Latest attack on Canadian identity: Palestinian flag raising
Ezra Levant looks at the erasure of iconic Canadian figures like Sir John A. Macdonald and Queen Victoria and says Palestinian flag raising events are just the latest attack on Canada's identity and history by left-wing radicals.
The ongoing assault being waged against Canada's by left-wing activists was the topic of Ezra's monologue on Tuesday night's edition of The Ezra Levant Show, which came in the aftermath of a Palestinian flag raising event in Toronto.
That flag raising, and others like it across the country, were the latest attack against the country's culture, history and beliefs, Ezra said.
First recalling the effort to remove Sir John A. Macdonald from the $10 bill, Ezra said he was “glad” Viola Desmond “stood up for her rights” during an incident at a theatre. “But that's the entirety of her notoriety; in fact, she left Canada altogether and moved to the United States.”
Desmond was “a good woman,” he continued, adding he was “sorry” that she was “moved to a different seat for a racial, racist reason.” However, her accomplishments or as historical importance to Canada compared to Macdonald, the country's first prime minister and key force behind Confederation, were not nearly as significant.
But Desmond was “chosen not because she is a powerful figure in history,” but rather “for the opposite reason, to replace a powerful figure in history on our $10 bill, to deracinate our country, to undo our past, to smear our past, to recast our past as embarrassing,” Ezra said.
Drawing back to the Palestinian flag raising event, Ezra said “they're waving the Palestinian flag not because it's a country — it's not.” Instead, it's being waved “precisely because it's anti; it's anti-Israel, it's anti-Canada, just like they are.”
The demonstrators “don't actually care about Palestine as a country,” he continued, pointing to U.S. President Donald Trump's offer to transform Gaza under a peace deal, just like numerous other peace proposals over the decades.
“I don't think they actually care about another Arab or Muslim country; they're already more than 50 of them. This isn't really about making another state for the Palestinians,” he said.
“I think this is about destroying a state, Israel, and in Canada, I think it's about destroying our country, too. Our history, our beliefs, our heroes, as well.”

Melvyn Schobel commented 2025-11-19 20:51:58 -0500In today’s environment, truth-seeking is a radical act. Cancel culture, shaming, accusations of racism, and intimidation by ideological groups have made exploration dangerous. But I say: to enjoy the freedom to explore is to reclaim your humanity. It is to say, “I will not be silenced by fear. I will not be defined by inherited myth. I will seek, and I will speak.”
To those still standing before their own walls: do not be afraid. The truth does not punish. It liberates. The journey does not end in chaos. It begins in clarity.
It is worth remembering the world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people , but because of the silence of the good people.
Unfortunately, good people thrive on silence, even when they are being led to slaughter.
Stand up and say No, stand up you have a right to be heard and there is no better time than the present. Stand up you are important.
Never, never relent to intimidation. Make your voice heard for the whole world to hear you. Shout, shout, shout it out! -
