikTok's behavior towards you is another indicator of that.
TikTok's Response Needed00:02:57
But, you know, I know it can be very stressful and you're a young mom, but you told me off camera you've emerged as a bit of a celebrity.
You've gone into a Walmart.
I think you said like 15 people came up to you.
They recognized you.
And no one's giving you aggro.
They're all applauding you.
Surely that's a good thing, wouldn't you say?
Yeah.
And like I've been saying, when I went into the store, I was going there.
It was the day before I left for my trip.
I just had to like get my cat some food before I went and stuff.
So it was only for little things.
And I had so many people stop me and be like, good job.
You're doing well.
Please be safe.
Please be careful.
People were praising me and saying thank you.
And like there was about like 20 other people that were just looking at me and smiling, like too shy to come up to me.
But of course, I scurried out at that point.
I had my kids with me.
Like I appreciated it, but I'm like, oh, my kids are with me.
What if someone takes a picture?
Like, there's also that mental like stress that comes with that.
Like, I do appreciate it.
And I'm most people support me.
I'd say the majority of people support me, but you have that 2% that, you know, that probably don't want me around.
Well, you know what, Natty?
I don't know who that 2% is.
As for me, I'm a big fan of civilization.
I'm a huge fan of sanitation, hygiene.
Oh, yeah.
And what normal person in their right mind, you know, has no problem with people defecating on a public beach.
It's disgusting.
It should be called out.
I think, as you said, the beach patrols have stepped up, which is a good thing.
I think that's going to cause a lot of people to think twice and they should think twice because, as we said earlier, you can go to a toilet that is within walking distance of the beach.
There is absolutely zero excuse for this.
Natty, let's wrap by this.
You're in Nova Scotia.
I know Nova Scotia has some beautiful beaches.
Please tell me, you haven't seen anyone defecating on those beaches, have you?
Oh, gosh, no.
We went to the beach, beautiful white sand beach.
People had tents.
People were barbecuing.
Not one piece of trash left behind.
No tents for outhouses.
Like it was a totally different scene to be here.
And I felt like I was in the Caribbean on a vacation.
You know what I mean?
They keep it so clean and respectful.
It's just whoever decides to visit the beaches and make them really gross.
Well, you know what?
That's what it is.
At the end of the day, it's about respect.
It's having respect for yourself as a human being.
And it's having respect for a public beach that is used by thousands of people during the season.
And there is, like I said, zero excuse for such despicable and disgusting and, well, borderline dangerous behavior if people come into contact with that substance.
Natty, thank you so much for your time.
We'll continue to watch your reports and you stay safe out there, my friend.
