Toronto is set to host a flag raising event this weekend at a ceremony scheduled to commemorate Palestinian independence. The decision to raise the Palestinian flag has drawn sharp criticism, and, in Alberta, even saw Calgary’s mayor nix a similar planned flag raising, instead opting to cease any foreign flag raising festivities.
Those like activist Salman Sima, a former political prisoner of the Islamist regime in Iran, has been outspoken critic of Hamas’s rule over Gaza and has opposed the plan to raise the Palestinian flag in Toronto, organizing a protest against the event this week.
He joined guest host David Menzies on Thursday’s episode of The Ezra Levant Show to discuss the matter.
“You remember a few years ago when waving a Canadian flag was racist, you remember that they violated our Charter of Rights and Freedoms during the Freedom Convoy,” Salman said, recalling the darkest days of government overreach during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Changing symbols and confiscating the public’s firearms, like the Liberals are currently trying to do, are signs of an increasingly authoritarian regime, Salman continued, likening what’s happening in Canada to the Islamist takeover of Iran.
“I see exactly the same pattern [in Canada] as the country I escaped from,” Salman told David. “I was so lucky I came here as a legal refugee after being vetted,” he continued, explaining the numerous steps he had to complete before coming to his new home.
