Ezra Levant's Arrest and His Warning to American Conservatives

Showing 5 Ezra Levant videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Ezra Levant, founder of Rebel News, described being handcuffed and detained by Toronto police for photographing a pro-Hamas demonstration staged in his own Jewish neighborhood, an encounter he says police justified by claiming his mere presence was itself causing a disturbance despite him standing on a public sidewalk without engaging the demonstrators. Levant used the arrest, one of six Rebel News journalists faced in Canada that year by his count, to warn Charlie Kirk's American audience that eroding constitutional protections in Canada and the United Kingdom represent a preview of what happens when free speech and property rights aren't actively defended. Levant and Kirk separately analyzed Canada's 2025 election loss for the Conservative Party under Pierre Poilievre despite genuine momentum, attributing older voters' anti-Trump sentiment and reported Chinese election interference as key factors, while noting Poilievre's stronger-than-expected showing as a sign of underlying conservative growth. The two also discussed Justin Trudeau's resignation as part of a broader rejection of what Kirk called open-border liberalism across Western democracies, exploring the potential for renewed US-Canada cooperation on energy and border policy under more aligned leadership.
