In Trudeau’s Canada, Ezra Levant arrested to protect pro-terrorist protesters
Sectarian mobs perpetuate violence, hatred, and destruction on the streets of our cities
Canada used to have a reputation as a peaceful, law-abiding country. At least, most of it did: while Quebec harboured a terrorist organization for a few years in the 1960’s and early 70’s, the rest of the place was a snooze-fest. Toronto the Good. Cowtown, aka Calgary. Victoria, home of the newly wed and nearly dead. Canada was boring, and that boring-ness was highly attractive to millions of immigrants fleeing the ravages of war-torn Europe, or communist Vietnam, or various other oppressive or poverty-stricken regimes.

Not anymore. Now, we have pro-Hamas rioters torching stores and attacking police in Montreal last Friday night. We have anti-Israel protesters blocking streets, vandalizing Jewish business, and terrorizing Jewish neighbourhoods in Toronto and Ottawa with impunity. We have pro-Khalistani mobs beating up Hindu worshippers outside their temple, and brawling in the streets of Brampton, Ont. two weeks ago. Our cities have become ground central for ethnic grievance. Scores of people now think it acceptable to appropriate public space for their personal use and attack fellow citizens and damage private property in the name of their “cause.”
Where are our leaders in this mess? Well, during the Friday riots in Montreal, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was partying at the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto. It’s fine to enjoy a night out with your kids, except that a national leader doesn’t get to Shake it Off: Trudeau should have left the event to deal with the crisis. Then on Sunday, at yet another pro-Hamas rally in Toronto, police arrested Ezra Levant, CEO of Rebel News who was on site filming the event. The demonstrators were allowed to continue breaking hate laws, while Levant was taken away “in the interests of public safety.”
