Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Make no mistake these are as much anti white and they are anti Semitic demonstration’s. As religion of peace UnMes like to say “first we come for Saturday people, then we come for Sunday people”.
Yup!
Canada is a country run by filthy dirty commie coward free speech hating cocksuckers who absolutely love Muslim boy-raping pedophiles and despise rank and file Canadians.
Up Vote!
JQC, you gotta get down off that fence & form an opinion…
Yup. JQC needs to stop prevaricating and tell us what it is. Heh!
Of course they arrested him. To keep the freaks from killing him which would be bad press for the cops, and because #ChowChowChow can’t be seen having violent #Mooselimbs arrested for breaking the law. Which they are.
Look at it this way. If there’s mass disruption in the streets, #ChowChowChow gets a -ton- of federal money and all the power she wants to crack down on it. Obviously she’s going to let the freaks burn cars and arrest anyone who complains.
Who else is very quiet about this? #Dougie. You see him vowing to stop this? No, not really. I see some very unconvincing bluster and zero actual movement.
In #ShinyPony’s Canada, the law is for #ShinyPony. Not for you.
Dougie, “I hear you (now go away).”
She’ll get lots of Federal money, but spend it on such progressive things as sidewalks, and naming city streets after slavers.
No CBC reporters were arrested because no CBC reporters were there.
Unbelievable.
Why do uniformed Toronto Police officers have their faces covered? Are their names and badge numbers covered as well?
Not only faces covered but all having beards. Who are these guys and what are their beliefs, their country of origin, their sympathies. Robert Peel is rolling in his grave and those senior coppers are unfit for purpose.
No Beard, but I swear the front cop in high vis is a clone. He was in an American cop video this morning.
White,pasty,overweight and with high vis and a black wool beanie showing his authoritah.
Convince me he Is not actually a clone:)
Yes, the police are all cowards … because they will boldly arrest the ONE peaceful counter-protester … but refuse to control the MANY violent protestors. Why? Because they don’t want to exert themselves, or put their FAT government pensions in jeopardy.
Cowards. The police are cowards.
Coward-bullies.
FIFY
I know I’m going to get blowback for this…
But I have to ask the question:
Is Ezra a journalist, or an activist, or both?
As a law-abiding citizen, if a police officer asked me to stand over there instead of over here, I wouldn’t challenge that authority like Ezra did in that video. I would comply, go over and stand over there! It really isn’t an unreasonable demand. His fellow protesters didn’t mind standing over there, why couldn’t he?
Then, if the situation warranted, like for example, if I was a journalist, and the police prevented me from reporting the news, I’d file a report, and possibly sue the officer for… I dunno… breach of trust, or something. I’d have to talk to a lawyer first, obviously, to see if I had a case.
I respect Ezra’s integrity, and I am sympathetic to his cause, but again… I have to ask the question: Is Ezra a journalist or an activist? It’s looking increasingly like he is becoming the latter, because to me anyway, it looked like
Ezra is deliberately putting himself in a position where he would likely get arrested. Why would anyone want to do that? The answer: To draw attention to himself, like any activist would.
He is also trying to get at least one of the terrorists to explain what they’re about.

Besides supporting pedophile you are an ignorant A$$hole, the cops were over stepping their “authority”
Wether Ezra is a urnolist or activist makes no difference, he can stand were he wants.
A guy makes a point, and you froth at the mouth.
He’s still right.
Is he right about me being ignorant, being an “A$$hole” or is he right about me supporting pedophiles?
He’s not right about any of that.
Finally, the question of whether the cops were cowards or whether they abused their authority is up for discussion, depending on your POV.
I’m not taking a stand either way, because I don’t know what happened prior to the start of the video clip.
GYM and I have a special relationship. I’m getting used to GYM’s 5-year-old mentality, and sometimes it amuses me, because every time he opens his mouth, he proves everything that I’ve ever said about him.
You can see it every time he accuses me of “supporting pedophiles” just because I’m Roman Catholic.
Are you listening, Kate? Here’s yet another example of GYM’s slander.
You know that Ezra is a “joo” don’t you?
Sort of puts everything you’ve been saying up to this point in perspective.
Oh… and “ignorant” wouldn’t be the word I would used to describe an observation.
Ignorant would be the word I would use to describe your reaction to my observation.
Oh look Enema69 found a cop he does not want to instantly fellate, what a day!
If standing “over there” means you cannot even SEE or RECORD the violent, hateful, conduct of these “Palestine” “protestors” … then that is suppression of a FREE PRESS. And yes, citizen journalists are journalists too. Why is the Canadian government limiting access to this hate filled Palestinian shit show as if they were Joe Biden.
“As a law-abiding citizen, if a police officer asked me to stand over there instead of over here, I wouldn’t challenge that authority like Ezra did in that video.”
I’m going to speculate that the police, knowing the violent tendencies of the pro-Hamas crowd, ordered people to stand in a spot where they can’t easily be attacked. This is of course the exact wrong thing to do. The correct thing to do (and the legal, Constitutional thing to do) is to allow them to stand wherever they want, and if someone should actually attack them then you ARREST the ATTACKERS. That is how it is supposed to work….if the police weren’t too cowardly to do their actual jobs.
Perfectly valid points, worthy of consideration. It’s just that I’m not the “disturb the apple cart” kind of a guy. That’s just my take on things. I grew up respecting law and order, and especially the police. It’s very difficult for me to take a stand opposing police actions, but there are times where even I have recognized that the cops went too far, like for example, how they dealt with the freedom convoy. I still get sick thinking about February 18, 2022. It’s the number one reason why I left Ottawa.
Very reasonable fc. I agree. We should be able to respect our police … so long as they act respectfully. But … but … I recall recently seeing a face-off between “Palestinian” protesters and pro Israeli Jews in New York. The New York police simply put the Palestinians on one side of the street, and the Jews on the other. Both could see, hear, and record each others actions. THAT seemed reasonable.
But that’s NOT what your fascistic police were doing to Ezra. They were putting him completely out of sight of the “Palestinian” Mob. Not cool. Not Constitutional. Apparently targeted.
“Not a disturb the apple cart kind of a guy”. Tells us all we need to know about you. You are missing the point. As Ezra stated, if this was a black neighbourhood and the rabble were KKK supporters would the Police conduct themselves in the same way. Obviously politically inspired directives are at work.
“Is Ezra a journalist, or an activist, or both?”
So let’s say it’s both. Why should he be treated differently than all the other “boths” from CBC, CTV, TVO, CNN, etc. etc.?
Would Trawna’s finest have done the same to Arsenault or Sachedina?
Again, very reasonable rebuttal. Cops would earn more trust and respect if they applied the law evenly and fairly to everyone.
The problem is that we don’t know what Ezra was doing before the clip started, and attracted the attention of Toronto’s “finest” (note the use of scare quotes) in the first place.
“The problem is that we don’t know what Ezra was doing before the clip started, and attracted the attention of Toronto’s “finest” (note the use of scare quotes) in the first place.”
I would say asking the ‘protesters’ questions like “From what river to what sea?” or “Where does Gaza get their water and electricity from?” or “How long have the Jews been living there?”…questions like that. Questions that embarrass them. He’s pretty good at that.
fc,
I was thinking along the same lines. Ultimately, I think the police were probably correct to separate protesters into different camps. But not sure. Ezra wasnt a protestor, he is a journalist, and he was likely just asking questions to the tards of the left. Provocative questions yes, and at some point, the police were gonna ask him to leave. And .. he probably should have at that point.
But this misses the real issue. It is one standard for the right, and a different standard for the left. Riots in Montreal. “De&th to Canada” in Vancouver … the left gets away with anything. Freedom Convoy, and the War Measures Act 2.0 is enacted.
The police and govt use different standards for left and right wing, and Ezra is a master at pointing out how intolerant the left is. The police actually played right into Ezra’s hand. So yes, Ezra is both, and much more.
It’s the double-standard of they way they’re applying the law that yanks my chain, and I have to ask who is giving the police these policy directives? The cops are simply doing their duty. Someone else is giving the orders.
I’m sure at some point, the cops are going to say “no more,” but obviously, they haven’t gotten to that point yet.
“I was just following orders…” was supposed to end as a defence around 1945… and yet it’s back again in 2024.
That’s the reality. Put yourself in the cops’ position, and you have to decide whether or not you’re going to disobey your superior’s orders. You have to pick the hill you want to die on.
If my superior ordered me to shoot unarmed civilians, I’d hand over my badge and my gun right there and then.
But if my superior ordered me to keep the two protesting groups separated, why would I jeopardize my career by disobeying that directive?
FC,
If my “superior” ordered me to separate 2 groups, why would I risk my career instead of loading up one group on the train? I guess you’re in touch with that “directive”
Do you also follow your Pope’s every directive?
I do not, and I’ve gone on record saying that, many times. So I really don’t understand your point. I just said that you cannot follow an unjust and illegal order, but if you can’t follow a legally issued directive, then you shouldn’t be a cop.
the way they’re applying the law
When I was younger, I thought we had good laws. and the cops did their job. And that is mostly true.
Now I see how prosecutors, politicians, can use the law selectively to punish their enemies. The Emergencies Act by the Dauphin being the greatest example.
People the world over need to watch their politicians and public servants more closely.
@fc: Who cares? Just like Ezra himself said in this video:
https://youtu.be/CUAQGqoQSrY?si=6QNXp6DqnwZ-_poz
As I said, I admire Ezra’s chutzpah, but that video was taken while section 15 was still active, and well before C-11 and C-63, and I can’t help but think that sometimes Ezra pushes the envelope a little too far.
Hey… I’m not going to browbeat this. Ezra is fighting a war, and I’m on his side in that war. It’s just that sometimes I feel I have to question his tactics on how he engages that war, especially when confronting police officers who in their minds are simply trying to keep the peace. You can question how they are applying the law, as I will from time to time, but it looked to me like Ezra pushed too hard. Calling them cowards in public certainly didn’t de-escalate the situation. Cops are human too, and even though they’re trained to keep their cool, they’re still human, and being human, they will react if pushed too hard.
Fc, idiots that gangbanged you above are actually right about this one. It does not matter who Ezra is or what he does. Bottom line is that you can’t start removing people out of the way of a of the savage mob. It does not matter if someone’s presence aggravates the savages. Cop’s job is to protect those who wish to stand their ground. And when the mob throws a tantrum you pacify the mob in no undertrain terms. That is the difference between the rule of law and rule of thug. Cops being thugs themselves, find the later natural.
Technically a Journalist.
does the cop have the legal authority to tell you to go over there.
Note cops love telling people to do stuff, so if they don’t they arguably can say they are not obeying commands. Knowing it will take a court case to prove they don’t actually have the authority to actually say it.
Ezra is a Jew. That’s why he was arrested. He’s considered a provocateur and is a target of the protesters.
The riot isn’t about Gaza or Palestine it’s about hatred of Jews. They show up in a Jewish neighbourhood to protest? Maybe arrest some of the rioters.
The police shouldn’t have arrested him.
Who ordered it?
I thought my father help kill off all the fascists pigs. It is a bit of a surprise that Toronto Police have become Jew hating Nazis. The fascists my father dealt with were proud of what they did. The Toronto Police dressed in the similar black Hugo Boss SS like uniforms mask themselves because they are ashamed of what they do. I am not Jewish but these Jew haters are the lowest form of life and need to be handled.
Our fathers and grandfathers died in vain. Ignorance is the primary trait of white canadians today.
When a CN tower falls in the city …. will you feel a thing?
Liberal/NDP voter’s would blame far right honkys.
Let me guess..this is one of the three arrests the cops are bragging about?
Oh right,wrong city..
The Toronto City Police have long been on the wrong side.
Protecting the criminal element and assaulting the tax payers..
Longterm I doubt their policy is going to prosper..
“Respect my authority as I enable the murderous mob and take a knee with the race baiters..”
While charging all the overtime costs to “Keeping the peace” by arresting the observers..
Makes you wonder..How far are the Toronto Police going to drive,outside their city, to murder the next aging gunsmith?
And bring coffee when you come back.
Check out them cops. All Dudley Do rights, with masks and, or swarthy looks. Who are they? Were they the green clad guys? I support law and order, but….
Hey, I know that some of you Trumpers despise me for laughing at the Orange Man’s antics but I did send a donation to Ezra’s The Rebel a month ago. So, I shouldn’t be all bad in your eyes. It was only $100 but money talks. I am a man of action. (horn blowing). Go ahead, match me if you can.
I think I gave Ezra 50 bucks a few years ago when his loan got called. It was money well spent.
The TPS are just as bad as the hamassholes, if not worse.
Ezra has security, he was in no danger from that cowardly mob, and cops can’t tell people just doing their job “where to stand.”
If violence were to break out, the cops job is to arrest the aggressors, but the TPS would rather arrest the victims, as its easier.
I pry they don’t decide to Kotanko Ezra, I wouldn’t put it past those a$$holes.
When some gang-banger kills one of them, it’s cause for celebration.
Terrorists come out to terrorize Jews. Cops protect the terrorists. Arrest the one Jew who shows up to report it.
Bananada is real and here.
Did someone here think that commies weren’t gonna commie?
herro arry burry dere
So, he was arrested for “breach of the peace” there is no criminal charge for this….it’s essentially a procedure.
Arrest for breach of peace
31 (1) Every peace officer who witnesses a breach of the peace and every one who lawfully assists the peace officer is justified in arresting any person whom he finds committing the breach of the peace or who, on reasonable grounds, he believes is about to join in or renew the breach of the peace.
Ezra later says he was arrested for “causing a disturbance”. Those are 2 different things.
Was he later charged with cause disturbance?
Causing disturbance, indecent exhibition, loitering, etc.
175 (1) Every one who
(a) not being in a dwelling-house, causes a disturbance in or near a public place,
(i) by fighting, screaming, shouting, swearing, singing or using insulting or obscene language,
(ii) by being drunk, or
(iii) by impeding or molesting other persons,
(b) openly exposes or exhibits an indecent exhibition in a public place,
(c) loiters in a public place and in any way obstructs persons who are in that place, or
(d) disturbs the peace and quiet of the occupants of a dwelling-house by discharging firearms or by other disorderly conduct in a public place or who, not being an occupant of a dwelling-house comprised in a particular building or structure, disturbs the peace and quiet of the occupants of a dwelling-house comprised in the building or structure by discharging firearms or by other disorderly conduct in any part of a building or structure to which, at the time of such conduct, the occupants of two or more dwelling-houses comprised in the building or structure have access as of right or by invitation, express or implied,
is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
I think the swine looked up the law and discovered they could not sustain a charge. Note that a journalist, by doing their job, is not loitering. I don’t think the courts treat loitering in its various forms as passing constitutional muster.
A bloody near riot in the streets and the idiot moronic cops arrest the guy reporting it. NOW DO ANY OF YOU FINALLY SEE WHAT CANADA HAS BECOME?
That sergeant is a disgrace to the uniform and Canadian morality.
The law truly has become an ass.
If there are no reporters, there is no one ‘on the other side’ who can hold criminals to account. They can destroy with impunity.
