Ezra Levant exposes Canada’s hollow World Press Freedom Day, dropping from 14th to 21st in rankings while PM Mark Carney—now leader—calls online platforms "seas of hate" without targeting TikTok’s pro-Hamas ties. Levant’s own arrest and five of his friend David Menzies’ contradict claims of press freedom, while Carney’s push for CBC funding signals state media control. Listeners like Timmy Two Dog defend skilled immigrants, but concerns over crime (migrants 3.5x more likely in sexual offenses) and conservative timidity—like Poilievre’s "51st state" gaffe—highlight deep public distrust of both governments and mainstream parties, with Reform UK’s symbolic flag removals proving a rare electoral win amid rising dissatisfaction. [Automatically generated summary]
I'll take you through Canada's ranking and what Mark Carney had to say about it.
And then later on, we'll get an update from the United Kingdom where the Reform UK managed to win a bunch of local elections.
How did they win?
But Australia and Canada's conservatives lost.
We'll talk to him about that.

There's nothing more fake than World Press Freedom Day in Canada.
It's May 5th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
Over the weekend was World Press Freedom Day, which I checked is the kind of thing you would read about in the book 1984 as a celebration of censorship.
They would call it World Press Freedom Day because it wasn't.
It's a kind of thing that's only observed by regimes that do not actually have World Press Freedom Day every day.
It's like that phrase, free speech zone that you sometimes hear police or politicians talk about.
Yeah, no, Canada is my free speech zone.
There's a lot of lying about this sort of thing.
How many politicians and journalists, for example, said that the trucker convoy was illegal?
So many, too many to count, including Trudeau himself.
But it was never found to be illegal by any court of law.
The closest was one judge who ordered the truckers not to honk their horns, but that in no way rendered their being there illegal.
The Emergencies Act itself operates underneath the Charter of Rights.
It doesn't replace it or supersede it.
There's no emergency exemption to the Charter.
And even then, the CSIS Act, which explains a lot of terms in the Emergencies Act, it covers a lot of what happens in an emergency.
They specifically exempt, quote, lawful advocacy, protest, or dissent, even under martial law.
And as you know, a judge later found out that the invocation of the Emergency Act was illegal and unconstitutional, even though Mark Carney wrote in the Globe and Mail that he wanted it to go harder.
Any long digression there, but my point is, freedom is actually our default state, or supposed to be.
It's our natural state.
And even our laws reflect that.
In the Soviet Union, a good rule of thumb was that if it wasn't specifically permitted, it was banned.
But in Canada, and even more in the U.S., if something isn't specifically banned, it's permitted.
It's a very different mindset.
That's especially true when it comes to free speech and the U.S. First Amendment, of which I am so jealous.
I'm pretty sure I've told you this story before about the famous U.S. case, Cohen versus California.
It was in 1968, Vietnam War.
A 19-year-old kid named Paul Cohen wore a t-shirt into a court saying FUCK the draft.
And he was prosecuted and it went all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States.
And they ruled in a split decision that it was protected speech and that the profanity was in fact an important part of the message.
If he had to say, excuse me, I politely disagree with the draft, that would not have been his honest message, would it?
Anyways, of course, it's vulgar.
But as the court wrote, quote, while the particular four-letter word being litigated here is perhaps more distasteful than most others of its genre, it is nevertheless often true that one man's vulgarity is another's lyric.
There's some truth to it.
I think that was probably the high watermark for free speech in America.
I think the Supreme Court case itself was in 1971.
So that's the United States.
Canada does not have as much free speech, and we're losing more of it every day.
We saw a lot of that during COVID, didn't we?
But it's actually getting worse.
Here is the Reporters Without Borders annual ranking.
You can see that even according to this left-wing group, Canada has fallen from 14th place to 21st place in just one year.
That's world rankings.
But I read their report, and it's simply inaccurate.
I mean, look at the bottom of that page.
They say that zero reporters have been arrested in Canada.
But we both know that's not true.
My friend David Menzies alone has been arrested five times in the last year.
And I myself was arrested in January.
And over the course of time, our people have been assaulted by police and others.
So it's much worse than Reporters Without Borders says.
About a year ago, I asked Mark Carney about David Menzies being arrested by Christia Freeland.
I don't know if you remember this was at the World Economic Forum.
Here's what he told me.
It was just over a year ago.
I'm enjoying it, and I'm doing my best to be fair and friendly.
If he was Canada, you could have him arrested.
Did you see that?
Your rival, Christy Freeland, had one of our reporters arrested.
She did, I think.
She didn't say a word against it.
On the incident, as you guys know very well, Canada is a rule of law country.
Canada is a democracy.
Operational decisions about law enforcement are taken by the police of jurisdiction quite appropriately.
Political, elected officials have no role in the taking of those decisions.
And that's why I don't have any further comment.
It was the wrong thing.
It was absolutely the wrong thing.
Thank you for saying that.
Look, freedom of the press.
Look, I've been a public figure in Canada, been a public figure in the UK.
I know you got to answer tough questions.
And you guys, you know, you ask tough questions, and that's fair.
Well, I want to thank you for saying that, because I have to say, Christy Freeland has not yet said anything in the vein that you have.
She's been happy to let the cops do her work for her.
And if she disagrees with the cops, she hasn't said so.
Well, I've said what I said.
But look, the questions you were asking earlier about energy, and I'm going to have to.
Well, thanks for your time.
I really appreciate it.
Black people.
I feel like.
Take care.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's what he said then.
But Mark Carney is prime minister now, and he's just the same.
He has police push reporters away.
He threatens us with arrest.
And worse, he threatens entire media platforms.
Listen to this.
Large American online platforms have become seas of racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and hate in all its forms.
And they're being used by criminals to harm our children.
My government will act.
And today we're announcing our plan to fight crime, to protect Canadians, and to build communities that are safe, secure, and strong.
A plan to make Canada secure, to make Canada strong.
Really?
So racism, for example, won't be allowed online.
He doesn't define what racism is.
It's sort of tough these days.
There's a lot of anti-white racism.
It's official government policy.
It's called DEI.
What he really means is he doesn't like Elon Musk's Twitter, even though every other platform is just as bad or worse, including the Chinese Communist Party TikTok, which is avowedly pro-Hamas.
But really, racism is a feeling.
It's an accusation.
Racist words are morally wrong, but they're not illegal for a whole bunch of obvious reasons.
Since when does a prime minister simply get to ban words he doesn't like?
Well, just like he gets to arrest journalists he doesn't like.
There has never been more hate and racism on our city streets as there has been since October 7th, weekly Hamas hate marches in Toronto alone.
And the police couldn't care less.
In fact, they're arresting reporters who dare to cover it, arresting peaceful counter-protesters.
The police don't mind hatred and racism.
They just want to use hate to demonize and denormalize their political opponents.
Get a load of this official statement from Kearney on World Press Freedom Day.
So this was written, so they put a lot of thought in this.
In this time of crisis, what crisis?
Politicians love crises because it lets them do things in an emergency, don't they?
We must protect what it means to be Canadian.
A strong, independent, and free press both defines and defends our values.
My new government will protect reliable Canadian public forums so we can tell our own stories in our own languages.
Central to this work is strengthening our public broadcaster, CBC Radio Canada, which has stitched this nation together.
Really?
Did it do that?
Reporting from Cornerbrook to Petro Rivier, Whitehorse to Comox, bringing Canadians together at critical moments.
Does it really do that?
Fewer than 1% of Canadians watch CBC News, by the way.
My new government will also protect and fund more local news, including those with Indigenous perspectives.
In a sea of foreign media and disinformation, we need Canadian voices more than ever.
Unless they criticize him, in which case he wants to censor them.
He says he wants an independent free press, but then he immediately said he's going to slather more money on the CBC.
Which is it?
Canada's identity and institutions are under attack by foreign interference.
And instead of defending them, Pierre Polyev is following President Trump's lead and taking aim at our institutions like CBC Radio Canada.
Pierre Polyev pretends that you can keep one, but not the other.
But he's not Solomon.
You can't split this baby.
His attack on CBC is an attack directly on Radio Canada.
And it is an attack on our Canadian identity.
If elected, my government will take action to enshrine and protect and strengthen CBC Radio Canada for generations to come.
We will modernize the mandate of our public broadcaster.
We will give it the resources it needs to fulfill its renewed mission and ensure that its future is guided by all Canadians and not subject to the whims of a small group of people led by ideology.
When it comes to this most important of Canadian institutions, all Canadians should have their say, not just a small group.
We will not only increase CBC Radio Canada's funding by $150 million, but we will also make this funding statutory, meaning that Parliament as a whole will need to approve any future changes to its funding, not just the cabinet.
By strengthening our public broadcaster, we're protecting our identity and our culture and helping it to shine.
And I think the scariest part there was the word reliable.
What does it mean to be a reliable journalist?
Trudeau used a similar word.
He said trustworthy.
He said only trustworthy journalists would get government money.
Now, obviously, we want our news at rebel news to be reliable and trustworthy.
And I think every Canadian who reads the news, who watches the news, wants their news choices to be reliable and trustworthy.
But what we mean by that is that we can rely on them.
We can be our own judge of that.
We want to trust the news.
We don't want the government to vet them for us.
We don't want the government to trust the news.
We want the government to be a little bit afraid of the news all the time.
When Trudeau and Carney say they want reliable media, what they mean is they want press secretaries.
They want stenographers.
They want people who are repeaters of their message.
When they say trustworthy, they mean they don't want reporters jaunting off to the Isle of Man to dig up Mark Carney's shell companies hiding from taxes.
They mean that Carney can trust the journalists to say nice things about him and mean things about his opponents.
Do you remember when Rebel News and some other citizen journalists asked some questions in the political debates?
Remember what the CBC said?
That we were asking questions that were off-topic or that were on different subjects, and they didn't like that one bit.
Remember that CBC panel?
Just watching it, having watched the debate, David, you know, the debate was one type of conversation.
This feels very different.
I think the debate commission is going to need to be accountable for what's kind of happening here.
They've moved the time of the debate the day before.
They kicked the greens out the morning of, and they've opened up the scrums and the press access to a bunch of groups who sometimes are registered charities or have been defined by their owner as not actually a journalistic organization or have been ruled by the federal court to not be a journalistic organization.
And in an election like this one with very substantive debate on very substantive issues, moderated very well and executed very well by all the leaders, this is where this is going.
So look, the debate commission was set up to make this stuff run in a professional, coherent way, shifting the time for a hockey game, kicking out the Greens about a problem that has been known about for a week, and now this.
I think I would like an explanation as a journalist.
I think a lot of people at home would like an explanation as to why it happens this way.
I mean, who knows what's going to happen with the English debate tomorrow, but we've seen this, that they're talking about, there was immigration questions in the debate, a consensus on, you know, living up to the Safe Third Country Agreement.
Can you really do that with an administration like the Trump administration right now, where you send people back when the foundational principle of the Safe Third Country Agreement is people you deny access at your border are going to get due process and legal, proper legal treatment in the country you're sending them back to when people are just being snatched and sent to, they sent an American citizen to Central America and they're refusing to bring back.
So there are substantive follow-ups on these things for these leaders.
They only get 10 minutes and it's being monopolized by people who are asking on issues that are not central to the campaign and certainly were not central to this debate.
And we have about 30 seconds left.
Anything of substance that you heard there, Paul C. Wise, or that you've heard tonight that you hadn't heard before?
Not in any of these scrums because they are being taken over by other agendas, right?
And not, I think, necessarily helping a broad swath of voters.
Some people maybe do want to hear some of these questions and answers, but broadly, I don't think they represent sort of what the ballot box question is about.
We can talk more.
Can you imagine that?
Other journalists, government journalists, saying that our questions were not approved by them.
We shouldn't ask them because they were not the right topics.
Reform UK's Unexpected Victory00:05:43
That's what Mark Carney means by World Press Freedom Day.
He means the opposite, just like Orwell did.
Stay with us for more.
The last seven days, there have been national elections in Canada, in Australia, and in the United Kingdom.
Isn't that interesting?
The Anglosphere goes to vote.
And in two out of those three countries, the conservative-leaning parties were given a drubbing.
Yes, I know there's reasons to find a silver lining in Canada's result, but still, six months ago, the Conservatives had a 20-point lead.
Why did Nigel Farage and his Reform UK party manage to punch through?
Not just in the by-election that I attended in Runcorn and in the north of England, but also in hundreds of local council seats.
Reform Party swept the table, dispatching both the incumbent Labour government and the Conservative Party, the traditional alternative to Labour.
How did that happen in the UK, but not in Canada or Australia?
How did Nigel Farage, who warmly embraced Donald Trump?
In fact, you may recall Nigel Farage actually introduced Trump at rallies in the United States.
He couldn't have been closer to him.
How did he survive any backlash?
Whereas in Australia and Canada, the Conservative Party seemed to be set back by their affiliations or perceived affiliations with Trump.
Joining us now to talk about the UK results is our friend David Atherton, a columnist, activist, and a deep thinker.
David, how are you doing?
Well, you're far too cold, Andrew.
I'm very well.
What about yourself?
Well, I'm okay.
I had the pleasure of being up in Runcorn and Fraudsham and all the Frogsham and all the interesting places.
They're classic UK names.
It's a lovely part of the world.
53% Labour in the last election, like an enormous vote for Labour.
And now the Reform UK wins it just by six votes, mind you.
But a win is a win.
I was focused on that by-election, but I think the bigger story was hundreds of city of town council seats across the country went for Reform UK.
How did he do it?
How did Nigel Farage do it?
He didn't have the media on side.
He didn't have the, I don't think he had the grassroots door-knocking brigades that Labour had.
So how did Nigel Farage and his Reform UK win?
Right, okay.
Well, we're going to pick up the thread on that one.
Let me just make a theoretical comment first of all.
Runcorn on the by-election.
Runcorn is, depends on which, the way you work it out, is the 16th or 17th safest seat.
Currently, at the moment, Labour have got 400 side off of the 411 seats of the parliament.
But theoretically, if that result was repeated nationwide, it would go down from 411 to 15.
They would only have 15 MPs ever elected.
But to answer directly your question on why Reform did so well, the Reform Party had a perfect storm of dissent.
Whenever the Conservative Party makes a comment on any late Labour Party policy, the governmental policy, it's simply a case of you had 14 years of government to fix these problems, whether it's immigration, whether it's the economy.
The Conservative Party is not trusted.
It's thought to be full of, you know, trying to think the right word without swearing, but it's full of themselves, shall we say?
Let's put it this way.
And no one believes the Conservative Party that they can't deliver because they completely failed when they were in power.
And the Labour Party, and Sir Kir Starmer is probably the most loathed, hated, disliked Prime Minister of all time.
He just sits there telling barefaced lies after barefaced lies.
And whenever you see him on the TV, he never, ever answers the question.
He just off-pat bangs on about what he hopes he's going to do and what he might try to do.
And believe you me, there is bitter resentment at the Labour Party.
For example, whether it's the grooming gangs, and whether it's the savage sentences, savage sentences that people got at the end of the Southport riots, you know, someone deleted, right?
It wasn't a very, very good tweet, should we say, but they deleted it three to four hours after they wrote it.
And the lady, Lucy Connolly, was given 31 months in prison for a tweet that she deleted.
That was interesting to me because you had these people who were sentenced to two or almost three years in prison for a caustic tweet.
And whereas the local Labour MP in Runcorn, the reason there was a by-election is because he was caught on tape beating the daylights out of a constituent.
He served just two days in prison before the judge commuted his sentence, really.
So two days for panelists.
Go ahead.
Yeah, there's a guy called Ricky Jones, who at the time of the riots was seen apparently, allegedly drawing his finger across his throat.
Street Conflicts and Complaints00:04:17
And, you know, a year later, he still hasn't gone to trial.
He's got magistrates court, but he still hasn't appeared in the Crown Court, you know, for the pressure.
But I mean, a lot of people who are politically active or are very online follow that kind of thing.
But when I was in Runcorn, I was only there for a day or so.
I just went on the street.
I don't know if you saw any of my video.
I just went on the mainstream in Frogsham and I asked everyone who would talk to me, what's important to you, what's the issue, who's going to win.
And whether it was reform or labor, everyone was talking about the illegal migrants.
In fact, my most interesting conversation was with a Labour voter who said she voted Labour, sort of out of tradition, but then for the next five minutes, she was complaining about the problems of labor, including people getting in dinghies and sailing across from France.
So I think that I don't know.
I just think immigration is such a huge issue in the UK because it's shorthand for crime, high property prices, cultural quarrels in the street, whether it's Hamas protesters or sectarian violence, but Hindu versus Sikh.
So I think immigration and everybody has been so afraid to talk about it.
Frankly, Nigel Farage has been a little bit afraid to talk about it too, but he's embraced it.
I mean, I looked at the campaign literature.
The number one point, he said, freeze immigration and stop the boats.
That's probably what 10 people, they use word for word, what they said to me on the street in Frogham.
Sure, indeed, yeah.
You know, even the Green Party, the dripping red green, dripping, wet Green Party, wants to see illegals deported and immigration stopped.
I should say green voters, I should say.
It's 58%.
When you've got sort of middle-class, also labor voters are very similar as well.
Your traditional labor, most of the migrants after they've been processed go to a hotel are given houses and property in labor areas.
They have to part with the crime, the anti-social behavior, having their daughters photographed just outside school and they're sort of sexually harassed on the street as well.
What's your number?
You're nice.
Can I touch you?
So that type of thing.
There's also been some empirical evidence that's come out based on police forces and local government data, which confirms that migrants are disproportionately involved in crime and particularly sexual crime, by a factor of 3.5 times more in one paper that was done by Migration Control.
So People don't have to go too far from social media.
There's a photograph of a migrant, you know, he's those people got their sort of TikTok video out.
They show him with his camera in his hand, taking a photograph of kids, and he's shooted away by adults.
You know, people know it is a national problem.
And where it also comes back to, old days, pensions used to get a 300-pound, 400-dollar annual allowance towards their heating bills.
And Labour scrapped that.
It was only £300.
Britain has the highest energy prices in the world, bar none.
I know the comparison is with America, is we pay four times per head for our electricity and gas, four times.
So if you've got a $100 a month bill in Canada or America, it will cost you $400 in Britain.
And the fact that migrants live in these literally four-star, they're very well-equipped, very well-appointed hotels, and they get three meals a day.
They get snacks.
Many work illegally as the Liveru type drivers.
And some earned 500, there's a report that came out today undercover investigation of the Telegraph.
These people earn £500 a week, you know, £2,000 a month, and they use that to pay off, some of them use some of the money to pay off the people who traffic them over here.
Flags and Migrant Hotels00:09:13
It's completely outrageous what's going on.
And we've got a weak, pathetic government aged and abetted by a woke civil service that allowing this, which is allowing this to happen all the time.
You know, I've been covering these phenomena for years in the UK, and I found that people were no longer as shy about saying I'm against immigration, I'm for reform window.
And maybe it's because I was in a different place.
I was in the north of England.
Maybe people were exasperated.
But I remember when I covered Naja Farage's own win in Clacton on C last year, a lot of people were sort of shy and they didn't want to say and they were very elusive.
You could tell what was on their mind, but they wouldn't say it.
Maybe it's just a different kind of people I was talking to, but I think the whole calling people racist thing doesn't work quite as well.
When I was there, it was interesting.
There was a train that brought about, I don't know, 15 protesters from Manchester.
So they weren't even from the neighborhood.
And they were chanting, you know, I forget what their group was called, something like Stand Against Racism.
Like their whole theme was like they didn't make the case for immigration, they didn't make the case for any, they just said, we are here to be the name callers, and we're going to call everyone we disagree with racist, and that's all we're doing.
And we have a chance that I don't think that works anymore in the UK.
Well, you're right.
Two things.
There was a rally in Birmingham, Stop Child Abuse.
Antifar at the far left turned up.
And they started shouting at the racists.
Sorry, how is child abuse associated with racism?
Of course not.
No, the Overson window, what is allowable and what you're allowed to say in public during the discourse and what you say across the dinner table has changed substantially.
That was he called the Overson window.
The Overson window has massively moved to the right.
And people have just run out of patience now.
Completely run out of patience with the government, both the Labour and the Conservatives.
They've done nothing about immigration.
They've done nothing about fixing our problems.
They even banned the French guy, Renault, Who was the author of The Great Replacement?
The government's even banned him from coming into the country.
Guy's Frankfurt said it out loud.
He's a scholar.
So, yeah, there's huge swathes of the population that are still reticent about saying they vote reform because they're being painted as racist and as a racist party.
People are still very reticent about it.
But again, you don't have to go too far from social media in this country.
And people don't give a damn anymore.
And they're telling it how it is and they're calling it out for what it is.
I think also, as well, there are two reasonably good media stations in this country, Talk TV and also GB News, who again are shameless in bringing you the facts on what is happening in migrant towns and what the migrants are up to.
So yeah, you know, I'm very, very pleased about that.
I think a lot of people in this country, particularly social media, have led the way on this, Ezra.
I think you're right.
I mean, when you think of six votes, that's, I mean, yes, the hundreds of council seats were very important.
And I see that the chairman of the Reform UK, Yusuf, says there's going to be a rule: any town councils run by reform will no longer have flags other than the British flag or the English flag.
So no pride flags, no Hamas flags.
And I just thought that is such a simple but symbolic move.
And I bet you so many Brits, even Labour Brits, would say, you know what?
That's right.
And that's common sense stuff.
And one of my favorite American commentators is Scott Jennings on CNN.
And he says the Democrats have been on the wrong end of the 80-20 issues too much.
He says that they've gone all in on transgenderism.
They've gone all in on these Mexican cartel gangs and that the public is 80-20.
I think that flags thing sounds like a nothing issue.
That is so symbolic.
And when people see that happening, they will say that's exactly what I voted for.
I'm excited.
I wish that in Canada and Australia, the Conservative Parties had Nigel Farage.
I mean, Farage is very cagey and he's very cautious in his own way.
But when he chooses to embrace something, he does it gleefully, not sheepishly.
And that may be a reason why he won.
And the so-called Conservative candidates in Australia called Liberal in Canada, it's called Conservative, didn't win.
I mean, maybe if Pierre Polyev said freeze immigration, deport the illegals, it would have caused a whole conflagration, but he would be fighting on an issue that he would win, as opposed to talking about Trump and the 51st state.
I don't know.
I'm just trying to reconcile Nigel Farage's huge win with the losses to sister.
Absolutely, yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, I guess it's a case of how successful are the progressives.
I'm shocked that Pierre Polyev wasn't elected.
I'm absolutely shocked.
I go, you've got flaming Justin Trude over all that time.
What are the most obnoxious little scumbag?
He made my skin full whenever I saw him on video or TV or whatever.
I think it's Dutton, I think, in Australia.
I think you're right.
They should have been bold.
But Dutton in Australia and Polyev in Canada should have been bold in their policies.
I think they were attracted a lot more votes.
I want to ask you, is the reason that the Liberals got in again?
Was it partly down to Donald Trump and his comments about Canada being the 51st state?
I think so.
I mean, a lot of people, that hurt their pride.
It was like an indecent proposal.
It would be like asking an already married person to propose marriage to them.
Some might laugh at it as a joke.
If someone was thinking of getting divorced, they might consider it, but most people would be offended.
And I think that that was what you call a luxury issue.
Like, a lot of boomers and seniors, they just, it offended them.
So they voted based on that, not based on real issues like cost of housing, inflation, immigration.
There's some real issues that real people have to deal with.
But if you're a wealthy boomer with your home paid off, you can afford to vote based on your feelings or a luxury issue.
I think that's what it was.
I'm still trying to figure it out.
I do believe Trump was central to moving a million votes over, and that's what did it.
We'll have to keep it a close eye.
I love the UK.
I love Ireland too.
And I don't think that's a contradiction.
And watching those two countries figure their way through these issues is very illuminating to me as a Canadian.
And how can people follow you on Twitter?
What's your ex-handle?
I'm Dave Atherton20.
D-A-V-E-A-T-H-E-R-T-O-N numbers 2-0, Dave Atherton20.
So I've stuck up an old tweet of mine from three years ago.
I had 20,000 followers, and I'm now nearing 300,000.
Can't believe it.
Unbelievable.
Well, I think it's because you call it like you see it, and you've got that great British command of the language and sense of humor.
And we love your style.
Thanks for taking some time with us tonight.
It's great to see you again.
As you're American, thank you very much.
Anytime.
All right.
There is David Atherton.
You can follow him at Dave Atherton20 on Twitter.
Stay with us.
Your letters to me next.
Hey, welcome back.
Your letters to me on Ireland and the firefighter we talked to over there.
Timmy Two Dog says Alberta needs firefighters.
Give the man a visa and relocate he and his family to Canada.
He's the kind of immigrant we need, one that contributes rather than freeloads.
It's sad to see Ireland in such dire times.
You're talking about this fireman.
I mean, he's a working firefighter, like he's employed.
But there are so few houses available in Ireland, and the prices are so pumped up because of these migrants.
He's literally homeless while working.
Shocking story.
Mary Kelly says this is exactly what happened in America until Trump and Elon took over.
