Hello my friends, I'm interested in anti Christian discrimination. I always have been going back for more than a decade. As you know, we cover the anti Christian crime wave in this country, such as churches on fire. But there was an anti Christian information operation over the weekend involving the priest in charge of the Old City of Jerusalem church called the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. I want to talk to you about what happened there and how it was weaponized into a propaganda moment. I'd like to show you some images from that. So please get the video version of this podcast.

Tonight, let me show you an information operation conducted this weekend against Christians. It's March 30th and this is the Ezra Levant Show. Shame on you, you sensori. Oh, hi everybody. I hope you had a great weekend. Our interview with the US Ambassador, we put different excerpts of it online and it was hugely popular. Almost a million views over the weekend. Very exciting and I hope you enjoyed it. You got to see it days earlier than anyone else if you're a Rebel News subscriber. Anyways, I want to talk today about something that's important to Rebel News. Has been since we were born 11 years ago. And for those of you who remember the print version of Western Standard, when I was the publisher of that magazine, it was important to us back then, which is Christians. I mean, at Rebel News we cover the Christian beat. I think more than any other media outlet that is not explicitly Christian. Even just a week ago, you might recall, I went to New Brunswick because I heard that a church there had been torched and I went to see with my own eyes. I've done that several times. We have very Christian members of our team. We're not explicitly Christian, but Dre Humphrey, Sheila Gunrid and others in their own way cover the beat. You might recall that we during the COVID times defended many pastors and churches. In fact, client number one of our fight The Fonts project was Pastor Arthur Pavlovsky in Calgary. Client number two was Pastor Derek Reimer, and so on and so on. We actually defended churches too, including some very prominent cases. We've done this since we founded Rebel News. You might recall, oh, I'm guessing it's about nine years ago now, that we raised $200,000 US to help Iraqi Christians. And in the end the way we helped them was helped to sponsor them to leave Iraq where they were under threat of ISIS to get them to Australia, which was the country that would accept them. You might recall that Justin Trudeau at the time had shut down the private refugee sponsorship avenue. So we've always been interested in standing up to anti Christian bigotry. Now the last two and a half years, Jews have had a pretty tough go, frankly, especially given their relatively smaller numbers. Only about 1% of Canada's population is Jewish. They are the target of the majority of hate crimes globally. Jews are a tiny number. There was 1200 Jews that were murdered on October 7th of 2023. That would be like 5000 people murdered in Canada in one day proportionately. But in absolute numbers. Christians are the most persecuted group in the world just because there's many more Christians and Jews in many more places. And one of the places where Christians are the most bullied isn't even the right word because they're murdered. There is, I'm talking about Nigeria, one of the. It's a country that's almost 50, 50 Christian and Muslim. And that's where Boko Haram, the terrorist group operates. They not don't just murder Christians, they often kidnap them, especially the girls, and force them to convert to Islam. They're are other Christian persecution communities in Arabia and in China. It's a different kind of persecution, isn't it? I sometimes think about history too. I think of the stories of the fall of Constantinople and the rape slavery that followed that. I mean Islam is expansionist by nature. It started in Arabia, conquered all of Arabia, North Africa, up into Europe. I mean Spain was conquered for many years until it was reconquered. The Ottoman Turks were at the gates of Vienna. You know, it was very close run thing. If it weren't for the unification of different Christian forces, I think Vienna would have fallen to the Turk like Constantinople did. I think it's a larger part of the story of the west, the history of the west, including. You might recall the video I recorded about a month ago in Ireland about the entire community of Baltimore Ireland being kidnapped and sold as slaves in Algiers. Obviously they were all Christian and they were kidnapped. Some of them did convert to Islam for a less punitive life, but they were slaves nonetheless. This is all part of a 1400 year old battle which included, by the way, the Crusades, when Europeans had had enough of this and went to liberate the holy sites in the Holy Land. So I was upset when I saw a story out of Israel that the Israeli government, in particular Israeli police, refused to let a Christian Catholic cardinal named Pierre Batista Pizzabala, that's his name, he's the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, that's his title. These police did not let him visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which is a special church. It's the name of the church. It was built on the site in Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified and also where he was buried and resurrected. Now I've been to that church. It's amazing. It is a very important church that Christian pilgrims go to see when they go to Israel. They go to the Jordan river and there's other sites, sites in Tiberius, for example, the Sea of Galilee as it's also called. But this church in, in Jerusalem is very important. And I know that it is a free access, like it's just part of the old city. Anyone can just walk right up to. I have myself, I've gone into it several times. So the idea that Israeli police would stop anyone, let alone a priest, let alone the boss priest from visiting it was awful. I mean, obviously not as awful as a Muslim terrorist attack on Christians during the Easter season, which is literally what happened yesterday. Dozens of Christians massacred in Nigeria. That's the most important, most dangerous place in the world to be Christian. By the way, there wasn't a lot of coverage of that massacre for some reason. But Israeli police telling a Catholic priest he couldn't visit his church was huge news. Of course it was, because that's crazy, because everyone expects anti Christian violence from Al Shabaab, the Muslim terrorist group in Nigeria, but from Israel, from Jews. But that's how I knew something was off, because I have been there, I have seen it and it is a harmonious city, the Old city of Jerusalem. I knew something was up, but I was overwhelmed by a tidal wave on Twitter, at least of social media posts of how the Jewish state was mistreating Christians and especially Christian holy sites. It was weaponized in a way to make it look like anti discrimination. And especially now with the war in the Middle East. America's ally in the Middle east that was acting very UN ally, like wasn't it except for one detail, and in news, we call those facts. All religious sites in the Old City of Jerusalem were under a kind of lockdown. Because Iran has been firing missiles at Jerusalem for weeks and mass gatherings, it's impossible to quickly get everyone into a bomb shelter, the holiest site for Jews, which is not far away. It's called the Western Wall. It was completely shut down. I confirmed this yesterday with my own eyes. I went to the live cam of the place completely empty, and here's why. This is part of an Iranian missile fired at the Old City on purpose by Iran. It was shot down by an Israeli defensive missile. But even the broken parts of this, and they're big missiles, the broken part of it landed terribly. It could have killed people. Here's video of one such attack. So, yeah, the whole place is under a kind of lockdown. But the news was that Jewish persecution of Christians was happening. And in the holy season, in the holy place, everyone went nuts. I mean nuts. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of Twitter accounts seemed to harmonize all at once. Hundreds of thousands of tweets. And of course that made politicians want to jump in front of the parade and lead the march. And it's very fun and easy to take a shot at Israel these days. Like our own Mark Carney. He didn't put out a statement when Iran fired missiles at the Old City. Of course not. That would upset his voter base. But he did put out a statement yesterday when the priest was delayed. Now he waited till the whole situation was resolved. So it was fine and the priest was allowed in. I'll get to that in a moment. But that didn't start Mark Carney from taking a poke at the Jews. He said, I am disappointed with the decision by the Israeli police to prevent the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Christian communities of the Holy Land from marking Palm Sunday at the Holy Sepulcher. These actions further violate the long standing status quo of Jerusalem's holy sites. People of every faith in Jerusalem should be able to worship freely, fully and without fear. I am pleased that President Herzog has contacted the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, his Beatitude Cardinal Pier Battista Pizzabala, to reaffirm this. Now, like I say, by the time Carney made his statement, as you can sort of tell in it, the problem had been resolved. Like we were talking in hours. And in fact, earlier than that, no one less than the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, personally intervened hours earlier to permit the priest to go, even though it was at his own risk. So you had the Prime Minister and Then the president calling this priest, I mean, I'm not saying this priest himself whipped up the scandal out of nowhere, but he sure is fond of wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh. But the temporary delay in getting him to his church created a massive international hit incident. A scandal magnified by literally more than 100,000 social media bots. The reality was much different. Here he is thanking the police who let him through and they're going to have a scale down series of ceremonies there. Not the full crowds, just like there's not full crowds at the Jewish Western Wall. By the way, the Latin patriarch wrote a nice note about it afterwards. But wow, was it ever weaponized? Why? Well, the same reason anti Semitism is being weaponized in so many ways. And there's a campaign now to drive a wedge between Christians and Jews to demoralize the west, to delink the west from Israel, the sole democracy in the Middle east, to undermine our ability to stand up to military and terroristic enemies, especially from Islam. There's definitely an information operation, an infowar to try to destroy Christian Zionism. Here's Tucker Carlson who owns a home in the terrorist dictatorship of Qatar now making the point that he hates Christians who love Jews here. Why don't you listen to him say it in his own words?
Pro-Israel Protester
How do you explain Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz and they're a lot like that John Bolton, I mean I've known them all. George W. Bush, like the Karl Rove, I mean all people I know personally who I've seen like be seized by this brain virus. And they're not Jewish. They're, most of them are self described Christians. And, and then the, the Christian Zionists who are, well, Christian Zionists, like what is that right? I can just say for myself I dislike them more than anybody, you know, because like what?
Ezra Levant
Yeah, I can't believe I looked up to that guy once. But he was a very different man. I tell you, I watched some so much Tucker Carlson on Fox News, I really feel like I knew the contours of his policy mind. He's just completely changed 180 degrees since he's been out on his own. And I have to think it's for money or something else because unless he's had a religious conversion, I don't know what else could explain his political conversion. So I think it's important to know your history, know your present day facts. There are over three hundred and fifty Christian churches in Israel, by the way, 100 in Jerusalem alone. Christians thrive in Israel. They have the right to vote They've served in the Knesset and on the Supreme Court. I'm glad this little kerfuffle yesterday was resolved within a few hours. I read somewhere that the church hadn't been closed in centuries till the Jews closed it. That's obviously not true. The same cardinal had actually shut it down himself for Covid. But it's a psyop. I know of a church, one of the biggest in the world. It's called the Hagia Sophia. It's absolutely stunning. It was in Constantinople, the largest, richest, most Christian city in the entire world. But then on May 29, 1453, it was conquered by Islamic Jihad. The Ottoman Turks, they desecrated the church, they defiled it. Thousands of men were murdered and women were raped, including on the altar of the church. If you had the stomach for it, you should read what they did when the Jihadists took the church itself. Very soon the Turks turned the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. Now the city is called Istanbul. They've erased its Christian history and Christians are still banned from praying at that mighty church. Now a mosque. Now I'm all for standing up for Christians, not just keffiyeh wearing priests who are delayed a few hours for reasons of public safety, but also the thousands of Christians around the world killed in places like Nigeria and Egypt and Iraq, and those who were killed in Turkey in the Ottoman Empire centuries ago, and those who are struggling to be free in China and elsewhere. I've fought for this issue for decades. Don't let them pit Jews and Christians against each other. Stay with us for more. Hello my friends. There's a lot of things roiling in Toronto because it's such a multi ethnic city. People who have come here with foreign nationalities and have not fully integrated into Canada with see different battle lines. Just over the weekend, Shen Yun, which was a Falun Gong Chinese freedom oriented orchestral ballet was cancelled, most likely from Chinese Communist Party interference. They pulled the fire alarm. That's the least of it. At least there was no shooting, which we see by IRGC Iranian terrorists. Let me leave you with a couple of videos from our friend Scarlet Grace, who was covering some of these protests in the streets of Canada. I think we have several problems. I think mass immigration from countries where they despise our Western ways as part of it. I think for those who come here, we make no demands that they integrate and assimilate. That's part of it and I think it's just too much too fast. There's only a limit to what can be absorbed and I think that that's a deliberate policy of over immigration. Let me leave you with those thoughts. Here's some videos from Scarlet. I'll be back in a moment to read you my mail.
Scarlet Grace
Scarlet Grace with Rebel News. I am back at the intersection of Bathurst and Shepherd in the heart of Canada's largest Jewish neighborhood here in Toronto, where for well over a year now pro Palestine protesters have been invading and protesting here in the Jewish neighborhood. So this particular intersection was the location of the the consecutive pro Israel rallies, the rallies in support of the return of the hostages. Every single week, Every Sunday since October 7th for two years until October 2025, the Jewish community and allies gathered at this very spot in support of Israel and calling for the return of the Israeli hostages. And they did it until the last living hostages were returned from Gaza. But that did not stop the pro Palestine protesters from continuing to come here. Even when the official rallies for Israel had ended, the pro Palestine crowd continued to invade the Jewish neighborhood and harass Jewish people. And because they weren't getting much of a response here at the intersection anymore because the official rallies had ended, they started to take to walking through residential streets with their flags, with their anti Zionist, anti Semitic chance. And until last week into 2026, now March 2026 until last week, they were finally banned from marching through and demonstrating in the residential areas in front of people's homes.
Pro-Israel Protester
Are you gonna have flags, signs, space coverage? Kefiya, that's a protest. If you're walking about your business to get to your car that's parked there, that's a different story. But you know, now we're splitting here. That's a game that you are want to play. We'll have a conversation because I know that's a game you're probably willing to play.
Scarlet Grace
Some of you out here, this really ticked off that crowd and they put out a poster this week saying charter for some, checkpoints for others. Which is drawing parallels to the pro Palestine protesters here in Canada, to the checkpoints in Israel that they have for quote Palestinians before the war started in October 2023, some, some 10 to 20,000 people from Gaza would enter Israel every day with work permits to work. And the same thing for Judea and Samaria, the west bank, the colonial name. Around a hundred thousand people every day would enter Israel for work and they had to go through checkpoints because their ideology calls for the destruction of Israel and for the killing of Jews. And they would do that. There would be suicide bombings, there would be stabbings, and once they war started, those people were no longer allowed to enter Israel for work because of the growing threats that did not stop terrorist attacks, though Palestinians would still stab Israelis and there would still be terrorist attacks because Israel, being as kind as they are, started to let them in again to work. So the pro Palestine protesters in Toronto are comparing themselves to having checkpoints points as the Palestinians do back in Israel. It's really quite hilarious the fuss that they've made over this when they have been the ones invading a Jewish area. They don't live here, they don't come from here. They drive from miles away to come here to harass Jewish people. And now they are acting as if they are the victims, as if they are being persecuted, which is actually reminiscent of the ideology over in Israel versus
Jewish Community Member
they call us colonizers. But here they are colonizing a coveted piece of Jewish land and they will not leave this corner ever. October 7th happened. And anybody who had an inkling of anti Semitism inside of their body, it just exploded and it gave them the right to start doing the Jew hatred all over again.
Pro-Israel Protester
What other neighborhood in the city, in the country, if this was happening week after week after week, it would be allowed. Why is it allowed in our neighborhood?
Ezra Levant
It was not like this five, ten years ago.
Pro-Israel Protester
What they want to do is just harass the community and just bother them. And just to be a pain in the neck for no particular reason other than just to be a pain in the neck. Both our people, Iranian people and Israeli people always stand together. As you can see, those people are both anti Iranian and anti Israeli. They're mostly anti Semitics, but they're Arabic, chance and everything.
Scarlet Grace
We have the picture of Shani Luke who was murdered on October 7. And there is the picture of the Gazan savages who paraded her dead body, her dead half nude body. And that is what the people across the street support and say is resistance. Just a young girl who went to a music festival. Do you guys feel safe these days?
Jewish Community Member
No, absolutely not. But I'm not hiding. I'm wearing my stuff. I wear my flag. I keep my mezes up. I openly admit I am a proud Jew. They will skip downtown rallies just to be here. Because this is a coveted Jewish neighborhood. And that is why they're here. And that's why we continue to come. Because we're not afraid. We'll never be afraid. And we're not going anywhere.
Pro-Israel Protester
These people are extremely allergic to truth. So when you give them a dose of their own medicine, they can shut up. We're in the riding of MPP Michael Kirzner. Who comes from here once in a while and does speeches, but there's no results. They are walking through his riding, terrorizing people. He writes a letter to demcue. There's no responses, no nothing.
Jewish Community Member
We have nobody. They might speak about it and pretend that they want to help us, but they don't. They don't care.
Pro-Israel Protester
There's a legal test. There's a legal standard that we have to see if it crosses the threshold or not. But it's in bad taste.
Jewish Community Member
The police presence here today is huge. And you know, some people may look, that is like, isn't that wonderful that the police are responding? My answer is, if our political power people had responded two years ago, it never would have escalated to this. The police are a band aid to a problem. They are not addressing the problem.
Pro-Israel Protester
The fact that we have all these police who don't really do anything and have been more negative toward us than people who are probably paid protesters that are coming in across the road week after week after week. Look at all the money that they're spending here. To do what? Unless you have a policeman at every school 24 hours a day, at every synagogue 24 hours a day, around every Jewish business 24 hours a day, it's hard to know what the police can do.
Scarlet Grace
Unbelievable. There's a banner they're holding up behind me here that says checkpoints in Canada. There's a flag of Palestine and it says not allowed. And then a flag of Israel that says allowed. Last I checked, they're allowed. They're allowed to stand here in the Jewish neighborhood with their anti Semitic signs, with their anti Zionism.
Pro-Israel Protester
But luckily Israel and America are taking on that evil government.
Jewish Community Member
You know, for a lot of Jews, they are terrified. They take down their mezuzahs. I mean, I would never ascribe to that, but some people do. I mean, I know a lot of people who are feeling pure fear.
Pro-Israel Protester
This consciousness has to be raised on how this infection before this infection spreads exponentially. As it is. They know that they're getting a rise out of the community. They know that the community does not want them here.
Scarlet Grace
Shut up, dog. You're stupid. I can't. Yeah, you shut up, dog. Why don't you make me? So the pro Palestine group has officially crossed the street to the side that they're not allowed to be on. Or at least if the Jewish side of the street tries to cross over there, they get threatened with arrest. You try and cross the street street to the pro Palestine side and the police will threaten you with arrest. But now they are, they just crossed the street and they are marching through the neighborhood which they were told they are not allowed to do. Let's see if the police will do anything.
Ezra Levant
Let them go in the residential street.
Pro-Israel Protester
They'll know they'll be taken care of. We're taking care of it, sir. You're rolling your eyes.
Scarlet Grace
The fact that they allow this. Taking care of it, sir. When the criminal code states that supportive terrorism in Canada is illegal. I know it's not your job, it's not the RCMP's job, but why is that not being enforced here? Why has it escalated this much?
Pro-Israel Protester
I got no comment. Right now.
Scarlet Grace
Israel is a terrorist.
Pro-Israel Protester
Anti.
Scarlet Grace
What's a terrorist?
Pro-Israel Protester
What a dog?
Scarlet Grace
Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine.
Pro-Israel Protester
You pedophile. But yeah, you're a pedophile. Why you take a shower?
Jewish Community Member
You.
Scarlet Grace
Mohammed married a six year old and he's not a pedophile.
Pro-Israel Protester
I'm not a Jew.
Scarlet Grace
This is astounding. So so far they are allowed to do their march and the police have said oh, they'll stop it if they go through the residential streets. But right now the pro Israel side and the pro Hamas side are completely intermingling, yelling at each other in the street. The police are not doing anything to keep them apart.
Ezra Levant
Big loser. That's you.
Pro-Israel Protester
Cover your face. Cover.
Scarlet Grace
Muhammad married a six year old, consummated in a nine.
Pro-Israel Protester
How old was Rebecca when Isaac penetrated her?
Ezra Levant
How old?
Scarlet Grace
Okay, answer, Answer about Muhammad. Answer about Muhammad. Oh, so it's better that it's better to marry a 6 year old?
Pro-Israel Protester
I'm just saying. Why are you throwing, why are you throwing accusations? Look in the mirror. Stop throwing stones.
Scarlet Grace
I'm not doing. I'm not doing.
Pro-Israel Protester
You're an idiot. Then why don't you go get a job, you piece of.
Jewish Community Member
This is actually a public humiliation for the police and they're gonna have to answer how they let this spectacle go down the street when they've already said that they wouldn't allow it.
Scarlet Grace
So it appears the police have stopped the pro Palestine mob from walking through this residential street and are keeping them on the main street where the businesses are. So supposedly they're keeping their word for now. Cbc, are we gonna tell the truth today?
Jewish Community Member
Sure are. Just like every day.
Scarlet Grace
That will be a first.
Jewish Community Member
They're letting these terrorists walk by a place of worship. They walk by two or three Jewish places of worship already and now they're walking by a Jewish seniors residence. Many of those people in that residence are Holocaust survivors and they have to watch terrorists walk outside their residence.
Ezra Levant
What if there were a KKK ralph that did this at Jane and Finch,
Pro-Israel Protester
what do you think the police would do? How long would it last? Wouldn't last five minutes. But we're second class citizens in this country and therefore the police let them get away with this for a whole hour.
Scarlet Grace
Look at this terrorist flag right here. Killing women and children. Oh, shut up, you stupid rape supporter. Rape supporter. Rape supporter. Rape supporter. Kill rape supporter. Yes, you were. I have it on camera,
Pro-Israel Protester
You dirty scumbag.
Scarlet Grace
So he shoved his clipboard in your face?
Pro-Israel Protester
Yeah. You can put my clipboard.
Scarlet Grace
And nothing happens? Nothing happens.
Pro-Israel Protester
You'll see what happens.
Scarlet Grace
This is not good for Canada in so many ways. There's a person who's dressed up, seemingly in a burqa, but she or he also has a rainbow pride flag on them as well. So he's against the terrorists 100%. It's kind of a clever move. So the man who was dressed up in a burqa, which was infuriating the pro Hamas side, is now being detained. He tried to leave. Leave? He took his little costume off and he tried to leave. And now he's being detained or investigated by police for. For wearing a burka with a pride flag which offended the terrorist supporters. We don't want to do that. It's okay to offend the Jews in their own neighborhood, but we don't want to offend the protesters invading the Jewish neighborhood. And how many police officers circled the person cosplaying as Yahya Sinwar? None. None. None. None. Think twice about what policing we're paying for. But you support the Islamic regime. You support the Islamic regime in Iran. How many people did they kill this year? How do you justify the genocide of Iranians?
Pro-Israel Protester
Nobody believes in your lies.
Scarlet Grace
There's video evidence of it. You're saying. Are you saying that Iranians were not killed in the tens of thousands this year?
Pro-Israel Protester
Sir, nobody believes in your lies. Get the out of my side.
Scarlet Grace
Why do you support the Islamic regime in Iran, sir?
Pro-Israel Protester
Child killers.
Scarlet Grace
Why do you support the child killers in Iran?
Pro-Israel Protester
Zionist child killers.
Scarlet Grace
What about the child killers in Iran? They're executing children. They're hanging children in Iran.
Pro-Israel Protester
Zionists are pedophiles and child sex traffickers.
Scarlet Grace
Actually, child marriage is legal in Iran. Sir. Child marriage is legal in Iran.
Pro-Israel Protester
Who believes in your lies anymore? You.
Scarlet Grace
Do you know how many women or. Sorry, how many girls under 15 gave birth in Iran this year?
Pro-Israel Protester
October 7th. October 7th.
Scarlet Grace
I'm not talking about October 7th. I'm talking about the Islamic regime. The flag you were holding I'm anti Semitism.
Pro-Israel Protester
Anti Semitism, get the out of my. I love the people of Israel. My Bible told me to support them. So that's why I'm standing with them at all times.
Scarlet Grace
That concludes the four hour long ordeal of the propallies invading the Jewish neighborhood this weekend. I guess we'll see what they do next weekend if they're going to carry on. This was a much longer demonstration than they usually do. They marched for at least an hour. This started at 11am and it's now past 2, I think it's about 2:30 now. They just dragged it out. They dragged out police resources. They took everybody on a wild march around the neighborhood. The police did block them from entering residential side streets, but they still were able to march and demonstrate past places of worship, old folks homes, kindergartens and spew their anti Semitic vitriol with absolutely no repercussions from police. The only person that the police detained today was somebody dressed in a burqa with a pride flag who infuriated the pro paleys.
Ezra Levant
Hey, welcome back. Your letters to me. About my interview with the US Ambassador Alex Schevel said, I don't know why you can't do both. Just a simple phrase, but it holds so much weight. I think that's a reference to the ambassador saying you can both grow your foreign markets and your American business. That seems to be sort of obvious. You know, I don't really have a business where I sell products. We sell ideas, I guess, and, and we speak English and we're culturally similar to America. So America is our second largest market for what we sell. But if you're selling physical products or even services, odds are you're going to have a lot easier time selling them to a country that's just across the border that speaks English, that has a similar rule of law, that's culturally similar, that in almost every way is our closest cousins. You could go to China and try to sell there. They have different laws, different history, different culture, different ideas when it comes to law and deals and the Sanctity Diva contract. So sure, fill your boots, go try and do business in China. Just make sure they don't steal all your intellectual property and then cut you out of the contracts. So yeah, good luck in China, enjoy yourself. But the United States I can't imagine will ever not be the most important market for Canadians. Tilly Sanders says with respect, this gentleman does not seem to fully comprehend which is what is happening in this country. Well, he's been here for 11 months, but I think he is taken aback by the hostility to the United States expressed in our political class and in our media class. So, yeah, I think he's still wrapping his brain around it, frankly, Jess. And GP says, thanks, Rebel. And Ezra, great interview. And yes, Alberta has a great relationship with us. We will continue to keep that relationship in good standing regardless of what the other provinces think. Yeah, he really had a lot of praise for Danielle Smith and I think she's being a grown up about it. She's being constructive. She's not calling names. I mean, it's just gone absolutely cuckoo, you know, Wab Canoe, the premier of Manitoba, has never had more press or more loving press in his life since he's taken to insulting Donald Trump directly as a pedophile and, and as a Jeffrey Epstein associate. Like, these are insane things to say about Donald Trump. They're factually false, by the way. But if that's his idea of preparing for a negotiation for a trade deal, we're all in trouble. I mean, I think Daniel Smith is the only grown up and I think the ambassador recognized that too. Well, that's our show for the day. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
