Parliamentary report wants to ban the 'manosphere,' including young men who want to get in shape A 62-page report from Parliament's Standing Committee on the Status of Women calls for censoring "anti-feminist" online content, reprogramming boys through early education, and regulating locker room conversations — and it was co-chaired by former Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu, who crossed the floor to the Liberals. The federal Standing Committee on the Status of Women has released a 62-page report called Confronting Anti-Feminist Ideologies in Canada. On Friday's episode of The Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 Show, Ezra walked through the document and noted it has very little to do with equality and a great deal to do with silencing disagreement. The report's very first sentence declares that anti-feminist ideologies "contribute to violence against women and gender diverse people." Ezra pointed out what that means in practice. "They're not critics. They're not opponents. They're not citizens who have a different point of view," he said. "They are evil. That's the entire premise here." The committee's recommendations follow from that premise. Enhance public awareness and digital literacy among youth. Translation: tell you what to believe. Address online harms and regulate digital platforms: censorship. Develop strategies to engage men and boys in advancing gender equality through early intervention. Translation: start on the boys young. Fund Canadian media that agrees? Bribe the regime media. Expand data collection on anti-feminist ideologies — that's paying professors to create fake scholarships around it. The report identifies the "manosphere" as a primary threat. Ezra, with some bewilderment, said that this includes young men trying to get physically fit. The committee heard testimony that "looks-maxing" — working to improve one's physical appearance — originates from anti-feminist online subcultures and is spreading into playgrounds and locker rooms. "We better stop the looks-maxing," Ezra said sarcastically. "We want people to be ugly." Traits the report describes as "toxic masculinity" include working hard, carrying a load without complaining, and showing strength. "Imagine being strong, showing strength, not complaining, and calling that toxic masculinity," Ezra said. "Isn't that something all men should aim for?" Women who prefer traditional roles — homemaking, raising children — are given two sentences in the report, in which they are essentially accused of being traitors to their sex. The "tradwife" movement is described as promoting "misogyny, anti-equality, misinformation, and idealized patriarchal roles." Choosing to be a homemaker, the report suggests, is itself a form of harm. The report recommends counter-messaging in sports, intervention in locker rooms, and "pre-bunking", that is, educating children before they are exposed to what the committee considers misinformation, so they are inoculated against it in advance. This, Ezra said, amounts to a plan to reprogram children. "Imagine having the government say your opinions aren't just wrong, they need to be pushed out of you," he said. The report also recommends requiring content moderation on social media platforms and ending online anonymity. "If you're not a feminist, that's misinformation," Ezra said. "It's not a different opinion. You're just simply wrong, evil, deluded. They have to fix you." Ezra saved his sharpest words for last, taking aim at the committee's co-chair Marilyn Gladu — who was elected as a Conservative MP on a socially conservative platform and subsequently crossed the floor to the Liberals. "She was bribed by Mark Carney," he said. "And this is what she co-wrote."

American logically breaks down why Zohran Mamdani swearing in on the Quran is actually a very big deal “So Zohran Mamdani took his oath, and he took his oath by placing his hand on the Quran. And for most liberals, they're not going to care. They're going to say, hey, this is not a big deal. Do not look at this. Do not be islamophobic, and why is this even important? But to the people who actually study religion, who have actually read the Quran, who have actually been paying attention, they know that everything inside that book, inside their Bible, does not represent the views of Americans. It's very anti-American, it's very anti-woman, it's very anti-everything that we stand for. And so now the thing is, is that Americans are going to have to watch and see just how radicalized Zohran Mamdani really is. He's already a self-proclaimed socialist, and we've known that with the studies throughout history, socialism has never worked. Had it worked, there would be tons of examples, there would be reasons to actually apply this, but the truth is that it has absolutely never worked, and as a matter of fact, anybody that's ever applied socialism has failed miserably. And when I say failed miserably, I mean the collapse of absolute society has happened under socialism. So we watch this happen, and now we have to watch and see what it's going to look like in the future. And to be honest with you, I don't think it's going to be good.”

I've been sitting on the evidence for this Girlguiding story since March. Even then, it took months to persuade a mainstream publication to cover this aspect of the investigation. For an independent journalist, pursuing a story like this without the backing of a national newspaper's legal team carries obvious risks. But I persisted because I believe there is a strong public interest in asking whether organisations entrusted with the care of girls are putting safeguarding first. This investigation involved months of conversations, verification and painstaking work. Unsurprisingly, some people have suggested that concerns about these issues are exaggerated. That is why I'm sharing some of the publicly available material I found online. To be absolutely clear, there is no suggestion that this individual has done anything wrong. Indeed one could argue he has also been failed by a system that affirmed and accepted him as a Girlguiding leader and later appointed him to a 16-person advisory committee - apparently without sufficient scrutiny of his suitability for the role. The greater failure, however, was towards the girls and women who should never have been expected to accept males in a single-sex organisation. I hope this story helps explain why many women believe this debate has never simply been about being "kind". It is about safeguarding, boundaries and whose interests are prioritised. I'm grateful to everyone who helped bring this story to light, including women who spoke to me privately and helped with research. And Graham Linehan who reminded me how important it was to tell this story. And I do think we should ask why it was so difficult to secure national coverage of a story that many people would regard as being firmly in the public interest.

For decades, universities, corporations, and nonprofit organizations have argued that they need diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to create positive work and educational environments. The idea has been that training employees, students, and faculty to see and denounce structural racism and white supremacy everywhere will improve relationships. And yet, nothing that employers and universities have done in the last several decades has proven more toxic, divisive, and dispiriting than DEI. Dozens, if not hundreds of individuals have gone public to describe the cult-like mistreatment of people who refused to accept the DEI dogma that white supremacy is all-pervasive, that non-whites are inherently victims of oppression, and only whites and Asians, not blacks and Latinos, can be racist. Not everybody dislikes DEI programs. Their rapid spread across America’s colleges and universities, major corporations, and nonprofit organizations is a testament to the genuine demand for such programs among boards of directors, trustees, and executive staff. The thousands of DEI executives, consultants, and authors are a testament to the desire for DEI. Today, DEI is a $10 billion annual global industry. But telling millions of people that they are inherently racist by the color of their skin has provoked an understandable backlash. After all, it’s a racist claim made in the name of fighting racism. The central idea of DEI is that all whites and, depending on the DEI variant, all Asians are racist, for reasons outside of their control. It is a dehumanizing ideology. It is also conspiratorial, paranoid, and insulting. Consider the case of former Pennsylvania State University assistant professor of writing, Zack De Piero. In June 2020, the DEI director of the university sent a memo ordering “white people” to “Stop talking and listen to what needs to be done,” accept that they had “internalized white supremacy,” and “hold other white people accountable…” Then, the university’s DEI Vice President held a Zoom and “told everybody in attendance, ‘I want you to hold your breath in honor of George Floyd. And for all the white attendees, I want you to hold your breath even longer until you feel the pain.’” A few months later, De Piero’s employer made him watch a video called “White Teachers Are a Problem.” One year later, he says, The Penn State Affirmative Action Office told him, point blank, “There is a problem with the white race” and ordered him to attend “antiracist” workshops “until you get it.” De Piero refused to accept that he was racist, simply for the fact of being white. He refused to accept that he should lower the standards he used with his minority students simply because they were minorities. In various ways he pushed back, until he got in trouble with his supervisor. “It’s not that complicated,” he said. “You shouldn’t have to go to work and be told that you’re morally deficient because of your race.” De Piero eventually got into trouble with his advisor for asking too many hard questions about the “antiracism” trainings. De Piero looked into hiring an attorney to sue the college but couldn’t afford it. “I was just about to drop it,” he said, “and in the 12th hour I got news from the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR) that they had some funds to help me file a complaint. None of this would have been possible without them.” In our podcast interview, after I asked De Piero why he thought he stood up to DEI bullies where millions of other people had done nothing...

Regina police respond to backlash over weekly call-to-prayer trial Last week, a new mosque in downtown Regina announced that it had tested its outdoor, weatherproof, four-direction call-to-prayer system and that it has a permit from the Regina Police Service to begin a trial period of weekly calls. This was unexpected news for many Regina residents, who have since expressed concerns over the potential regular disruption of peace and the lack of consultation with the community. Regina Police have since issued press releases claiming that the amplification falls within bylaw requirements and discouraging threats targeted at the mosque. On Tuesday’s Rebel Roundup livestream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle XX weighed in on the implementation, which appears to have been handled and approved solely by the police service. “From what I understand, Regina city council was not made aware of this,” said Lise. “The City of Regina administration is now aware of it, and fielding calls from a really concerned public — specifically Regina’s Jewish community.” Lise pointed out that Saskatchewan is often used as a “testing ground” to introduce radical ideas like these. “Activists — maybe including Regina Police Service — know that they’re never going to get more pushback than they do in conservative Saskatchewan,” said Lise. “So they test things on us here. And the more people that know that in Saskatchewan, the better.”

Carney punishes Albertans again with failed trade negotiations Alberta celebrated its 121st birthday as a province on September 1, after it was created by splitting a proposed mega-province, which would have been known as Buffalo, into what we now know as Alberta and Saskatchewan. Sheila Gunn Reid joined Ezra Levant on Tuesday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show for an in-depth conversation on all things Alberta to mark the occasion. The conversation started with the good news first. Alberta was projected to run a $9 billion deficit this year, but instead, the province pulled an $11 billion turnaround and posted a $2 billion surplus — its sixth consecutive budget surplus. The provice allso created 91,000 jobs last year, more than half of the roughly 180,000 jobs created across the entire country. "Things are good here in Alberta," Sheila said. "But they're good here in spite of the federal government and not in any way because of Confederation." Ezra then shifted to a New York Times report, saying he had to learn from an American news outlet, rather than a Canadian one, about Mark Carney's apparent offer to revive the Keystone XL pipeline as part of trade negotiations with the U.S. — only to then walk away from a deal at the last moment. Premier Danielle Smith, speaking at a press conference that Rebel News reporter Angelica Toy attended, said she had explicitly told the prime minister he had her full support to pledge additional barrels — another million or two million barrels a day — as a way of bridging the divide and closing the deal. Carney, it would seem, did not take her up on the offer. "Just walked away from $30 billion a year," Ezra said, "and I think it's because Brookfield doesn't have a share in it and the Liberal government doesn't have a cut of it. So they can't really praise themselves like they do when they give away every dollar in public investments." Sheila said the pipeline is a shared interest, "something that Alberta wants, but it's also something the Americans want." "It was an easy win in these negotiations and Carney took it off the table. Danielle Smith has explicitly said, 'You will not use Canadian energy as a bargaining chip. We don't want it. We're not going to hurt people on both sides of the border by doing this.' And yet Mark Carney, as an affront to the Western premiers, decided to use it as a bargaining chip anyway. It's such disrespect to us," she said. The failure to complete Keystone XL is one of many, as Ezra detailed, pointing to projects like the Trans Mountain, Northern Gateway and Energy East proposals. Each was privately funded, but each was killed before being completed, with the Liberals ultimately nationalizing the Trans Mountain pipeline for a cost of $35 billion. "The Liberals destroyed a hundred billion dollars of oil pipeline wealth and a quarter of a trillion dollars of oil wealth," Ezra said. "And Venezuela's going to fill up those U.S. refineries," he added, following a major announcement from the two countries this week. Carney, Sheila said, "used the oil patch as a weapon." In the end, "the only people who were punished were Albertans. So maybe Carney doesn't think of it as a failure." Alberta "could be like Dubai" if the province wanted to be, Sheila said, "but we're shackled to this anchor called Confederation." FULL REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:
