EZRA LEVANT | America's billionaires became freedom advocates under Trump—are they genuine or opportunistic?

Ezra Levant examines billionaires like Jeffrey Bezos—whose February 26th memo demanded Washington Post defend "personal liberties and free markets" while excluding opposing views—questioning whether their sudden freedom advocacy under Trump is genuine or opportunistic. Critics mock Bezos’s inconsistency, citing Amazon’s four bans/unbans of his book China Virus, while Canada’s interprovincial trade barriers persist despite recent Premier commitments like Tim Houston’s and Doug Ford’s mutual recognition legislation. Levant clashes with Jagmeet Singh over election delays, pension motives, and Singh’s refusal to address Israel-Gaza claims, including Engler’s anti-Israel rhetoric, while facing his own legal battle over free speech restrictions. The episode suggests billionaires’ activism may mirror political convenience, not principle, and Canada’s freedom struggles remain tangled in bureaucracy and selective accountability.

Bezos Takes Ownership 00:09:23
Tonight, billionaire Jeffrey Bezos orders his Washington Post to fight for freedom every day.
And they hate it.
It's February 26th.
This is the Ezra Levant show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
I have strong opinions about Google and YouTube because they are the worst censors in Canada and the United States.
In the world of big tech, they're the worst.
Facebook, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, they are awful also.
But their opportunistic owner, Mark Zuckerberg, had a meeting with Donald Trump, and that seemed to change his trajectory.
You might recall shortly after that meeting, he announced that he was going to fire 40,000 censors and stand for free speech, both in America and around the world.
Remember that?
We're going to work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world.
They're going after American companies and pushing to censor more.
The U.S. has the strongest constitutional protections for free expression in the world.
Europe has an ever-increasing number of laws institutionalizing censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovative there.
Latin American countries have secret courts that can order companies to quietly take things down.
China has censored our apps from even working in the country.
The only way that we can push back on this global trend is with the support of the U.S. government.
And that's why it's been so difficult over the past four years when even the U.S. government has pushed for censorship.
By going after us and other American companies, it has emboldened other governments to go even further.
But now we have the opportunity to restore free expression, and I am excited to take it.
Now, I'll believe it when I see it, but it's certainly promising that he's at least saying those things.
And of course, nothing comes close to Elon Musk, the free speech champion who saved Twitter and made it a force for freedom.
But Jeffrey Bezos of Amazon, I don't know, I never thought of him as much of a censor given the nature of his main platform.
Amazon, it's a store, really.
Now, I did have a censorship problem with Amazon when I published my book, China Virus, a few years ago, the beginning of the pandemic.
Amazon banned it.
Then they unbanned it.
Then they banned it again.
And then they unbanned it again.
I'm not making that up.
Four flip-flops.
It was madness.
They later said in a very cryptic letter that officials didn't approve of the book, but they didn't say which officials.
Were they Canadian officials?
Were they Chinese officials?
Were they officials from the World Health Organization?
It was very mysterious.
Anyways, I really just sort of thought of Bezos as an e-commerce guy more than anything.
He's had some midlife crisis things like getting himself a pneumatic second wife who makes the news for underdressing, shall we say.
And he's got his own spaceship company, a little bit like Elon Musk does, I guess.
But Bezos does own the Washington Post, perhaps the most influential political newspaper in America and thus the world.
Now, the New York Times, of course, is very important and larger, but for covering Washington, I think the Washington Post is the insider newspaper.
And obviously, Jeffrey Bezos owns it not to make money, it loses money, but because he wants a seat at the political table, as all these billionaires seem to do once they've conquered everything they set out to conquer.
And I don't know if it's a reaction to some of the crazy Trump derangement syndrome stuff in the media these days, or I don't know if Bezos is trying to cozy up to Trump in some way, like Zuckerberg clearly is, or I don't know, maybe Bezos is just actually getting around to reading his own newspaper for once, and he can't believe what he sees.
But today, for whatever reason, he wrote an extremely important and bold memo that was actually beautiful in parts.
And I want to read it to you in full.
Here it is posted to Twitter.
It's a letter to his staff.
He said, I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning.
I'm writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.
And that's key, opinion pages, not news reporting.
We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars, personal liberties and free markets.
We'll cover other topics too, of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.
Let me pause for a second.
He means other newspapers.
The Washington Post will not.
Let me pick up on his letter.
There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader's doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views.
Today, the internet does that job.
I am of America and for America and proud to be so.
Isn't that a beautiful line?
Our country did not get here by being typical.
And a big part of America's success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else.
And then here's maybe my favorite line that I think shows how deeply thoughtful he is.
Freedom is ethical.
It minimizes coercion and practical.
It drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.
I offered David Shipley, he's the existing op-ed editor, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter.
I suggested to him that if the answer wasn't hell yes, then it had to be no.
After careful consideration, David decided to step away.
This is a significant shift.
It won't be easy, and it will require 100% commitment.
I respect his decision.
We'll be searching for a new opinion editor to own this new direction.
I'm confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America.
I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion.
I'm excited for us together to fill that void.
Jeff, boy, he says a lot there.
First of all, I am of America and for America.
I'm choked up just thinking of him saying that.
Because a lot of these multi-billionaires, they regard themselves as larger than being citizens of a nation.
They bestride continents.
He's saying, no, I'm American.
I'm of America and for America.
And then he says that freedom is a moral thing we're going to fight for every day.
I think that's, there's some deep thinking in there.
But the nature of America, how it's special, the nature of owning a prestige newspaper, and that the owner of it can make a decision to control its moral viewpoint, of course.
He says he won't meddle in the reporting.
And I'm sure that's true.
But when it comes to exhorting viewers to see things in a freedom way, an American way, that's what Bezos says he's going to do.
And I love that question he put to the editor.
Say hell yes or retire.
What an amazing opportunity that would be, that job.
And it says a lot about the man who declined that opportunity.
And by the way, you can see the gnashing of teeth throughout the media, including at the Washington Post.
Look at this.
This is a reporter.
This is an incredible response by a Washington Post reporter who says, massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into the Washington Post's opinion section today makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there.
I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side of coverage, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side, I will be quitting immediately and letting you know.
Encroachment.
He owns the newspaper.
He's not stopping news from being reported.
He's taking ownership of the exhortations, of the moral beliefs of the editorial pages, which is exactly where you would want a media owner to do so.
That's where he should speak, if anywhere.
Imagine the sense of entitlement that some reporter, a dime a dozen reporter, objects to the owner having a point of view.
But the half courage of it.
Oh, I'm really mad.
I'm really mad.
I'm going to stick around for now because I like my job for now.
But I tell you, people, I'm so mad.
If he goes further, I'll let you know.
What a weirdo.
What an unteamed player.
Here's another Washington Post writer who seems to have quickly deleted his comment.
I can't find the original, but I see it screenshot so many places.
Yeah, that person didn't like it very much.
And he had courage for about 10 minutes, then he deleted.
And then there's this from Keith Olberman, who is not with the Washington Post, but he's a leftist TV journalist who used to have a show way back when.
He said, F you, Nazi, and tell your placid girlfriend she's actually shamed herself, which none of us who ever met her thought was possible.
Premiers Address Trade Barriers 00:15:34
What?
First of all, I don't think the Nazis stood for personal freedom, which is the distillation of Bezos' message.
And while I have my aesthetic differences with Bezos' new misses, how on earth is a weird personal attack against her relevant or even appropriate?
Oh, right, right, right.
The left is only feminist whenever it suits them.
Just ask the male feminist we call Justin Trudeau.
I am very excited about this, but I'm also very jealous.
Why does only the United States have this awakening?
Why does one of the richest men in America get to do this, but the owner of the Globe and Mail, the richest man in Canada, not do so?
I'm talking about David Thompson.
First it was Mark Zuckerberg, now Bezos, Elon Musk, and the Doge rooting around waste thing.
Why don't we get that?
Will we ever see freedom on the march in Canada, too?
Yeah, one can only hope.
Stay with us.
More ahead.
The specter of Donald Trump bringing in tariffs against Canadian exports to the U.S. has caused a discussion about another kind of tariff, which is interprovincial trade.
If you can believe it, we do not have trade, free trade, that is, within Canada itself.
Not only does that deter our industries, but it adds costs to the very stuff of life.
Now, there's other problems too.
As you know, on April Fool's Day, the carbon tax goes up, which will give a beating to many Canadian industries just as badly as an export tariff.
But the idea of internal trade barriers has been kicked around for decades.
But today, it seemed like maybe the frozen river was starting to break in the spring.
Let me read to you a tweet from Tim Houston, the Premier of Nova Scotia, who said, Today I introduced legislation to end trade barriers in Canada, improving the flow of goods between our provinces.
I'm calling on all premiers to join me in passing reciprocal legislation to help Canadians better sell goods to Canadians.
And then he has a bit of a graphic there, as you can see, streamlining the sale of goods across Canada, recognizing professional accreditation from other provinces.
That seems like a no-brainer, too.
And inviting all provinces to join in reciprocal legislation.
And I thought it was sort of fun.
Not long after that, Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario, obviously the economic older senior partner in Canada, said, count me in.
To which Dan Kelly, the boss of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said, this is a major commitment on the part of Ontario Premier Ford towards eliminating interprovincial trade barriers.
Nova Scotia and Ontario will lead the way.
Congratulations to both Premiers.
And joining us now via Skype is Dan Kelly of the CFIB Dam.
It feels like these guys had maybe been talking about it beforehand, because that's quite a commitment for the Premier of Ontario to make in response to a tweet.
I'm guessing these guys have been talking about this ever since the specter of Trump's tariffs came along.
Yeah, in fact, I believe the Premier of Nova Scotia was in Ontario during the election campaign, and they did talk a bit about internal trade.
This announcement from Tim Houston was significant.
And then the follow-up from Ford, certainly a reason for optimism, obviously that he has to get re-elected for that to happen.
But this is pretty major.
I've been dancing around this file for 30 years, my journey at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
We've had lots of good talk, but very, very little action on the part of provincial governments getting rid of some of these stupid, minor differences in rules, regulations, permits, licenses that cause all sorts of costs to Canadian businesses and to workers as well, but don't add up to much of anything in terms of any protections that they offer society.
You know, I think people have been talking about internal free trade for decades, and the reason it hasn't happened is because the interests that are protected by this over-permitting or this exclusion is like, for example, I'll just give the example of excluding professionals from other provinces.
Well, you can immediately guess who's for that.
You're protecting a guild.
They don't want competitors.
They want barriers to entry.
So it's easy when you speak in generalities.
We want free trade amongst provinces.
Yes.
Okay.
We'll now try doing it when you have all these interests saying, hey, hey, not us, because we have our special ways.
So let me ask you, I think sort of the obvious question is, these politicians sound pretty enthusiastic, but they haven't done it so far, presumably because it's tough.
Do they actually have the courage to steamroller over the lobbyists who are protecting their turf?
I think they do.
And look, even among some of those protected interests, I think that is starting to thaw too.
I think many of them recognize that for the next generation of entrance into whatever profession, they need people from other provinces to be able to supplement that.
And we saw some of this during the pandemic.
One of the very few helpful outcomes of that was that we started to, you know, in healthcare, we started to free up a little bit of the licensing and other bureaucratic systems that people had to go through.
I actually think the problem is deeper than that, though, Ezra.
It's not just, you're right that sometimes there are people protecting their turf in these fields, but premiers have not really figured out until recently how to do this.
There's been good intentions on their parts, but I think many of them just get overwhelmed.
So the typical answer is, and I'm asked this question all the time by premiers, by others, sure, we're interested, Dan, in helping to lower or end interprovincial trade barriers.
How do we do it?
And or give me some examples.
So one I raised, in fact, with a former Saskatchewan premier was something as stupid as safety kits.
Every province required different items to be in their safety kits that were mandated to be carried by businesses across the country.
So that meant that a company to create these kits had to make 10 different versions, one for every single province to serve with different numbers of band-aids or slings in the kit.
It made no sense.
It led to zero additional safety for anyone.
And so what did premiers do?
Well, let's convene a panel.
And so they brought bureaucrats from 10 provinces.
They spent months and months and months.
And finally, they actually did make some headway.
But for that one regulation on safety kits, some provinces maintain up to 400,000 regulations.
So if you try to harmonize 400,000 rules and regulations, and we should certainly talk about whether that number is appropriate, but if you tried to harmonize even a fraction of that, it would be our grandchildren that would still be talking about this.
And that's why what the Premier of Nova Scotia proposed was aligned with what we had recommended, and that is mutual recognition.
So if something's okay to do, that process is approved, that good is approved, the licensing is approved in Saskatchewan or in Alberta, it's good enough in Manitoba or Ontario and vice versa.
This mutual recognition is the way to get cut through all of that.
It's one simple piece of legislation.
And the fact that the Premier of Nova Scotia proposed it and now the Premier of Ontario, the largest province, has said that he's in, that to me is the first significant movement on this in decades.
You know, I think a lot of Canadians are watching in the United States what Elon Musk calls Doge, Department of Government Efficiency.
And they're moving so quickly and they're breaking stuff and they're shutting stuff down.
Like there was this entire $40 billion program called USAID.
They just shut it down.
They started looking through it and said it's unsalvageable.
Now, that's more about a spending savings.
That's not so much about regulations and trade barriers.
But, you know, what you were talking about there about these 10 different kits in every province, it's almost like the mythical Gordian knot.
You untie this knot, of course, the way that in mythology was cut through with a sword and and I think that's the thing you could try and out bureaucrat the other bureaucrats, or you could just take a sword and cut through it.
I don't know if our Canadian system has the ability to muster a doge um, but I I sense that you got to move so quickly that the bureaucrats and those with the inertia can't react.
One of the things that Elon Musk is good at doing is working fast, working around the clock and working in dramatic ways that the uh incumbents are not used to handling, and I don't do.
I don't know if we, if we, have that spirit in Canada.
I would like to think we do, or is that necessary?
I'm sort of jealous of them, dan.
Well, look what where?
One of the few and one of the few potential positives out of the threat of U.s tariffs is that it has sharpened Canadian minds to to cut through some of the bs in our systems.
I mean gosh look, even the liberal leadership candidates have started to pivot on many of their major policies.
In response, provinces are looking at getting serious about this and saying okay, we just need to do this and yes, we're going to break a few things, and I I I have no doubt that there will be some ultimately, some exemptions and perhaps some some with value.
But if we did this on the negative option side, that we said everything is permitted and provinces, only where they had compelling reasons to do this, would put in place the odd exception here or there, this will be way, way better than the current scenario where, unless you go through the six-year process in Saskatchewan, you can't get approved.
Gosh, we have municipalities getting in on the action too.
I mean I, I remember in Alberta you had to have a separate business, like if you were a Calgary business, you had to have a separate business license in Canmore and in Banff in order to go and do a job there, I believe.
And how is that adding any value?
Uh, it's just adding costs and frustrations and limiting competition among businesses in local areas which, of course, is the salvation towards cost reductions and and efficiency gains.
Yeah hey, you know I mentioned the tweets by Tim Houston and Rob For Doug, for one of the reasons I like twitter is that politicians sometimes sort of make policy and make announcements in real time to the world.
It's sort of fun, and sometimes they speak their mind.
I I really uh admire the platform but uh, let me read to you one more tweet, and this is from Saskatchewan premier uh, Scott Mo, and he was responding to the surprising announcement I think it was yesterday by U.s president Donald Trump, who said he wants to revive the Keystone XCEL pipeline even though it's been dead.
There was actually a first day executive order by the previous president, Joe Biden killed it.
Since then, I mean a plan doesn't stick around for four years, that that that metal pipe is sent elsewhere the the, the workers.
They're not waiting around for four years.
So to exhume and revive, That is quite a big thing, although I think it's so valuable might Happen.
But let me read what Scott Moe said.
It's in reaction to that.
He said, effective immediately, all pipeline permits going east, west, or south received in Saskatchewan will be considered pre-approved.
We encourage all provinces and the federal government to do the same.
And then he tags Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump.
Well, now, now this is the test, isn't it, Dan?
Because it's one thing for Tim Houston and Doug Ford to say, I'm for trading goods and services.
You too?
Yeah, we're all in.
Okay, now here's Scott Moe doing the test.
Will you allow a pipeline?
Will you allow a pipeline?
And I am terrified of the answer behind that, Dan, because I don't think you're going to have the Me Too, Me Too retweeting like you had on this other stuff.
No, no, you're quite right.
Look, these major development projects are viewed as a separate kettle of fish, but the Premier Bo has put out a good challenge and certainly one that we're hoping more Canadian premiers take him up on.
I got to say, though, I do sense a new spirit around some of these major projects.
It seems like people are getting the message that we just can't say no or keep people in perpetual loops of uncertainty.
It does feel like the ground has shifted, and that is one of the, as I said, a helpful outcome of the challenge to the South.
I don't know why we have this gear in Canada, that we cannot change anything unless there is an existential threat.
But like literally, something has to be burning for Canadian governments to get to take action to try to address.
But burning things are right now.
And it does feel like that is switching Canadian governments into gear.
And it's not a moment too soon.
Well, I hope you're right.
I mean, I haven't seen any other, I haven't seen the Premier of Quebec retweet Scott Moe.
Yeah, that one would be a tall order for sure.
I mean, I don't think, I wonder how they think the oil gets to Montreal.
Do they think it just sort of, I don't know, appears by, you know, Santa Claus?
Oh, it comes from the Middle East.
That's the reason.
That's the reason why.
Well, yeah, by pipeline, by the way.
We won't get into all that right now.
But listen, thank you for updating us.
And I hope that the stress of the possible tariff threat from the United States is enough to concentrate some of the minds in Canada.
However, I remain a pessimist.
Dan, great to see you.
Thanks for keeping up the fight.
Anytime, Miss.
There you have it.
Dan Kelly, the boss of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
Stay with us.
more ahead.
Hey, welcome back.
Your letters to me on Canada being possibly removed from the Five Eyes Intelligence Group.
RF7 says, so instead of having five blind mice, there will only be four.
I disagree with your metaphor.
The five eyes, I mean, that's MI6, that's the CIA.
I don't know what the secret agencies in Australia and New Zealand are called, but let's be candid.
Canada is the main beneficiary of this.
I mean, the CIA and MI6 do the heavy lifting.
How many times have you seen news in Canada where we were tipped off to a looming terror attack by Americans all the time?
We're the beneficiaries of it.
Six Months Dark Turn 00:02:47
It's insane and terrifying that they're talking about kicking us out.
And why would they do it?
Well, probably because we're tweaking their nose.
How about bringing thousands of unvetted migrants in from Gaza?
Could you imagine wanting to be in the Five Eyes Super Friends Club, but doing something as reckless as that?
Brian Rapson says, as a 32-year veteran, I left communist China 10 years ago.
Thank God.
Well, listen, first of all, thank you for your service.
And second of all, hopefully you went somewhere free and prosperous.
I remember during the lockdowns, during the pandemic, a number of my friends left Canada for the United States.
They had a job that they could do anywhere.
They had a job that really was on the phone and on their laptop.
So some of them even moved to Florida and no one even knew.
And a lot of people said, get out of Canada.
It's not free.
It's not prosperous.
It's going in a dark direction.
And it's a compelling thing to think of.
But if you're in the ideas business, which I believe I am, and if you call on people to commit to freedom every day, which I do, it's how I sign off my show every day, right?
I certainly felt an obligation, and I feel it still, to stick around and fight.
I mean, I suppose if police were busting down the doors to arrest me, I might seek asylum.
But I mean, I actually was arrested last month, if you recall, and I didn't run.
We're going to stand and fight.
So I'm not saying you were wrong to leave, but and in fact, you may be very wise to have left.
But in my own case, I feel an obligation to stick around and fight.
And let me give you an example of how that pays off.
Would you agree with me that just six months ago, things looked quite dark?
Maybe not six months ago.
I forget when Kamala Harris took over from Joe Biden and the Democrats were searching in the polls and the media found their love for the Democrats again and Donald Trump was maybe wobbling a little bit.
Did you not feel like things were quite dark?
I certainly did when it came to censorship and when it came to foreign policy mistakes.
And look at how the sun has risen from the dark midnight of despair.
And I feel amazing about what's happening in the U.S. Obviously, I'm not thrilled with their tariffs on Canada, but so many freedom-expanding things are happening there.
And that happened in the course of six months.
And so I would like to think that there is a good chance that in six months, maybe sooner, maybe a little later, Canada may turn the chapter from the Trudeau years as well.
I have to think that, and I do think that.
And I hope you're in a happy place.
But for us, it's Canada.
Jack Min Singh's Pension Begins 00:09:23
Greggs says, open up our country to investment from China and Japan is one solution.
The other solution is easy and cost-effective, inter-provincial trade.
Well, as we just talked about with Dan Kelly, what if Quebec doesn't want our oil?
What if they refuse our pipelines?
I'm happy selling our stuff anywhere.
It is a moral improvement to the world to sell Canadian oil to a customer rather than have them buy conflict oil from Russia or OPEC.
But I would be worried about strengthening China too much because it is the world's largest authoritarian regime.
That's our show for today.
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home.
Good night and keep fighting for freedom.
Do you have any regret about forcing Canadians to live under a government they don't want so you can get richer?
Because congratulations, today you are eligible for your pensions.
Like I said, I'm not going to be answering your questions.
And that's the leader of the NDP.
Will he put the country ahead of his pension and vote for a carbon tax election now?
Mr. Singh, for the good of the country, are you going to walk away from your multi-million dollar pension?
He doesn't allow no media to know.
Is that right?
Pierre Polyev is accusing you of keeping the government in power to keep your pension.
What's your reaction to that?
It's another tired old lie that Pierre Polyev likes to say, and it's a lie that he uses to distract from the facts.
Mr. Singh, what's more important?
Your pension or the lives of Canadians?
So the whole 41 million Canadians are being held hostage by the pension of one man.
Alexandra Bois for rebel news and I'm currently in Montreal and today it is the day that the pension of Jack Min Singh kicks in.
Yes, he qualifies for his pension.
So I was kind of surprised because you know who was here today?
Of course, Jack Min Singh.
So me and my colleague Guillaume Bois, we drove all the way here to have the opportunity to ask him a question since there were media availability.
For years, Jag Min Singh has propped up the Liberals while Canadians called for an election.
Now, let's ask him if he has any regrets about doing so just to secure his pensions.
Also, with the imminent appointment of our next unelected prime minister, who by all indications seems to be Mark Carney, we want to know if Singh will keep his promise to vote against the Liberals as soon as he can to launch an election, as Keynesians were asking.
So I let you own the full interaction with Jack Min.
Yes, Mr. Jagmeet Singh, I know you don't want to answer my question, but I think you have to listen to it.
You have to listen to all journalists.
I won't answer the question, sorry.
But I'll take the other questions.
I have to ask my question.
I want to respond to it.
And if you don't want to answer it, it's up to you.
But you don't have to discriminate the journalist.
Do you have any regret about forcing Keynesians to live under a government they don't want so you can get richer?
Because congratulations, today you are eligible for your pension.
Like I said, I'm not going to be answering your questions.
Is there any other question?
Are you going to vote against the government at the earliest opportunity, as you say before Christmas?
Any other question?
So no other journalists want to take my question and ask it back.
Hamas, we all agree on Hamas on a two-state solution.
No, we don't agree with Hamas.
No, we're against Hamas.
We're also against Hamas.
We are.
I would in favor of a two-state solution.
that it must be a Palestinian state.
Mr. Carney s'est exprimé à propos du Moyen-Orient et du Hamas.
Plusieurs personnes dans les médias sociaux n'ont pas réagé correctement.
Vous avez fait… Vous pensez quoi de ce commentaire hier?
Le commentaire d'il?
À propos du Hamas de M. Carney.
Oui, c'est… J'espère que c'était une erreur parce qu'il a dit qu'il est d'accord avec Hamas.
On rejette ça, cet propos.
Hamas, on a… condamné Hamas comme un groupe terroriste.
Pour ceux qui ont brisé les droits, les droits de la personne, les droits de guerre, les personnes qui ont fait tout ça ont le droit d'avoir la justice.
Mr. Craig Sauvé, in the view, Jacques Min Singh, or Italian, I hope Mr. Carney has an easy meeting for you, man.
As part of your negotiation with Trump, would you cancel that contract, not give a bunch of money, pay money to a U.S.
So, Jagmin, you are ready to answer a question from someone who just get out of jail for allegedly harassing two women, and you just answer his question and you refuse to answer my question about if you have any regret about forcing Canadians to live under a government that they don't want just to get richer with your pension.
Why do you keep refusing?
Because you answered me in the past.
You answered me multiple times, Mr. Mr. Jagmin Singh.
You don't remember?
And nothing happened.
And you answered my question.
We need accountability.
Do you understand?
You saw at one point, Jag Min Singh took a question from a really well-known anti-Israel activist, Eve Engler.
You condemn the genocide!
Mr. Gilbo!
You condemn the genocide in Gaza!
Mr. Gilbo!
Kerrigan, Ms. Kerrigan, is the Canadian military an extension of the U.S. Empire?
Ms. Kerrigan!
How do you feel about the Holocaust in Gaza?
Do you know they're saying that 96% of children in Gaza, 96% of children in Gaza, feel like they're about to die?
49% want to die.
You've been supporting it.
Your government's supporting that, Mr. Gubon.
Mr. Champagne, what do you have any comment on Israel's Holocaust in Gaza?
Were you at the conference this morning?
Do you have a comment on Israel's Holocaust in Gaza?
I normally see everywhere we go.
Mr. Champagne, when you were foreign minister, you called on the International Criminal Court to not investigate Israel's crimes.
Why can't you answer that?
The Israel Holocaust in Gaza.
Don't do that.
Madame Plan, are you willing to condemn Israel's Holocaust in Gaza?
Madame Plant, were you condemned?
You condemned October 7th, Madame Plot?
I was kind of shocked because he just got out of jail for allegedly harassing two women.
So I took the opportunity to speak a little bit about that with also the freedom of the press.
And I let you on my interaction with Yves Engler.
You see, so Eve Engler just showed up and he just went out of the jail for allegedly harassing two women.
But he took his question, but he refused my question.
Actually, I'm going to ask.
What's wrong with me?
I just saw you in the news that you just get out of the jail.
Can you explain what happened?
They went along with his claims that there was potentially some form of harassment, which is totally absurd.
And they tried to bring in conditions that said I couldn't write about the case, about the fact that I was in charge.
The Crown, the police, tried to bring a condition that said I could not write about the fact I was being charged for having an author charged for writing criticism of Israel.
And then I wrote about this and the police responded by presenting themselves as a victim and then bringing in four new charges of harassment of the police for, again, writing an author, writing about charges that had been brought against him for writing on X, Criticism of Israel.
And I had to spend five days in jail to defeat this condition.
And we did, we won.
The judge, I didn't even have to, actually, my lawyer ultimately didn't have to present his defense because it was so obviously an infringement of my freedom of speech to have a condition that said I couldn't write about the charges and specifically this arch anti-Palestinian influencer that brought the case against me.
So we won.
We won a victory for free speech and obviously Rebel News, which says it supports free speech.
Without any evidence, I give you the benefit of the doubt.

Oh yeah, Jack Min Singh got it.
He got qualified for his pension today.
But we have a petition at jagmeatpayday.com.
On this website, we have a petition to request him to vote for a non-confident vote at the parliament.
So we will see if Jagmin Singh is keeping the Liberal into power or he will actually vote against the government to hear the Kenyan who won an election.
