Ezra Levant examines how unchecked immigration reshapes Western societies, spotlighting Peel Region’s June 24th attempted kidnapping by Walid Khan (33 offenses) and two masked Middle Eastern suspects. UK data reveals Afghan/Pakistani migrants are 22x more likely to rape than British men, yet protests outside migrant hotels—housing single military-aged men—face police hesitation over racial backlash. A Scottish teen’s viral video of weapon-brandishing to protect her sister underscores systemic failures in addressing grooming and assaults by migrants. Meanwhile, trucker James Bodder’s asylum flight to the U.S. exposes Canadian court controversies, while listener critiques target Mark Carney’s speech ambiguity and cabinet diversity policies, framing integration as a cultural and legal battleground.

Hey, I think there's some human trafficking going on in Canada that rings a bell.
It's reminiscent of some of the kidnapping and rape gangs in Britain.
I'll tell you a story from Peel region, which is outside Toronto.
I'll read to you a press release from the police that's pretty chilling.
The craziest part is even after all these horrific things they're accused of, they're let out on bail.
You're not going to believe today's story.
That's ahead.

Tonight, is it a woman's world?
It's August 27th, and this is the Ezra Levant show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
Feminism has been around for a while.
The suffragette movement to give women the right to vote is about 120 years old in the West.
During the Second World War, women worked in the factories.
Men were overseas.
That accelerated the trend for women to leave the home to enter what had been a men's world.
When I was in university 30 or so years ago, women had reached parity in law school enrollment and actually were a majority in med school.
There were more women students than male students, even if the women continued to drop out of those professions at a higher rate than men did, usually to run and raise a family.
But there was radical feminism afoot when I was in campus politics, and it seemed like a vigorous force back then.
In the last 20 years, I think popular culture has completely adopted that.
It's not just pro-women and pro-girl.
I think it's actually anti-male.
Hollywood movies, TV sitcoms, even commercials.
Show me a TV commercial where a traditional dad is treated seriously or with respect, as opposed to being the goofy fossil who needs to be schooled by more with it demographics.
In schools, teachers are specifically and strategically told not to call upon boys.
Girls are promoted.
There are endless programs to boost girls in school, especially in science and math.
Men have been drummed out of so many places.
The entire industry called human resources, just made up really, can honestly be described as a way to neutralize male corporate power by replacing objective measurements like sales with feelings measurements.
It's what almost undid Twitter until Elon Musk fired the whole make work fake work HR wing and its political wing.
I think it was actually this video that did it.
Welcome to a day in my life as a Twitter employee.
So this past week, went to ESSA for the first time at a Twitter office, badged in.
Fighting Cultural Norms00:14:31
Honestly, took a moment to just soak everything in.
What a blessing.
Also started my morning off with an iced matcha from the perch.
Then I had a meeting, so quickly scheduled one of these little pod rooms, which were so cool.
They're literally noise-canceling.
Took my meeting, got ready for bunch.
Look how delicious this food looks.
Oh my goodness, I was so overwhelmed.
Then made my way down to this log cabin area.
I don't know what this is, but it was really cool.
Played some free stall with my friends to kind of unwind a bit.
Also found this really cool meditation room that I thought was super neat.
I didn't do any yoga, but they have this yoga room if you are a yogi.
So also thought that was really cool.
Had a couple more meetings in the afternoon, had a ton of projects that we needed to knock out.
See how we do my teammates.
Went to the library to kind of get some more work done.
Obviously, had to have our afternoon coffee, so made some espresso.
And then before leaving for the day, had some red wine that's on tap.
Went up to the rooftop and just honestly enjoyed the beautiful weather.
So awesome trip.
But my point is, women do rule the world, or at least the Western world, the luxurious postmodern West.
Not sure if women rule the world in Ukraine or Russia.
It's very much a men's time to fight and die.
That's what men are expected to do.
But there has been an anti-female insurgency in the West, even as women have been at the highest heights.
Men are now allowed to compete on women's sports teams, undermining the whole notion of what is a woman.
Boys are allowed to compete against girls, including in contact sports.
Even the Olympics let this male boxer smash female boxers in the face, and that's not sport.
That's something, but that's not sport.
Not just in the sports arena or field, but also in the change rooms.
And if you complain about a man being in the women's change room, you are transphobic.
Men are allowed to serve their time in prison in women's prisons if they just identify as a woman.
They often commit rapes again against fellow inmates.
Prison guards will punish women if they don't call men ma'am.
It's like this guy, remember him?
Give me my fucking money back.
Excuse me, sir.
There's a young man in here.
Excuse me, it's ma'am.
It is ma'am.
I can call the police if you'd like me to.
You need to settle down.
You need to settle down and mind your business.
Okay.
Ma'am, once again, ma'am.
I said both of you.
No, you said sir.
Once again, it's ma'am.
I actually said both of you guys.
Right beforehand, you fucking said sir.
Motherfucker, take it outside.
If you want to call me sir again, I will show you a fucking sir.
I apologize.
Motherfucker!
I apologize now.
Imagine having someone like that in the cell next to yours and being forced to comply and submit.
That's the insane left.
But on another part of the insane left, there's a misogynistic immigration that is a war on women as well.
As in bringing in millions of men from places where they rape women as a matter of course.
Scratch that.
They typically rape girls as a matter of course.
Here's a woman describing life in her home country of Afghanistan.
What is life like currently for women and girls under the Taliban in Afghanistan?
It can only be described as destitute, a deplorable state of being.
Women are.
Not only are they not equal right human beings under Taliban rule, but they are subhuman in the way that they are treated.
As you mentioned, women cannot speak out loud.
So what I'm doing right now is illegal in Afghanistan.
There's all sorts of weird and frankly inhuman things that are going on, including women being told that they should only be able to see through one eye.
Because why would you need two eyes if you're only staring at the pavement?
Women haven't been able to work.
My family members in Afghanistan lost their jobs the moment the Taliban came into power.
And let's not forget that the general policy by the Western world has been to freeze all assets and aid going into Afghanistan.
So what is this country that we are sending these women and men back to?
Well, it's a country where they can't make money, where there is no health or social care service.
We're talking about a group of men, the Taliban, who have created almost inhospitable conditions for Afghan women, not to mention gynecological care or schooling.
This is probably one of the worst places to be a woman on earth.
That interview was in the United Kingdom, where they are currently fast-tracking 200,000 Afghans right into UK neighborhoods.
This was actually the subject of that super injunction where the court said you weren't even allowed to talk about it.
200,000 Afghans.
According to the British police who track nationality, Afghans are 22 times more likely to commit rape than British men.
What are they doing?
That's what's driving the pink ladies' protests in the UK these past weeks.
Women dressed in pink, peacefully protesting outside migrant hotels where single military-aged migrant men are stashed.
So many of them house accused rapists.
These hotels have 100, 200, 300 men.
Typically, they have several accused rapists within them.
And that's not an accusation.
It's an observation.
That is how many there are.
I was in Epping, where a man who had landed just eight days earlier and went into the migrant hotel, he was accused of rape after eight days.
Of course, he was.
Where he comes from, a woman uncovered, not wearing a burqa, not protected by a male guardian, is fair game.
The police in the UK don't do much because they're worried they'll be called racist if they do.
So they leave women and girls to fend for themselves.
Here's a couple of tweens.
One is 14, I understand, one is 12, fending off the advances of a migrant man in Scotland.
Now, when I was in Norwich and Epping, women said they had complained to police about migrant men lurking around playgrounds and taking photos of young girls.
And the police were called and said there was nothing they could do about it.
So watch this 14-year-old girl who clearly has been through this so many times and the police were of no avail.
Here's a 14-year-old girl from Scotland brandishing a knife and an axe to try in her own way as a 14-year-old girl to scare off a migrant man who clearly had his eye on her sister for a while.
Now the Scottish accent here is very thick, but she's saying things you can hear some of it like, get away from her, don't touch her, get away from us, don't touch my little sister.
She's 12.
Now the migrant knows what he's doing too.
He's asking her to brandish the weapons because he's going to show the video to the police and get her arrested, which is exactly what happened.
Here, take a look at the video.
Yes, you have a knife.
You are fucking wealthy.
You are fucking bad and catch me.
You are fucking kid bashers.
Show the knife.
That's it.
That's it.
Show the knife.
So the knife, that's it.
That's why my life threats to you and fucking 12.
I think that was in Aberdeen.
There's been some flag-bearing protests about what happened there.
The police don't care.
They're too afraid to arrest any migrants.
There's a number of Brits who try to take these migrants on by stinging them, by setting up online fake profiles, posing as 12-year-olds or whatever.
And these migrant sex pests meet up, arrange a meeting with girls or boys.
And they actually find it's a group of, I guess, vigilantes.
There's so many examples.
There's a different example posted online almost every day.
There are so many of them.
It's when you take people from a low-trust society and dump them into a high-trust society.
It's the girls who will be the sacrifices.
Police grudgingly come and arrest the men sometimes.
And sometimes they do get jailed for a few months, but mainly they're let go with a warning by the system.
I wish I were kidding.
There are hundreds of these clips.
Here's a few of them.
What do you expect when you bring in millions of men from a rape culture?
Do you think a quick flight over from Pakistan or Afghanistan is enough to change an entire lifetime worth of beliefs?
Take a look.
So basically, right, today you're going to be arrested by the police.
Trigger warning, guys.
This is a really bad trigger warning, this one.
One for sexual groom of a child.
Two cause a child to watch sexual acts times 186.
Yeah, but you know more.
Well, you've been turned up to have sex with this child.
Yes.
Yes.
You have said that in this here.
You have said that.
Haven't you?
You never.
You sent her three videos.
Pornographic videos to a child.
What gives you the right?
Did you talk about licking his ass?
What?
Did you talk about licking his ass before you sledged your dick into his bum?
No.
Did you say that have I what the problem if I meet him, right?
So you think the only problem is if you actually meet him?
Yeah.
Right.
So you don't see a problem talking online with a child sexually.
You don't see a problem?
It's against the law.
You're not allowed to talk sexually to children.
He's a 14-year-old boy.
Those are just three examples.
I promise you I could give you 300 if you had the time.
Hey, let me put it another way.
Would you send your 14-year-old daughter by herself to go for a walk in a park in rural Pakistan or Afghanistan or heck, in urban Pakistan or Afghanistan without you there to guard her?
Of course you wouldn't.
That would be insane.
But then why would you do that same thing if you brought over a million people from Afghanistan and Pakistan and Syria to the UK?
It's not the geography in Pakistan or Afghanistan that's the danger.
It's the people.
It's the culture.
Not all of them, of course.
But 22 times more often in Afghanistan, according to UK police.
There was a terrible murder of a young Dutch girl a few days ago by a Syrian migrant.
By the way, why are there any Syrians still in the West?
The war in Syria is over.
They can go home.
In fact, 2 million Syrians have actually gone home.
But why are they still here in Canada or the United Kingdom in Germany or the Netherlands?
Well, you know why.
So a Syrian migrant is accused of murdering a Dutch girl days after he was accused of raping another.
Shocking story.
And look at what the chief imam of Ireland, who's from Pakistan himself, has to say about it.
It's just astonishing.
I'm going to read to you from a Facebook post that he deleted after the Irish were not too pleased with it.
This is from the top Muslim cleric in Dublin.
It's just incredible.
The murder of 17-year-old Lisa in the Netherlands is heartbreaking.
Now, let me skip to his prescription.
Although men are the source of violence against women, we must also face a painful reality.
People coming from a different cultural context are at greater risk of committing acts, such acts, when there is no proper cultural awareness training or integration.
Unfortunately, across Europe, including here in Ireland, we see that asylum seekers often receive no meaningful orientation education or guidance on societal values, gender equality, and respect for women.
Integration is not just about accommodation, but about safety and shared values.
Yeah, I think you're right, mate.
I'll read a little more.
We must not ignore these gaps.
God forbid that someone like this, something like this happens here.
Authorities must view integration and cultural awareness as an essential part of asylum policy that protects both vulnerable people in society and the asylum seekers themselves from isolation and marginalization.
So what is he saying?
Because some of the things he's saying there, I just said.
These people are coming from rape cultures.
They know rape.
They accept rape.
Rape is what happens where they're from.
But I think he's saying that rape is part of them.
It's who they are.
He's sort of saying the quiet part out loud.
But then he's saying that it's Ireland's fault and Ireland caused it and Ireland's not fixing it because they're not giving more guidance to these migrants on not raping or murdering women.
Seriously, he's talking about this in reaction to a Dutch girl being murdered by an accused rapist.
Like that's the kind of thing that a friendly pamphlet is going to drum out of someone who has been raised in that culture.
The thing about Pakistani rape gangs, which the Western mind cannot fathom, is that the rape gangs were often families, brothers, cousins, uncles, fathers, and sons.
They committed these rapes together as a group, one after another, with a deliberately white Gentile victim.
Political Asylum Claims00:12:39
That's unthinkable in the West.
Rape is so depraved, you would never say, I'm going out with 20 buddies to commit this heinous crime together.
You wouldn't know 20 rapists.
You wouldn't trust that they would keep your rapists secret.
That is what's been going on for decades in the UK.
It's astonishing.
And the Pakistani Muslim Imam of Dublin is saying, you know, we need some integration.
We need some training.
Can we train people not to rape and murder?
That's what this Pakistani imam is saying.
It's here, but don't be mad at the murderer.
He just didn't know, and that's our fault.
So that's Ireland for you.
Say, do you think we have this kind of thing in Canada?
I don't know.
Here's a news release just from today from the Peel region, which surrounds Toronto.
Headline, arrest made.
Additional suspects sought in attempted kidnapping.
I'll read it to you.
The 11 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau has made an arrest and is searching for two remaining suspects in connection with an attempted kidnapping in Mississauga.
On June 24th at about 10.20 p.m., two young women were walking near Betrania Road, West in Queen Street South, when three masked suspects approached and tried to lure them to a light-colored Audi SUV.
The suspects chased and attempted to grab the victims with reports that one may have had a gun and another a knife.
A passerby intervened and the suspects fled westbound in the Audi.
The victims were not physically injured.
On August 18th, following a thorough investigation, 26-year-old Walid Khan of Etobicoke was arrested and charged with 33 offenses related to kidnapping, firearms, auto theft, and more.
A search of his residence also led to the seizure of two loaded, prohibited firearms, an AR-style rifle capable of automatic fire and a pistol, both equipped with prohibited high-capacity magazines, along with over 110 rounds of ammunition.
At the time of arrest, Khan was on probation for prior violent offenses and prohibited from possessing firearms.
He has since been released with an ankle monitor.
You let him go.
The two remaining suspects are described as Middle Eastern.
You don't say.
Males, late teens to mid-20s, medium-build, have seen the public are advised to not approach and call 911 immediately.
The suspect vehicle, a light-colored Audi SUV, also remains outstanding.
Yeah.
Hey, guys, we've got that here in Canada now, too, don't we?
And no, I don't think pamphlets are going to solve the problem.
Yeah.
Things have never been better for women in the West, but that's falling apart pretty quickly, don't you think?
Stay with us for more.
Hey, earlier today, Tamera Ugolini was down at the courthouse in Ottawa.
Interesting story.
The last trucker who's been charged by the government is named James Bodder, and he has decided to make an asylum claim in the United States.
He's gone to the U.S. asking for refugee status, saying that his political freedom is vaporized.
He's in danger in Canada.
And can he be accepted there?
I don't know.
I mean, that's sort of an incredible thing to say.
It's like those U.S. Hollywood celebrities who say, if Trump wins again, I'm leaving for Canada.
They never do, thank goodness.
But Mr. Bodder actually says and believes and thinks that his life is in danger in Canada because of his political point of view, because the courts cannot be relied on to be fair.
So he wants to be a refugee in the States.
Now, I don't know how that's going to go, but it's a very interesting story.
But to foil that, the Canadian government wants him to come back quickly to face charges, I think, on mischief.
He's being charged with a few trucker offenses.
But the thing is, if he were to come back now, that would basically deflate his whole asylum claim.
Here, enough from me.
Our Tamara Ugalini was on the scene and talked to the lawyer for Mr. Bodder, our friend Lawrence Greenspawn.
Here, take a look.
For Rebel News, I'm Tamara Ugolini here at the Ottawa Courthouse, and I'm joined by criminal defense lawyer Lawrence Greenspawn, who just submitted on behalf of James Bodder.
He's in a desperate fight for freedom against tyrannical government overreach, whose defense from political persecution in Canada is being handled at no charge to him by the Democracy Fund.
And if you want to chip in to help cover his legal fees, you can do so at thelastrucker.com because Bodr is really a remnant of the historic 2022 Grassroots Freedom Convoy, a movement that shook the world when ordinary working class men and women stood up against government overreach being justified for years under the guise of fighting COVID-19.
The truckers honked for liberty, for the right to live free from mandates and control, for bodily autonomy and those who couldn't live under this oppressive regime anymore.
But in Canada, once known as the True North Strong and Free, it had more of a totalitarian tiptoe under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's iron grip than many had ever experienced firsthand before.
Convoy participants and supporters alike had their voices silenced, their bank accounts frozen, and their lives turned upside down, even though the government's unprecedented invocation of a revamped wartime legislation called the Emergencies Act was deemed unreasonable and charter violating by the federal court.
Despite this, Botter faces harsh punishment and political persecution in Canada for his actions, branded a criminal for his opposition to intrusive and indiscriminate government edicts.
He's been driven away from his home, his livelihood, and ultimately, his country.
Botter faces multiple criminal charges, including mischief, intimidation, obstructing an officer, and two counts of counseling to commit indictable offenses.
It's so bad that he has sought political asylum in the United States.
Canadians thought the Charter would protect them, but we don't have absolute protections against government overreach like they do in the U.S. with the First Amendment.
The Canadian Charter emphasizes justification for freedom limitation, while the First Amendment focuses on preventing government infringement.
But thankfully, Botter has the supportive democracy fund and a dedicated U.S. immigration lawyer navigating his case for the principles that made the Freedom Convoy a global symbol of resistance.
Today, Mr. Greenspawn was acting as an agent on behalf of Botter in his defense.
It was very short and sweet, what we heard in the proceedings today.
Can you give our viewers just a quick overview of what happened in the courtroom?
Well, the first thing is that James Botter wanted to be present today either by teleconference or by Zoom out of respect for the court.
He can't be present in person because, and this was verified before the judge, he can't be present in person because to do so would mean he would forfeit his application for asylum, which is pending in the United States.
So he couldn't be here.
We basically said to the judge, look, in light of that, why don't we adjourn the trial and see how things go on the application for asylum?
And judge was not willing to do that and issued a warrant for James Botter's arrest.
Part of Justice, I believe it's Phillips' remarks included that, you know, Botter is asserting things like the courts are corrupt and they're biased and he will not get a fair trial in Canada.
What do you make of that and the justice's response to those claims?
Well, that's certainly, I don't make any comment at all about the basis for his application for asylum in the United States.
That's something that's being handled by lawyers out of Buffalo.
You know, anytime you hear those kinds of allegations, it's most unfortunate.
And the fact of the matter is that, as the judge indicated, that the courts are not biased, that the courts are quite capable of making reasonable decisions and fair decisions.
But that's really an argument that will have to be advanced by Mr. Botter and his application for asylum.
Which I gather can take anywhere from six months to a year and a half.
And so the proceedings are scheduled to begin, I believe it's the second week of November and slated for three weeks.
What does that potentially look like moving forward?
I mean, obviously you haven't consulted with clients yet, but how does that look knowing that Botter will then have to forfeit his political asylum claim, which doesn't sound like he's willing to do?
No, he's not willing to do that, and it's anticipated that he will not attend in November.
And what we were trying to do here was allot that timeframe, that three-week timeframe for trial, put it off to some other time once the application for asylum has been adjudicated in the United States.
I don't think he'll be here for the trial in November.
It's just a matter of courtroom efficiency.
And we know that the courts are backlogged.
And keeping three weeks on hold for a trial that's not likely to happen is not what we wanted.
Right.
The justice mentioned one other thing, which is the third safe country agreement between Canada and the United States.
When he issued a warrant today and noted that agreement, would that compel something like the United States to extradite?
I mean, what are the actions there?
What do you think that reference was about?
The only thing I can guess at this point, there is, of course, an extradition treaty between Canada and the United States.
But while an application for asylum is pending, and this is really a matter of U.S. law, I can't imagine that they would act on an extradition request from Canada if there was one even forthcoming.
So that request would have to be put forward apart from just a general kind of warrant.
Exactly.
So if Bodder does come back into the country, granted that a warrant was issued today, he would be immediately arrested.
That's correct.
And so moving forward, what can you say that looks like, you know, in addition to your previous comments about the three weeks of trial that are unlikely to proceed?
Well, there's really not much else.
If he's not here, he can't be facing a trial, and he's not going to be here and give up his application for asylum in the States.
Do you have any idea what any lawyers in the United States might be saying?
I know, for instance, the U.S. State Department has kind of taken an interest in free speech and expression and especially censorship with some of their allies like in the UK and the EU.
Could Canada be next?
Well, the American system in terms of free speech is, I mean, we drafted our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the fundamental freedoms in that Charter, freedom of expression, freedom of peaceful assembly.
Those are things that come directly from the United States.
In the United States, however, they also have the protection of not just life liberty of the person, but the right to enjoyment of property, which is something we don't have here in Canada in our charter.
So it's quite a different argument where you have a peaceful protest, albeit one that lasted for three weeks, it's going to receive a certain treatment in the United States.
It might well be different here in Canada.
What's your message to political dissidents in today's kind of legal landscape here in Canada or anybody who would like to protest things like government overreach as the truckers were?
Well, my message has been, it has not been heeded, but my message is that if you have freedom of expression and you express yourself in a peaceful way and you assemble in a peaceful way, then that should, excuse the pun, trump any infringement on rights to enjoyment of property.
Empty Suit, Deep Trouble00:02:49
Well, thanks so much for your time.
Lawrence, appreciate your remarks.
For Rebel News here in Ottawa, I'm Tamara Ugolini.
If you would like to chip in to assist with James Bodder's legal defense here in Canada, you can do so at thelastrucker.com.
At that website, you can find out more information about this case and, of course, help support his legal defense.
That's thelasttrucker.com.
Well, that's interesting.
Hey, I got some letters from you to me.
W.D. Houston says, I've known many empty suits in four decades of corporate life.
Mark Carney is the epitome of an empty suit.
You know, I want to say that because he sounds that way.
He's so bland and monotone, and he says things with very little meaning.
And any guy who says, let me be clear, get ready for him not to be clear.
I mean, he really is a duck speaker.
But I find it hard to believe that a duck speaker could rise right to the top of the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the World Economic Forum, where he was a director, the United Nations, where he was an ambassador.
Brookfield.
I mean, I just, I think maybe he's very, very clever at saying very little and letting on very little.
I mean, I would hope that he's got some deeper competence, that he's just very cryptic.
Now, that's not good for a prime minister who needs to keep in touch with the people.
But I think it's better than the, like, if he is an empty suit, we're in deep trouble, friends.
Next letter from you guys, thank you, is from Wally Bartfey, who says, Carney is opposed to Castle Law because Brookfield won't make any profits from it.
Yeah, you know what's so weird is he owns 600 different companies' stock, which is astonishing to begin with.
I mean, if you own a company's stock, I imagine you have a few thousand bucks in each, or maybe tens of thousands of you don't have like one share.
He's got 600 different companies.
I think he could be a billionaire, but why won't he sell it?
Why is he holding on to that?
That's so weird.
PD says, Melanie Jolie is the top champion of babbling duck speech.
She looks like she was reading an invisible sheet, and it's generated by AI.
I think you're right.
I think she really is the worst.
There were so many liberal cabinet ministers who were just appointed for demographic reasons.
They were the right gender, color, and from the right region.
You know, there's something to say for taking your cabinet from the elected MPs, but there's also something recommending the American approach, which is choose your cabinet from the entire country.
Like you can choose the best people in the whole country for your cabinet.
It doesn't have to be the 150 people or so who were elected for you.
I don't know.
It's a real mess, but the problem starts at the top, doesn't it?
