Ezra Levant's Horrible and Expensive Year's End



As we all know Ezra Levant spends a lot of his time begging for money. And I mean a lot of time.

There isn't a day that goes by that he can't be seen rattling his tin cup, or bellowing through his bullhorn.

So I'm sorry to report that his begging is about to become even more deafening.



After that ghastly Con bigot lost a another big court judgment. 

The appellant published nine posts to his online blog, which the trial judge found were libellous of the respondent. Any defences that might have been available were negated by the trial judge’s finding that the appellant was motivated by malice. She awarded $50,000 in general damages and $30,000 in aggravated damages. The appellant appeals both the finding that the blog posts were libellous and the quantum of the damages award. 

I would dismiss the appeal. As agreed by the parties, I award costs of the appeal to the respondent fixed at $15,000 inclusive of disbursements and HST. I would not interfere with the costs order made below.

And sure enough he's already trying to milk his faithful followers. 

I lost a big court case today, and I think freedom of speech for all of us has suffered a setback.

I’m going to apply for permission to appeal this to the Supreme Court of Canada. I’m not sure if they’ll grant us permission. But we’re going to try. My lawyer says that will cost approximately $10,000.


If you share my belief that we cannot let this ruling stand, please help me cover the costs of applying to the Supreme Court by visiting StandWithEzra.ca

And as usual trying to make it sound like he's a martyr for free speech...



Even though he is nothing more than a professional bigot.

And if you visit his latest Stand With Ezra begging bowl. 

The three judge panel — led by a Jewish judge, Kathryn Feldman — upheld the trial decision against me, and the $80,000 judgement, plus the $70,000 cost penalty, plus $15,000 more for the appeal. So $165,000 dollars — all for a Muslim activist who never told the court that he lost a single penny because of my comments.

You can't help but get the impression that it's mostly about the money.

Because that's got to hurt. Ouch.

Especially since he has, or had, big plans for his ratty YouTube network. 

And now he's going to have to sell a lot more subscriptions to upgrade his Rebel studio...



And what a way to end the year, with this ugly rally in Calgary...



Which had even the Con media condemning him.

And this other rally in Edmonton, which cost him his self styled title of "heroic Rebel Commander."

After he revealed himself to be a coward, when challenged by a group of Raging Grannies...



Hey, who said 2016 was all bad?

Ask Levant how he enjoyed this year.

And if you see him running by you, be sure to throw him a nickel. For food money.

And wish him an even better 2017...

Those grannies were good but they still miss the "On Canada" whatsit in the song. Shows they are true Canadians as I have never heard us get it right.

Ezra states
led by a Jewish judge
Err is he alleging anti-semitic discrimination by a Jewish judge or complaining that a nice Jewish boy does not get the benefit of the doubt?

Either way he's a racist gobshit.

Oh, BTW, thanks for the link to the appeal court judgment. I probably am a bit weird but I find that such documents make great reading. Judges are not going to win a Nobel for Literature (err wait, if Springsteen can ...) but they tend to be excellent factual writers. Clearly this is well-written.

Note: In my limited experience, British judges write very well and are often funny in their use of irony.

"Stand with Ezra" - no posting dates; no way to comment; just fluff for the followers of Ezra. (My uncle had a cow named Ezra. Hmmm.)

I believe Ezra is constitutionally incapable of an honest day's work much like Rob Ford and Donald Trump. He lurches from crisis to crisis like a drunk and lamp posts and parking meters to hold him up.

Maybe he could do stand-up comedy somewhere down in the Deep South.

Just a thought.

Happy Christmas to you and yours and may you have a wonderful New Year.

hi rumleyfips...yes, they must be, because Levant was in a real lather. They must have disrupted his meeting at the time when he was getting ready to pass the bucket... ;)

Simon said...

hi jrkrideau...yes I noticed that too, and it's so typical. The man is getting worse as he ages, and is as always a horrible bigot. Does he really think that his sordid record and his ghastly Rebel won't be taken into consideration? And that anyone could believe that he is a defender of free speech rather than someone who uses hate to make money? The man is beyond belief...

Simon said...

hi jrkrideau...I don't know if it was well written, but it sure was devastating. And because it's so devastating I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court will dismiss his appeal like somebody swats a fly...

Simon said...

hi UU4077...yes it's interesting how he has a separate page for contributions. Although I suppose since the Rebel didn't exist when he shot his big mouth off, why should he ask his readers to pay for his mistake?
If they were brighter they might ask themselves that question...

Ezra Levant is a miserable human being. I hope Santa left him a big pile of reindeer shit in his yard.

hi David...Levant as a stand-up comedian? Hmmm...I never thought of that. Although if you watch one of his performances with the audio muted he is pretty funny. Maybe we'll be blessed, and have him end-up as a third rate Don Rickles. "Hey whatsa matter your don't think I'm funny? Are you a Muslim or what? Now give me some money !!!!!"
Yes, I think that would be fitting. And a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too David...

Simon said...

hi justplanecrazy...yes, Levant is a horrible human being, and it was a horrible scene.
Ezra standing there in his underwear, knee deep in reindeer poo, waving his fist at Santa as he rode away, and screaming: " But... but... everybody gets SOMETHING !!!!!
Are you a REFUGEE??? Now gimme some money or ELSE!!!!"
While Santa just chuckled and said "HO HO HO you HO, just STFU!!!"
