On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Alexa Lavoie and Guillaume Roy discussed how left-wing protesters are becoming increasingly emboldened and violent in Montreal.

Just last weekend while reporting from a pro-union protest in the city's downtown core, Guillaume was violently assaulted by a masked assailant. Footage shows the perpetrator sneak up from behind Guillaume before grabbing a handle on his backpack and violently throwing him to the pavement.

The attack occurred as tens of thousands of union members and far-left demonstrators marched in protest of what they describe as an anti-labour legislative agenda being implemented by Premier François Legault.

Guillaume suffered a gash on his elbow from the attack and was forced to go to a nearby hospital where he received stitches for the wound.

Rebel News journalist Alexa Lavoie was also swarmed by far-left protesters who attempted to intimidate her and prevent her from covering the demonstration.

Footage shows dozens of demonstrators and left-wing agitators surrounding Alexa and chanting obscenities as she attempted to report from the protest.

A man pushing a stroller with a toddler in it even appeared to be preparing to strike Alexa's microphone before he was stopped by the Rebel News journalist's security guards.

The violent incident continues a disturbing trend of far-left extremists attempting to intimidate independent journalists from exercising their press freedom.

Only one week prior to this incident, two masked men followed the Rebel News Quebec team, with one proceeding to assault Guillaume as he was walking with Alexa.

Please help us protect Alexa and Guillaume from violent Antifa thugs so they can continue reporting fearlessly!

    You are wasting your time. The coverage made for some interesting journalism, but in the end, it accomplished very little.
    Spend the money on doing some in-depth investigation. You have to get down and dirty, like identifying these monsters.
    Who are they, where do they come from, how are they being funded, what is their ulterior motive, why now, and when does it end?
    Looking further into this, the question needs to be asked: “How is the Government involved in all of this”? Their reluctance to
    get involved is a big red flag, and it is going to take some serious journalism to uncover the truth. What about our police department? They are being told to stand down. Why? When they do appear on the scene, they pretend like nothing is happening and couldn’t care less if the Rebel ends up getting beaten up by the mob. You must dig deep to find out the truth about their reluctance to do their job. They won’t hesitate to get you into a room and threaten the hell out of you, but when it comes to some real policing, it’s like they are suffering from Alzheimer’s.
    You guys are doing some great work, but our society is changing, taking us in a direction to oblivion, eventually to self-destruction.
    To reveal the truth is going to take real courage because to the mob, you’re a threat that stands in the way of achieving world dominance.
    This is a conspiracy so deeply embedded that it’s impossible to know who you can trust as your friend.
    As far as your security is concerned, they have to do a much better job protecting your journalist. Many of them appear to be amateurs with no idea how to protect an individual.
