Ezra Levant and David Mendes critique the CFL’s October 3rd, 2025, "Diversity is Strength" initiative, where helmets and uniforms were altered for identity-focused months while ignoring groups like Latinos or Punjabis. Bryant Greenbaum joins to expose the Law Society of Ontario’s refusal to revoke accreditation for Harsha Walla, who praised October 7th, 2023, attacks and excluded Jewish attendees, despite safety risks. He also challenges the Toronto Public Library’s inclusion of Hamas: A Beginner’s Guide and sues a college for letting anti-Semitic immigration consultant McDonald Scott—who vandalized a Jewish-owned bookstore—keep working at CARRANAZAN LLP. Their argument: anti-Zionism now fuels systemic Jewish erasure, mirroring pre-Holocaust narratives. [Automatically generated summary]
Tonight, a not-so-funny thing happened the other day.
I tuned into a football game and it morphed into a diversity training sermon.
It's Friday, October 3rd, 2025.
I'm David Mendes and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you sensorious boobug.
Say, sports fans, last week I tuned into a few Canadian Football League games.
Even though I love football, both CFL and NFL, I was left utterly confounded and confused.
Now, by way of explanation, I wasn't identifying as an American watching his first CFL game, thereby constantly screaming at the TV set, hey, why the hell are these teams always punting on third down?
No, rather, what left me somewhat mystified was that something appeared to be a wee bit off regarding the team's uniforms and helmet logos, which is to say there was a smattering of orange coloring on those helmets and uniforms, even though the only team in the league that actually makes use of that color on a regular basis is the British Columbia Lions.
The team logos on the helmets were also modified.
For example, here's the Du Reguer helmet of the Toronto Argonauts.
And now here's a photo of the helmet the Argos donned last Friday.
Hmm.
So I did a little research and came across an article in sportslogos.net.
Yes, folks, there's actually a website committed to covering the world of sports logos.
Go figure.
Anyway, the article clarified the reimagining of those helmets and jerseys.
Quote, League White, tonight's looks tie into the CFL's Diversity is Strength platform, which amplifies year-round programming across Black History Month, International Women's Day, Asian Heritage Month, Pride, and Truth and Reconciliation.
Last year, all nine CFL clubs introduced Indigenous design team logos by local artists to honor the game's ties with Indigenous communities.
End quote.
And to think I thought I was trying to get away from the Looney Tunes environment that is our real world simply by trying to watch a football game?
I mean, good golly, Miss Molly.
Where do I even start?
Well, how about this diversity is strength platform?
Two things come to mind.
I'm of the opinion that strength is strength.
If diversity happens to be an added feature of that aforementioned strength, well, so be it.
But simply being diverse, whatever that means, doesn't necessarily mean that one is strong.
Like, who the heck is the CFL commissioner these days?
Justin Trudeau?
And is this the start of things to come for the CFL?
Will gridiron fans see modified helmets and uniforms in the near future that portray the themes of Black History Month, International Women's Day, Asian Heritage Month, and Pride?
Please no.
If I see one more stylized rainbow this year, I think I'm going to vomit.
Then again, if Justin Trudeau is indeed CFL Commissioner, perhaps commemorating Black History Month will give our XPM yet another excuse to don Blackface.
Another thing, when you think about it, the CFL's diversity platform isn't all that diverse, is it?
Oh, sure, natives and Asians and women and blacks and LGBTers are being singled out for recognition.
But what about the Latinos?
What about the Punjabis?
Closer to home, what about the Scots?
You know, I think a football helmet decked out in the Menzies tartan would look super cool.
The modern hunting tartan, to be precise.
Seriously, when it comes to the diversity sweepstakes, who decides which minority groups are honored and which ones are summarily ignored?
What are the rules?
I really, really want to know.
Speaking of the rules, here's another thing.
How is it that the use of indigenous symbolism in sports suddenly has gone from verboten to vogue, at least in the terms of the CFL?
I mean, post-George Floyd, Cancel Culture slammed down a tomahawk big time on many teams using native logos and nicknames.
I don't get the connection either, folks, but never mind.
First to go was the Washington Redskins.
D.C.'s football team is now known as the Washington Commanders.
Commanders?
What are you commanding?
Surrender?
Next to go was the Cleveland Indians.
Cleveland's baseball team is now known as the Guardians.
What are they guarding exactly?
Perhaps Cleveland's Cuyahoga River, a waterway that is so polluted, it sometimes catches on fire.
Only in Cleveland.
North of the border, the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos were also deemed to be offside.
Poor Edmonton football fans.
They're now stuck with a team that has the nickname Elks.
And as an aside, isn't the plural for elk the same as the singular?
Elk.
I mean, who calls a herd of elk elks?
Congratulations, Edmonton.
You now have the most grammatically incorrect nickname this side of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
But here's the thing.
Edmonton wanted to keep its iconic EE logo, so it needed a nickname to begin with the letter E. Wouldn't the obvious choice be the Edmonton Energy?
You know, with the club being situated in oil and gas-rich Alberta, after all.
Oh, wait a minute, what am I saying?
That nickname might be offensive to the climate change cooks.
How dare you?
Oh, and by the way, folks, the left-wing loonies aren't quite done yet.
They're now targeting the remaining native-themed teams in sports.
That includes the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves, and the Chicago Blackhawks.
By the way, the CBC isn't even waiting around for the Blackhawks to get officially canceled.
So it is that the woeful woesters at the CBC will only refer to the Chicago Blackhawks on air as Chicago's NHL team.
I'm serious.
And guess what?
You're paying for this fake news, folks.
And another thing, these modified CFL logos and uniforms, they're not so much Indigenous designed, rather they're indigenous modified.
You know, piggybacking additional design elements on an existing logo is a big mistake when it comes to basic graphic design, in which less is always more.
It's kind of like unnecessarily tinkering with a Porsche 9-11, you know, when you put one of those ludicrous whale-tail spoilers on the back.
That's not innovation.
That's regression.
Indeed, in the world of sports, minimalism wins the day when it comes to logos.
I speak of the iconic NY of the New York Yankees, the SF of the San Francisco 49ers, the CH of the Montreal Canadiens, and of course the majestic winged wheel of the Detroit Red Wings.
Those logos are all instantly recognizable and are design masterpieces.
As for the Indigenous themed CFL logos, sorry, they all add up to a dog's breakfast.
Case in point, check out the modified logo of the Montreal Alouettes.
Now, to me, it looks like a bird shedding its feathers somehow got caught in a spider web.
As for the Hamilton Tiger Cats, well, is Tony the Tiger actually sporting Blackface these days?
Meanwhile, the CFL team that takes the cake and all of the candles with it when it comes to logo virtue signaling is surely the Saskatchewan Rough Riders.
Yes, the Ryder's modified logo is not just Indigenous themed, but also pays tribute to the LGGBD TTTII, et cetera, et cetera, community, you know, so that the millions of people in the Rough Riders fan base aren't left out the ones who, you know, identify as two spirit.
So for example, what's two spirit?
Well, two spirit sounds like there's someone they don't know whether they're, you know, fish or foul.
They don't know whether they're frick or frack.
So they're clearly confused.
By the way, that was former Liberal Party of Canada President Stephen LaDrew being interviewed by Tucker Carlson back in 2017.
LaDrew was fired by Bell Media after that segment aired.
You see, folks, in Canada, it is now strictly forbidden to call confuse people, confuse people.
Hey, how you digging your liberalism these days, LaDrew?
Finally, look what the artist did to the Calgary Stampeders logo.
He hikes it.
Looks like the poor horse is getting electrocuted.
And, you know, if any CFL logo lent itself to a little native theme modification, surely it was Calgary's charging horse, which is to say, why not place an Indigenous chief atop that stallion?
I think that logo would actually look cool.
But then again, did I just cross some imaginary line here regarding what is allowed and what is not allowed when it comes to native icons?
It's also confusing, isn't it?
And again, I beg of you, please tell me, what are the rules?
Now, I did seek out guidance from the media relations department of the CFL.
I sent along a series of queries regarding the diversity of strength platform.
Alas, no response to my emails.
Perhaps the CFL is only responding to smoke signals these days.
If so, that's something that is beyond my pay grade.
So, in the final analysis, I have two thoughts.
First, as you may have noticed, I've dropped my du regueur fedora in favor of my gorgeous Washington Redskins ball cap.
This now defunct NFL logo and nickname was canceled because it is allegedly offensive.
Yet the question arises, offensive to whom?
Exhibit A in 2016, none other than the Washington Post or the Washington Compost, as the great one Mark Levin likes to call this newspaper, exclusively polled Native Americans regarding the name and logo of the Washington Redskins.
And get this, folks, more than 90% of these respondents were not, I repeat, not offended by the logo and nickname of this franchise.
By the way, it's a modern-day miracle that the Post actually published the results of its poll in the first place, given its woke editorial stance on such issues.
And hey, sports fans, here's a fun fact for you.
The modern-day Redskins logo was rendered in 1971.
It was based upon a composite of Native American photographs, including one of the early 20th century Blackfeet chief, Two Guns White Calf.
He was born near Cut Bank Creek on the Blackfeet Reservation.
As for the man who actually created the Redskins logo, that would be none other than the late Walter Blackie Wetzel.
And get this, Wetzel was a Native American himself.
He was a member of the Blackfeet Tribe in Montana, serving as a tribal chairman.
He also served as president of the National Congress of American Indians.
Oh, poor Mr. Wetzel, didn't he get the memo that his artwork is racist, even though, well, Wetzel himself is Native American?
But clearly, replacing Redskins with commanders was a fix for a problem that did not exist.
You see, everyday Natives subscribe to a different agenda than those woke natives running official native organizations these days, as well as those pearl-clutching, pale-faced liberals that are forever hell-bent on virtue signaling.
And really, isn't this NFL Indigenous agenda all about virtue signaling as opposed to, you know, actually doing something tangible for Indigenous people?
Law Society's Crossed Line00:14:38
Which is to say, maybe the executives at the CFL feel good about themselves ordering the teams to splash some orange on their football uniforms come late September.
But how does that rectify the real problems that too many Indigenous people face on a daily basis in this country, such as the drinking water crisis?
Do you know, currently more than 30 reserves in Canada are under a boil water advisory?
That's scandalous.
Here's my advice for the CFL.
Your bailiwick is to operate a professional football league, a football league that faces challenges right now in so many marketplaces.
And these challenges are serious to the very survival of certain CFL teams.
And no, those ludicrous rule changes going into effect next season that are meant to Americanize the Canadian game is no cure-all.
And golly, the Canadian Football League embracing U.S. football rules?
Is elbows up already extinct?
But if the CFL insists on getting involved with social justice issues, how about, I don't know, kick-starting a fundraiser to address the boil water advisory that remains on way too many reserves?
That would actually be doing something good.
That would be less of a fumble and more of a touchdown.
One last thing to all the sports commissioners.
People tuning into sports are doing so for escapism from the real wacky woke world.
Which is to say, when I watch the Argonauts, I'm hoping to see, you know, a football game, not some gridiron-themed lecture on how diversity is strength.
Well, folks, it's hard to believe we're just mere days away from the second anniversary of that grotesque massacre that happened in Israel on October 7th, 2023.
And what have we seen these past couple of years?
Well, inexplicably, an increase in anti-Semitism.
And not only that, anti-Semitism manifesting itself in the most unlikely places.
And I speak of the Law Society of Ontario, the Toronto Public Library, and even a certain immigration consultant, but blowing the whistle on that trio is my guest.
His name is Bryant Greenbaum.
He is self-described as a Zionist human rights lawyer based here in Toronto.
So, Bryant, let's get right to business.
Starting with the Law Society of Ontario, you wrote a piece for Honest Reporting in which you're saying you are taking the governing body of lawyers in this province to the Human Rights Tribunal.
Why is that?
I am taking the Law Society of Ontario to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal because they accredited a speaker who has espoused what I consider to be anti-Semitic language at a protest and more specifically praising the October 7th paraglider attack.
So who is the speaker, Brian?
The speaker's name was Harsha Walla.
And she was invited by the Law Union of Ontario.
And they're not a union.
They're a civil society loose group of individuals who do work on some good stuff like homelessness and racial profiling.
So they do work on some good stuff.
But they've got on board with anti-Israel rhetoric.
And more specifically, this organization invited this Harshawala to speak, well knowing that Jews would not want to attend such an event.
And the Jewish bar was basically going to be excluded because it would be distasteful for the Jewish bar to attend this accredited CPD EDI.
Brian, I would argue, Jewish or not, why in the world would the Law Society or the Law Union invite a speaker praising the greatest slaughter of Jews post-Holocaust?
This was a horrific terrorist act.
And I mean, I am baffled by that.
Would they invite a neo-Nazi to address the membership, the rank and file, being an apologist for Adolf Hitler?
What's the unspoken story of all the people they could invite in that they would invite this person to glorify that day of atrocity?
Well, the interesting part of this whole thing really is that the Law Society is content with their decision to accredit it and to not revoke that accreditation.
And I've learned that through their pleadings, through their arguments in the Human Rights Tribunal complaint.
So basically, what they're saying is exactly what you have just pauffered.
They are basically saying the gates are open.
This law union invites someone who is some would say is unsavory to the to to for continuing professional development.
The law society accredits that.
And basically what the law society is saying is any group can invite whoever you want.
You want to invite KKK members for CPD?
You can.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Well, wait one second.
Okay.
I'll make you a deal.
All right.
If you know a KKK member and you arrange for me to meet him, I'm willing to apply to the Law Society for accreditation on that.
Interesting.
For the record, folks, I don't know anything.
Neither do I.
Okay, then.
So, needless to say, what was the outcome of that presentation?
I mean, did people get up and walk out?
Was there heckling?
Or was she preaching to the converted?
She was probably preaching to the converted, but I didn't go.
I'm Jewish.
I was not going to attend an accredited Law Society of Ontario continuing professional development lecture.
I was not going to attend that when the speaker praised the paragliders on October 7th.
I, as a Jew, and from my understanding, all of my Jewish colleagues in the Jewish bar weren't interested in attending either.
Sure, there could have been a few sprinklings of anti-Zionist Jews who thought it was cool, but the majority of the Jewish bar felt it was repugnant and would not want to step foot in that venue.
Yeah, you know, we're pretty much free speech absolutists here at Rebel News Bryant, but I've always said there is a line in the sand.
And that line is when you advocate harm, violence, even death to an individual or an identifiable group of individuals.
And that's the line being crossed here.
I'm sorry if you are praising terrorists for massacring mostly innocent Israelis, because there are people from other countries there that were caught up in the carnage.
That is completely offside.
But I must interrupt and say one thing, though.
According as a lawyer, that is offensive.
And I believe in free speech too.
I even believe that the encampments at the University of Toronto, to a certain extent, were legitimate forms of nonviolent disobedience.
And Martin Luther King was an expert in that.
So what I am saying from a lawyer's point of view is, and from a member of the bar, is once you cross the rubric into asking for accreditation, you're basically telling the law society, please endorse this speaker, please endorse this lecture.
And knowing that a lot of the Jewish bar in Ontario would find that offensive and would not attend the event.
So is the Law Society basically saying, members, invite who you want, do some KKK CPD?
And that sounds pretty good, KKK CPD, and do as you wish, apply for accreditation.
We don't care.
We trust you.
Well, I don't trust who undertook this conference, the Law Union of Ontario, and I don't trust the Law Society anymore as a lawyer.
And that's sad.
I'm a lawyer, a human rights lawyer, if I could backtrack for a moment.
I'm a human rights lawyer.
As you introduced me, a Zionist human rights lawyer.
I have taught international human rights law at Osgoode Hall Law School for many years.
I love the law.
I love international human rights law.
I've taught it at Osgoode Hall for many years.
I worked in Congo.
I worked in South Africa on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
I have worked with Indigenous issues, child welfare issues at the Ontario Human Rights Commission.
I can go on with my accolades.
I'm a true human rights advocate.
But I'll tell you one thing: if the Law Society feels that this is appropriate, I've lost faith in them.
And I can't even, whenever I have to pay my dues or file a report, it stings.
I can tell you, Brian, from a lot of lawyers have reached out to me over the last several months with complaints about the, I guess, the wokeness of the Law Society of Ontario, which, by the way, didn't it used to be called the Law Society of Upper Canada?
And maybe because of wokeism, that was too colonialist, they replaced Upper Canada with Ontario.
But here's the thing: to the heart of your matter, where does it stand right now in terms of the Human Rights Tribunal hearing this?
So, right now, I'm waiting for an interim order.
And this is going to be the thing that knocks you off your stool.
And you're going to not believe this.
I asked the Human Rights Tribunal for an interim order to have a confidentiality order for my home address.
And the Human Rights Tribunal refused to redact my home address part of a confidentiality order, despite Hershawala giving a speech at a protest prior to it becoming a terrorist organization.
The speech where she was giving, Samadoun was the organizer of this speech.
She gave a speech, and that later became a terrorist organization.
I asked the Human Rights Tribunal, redact my home address, please.
Based on personal safety.
Personal safety of me.
There's synagogues near my home.
I said to the Human Rights Tribunal, there's synagogues.
I have a young family.
You know, I don't want a terrorist organization getting my home address.
And the Law Society, at least I give them credit, said, we take no position.
But the law union, the law union said, this guy's a fake.
He's got nothing to worry about, terrorists or otherwise, the law union said.
So that's going through the process, this interim order.
I've appealed that confidentiality ruling that says I can't have my address redacted.
That's being appealed.
But the next step will likely be is the law union and the law society will file motions to summarily dismiss this matter based upon no reasonable prospect of success.
So any big organization, any David versus Goliath, I'm fighting the Law Society.
I'm fighting the Law Union of Ontario, which has 400 lawyers, and little old me, they're going to bring motions, they're going to try to mess me up, and they're going to do one thing for sure is they're going to claim that this has no reasonable prospect of success.
I say to them, give me a break.
Interesting.
Well, so many millennia ago, the kid with the slingshot, the prohibitive underdog, emerged Victoria.
So there's that bit of history on your side, Brian.
But I guess this is going to be months before it's heard.
Assuming it is heard, do you think you're going to get a sympathetic audience at the Human Rights Tribunal?
Personally speaking, Brian, I consider that tribunal to be a kangaroo court that doesn't adhere to the proper rules of law or of the court system.
And ideologically speaking, I think you might have your a lot cut out for you in terms of making the case for them to rule in favor, or do I have this wrong?
Well, you have it partly right, partly wrong.
And how do you have it wrong?
Winning is not always the ultimate goal.
Sometimes all you want to do is, if I can get past this motion to summarily dismiss this for no lack of success or possibility of no lack of success, if I can go over that hurdle and get to the discovery stage, I want the emails from the law society to see what they said.
Holy what is Greenbaum?
Greenbaum saying that this person was praising the paragliders and he's complaining and saying, why are we accrediting this crap?
And I want the emails between the law society.
I want the emails at the law union that says, hey, at the law union, we know this person is offensive to Jews, but who gives a f about Jews?
So that's the type of stuff that I want to get, even if I don't win.
Yeah.
And keep us appraisal of that.
Number two on the list, this is an amazing story.
You discovered that the Toronto Public Library in its curriculum, it has a book that is entitled, Hamas, a Beginner's Guide by Khalid Haroub.
I mean, at first I thought, is this a parody title?
Hamas: A Beginner's Guide00:05:02
But it isn't.
And you reached out to the library and you said, what's going on?
A beginner's guide for a recognized terrorist group.
And how did those conversations go, Brian?
Okay, well, to be fair, I have no problem with academics studying the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas and their inception.
And those books are at the library.
Exactly.
And I have no problem with people recording the history of Hamas and looking at it objectively or critically, recognizing that they're a terrorist organization under Canadian law and policy.
But my objection with this book was that it resembled Holocaust denialism in the sense that they said that the October 7th massacre at Nova Music Festival and the kibbutz were all done by the IDF due to this Hannibal strategy.
And that grotesque Holocaust denialism, October 7th denialism, is beyond an academic discussion.
It's misinformation and dangerous misinformation that leads to anti-Semitism and things like the terrible thing that happened at Jom Kippur today.
To my Jewish friends, I say, let us pray, let us repent, let us pray for renewal.
That's a bit over the line of an academic discussion, and the book clearly crosses that line.
And by the way, the same thing, same thing, if the Air India bombing, if somebody wrote a book saying the Air India bombing was really done by Hindus, it was done by the Hindus, right?
For Hindu nationalism.
Or similar to the Nationalist.
As opposed to the Khalistani separatists.
Correct.
Yeah.
Correct.
And on that matter, we've had two public inquiries saying that's not true.
And of course, the Khalistanis want a third public inquiry, but I know where you're going.
And that's the key to the issue, isn't it?
It isn't the author saying there are some people who say this.
Correct.
You know, it's this is the way it is.
Correct, correct.
And why are they the, so I wrote to the library, the Toronto Library, and said, I said, get that the fuck out of circulation.
Yeah.
ASAP.
And they wrote me back and said, well, we got your request.
It's going to go to a board of librarians.
I've got a letter.
What date is that?
Yeah, this letter, it's September 23rd of this year.
And it goes on and on.
But I think the key paragraph, Bryant, is this, quote, the third edition, the third edition of Hamas, a beginner's guide, aims to provide an introduction to Hamas, covering its history, ideology, and its political and military strategy.
The author, Khalid Harub, is a Palestinian academic and professor of Middle Eastern studies at Northwestern University in Qatar.
Pluto Press has been an independent publisher since 1969 and has worked with authors such as Karl Marx and Bell Hooks.
End quote.
Yeah, even if all that is accurate, Bryant, I would say, but that's, how is that germane to the issue that you have a book glorifying the massacre and blaming the massacre on the wrong entity, namely the IDF?
Right.
Similar to blaming Hindus for the Air India bombing.
But irrespective of that, my main concern is that this Toronto Library response in this letter to getting this book, again, sorry for the profanity, you can beep it out of circulation.
Is the problem that they have is they are concerned that Pluto Publishing, a very well-respected left-wing publisher, that would question their screening and their publishing efforts and their catalog.
What type of crap do they let in the gate?
And so the library is, I think, worried about offending a publisher.
Worried, and that's why.
And should this proceed, and I will appeal this decision for them because they refuse to take it off the shelves.
I'm going to appeal it.
It could go to judicial review.
It could go to the courts.
But I'll hold their hands to the fire.
And you know who's going to suffer in the end?
Pluto Press.
That's who's going to suffer because it's showing that they'll print any rubbish.
And, you know, it's almost cosmically, perversely amusing that they wave the name of Karl Marx around as a badge of honor.
Unbelievable.
Let's get to the third and final issue.
Trigger Warning: Zionist00:06:03
It's an immigration consultant who is acting, I believe, you told me off air, Bryant, in an anti-Semitic fashion and yet seems to be getting away with it.
What's the story there?
Yeah, so basically, there's a situation where there is an immigration consultant who is part of the Indigo 11.
And this guy's name is McDonald Scott.
And by the way, just for those who don't know, Bryant, this was the Indigo bookstore at the corner of Blue Rhine Bay in downtown Toronto.
It was vandalized and paint-bombed.
And really, let's cut to the chase.
The reason is the CEO of Indigo is Heather Reisman, who is Jewish.
And therefore, they think that's what gives them carte blanche to attack a bookstore, correct?
Correct.
And I always use the analogy that if you vandalized an abortion clinic, surely you would know that that's going to cause fear in women, terrible fear in women, long-standing fear in women.
And irrespective, if your goal is not misogyny, is not to hurt women, but to protect unborn children, you know ahead of time that by vandalizing an abortion clinic, you're going to cause fear to women as an unintended or intended consequence.
This McDonald Scott vandalized this Jewish store, knowing the harm it would cause the Jewish community.
This guy's a sicko, a real sicko in my books, knowing if imagine if he did that to a Hindu store or an abortion clinic or to a LGBT store, frontline.
Oh, the left would cancel colours on a heartbreak.
But this guy says, so if a few Jews are upset, and it's not a few Jews, the majority of Jewish people are Zionists.
And if I could do for one second, I have a short break that I want to introduce.
This is my alarm because did I say Zionist?
Most Jews are Zionists.
So I just want to press my alarm for a second.
Oh, is that literally a trigger warning?
Well, it's a trigger warning because I said the word Zionist.
But very quickly, Brian, this immigration consultant, he was found guilty.
Is that correct?
He pled guilty to a criminal charge.
And the judge was clear that this was on the upper level.
Again, the upper level of blameworthiness.
That there were letters from Jewish organizations like the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
And they said this caused a huge amount of harm to the Jewish community.
So these were victim impact statements.
There was a community victim impact statement.
The college, when I complained against him, I wanted him disciplined, suspended, terminated.
They said, no, we'll just give him a warning.
So I said to the college, I said, that's not appropriate.
And so I'm taking them to federal court right now, saying that the decision of the college never looked at the harm that this caused to the Jewish community.
Even though there were community impact statements from the Jewish community, the decision is void of any discussion about the harm to the Jewish community, but makes a finding that there was no anti-Semitism.
Again, the abortion clinic example.
I would say, Bryant, what we're dealing with here is a double standard.
I don't have proof, but I can tell you, if that indigo was an Islamic bookstore, if it was an LGBT, et cetera, et cetera.
If it was a Hindu bookstore.
Yeah, I think this guy, I think his governing body takes this way more seriously.
They likely sanction him.
They likely forbid him for acting as a consultant, but you told me he's back at work already.
Well, no one's done anything.
This is the sick part of it: this guy is a sick criminal.
He'll always be a criminal.
He got a conditional discharge, but he pled guilty.
The guilty pleading is registered with the court.
He's a sick criminal in my life.
What was his sentence, by the way?
His sentence was community service and other things and other conditions, but works at a law firm called Car Carzana L L P, C A R R A N Z A.
And I think, and they, the Carzana law firm, they sent in lots of recommendation letters to the criminal court saying, this guy's a great guy.
Listen, this law firm is a personal injury law firm.
I think that not only is this Sicko McDonald Scott sick, but I think this law firm is sick.
I'm a lawyer and I'm calling another group of lawyers, the law firm, sick?
Yeah, I think they're sick because they've let this guy who has shown animus to a certain group in their offices, in their personal injury office, and there's files that contain very sensitive information.
What happens if there's a Jewish client or a Zionist client?
Now, tell me what's going to happen.
Is the Law Society of Ontario going to do it?
I wrote to the Law Society.
I wrote to the college.
I said, there's a SICO in a law firm in Ontario.
What did the Law Society do?
They wrote back to me and said, law firms can hire sickos, no problem.
Law firms can hire sickos, no problem.
And then I said, well, do they have to give a warning to prospective clients?
If I'm a Jew, I want to know that there's a sicko that has animus towards me before I go to that law firm.
Do they have to give a warning?
Guess what the law society said?
You don't have to give a warning.
If Jews get caught up in this sicko's law firm, buy or beware.
I don't know.
Incredible.
Brian, we're running out of race.
Try.
I want to give you one last question.
Anti-Semitism Exploding00:03:53
Going back to October 7th, 2023, as I said in the preamble, there has been anti-Semitism exploding.
So much so, you would think if you were a visitor from another planet and you heard about the massacre of October 7th, it's almost as though it was the Israelis massacring Palestinians, not the other way around.
I want to get your theory as to why the greatest massacre of Jews post-Holocaust has ignited this wave of anti-Semitism, Jew hate, Israel hate.
Why do you think that is happening when you'd think right-minded people the world over would be condemning the terrorists, not seeing their point of view, so to speak?
Yeah, well, I think it's a complicated situation after October 7th, but everyone would do well to read this book.
It's Aftershock: Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism by David Mattis, a well-respected academic, human rights advocate, respected left-right center.
And this guy explains how anti-Zionism turns into anti-Semitism.
But what has really happened is the same way with the Nazis in Germany, it's the intelligentsia, it's the university professors, it's the law societies that condone or look away or encourage this dog whispers that if you love Israel, which I love Israel, I love Israel despite the difficulties, and I pray for every Gazan child.
But I also see that Israel is being singled out in ways that no other nation would be singled out.
And it all ties back to Holocaust denialism.
It all ties back to anti-Semitism and the fact that people who are so quick to judge Israel are basically saying, in not so many words, the Jews never deserved a place of refuge.
The Jews should have just packed up their bags when they took the boats to Canada and Canada said off.
When they took their boats to America and America said off, they should have gone back to Germany, back to where the concentration camps were and settled there.
Well, I'll tell you one thing: the Jewish nation is not going to settle in Germany after the Holocaust.
The Jewish nation settled in their birthright, in their place where my son was bar mitzvah, in their place where I pray to Jerusalem daily.
You know, as we wouldn't put, expect Muslims to expect Mecca to be moved to Uganda.
We wouldn't expect Mecca to be moved to Madagascar.
We have to respect that the Jews have a place in Jerusalem.
No, you're absolutely right.
When you look at what is the narrative on the academic world right now, what the kids on campus are being told, they're putting Israel through the colonizer lens, much like Europeans coming to North America, you know, the Jews were colonists when in fact, I'm sorry, Jews in Israel, those are the indigenous, if you will.
So the world is upside down.
Brent, I want to thank you so much.
I'm going to look into this book after shock.
I have a feeling I'm going to have to buy this online, folks.
I have a feeling if I go to the Toronto Public Library, well, knock me down with a feather.
