DEATH THREATS, A NOOSE ON A HOCKEY STICK, OPPONENTS KICKED OUT … CALGARY REBEL MEDIA RALLY WAS ANOTHER GOON SHOW
It would be easy just to make fun of Ezra Levant, a self-described defender of free speech, for throwing the Raging Grannies out of his protest rally yesterday for daring to try to exercise their right to free speech.
But seeing as in addition to calls from the podium to remove people who don’t support his message, there were credible reports out of Calgary yesterday of death threats levelled against a young woman reporter and someone waving a noose from a hockey stick, surely we can agree to stop calling these ugly events Mr. Levant organizes “anti-carbon tax rallies.”
Certainly opposition to the NDP provincial government’s carbon levy is part of the message at Mr. Levant’s events, but as happened yesterday when 800 or so of his supporters showed up at a supposedly public meeting in Calgary hotel’s ballroom, at least some of them started acting like an ugly, bullying mob.
