We complain about politics on this show. We complain about economics, about foreign affairs. But that’s because we have something very good here in Canada, and we want to keep it.
There is a reason that people come here from Pakistan and China and Syria, and no-one goes from here to Pakistan and China and Syria.
It’s not because of our weather, and it’s not because we’re a huge country —90% of our population lives within a hundred miles of the U.S.
People come here because of our rule of law, peace order and good government; ordered liberty; democracy in the British tradition; freedom of speech, religion, association. Equality of men and women. Meritocracy. Non-violent solutions to problems.
It bothers me that the new government is trying to redefine everything about Canada.
In the past, Liberals simply had an entitlement mentality and a fill their pockets mentality. Now they have a messianic motive to replace the state and its history with their own identity and ideology.
Canada is a great country.
It doesn’t need to be reformed, undone, repudiated, silenced.
TheRebel.media’s Resident Historian, John Robson, joins me tonight to talk about what’s wrong with Justin Trudeau’s vision of Canada, which he calls “incoherent” and “scatterbrained.”
Donald Trump is vowing to undo globalization, but is that even possible? I’m joined by Ben Shapiro, Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Wire, to talk about Trump’s promises.
Shapiro calls Trump’s latest speech “garbage” and the candidate’s economic policies — such as protectionism — discredited.
I’m a “Trumpaloompa” but it’s always valuable to hear the other side from Ben!
Remember how dirty and unpleasant Pittsburgh looked in the DEER HUNTER? Huh?
That’s his frame of reference. Very thoughtful.
Ezra – You at least make somewhat of an effort to understand the plight of the working class – you know – the folks that actually MAKE STUFF and create REAL wealth. Yeah, the dwindling material wealth that the country dines out on to this day.
Shapiro’s just another downtown elite that can’t pound in the coffin nails of the WORKING class fast enough.
Trump is making a semantic error that he needs to correct. It’s the working class that is in dire straits … not so much the middle.
It is pretty depressing when you must advise your kids to get a gov’t job—- doesn’t matter what it is——
‘You will be set for life’—— Good times.
If you’re a poor white, you can not afford to go out and buy a car to drive for uber. You obviously do not know how the taxi license system works. You can’t just go get one. You’re denial that there are tons of people who will never be able to attend post secondary institutions for a variety of reason. they aren’t all cut out for academics.
Your belief that I’m speaking for myself is crazy. I’m fine and well taken care of in this life. You however are obtuse. I sincerely hope you don’t pee your pants a little in delight at the thought of the increased suicides among ex oil workers in Alberta.
Taxi drivers are contractors. Buy an appropriate vehicle, buy a license, and join a brokerage. There are no barriers to entry, the lack of white people is due only to the fact that white people don’t actually want those jobs (neither do most immigrants, but it’s what’s available). Security guards have crazy turnover and are always hiring. You could get a walk in interview tomorrow. Again, lack of white people is because they don’t apply.
" There are NO low skill jobs for white people."
Don’t be low skill then. This situation is not going to improve in the future as automation is going to displace these jobs in increasing numbers. Get a useful degree, get a trade, do something. If you’re Canadian educated and fluent in English, then you are far more employable for any sort of aspirational job than someone with dubious credentials that can’t speak the language, has no Canadian experience, and no on-shore references This is well documented, submit the same resume with a “white” name and with a “foreign name” and guess who gets called back four times more often? In the interim, take on temp work. Again, as a Canadian you’re immediately shortlisted since they know you’ll be able to speak English reasonably well and probably recognize the school you went to.
My heart bleeds, but at the end of the day your life is your own responsibility. Get off your freaking ass, take responsibility for yourself, and go get a freaking job. I don’t care if it’s at Wal Mart (which is another revolving door employer that will hire anybody with a pulse). Stop whining about how it’s everybody else’s fault. If you don’t have a job the problem lies on YOU.;
You don’t think you’re going to get a job driving a taxi do you? Maybe there’s a company left in Canada that will hire whites. I doubt it. I know in the Vancouver area, all the janitorial firms were bought up by immigrants years ago, and they only hire people like themselves. Same with security guard jobs. Millwork in BC. Coupled with the “hire only minorities” mindset and you’ve got problems. There are NO low skill jobs for white people. That’s racism. coupled with the anti racism lectures aimed only at whites and the country starts to look like an anger camp for the future. YOu need to be specially trained for a specific job if you’re not a minority. It’s that one job or dumpster diving for white people, unless you’ve got the cash to start a business. Immigrants only hire people like themselves for low skill jobs. Nobody tells immigrants not to be racist. Immigrants definitely are racist and that’s supposed to be ok.
That you’re getting interviews in Alberta, where the market is famously tight, tells us it’s something else at play. If it were a quota issue you wouldn’t be getting responses. I wonder if you merely got used to the unusual labour market conditions that prevailed there during the oil boom. Applying for jobs and not getting much back is pretty normal, and two months would definitely be towards the short end of the scale on time unemployed. It is unfortunate, also, that Canadian employers prefer cheap to experienced. What they’re telling you sounds more overqualified than racial "quota"’ in a tight job market that’s a major impediment.
ps I’m an early Millenial who has never held anything other than contract jobs. Shall I tell you how many hundreds of jobs I’ve applied to over the last twelve years? Do I blame “racism” for that? No, of course not, The job market has sucked for a decade. I’m lucky I got my foot in the door before it totally fell apart, but others were not.

People identify acts as Political Correctness wen actually it is racism. The Left Wing so called democratic parties are saturated with racists. The Klu Klux clan was founded by the Democrats. And to this day,is made up of Democrats. The sad part is the so called Democrats( NDP) of today do not even realize they belong to a party that clearly identifies with racism.
I have a clean criminal record I have no speeding tickets, I don’t drink or do drugs. I am clean shaven almost all of the time and I shower everyday as well. I have post secondary education and a great deal of work experience.
But because I am white they said I didn’t make the quota.
Perhaps the “kids” should stop holding out for management positions. There’s plenty of opportunity for ablebodied white males out there. You just have to work for it instead of sitting back whining that the Immigrants are taking jobs that you probably didn’t want anyway.
The word al-Taqiyya literally means: Concealing or disguising one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies. al-Taqiyya is an act of pure hypocrisy that serves to conceal the truth and reveal that which is the exact opposite (of the truth).
Jay Kelly. How is the open door immigration policy working in Europe and the USA?
Jay Kelly. Why doesn’t Saudi Arabia accept refugees from Syria?
Jay Kelly. Why is it wrong to resist muslim immigration when their religion of Islam dictates that they should kill all infidels, even those that welcome them into their country?
Jay Kelly. You portray yourself as a bit of an expert in this area. Let’s hear some legitimate answers to my three questions.
A racist, at his core, defends his own race and somehow thinks that by defending his own race above another makes it right.
Some Rebel readers fall into this category.
At the same time we hear Ezra Levant and the Prime Minister defending us as non-racist and tolerant. They say we are accepting of others regardless of ethnic origin or religion or skin colour, and so on. Because each of us is accepted into Canadian society we are respectful of our brothers and sisters.
Would it not be easier to hate the other, and blame the other for our troubles, and blame it on race?
I doubt that.
Why not listen to Ezra Levant and his tribute to Canada? Only then, if you are still convinced, and if you cannot overcome your bias and prejudice, then you can reject your own country.
Hmm, not much to celebrate, a?
“People come here because of our rule of law, peace order and good government; ordered liberty; democracy in the British tradition; freedom of speech, religion, association. Equality of men and women. Meritocracy. Non-violent solutions to problems.”
I am struck by the phrase: “people come here because…” and what follows. My grandparents did exactly that. They came here for those exact reasons.
My grandparents had a tough time of it, because of their background and all that.
Even today the new arrivals have a hard time of it. They are faced with bigotry and racism and discrimination of all sorts.
Thank you, Ezra Levant, for this tribute to our country and our nation.
You provide a forum for alternate opinion while supporting our basic make up as a nation.
“Evelyn, no war no treason, no conscious intent no treason. Seems hard to believe” Thanks for that. Yes, that is hard to accept and rather depressing. This sure points to the need for TheRebel to have some more effective means to increase its impact on Canadian Society. Unfortunately this is not very likely with our current societal leadership including the press, many professors and other educators, local and national elected politicians, many police organizations and the complaisant public — all looking away, assuming that someone else will come and make it all better.
We need to be more patriotic, and proud of what the country was built on. We need to fly our flag. We need to teach our kid’s their history. Demand it be an important part of the curriculum. They need to understand why their grand and great grandfathers went to war to defend their country and the freedoms they now take for granted and enjoy. They need to know how economics work so that when they go to vote, not only will they want to protect their freedoms but will be able to connect the dots when socialists try to convince them that money grows on trees. Strong traditions, strong families, make a healthier society, not a nanny state who’s only aim is to make you compliant.
He is collaborating with the “Never Trump” gang of Republican bandits, that are willing to sabotage democracy and rig elections just so Trump doesn’t win. No more Shapiro on The Rebel please. He can use the MSM stage where he belongs.
We have the Dopiest Leader on the Planet, son of a marxist loon !
Ben . . . engage friggin brain !
You are a short version of Romney . . . 4.6% is a “Made UP” number !
Your argument is nuts and you are makin stuff up ! ! !
So sad that current government and even Stephen Harper have decided that it best to flood Canada with Muslims
It’s all down hill now
