Ezra Levant’s episode exposes Canada’s two-tiered policing, where pro-Hamas protesters chanting "death to Jews" and mocking figures like Yahya Sinwar face no consequences despite violating public order laws, while counter-demonstrators—including Levant (five arrests in 11 months)—are aggressively detained. Guests David Menzies and Sue Ann Levy blame officials like Mayor Olivia Chow and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for enabling anti-Semitism, citing police inaction since October 7th’s Hamas attacks and the resettlement of 5,000 Gazans, many allegedly sympathetic to the group. The discussion warns that appeasement has backfired, fueling public outrage and demanding stricter enforcement, even deportations for hateful demonstrators. [Automatically generated summary]

Two-Tier Law Enforcement00:15:27
Tonight, it is hardly newsworthy to report that we have seen two-tier law enforcement in this country regarding the Hamas situation this past 13 months.
But I'm going to also offer a few solutions in how to deal with it.
It's Friday, November 29th, 2024.
I'm David Menzies, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
What has happened to law enforcement in Canada?
I.e., why was Officer Friendly replaced by the bad lieutenant?
Why is two-tier policing so commonplace?
Why is thuggery not penalized, but rather rewarded?
Why are the cops refusing to enforce the law?
And lastly, what can be done to fix this sordid situation?
I'll conclude this monologue with some suggested solutions.
But for starters, let's talk about the egregious situation at hand.
It goes back to October 7th, 2023.
Israel experienced the worst single-day slaughter of Jews post-Holocaust.
Almost 1,200 innocent people were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists.
More than 250 were kidnapped.
And in the aftermath, protests erupted on the streets of the Western world.
Oh no, the protesters were not showing solidarity with the victims, but rather they supported those on teen terror.
And it wasn't just ones and twos or dozens marching in the streets demanding more blood, but rather hundreds and hundreds of people.
It was downright jarring to witness.
Enraged reprobates calling for the further genocide of the Jewish people, even before the bodies of those who were massacred were cold.
I remember the first such protests in Toronto.
It occurred on Thanksgiving weekend.
I was planning on sitting down to enjoy a lovely turkey dinner expertly prepared by my beloved lady Menzoid.
I was hoping to toast this day with my friends and family members and to be thankful for what we are blessed with.
Instead, I had to bid a hasty farewell and make a retreat down to Nathan Phillips Square to observe a hate fest, the first of many to come, by people who loathe Jews, hate Canada, and despise Western values.
Looking at the lion's share of the rank and file anti-Semites, I pondered, how did we ever let so many of these people into our dominion in the first place?
And for the rest of the mob, a pathetic collection of young lily white progressives raised in our land of milk and honey, people who could not even point out Israel on a map, I was astonished by the sheer indoctrination of these useful idiots who were no doubt brainwashed by the Islamo-Marxist professors on campus.
They have been programmed to hate Canada.
They are woefully unaware that when it comes to the Islamists, as the saying goes, first it's the Jew, then it's you.
The sight of so many people denying the Holocaust as they try to engineer another one made for a punch to the gut.
Oh, I always knew anti-Semitism was a thing, mind you, but I had absolutely no idea regarding the sheer magnitude of Jew hatred.
And this virus would only spread in the months to come, all the way to such elected officials as Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish, and the big kahuna himself, Justin Trudeau.
Oh, and lest I forget, York Center Liberal MP Yara Sachs, Canada's number one self-hating Jew, someone who actually got cozy with pay-for-slave terrorist Mahmoud Abbas earlier this year.
Indeed, what is the price for Sachs, a Canadian-Israeli Jew no less, to sell out her own people?
Well, apparently, it's simply an all-expenses pay trip to the Middle East.
What a whoor.
But with the hate on the streets and in the inner sanctums of elective office, you would think that we could always depend on the boys in blue to do what they are employed to do, which is, of course, upholding the law.
The cops are supposed to be impartial.
They have sworn an oath to serve and protect.
But no, law enforcement in cities such as Toronto and Montreal and so many places elsewhere, well, it's gone the way of the stegosaurus when it comes to reining in the Islamo-Nazis.
The police even admit, when it comes to dealing with the violent Hamasholes, it's no longer about enforcing the law, but rather keeping the peace.
And what does keeping the peace actually mean?
Well, it means accommodating the Islamists.
It means turning a blind eye to chance for genocide, contrary to section 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
It means police officers reimagining themselves as Uber Eats drivers to deliver coffee and tinbits to the junior jihadis on cold days.
After all, we wouldn't want a new age Abdullah the Butcher to get chilly while chanting hatred, mind you.
Keeping the peace also means violently arresting peaceful counter-demonstrators such as Persian-Canadian freedom fighter Salman Seema, who once had the utter temerity of facing down the Hamas mob while waving a Canadian flag.
Poor Salmon, someone who was brutally tortured in his homeland of Iran.
When he was arrested that day, he must have thought, was he still residing in Tehran as opposed to Toronto?
And of course, when it comes to members of the independent, non-Trudeau funded media, well, we get arrested as well, merely on the suspicion that we might ask an insensitive question, which might further enrage the hateful mob.
Unbelievable.
Indeed, I've been arrested by the Toronto Police Service three times this year for merely covering these hate fests.
The charges are always thrown out in court, of course, whether it's obstruct police or trespassing.
But the process is the penalty, isn't it, folks?
The time and resources needed to go through the justice system to clear one's name.
But that's the strategy of the police brass because they know they have absolutely no case, but they'll get their pound of flesh, nevertheless.
But last Sunday, a new benchmark was achieved at the corner of Bathurst and Shepherd in terms of police corruption.
That's right, I said it, corruption.
My beloved boss in Canada's number one freedom fighter, Ezra Levant, was hoping to document a grotesque cosplay reenactment.
You see, on the east side of Bathurst Street, one of the Hamasholes was dressed up as Yaha Sinwar, the October 7th mastermind.
This scholar was perched on a bloody couch to reenact Sinoir's last day on earth before the IDF mercifully dispatched this terrorist to the great hereafter.
Ezra merely wanted to film this egregious display.
Ezra had no intention of interviewing the pro-Hamas thugs because really, what's the point?
But in Canada, the Hamas tail wags the law enforcement dog these days.
And the Hamas rank and file ordered the cops to arrest Ezra for the egregious crime of practicing journalism in a public place.
And yes, the cops complied yet again.
Check it out.
You just stand over here, okay?
I don't have to.
Canada is my free speech zone, sir.
Sir, I understand that, okay?
But you're violating that group is inciting the potentials for violence.
I haven't incited anything.
They have.
Your presence will obey them.
So again, here's where I want you to stand.
I know you want me to stand here, but you're not the law.
Well, I am the law.
No, you're not the law, sir.
You're asserting that the law is not the law.
So now if you want to interview anybody, they know they can come and talk to you.
I'm not interested in interviewing them.
Well, they want to show the people who are going to be able to do it.
What a coward you are, sir.
Run away, you little coward.
What a coward.
Holy Christ.
Caution for breaching the peace.
I already have.
I cautioned you.
I said to you before.
We were here last week, Mr. McDonald.
You had a designated area to stay in, and you agreed to stay in it.
I did not.
What are you talking about?
Well, absolutely.
Acting Inspector Ford told me they had a media area for you, and you guys stayed in it.
We did not.
We did not.
Well, because it's not up to him to say you have free speech there, but not here.
Well, yeah, because you're inciting this crowd and then it breaches the peace.
Well, your presence is inciting them, and that's exactly what you're trying to do.
Because I'm a Jew.
No, because you're trying to incite them.
I haven't tried to incite them.
I want you to take a picture of the hate crime that you're going to get.
You've done it on the other side.
You didn't need to walk over here.
No, I wanted to go out here.
Now I'm going to tell you to move over there.
And if you don't cross the road, you'll get arrested for breaching the peace.
That's good.
I'm not going to take that.
So you're refusing to leave?
I'm refusing to leave.
Why?
Because I'm a Jew, I'm a citizen, and I'm your boss.
And I don't leave because you say Jews aren't.
Well, you know what?
In the interest of keeping peace here and public safety, you're under arrest for breach of the peace.
Take a minute.
Take this.
Okay.
No way.
Thank you, sir.
Who in blue hell does that Jabroni think he is?
Judge Dredd?
Judge Dredd, by the way, is a fictional comic book character.
He patrols Mega City One, a post-nuclear megalopolis covering much of what is now the eastern United States and part of Canada.
Like his colleagues on the force, Dredd is literally a cop as well as a judge, jury, and executioner all rolled into one.
With Mega City One being so infested with crime, who needs to get bogged down with all that due process stuff, right?
Methinks that officer cosplays as Judge Dredd every Halloween.
You know, I've been arrested five times this year.
As I've mentioned, three of those arrests came via the Toronto Police Service because the Hamas supporters told them to do so, and the police always comply.
The other time was by a mountie resembling Uncle Fester.
He not only arrested me, but physically assaulted me as well.
My crime, well, it was asking for all line freeland, an insensitive question.
And then in May, an Ontario provincial police officer arrested me.
He was doing the bidding of a transgender rugby player, Ash Davis.
Ash's real name, by the way, is Tommy.
And he doesn't like me observing rugby games in which he plays, in which he injures real female players, which is contrary to the rules of the sports international governing body, World Rugby.
But never mind.
While violent gangbangers are routinely given bail and parole, it seems that those committing so-called thought crimes are deemed enemies of the state today.
You know, an oft-asked question I receive from viewers is, how do I remain so calm and composed when indignities happen to me in the field, be it at the hands of Antifa or law enforcement, and these days, really, what's the difference?
My response is that losing one's cool is not a good look.
And in this day and age of virtually everyone toting around cell phone cameras, there's a huge likelihood that you're going to be recorded.
But when I saw Ezra brutally arrested for absolutely nothing more than embracing his rights as both a citizen and a journalist, well, to quote Popeye the Sailor Man.
That's all I can fans.
I can't fans no more.
Which is to say, I lost it with Staff Sergeant McDuff.
Get off the road.
Why are you arresting genocide?
Get off the road, Mr. Winse, or you're going to get arrested.
You are despicable.
Yeah, you can.
Yeah, that's good.
Well, I'm talking to you.
I'm not talking to you.
You're a disgrace.
Why are you the enforcer for the pro-terrorists?
Huh?
Goodbye.
Huh?
Goodbye.
Why don't you enforce Section 319 of the Criminal Code?
Why are you arresting peaceful counter demonstrators and members of the independent media?
Answer me, you coward!
You are a coward!
Jack Berkov, it's up 960 a.m.
Why aren't you arrested?
You can step away from me right now.
He's in a public place.
You talk to the Toronto Police Corporate Media.
Yeah, they don't return my call, sir.
Yeah, because they're a coward like you.
I'm not a camping justified.
Yeah, enforce the law.
Section 319.
I'm trying to educate you.
I don't need your education.
Well, section 319, you can't change genocide.
Why?
If it's will you talk to me?
Nope.
Why not?
You are a disgrace.
You enjoy doing what you do?
Get off the road.
Get off the road.
I'm crossing the street.
Am I not allowed to cross the street?
Can you clear these people up?
Back up, please.
Back up.
Don't tell me.
I can't cross the street.
Can I cross the street?
Can I cross the street?
Back up, please.
Yeah, good.
Keep that running.
Oh, the designated press area.
Yeah, I think I think this is the designated Dominion of Canada.
What do you think about that?
You are a shameful coward.
You know, Speaker, why are you not enforcing Section 319?
I'm allowed to be.
I'm allowed to be here.
I'm fine for my safety, sir.
Okay, well, I'm not a problem.
I don't want to see it run over by a vehicle.
Oh, yeah.
Where's this designated press area?
Where is the designated press area?
Okay, because I don't want to get arrested by you.
You know, you must have liked the Gestapo some 80 years ago.
You would fit right in.
What an absolute disgrace.
Who is giving you these orders?
I can't believe this is organic.
Is it Mayor Chow?
Is it Justin Trudeau?
What is it?
Well, folks, the silence speaks volumes.
That's the thing.
Silence Speaks Volumes00:03:28
Like a honey badger clawing at a beehive for honey and being stung hundreds of times over by the bees.
I can take a multitude of indignities hurled my way, but when I see my beloved colleagues assaulted, such as Sheila Gunread being punched in the face by some soy boy attending an Edmonton Woman's March, or Alexa Lavois being shot in the thigh by a trigger-happy cop at the Freedom Convoy takedown two years ago.
Well, it's hard to maintain my composure.
I don't know if it's solidarity or chivalry or a combination of the two, but when I witness such things, I can no longer contain my inner hulk.
So, to quote ex-Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, sorry, not sorry.
And here's a scintilla of good news.
Sources tell me that McDufus has been reassigned and that he won't be policing this Sunday's hate fest.
I have no idea why, except perhaps that in the court of public opinion, as the story of Ezra's false arrest went both viral and international, the Toronto Police Service received yet another wicked public relations black eye.
So goodbye, McDuff, the Portly poster boy for bad policing and proof positive that physical fitness standards at the Toronto Police Service is now a bygone concern.
Now, while I know there are many good police officers at TPS, there are rotten apples.
Here's the problem under Chief Myron Demq: the Rotten Apples are not disciplined.
They're promoted.
Remember our encounter with Officer Bubbles on Remembrance Day?
Here, check it out.
If the woman touches me, he's going to be arrested for assault.
Do you understand me?
Yes, that's right.
Officer Bubbles, how are you doing there, David Menzies?
Just wondering.
Oh, okay, that's it.
Get out of my face.
Don't do that.
You really have anger issues, don't you?
I have nothing to do with that.
Get that out of my face.
I'm just wondering if there's any pro-Hamas people today to disrupt the Remembrance Day ceremony.
Are you going to arrest them?
No.
Are you going to uphold the law?
Are you going to enforce Section 319?
Oh, because I'm just trying to get answers from Officer Bubbles.
I guess you don't like that nickname?
No, that's okay.
Are you going to arrest any small girls that are blowing bubbles, officer?
Oh, I didn't think a big guy like him would need a protection, officer.
I'm not protecting.
I'm in line.
Okay.
I think the line's over there, actually.
Oh, well.
Wow, this cat still has serious anger issues, doesn't he?
But instead of being fired or at least confined to a desk job, this hothead has been promoted to sergeant.
This speaks very badly of the culture that currently exists at Toronto Police.
Censorship Proponents00:02:55
Indeed, under DemQ, cops are really not about enforcing the law, but being censorship proponents.
Oh, yeah.
We exposed that Inspector Jack Ger was reaching out to YouTube earlier this year to censor our videos.
Oh, not regarding the Hamas thugs, mind you, but rather he didn't like our expose regarding the Toronto police policy of treating transgenders with special rights as opposed to equal rights.
Indeed, we acquired Toronto Police training modules that spell all of this out.
Do you know that the Toronto cops will even give transgenders free rides in police cruisers painted in the transgender color scheme?
Oh yeah, your tax dollar's hard at work yet again, folks.
And really, don't you pine for the good old days when tranny trouble meant the gear shift was slipping from drive into neutral?
Anyway, Jackass Gur was unsuccessful in his censorship quest.
So now the cops are all about denying us access to press conferences.
Last night, Chief DemQ held a press conference at the Beanfield Center, IRSVP'd, that we would indeed be attending, but I was sternly told by spokeswoman Stephanie Sayre that rebel news is deemed to be media non-grata.
Quote, we only allow journalists who work for accredited news organizations into our media gallery or at our events.
Accredited news organizations publish their journalistic standards and practices, adhere to journalistic principles such as fairness and balanced reporting, and have a correction policy.
For example, members of the National News Media Council, which reviews and potentially adjudicates complaints from the public about alleged violations of ethical and journalistic standards, are considered to be accredited by us, the Toronto Police Service.
End quote.
Good grief, where do I begin?
For starters, we do adhere to all of those journalistic standards and procedures noted by Sayre.
Secondly, we are accredited by the Independent Press Gallery, the federal court, the federal appeal court, provincial courts, and the list goes on.
But no, Sayre only wants MSM-trained SEALs to attend DemQ pressers.
Why?
Well, because they won't ask the impolite questions like I planned to do last night, such as the following.
For the past 13 months, Chief DemQ, we have witnessed pro-Hamas supporters clamoring for genocide, contrary to Section 319 of the Criminal Code.
Unanswered Arrests00:03:38
In the meantime, peaceful counter-demonstrators have been arrested as well as members of the independent media.
Why is there such a flagrant double standard when it comes to law enforcement?
Number two, politically, who is ordering the police to act this way?
Mayor Chow, Premier Ford, Prime Minister Trudeau.
Three, earlier this year, Trudeau had a meeting with Chief DemQ.
Why?
What was said in that meeting?
After all, the chief does not answer to the PM.
Or are things a little different now?
Four, Rebel News went through the Freedom of Information process to find out what was said in that meeting.
Our FOI application was declined.
Why?
What was said in that meeting that the PM and the chief want to keep secret?
Well, sorry, folks, those questions shall remain unanswered.
Maybe those questions will remain unanswered forever.
So that's the problem.
It is a situation of two-tiered law enforcement as Jew hatred runs out of control.
Now, here are my suggested solutions.
Number one, it starts on this Sunday morning at 9 a.m.
We're planning to take back the streets.
I will quote Ezra's email that went out to our viewers yesterday.
Quote, Toronto police arrested me last Sunday for standing on the sidewalk.
I was reporting on a pro-Hamas protest, and police claimed that my mere presence was breaching the peace.
And I'm certain they're going to arrest me again this Sunday because I intend to go to the exact same sidewalk.
The pro-Hamas bullies invade the...
Okay.
And I'm certain they're going to arrest me again this Sunday because I intend to go to the exact same sidewalk.
The pro-Hamas bullies invade the same Jewish neighborhood every week.
But that's only if I'm by myself.
Arresting me was a lot easier for the police than arresting the 20 pro-Hamas extremists who were shouting at me.
But if I'm there with 50 law-abiding Canadian citizens, all of us standing peacefully on the sidewalk waving Canadian flags, the police might actually do their job.
Will you come to join me in solidarity as a fellow Canadian citizen?
Will you help me take back our streets from these pro-Hamas thugs?
By the way, it's against the law for police to arrest someone who isn't breaking the law just because other people threaten to breach the peace.
In 2019, in a remarkably similar case called Fleming versus Ontario, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that police cannot do that, end quote.
By the way, folks, Ezra is referring to the situation that occurred in Caledonia, Ontario, going back some 15 years ago.
Caledonia was essentially being held hostage by Native activists to the point that this patch of the province was actually a no-go zone.
I urge you to read the book Helpless by the late, great Christy Blatchford for all the nitty-gritty details of one of the most disgraceful chapters to occur in the history of Ontario.
In any event, Fleming was violently arrested by police officers.
I'm Spartacus Moment00:03:08
Why?
Well, he was brandishing a Canadian flag on a vacant lot.
The cops thought this would further incite the natives.
Experiencing a bit of deja vu here, folks?
Because in 2024, it's merely the players who have changed, yet clownish cops are actually ignoring a Supreme Court decision.
So it is my hope that on Sunday, we stand with Ezra.
What we need is an I'm Spartacus moment.
Remember that iconic scene from the 1960 Kirk Douglas movie?
Spartacus had led a slave rebellion, but when the runaway slaves were eventually found by the Roman centurions, they were informed that all the emperor wanted was the return of Spartacus to Rome in order to be publicly crucified.
Check out what happens.
Slaves you were, and slaves you remain.
But the terrible penalty of crucifixion has been set aside on the single condition that you identify the body or the living person of the slave called Spartacus.
Spartacus!
I'm End
result, the centurions were bamboozled.
Will you join us on Sunday to send a similar message to TPS?
Part two in reclaiming our city and indeed our country is regime change.
Trudeau must go, Chow must go, Parrish must go.
We can ill afford to have anti-Semites in charge during these dark days of Jew hatred.
Finally, part three is simply this.
Deport, deport, deport.
If you believe the polls, and I sure do, it looks as though the Pierre Polyev Conservatives will form a majority government next year.
A plank of the Polyev platform is fighting crime.
And so it is that he needs to take a page from Donald Trump's playbook and deport illegal aliens, especially those illegal aliens who are not only committing crimes, but chanting for genocide on the streets of our great dominion on a weekly basis.
Queers at City Hall00:15:52
We need to draw a line.
And appeasing thugs and bullies has never worked.
It is time that our great country is ruled over by Canadian law, not Sharia law.
It is time to restore law and order and civility because this is ultimately a battle between civilization and savagery.
Finally, this is not the time to issue visas to Gazans, but rather this is the time to deport Islamo-Nazi hatemongers to whatever shite holes they emigrated from before Canada itself descends into just such a decrepit place as well.
Well, folks, just moments after recording this monologue, I received notice of an X or tweet from the Toronto Police Service entitled A Reminder to Those Attending Sunday's demonstration at Bathurst and Shepard.
Allow me to read it verbatim.
Officers have been managing weekly demonstrations at Bathurst and Shepard with public safety as our top priority.
While we uphold the charter rights of all citizens, those rights are not without limits and must be balanced with the safety of everyone in the area.
Our officers are trained to de-escalate volatile situations.
If actions threaten public safety or risk dangerous confrontations, they will take steps to restore order.
This applies to all sides.
Breach of the peace arrests are a tool to maintain order and carry no criminal charges.
We remain committed to investigating all hate-motivated incidents.
Our investigations do not stop when demonstrations end.
Charges can and will be laid at any time.
Since October 7th, 2023, we've made 186 arrests and laid 506 charges related to hate crimes.
Please follow police direction to ensure this weekend's event remains safe and lawful for everyone.
So there you have it, folks.
The police recognize there are charter rights, but the police are going to put a governor on those charter rights.
They're going to limit our charter rights.
I'm sorry, your role as law enforcement officers is to uphold the law, not to interpret the law, make rulings of law.
Like I said earlier, this is not a Judge Dredd comic book.
You are ignoring what the Supreme Court stated in 2019.
And if you're going to carry out that kind of a vendetta on Sunday, see you in court.
The Toronto Police Service has the tools to put an end to the rampant anti-Semitism playing out on our city streets and at Jewish schools and Jewish businesses and synagogues.
But the police have chosen not to employ existing laws, of which there are many, most notably Section 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada, which prohibits the chanting of genocide.
Now, as I mentioned in my monologue, the rule of law has been replaced by something called keeping the peace.
And the consequences have been egregious given that the pro-Hamas reprobates are creating a toxic and downright unsafe environment.
They even have elected officials in their corner, such as Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish, who supported the use of her city celebration square that was going to be the venue last Tuesday for a fake and grotesque Remembrance Day honoring terrorists as opposed to veterans.
It was all about free speech, you see.
Yeah, well, thankfully the organizers chickened out and the event was canceled.
Joining me now is Sue Ann Levy, who writes for True North.
And Sue Ann recently attended a forum called Canadian Woman Against Anti-Semitism at Toronto's Beth Torah Synagogue.
And she joins me now to weigh in on the out-of-control Jew hatred we see every week now in the streets of our great dominion.
Hey, Sue Ann, thanks so much for making time for us.
Oh, that's fine.
You know, David, did you ever think it would come to this in our city?
No, you know, Sue Ann, as I said in my monologue, I always knew anti-Semitism was out there.
And I'm saying that as someone who isn't even Jewish, I think a lot of people, because of my name, because of the Jewish neighborhood I grew up, they assume I'm Jewish, but I'm not.
I guess you can call me a righteous Gentile.
But, Sue Anne, what blew me away and continues to blow me away is the level of anti-Semitism going back to last Thanksgiving weekend, 2023, when, for goodness sakes, the bodies of the massacre in southern Israel weren't even cold, and you had literally hundreds and hundreds of people coming out that weekend on the streets of Toronto demanding apparently more bloodshed.
What do you make of this, Sue Ann?
Because I was completely taken aback by the amount of Jew hatred out there.
Well, let's just say I'm not surprised because I was writing about this way back in 2009 when Queers Against Israeli apartheid infiltrated the Gay Pride Parade.
And the politicians and the activists just allowed it to happen.
The only one who stood up for the Jewish community was Rob Ford, believe it or not.
Wow.
Back then.
And it took five years to get them out of the parade.
And then things just got demonstrably worse with Al-Quds marching on the streets of Toronto without a permit.
You know, poor James Pasternak, the counselor at Toronto City Hall, who is Jewish and who has been fighting an uphill battle, he came out constantly and tried to get them off the streets.
And they had a very, very strong activist group, a lobby group led by Dimitri Lascaris.
I remember going to a city hall meeting where he stood up and he like openly called me, you know, this terrible Zionist.
And isn't that a dirty word?
And like I could see it getting larger and larger.
And then if you remember in 2021, when the last very short conflict, but nevertheless, a conflict, the beating up of people at City Hall and our late great mayor John Torrey allowed that to happen and nothing was done.
And the police just kind of, you know, they said nothing to see here and on we go.
And cars were surrounded.
And so here we are today, a year later from, you know, a year after the most horrific crimes in Israel.
And like the things are out of control.
But I'm not surprised because we have weak-willed politicians.
And Sue Anne, to build on your point, queers against Israeli apartheid, I remember that well.
It's shocking.
The whole concept is based on a lie.
There is no apartheid in Israel.
So therefore, what's the real reason for such a slanderous float at the Pride Parade?
Well, it's good old-fashioned anti-Semitism, but we've gone from that.
And I see them all the time, Sue Ann, in Toronto.
Queers for Palestine.
And what I find shocking, and I want your insight because you are a member of that community.
You know, Sue Ann, that if you are gay, lesbian, bi-trends, and you go to Gaza and you're open about it, it's a death sentence.
So queers for Palestine is kind of like chickens for Colonel Saunders.
What is driving that?
Well, I think what happens is that their oppression mentality and DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusiveness, outweighs the fact logic, absolute logic.
Because yes, if they went over the Middle East and Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
So we were saying that way back with Queers Against Israeli apartheid.
But these people think that Jews or Zionists, and they don't even hide the fact.
They used to call us Zionists a year ago.
They say, I just hate Zionists.
I don't hate Jews.
But they don't hide that anymore.
It's not couched in the Zionist rhetoric.
But I guess they think that we're oppressors.
And these crazy, crazy queer women, radical women with 14 nose rings and purple hair, you know, come out and they protest for a regime that would kill them the moment they stepped into Gaza.
But the worst, Dave, are the Jewish, self-loathing Jewish queers.
And there are, you know, more than a few who have been on the streets of Toronto praying on the, you know, the innocent Jews and Zionists and who are chanting that mantra.
And you think, are they out of their minds?
They must be out of their minds.
Incredible.
And, Swan, let's touch upon the crux of the matter.
You attended that form at the synagogue.
I think it was attended by some 200 attendees.
And, you know, the theme being right now what we see in Toronto, it's not law enforcement.
It's keeping the peace.
For the last six weeks, we've been going to Bathers and Shepherd.
It is just despicable what's happened.
You know, for 13 months now, the pro-Israel people have had a demonstration.
I won't even call it a demonstration, Suan.
It's more like a vigil.
It's about, you know, praying for the kidnapped victims, the ones who are still alive, that is, to be returned.
And about six weeks ago, the pro-Hamas people came here there to stir up trouble.
Now, here's what I'm going to get at.
If law enforcement is now no longer about enforcing the law and keeping the peace, then Sue Ann, why don't the cops tell these pro-Hamas demonstrators, you know what?
The city of Toronto literally has thousands of intersections.
Go 10 blocks south, five blocks east.
Don't come here.
And if they say, I have every right to be here, again, going back to keeping the peace, that is correct.
But in the interest of keeping the peace, we don't want you there.
Why don't the cops give a little tough love to the pro-Hamas people, Suan?
Well, they haven't for the last year, Dave.
They've allowed this to escalate out of control.
And, you know, I think the chief is weak-willed.
He's probably being given his marching orders from Olivia Chow, who has proven not to like the Jewish community and not to support the Jewish community.
And, you know, they infiltrate wherever they can and they get away with it.
They prey on the downtown streets, block traffic, they get away with it.
And these people are breaking so many laws.
I can't even, yes, I did go to that forum, Dave, and a very wise lawyer by the name of Mark Sandler, who I notice has just given a talk at City Hall, talked about all the legal means available to them.
Even if they can't determine or don't want to determine that a hate crime has been committed, and many have been committed.
I mean, when you call death to Jews or you sit in a chair mocking the Jews by having a big replica of Yahya Sinwar, the hateful Hamas leader who was killed, that to me is pretty hateful.
But even if they don't want to use that, let's start with the people obstructing the peace, you know, disturbing the peace, blocking intersections, obstructing the sidewalk.
There are so many ways that they could use their powers to get rid of these people, but they haven't.
And I think really now, besides the instructions, they're afraid of them.
I think they're very much intimidated by these people.
You know, Sue Ann, I would debate that with you.
I, from what I've seen, I've been covering these demonstrations for 13 months now.
I am having a hard time grasping with the idea that the rank and file Toronto police officers are doing this organically.
You know, i.e., going after peaceful counter-demonstrators, going after members of the independent media, the most notable of which was my beloved house, Ezra, last Sunday.
And you.
And five arrests in 11 months, Sue Ann, just this year alone.
I think it's coming from above.
You mentioned Mayor Olivia Chow.
We know she's an anti-Semite.
She wouldn't attend the flying of the Israel flag at City Hall for Independence Day.
She did not attend the one-year anniversary vigil.
Well, you know, there was bike lanes to discuss.
And then the invite didn't get into my email inbox.
It went to the spam file.
Yeah, yeah, you know, save it for those buying Ocean View property in Regina.
The thing is, I think it's bigger than Olivia Chow.
Sue Ann, we know that Justin Trudeau had a meeting with police chief Myron Demkew earlier this year.
We actually filed an FOI, which was rejected.
We want to know what was discussed.
And I have no proof, Sue Ann, about this.
So I want to bounce it off you, get your opinions.
I think Trudeau said to DemQ, we've got an election coming up in less than a year.
We've done the math.
It's simply business.
There are more than five times as many Muslims as there are Jews in Canada.
And I'm not saying every Muslim agrees with the atrocities we're seeing out on the street right now.
But the fact is, we've made a decision.
And so if you see any of the pro-Hamas types chanting genocide or acting out violently, turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.
But if there are peaceful counter-demonstrators, if there are members of the non-state funded media asking potentially impolite questions, throw the book at them.
Is this what we're seeing, Sue Anne?
Well, one would think so.
I mean, I do believe the politicians have done the math, definitely have done the math.
Olivia Chow included, and all the anti-Semites who surround her with Progress Toronto, and I will repeat that.
Progress Toronto, the executive director, is vehemently anti-Israel.
Just go on her Twitter feed.
And Carolyn Parrish, vehemently anti-Israel.
I think she got back in office with a sizable Islamist support.
And, you know, Nintrudeau, they have all done the numbers.
Multiculturalism's Dark Side00:07:06
And even Doug Ford, I'm not letting him off the hook because he has been silent.
His Jewish solicitor general, Michael Kersner, has been absolutely spineless.
So I think all of them have done either polls or counted the numbers or whatever and left the Jewish community in Toronto, in Montreal, because Val Plant in Montreal is no better, have left the Jewish community, hung out to dry.
You know, I say that you're so right, Sue Ann, when it comes to Mr. Kirzner, he's actually the MPP for that writing where the Bathurst Shepherd hate fests are happening.
He does come out.
He does say nice speeches and he does say profound prayers.
But my god, you're the attorney general, do something.
Order the police services to enforce the law.
That's all.
And don't get me started on the federal MP, the biggest self-hating Jew in Canada, Yara Sachs, a Canadian Israeli Jew that just for the opportunity to get a free trip to the Middle East, she got cuddly with Mahmoud Abaz, the pay-for-slave terrorist.
So there is so much blame to go around.
You know, Sue Anne, we're running out of racetrack.
I want to get your feeling on this.
I did a monologue earlier this month where I said what we have witnessed this past year in Canada is the jump the shark moment for multiculturalism.
And what I mean by that is that there was always this unspoken deal with multiculturalism, which Trudeau's alleged father enacted back in 1971, which is come from wherever, pursue the Canadian dream, take advantage of our welfare programs, our free health care.
Here's what we ask in return: behave.
Don't break the law.
Don't import age-old hatreds.
But what we have seen in the streets is proof positive that state-sanctioned multiculturalism is an absolute failure, Sue Ann.
I think we got to put it in the paper shredder where it belongs.
And furthermore, assuming Mr. Polyev takes office, I think he has to take a page from Donald Trump's playbook.
And any of these haters out there chanting genocide on the streets of our nation have to be deported.
No ifs, ands, or buts.
What say you, my friend?
I totally 100% agree.
There's a Syrian man who was brought in in 2015 and has just come out that he's involved with, and he travels from Kitchener to Mississauga.
I don't remember his name and not that it matters, but he's been brought over.
He was greeted by Trudeau and he's now involved in these hate fests.
I mean, there's so many of these people, and I think more and more will come out.
And I think, you know, I hope that Donald Trump will rub off because I think immigration.
I mean, let's start with the 5,000 people or probably more that are being brought over from Gaza with all their hate and their support of Hamas.
I mean, what the heck is the federal government doing?
What are they thinking?
Do they hate us that much?
It's appeasing the mob.
You're right.
The Gazans, I mean, not even Arab Middle Eastern countries will take those people in.
We know by polling.
Yeah, up to 80% of those people support Hamas.
This is literally throwing gasoline on the fire.
But, you know, Trudeau has outsmarted himself because I try to go to every Trudeau fundraising dinner in the GTA, Sue Ann.
And you got the Patriots on one hand hurling insults at him.
But on the other hand, you have the pro-Hamas people.
They have posters with his face saying genocide, Justin.
Blackface must be going, what the hell do I have to do for these people?
I'm appeasing them as much as possible.
So even that is backfiring.
Yeah.
Well, you know, and they did that.
I went to an event with Stephen Harper two weeks ago and outside of the Meridian Center, and there were at least 100 protesters with his face.
And the police did the same thing.
They made us, I was trying to take pictures and they made me move back.
Don't want to take pictures to tweet out on social media, but they made me move back.
So we all have to adjust our lives because, you know, they are trying to allegedly keep the peace.
But I mean, it's absurd what this city has become.
Sue Anne, I was at that event as well.
And the most policing I saw, and I'm not making this up, was when a couple of cops went to a peaceful counter-demonstrator, pro-Israel side, and told him to remove his hat or face arrest because it had the JDL logo on it, which is not a terrorist group.
And meanwhile, chants of genocide everywhere and threats that they're going to storm the building.
You know what it reminds me of, the police say, Sue Ann, you are further inciting the mob.
And what it reminds me of is the dark old days of sexual assault where you'd have a woman raped and on the witness stand, they would say, hey, honey, how much cleavage were you shown that day?
How much leg?
Almost as though you were to blame for inciting this man to do that atrocity to you.
That is the mindset.
It was wrong then with sexual assault.
It sure as hell is wrong right now with these thugs chanting genocide, Sue Ann.
Well, you know, and you talk about Myron Demku, who is such a weak, useless police chief.
You talk about him getting the marching orders, and I believe that that probably has happened to a certain extent.
But, you know, these cops need to be educated about what is a hate crime, what they can do to, I mean, let's start with the masking.
Masking is illegal at these protests.
They're doing hateful things and they're wearing masks and they're getting away with it.
Oh, but Sue Ann, it's all about keeping the peace.
And you mentioned the guy dressed up as Sinoir.
I swear, I'm not making a joke.
I think it's only a matter of time before you see some cosplayer come dressed up as Hitler and that will be tolerated.
Sue Ann, listen, we're all out of racetrack here.
Your pieces are a joy to read, as always.
And when it comes to educating the cops, as you mentioned, we'll be doing that this Sunday.
We're going back to Bathers and Shepherd with as much.
Well, good luck.
Good luck.
I hope, you know, I'll be watching.
And I am doing, I just want to plug, I'm doing a piece on the normalizing of anti-Semitism just in the middle of writing it for True North because it just makes, breaks my heart what's happening in this country.
