Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra asks: What flag do you wave? What flag would you never wave? What flag would you burn — and should you even be allowed to?

Ezra begins by discussing U.S. President Donald Trump's recent executive order criminalizing the burning of the American flag.

"Our great American Flag is the most sacred and cherished symbol of the United States of America, and of American freedom, identity, and strength. Over nearly two-and-a-half centuries, many thousands of American patriots have fought, bled, and died to keep the Stars and Stripes waving proudly," reads the order.

It goes on to clarify that this criminalization will have limitations. Test cases will likely be warranted "to clarify the scope of the First Amendment exceptions in this area."

Ezra points out that the most important part of this order is that it gives the government the right to "deny, prohibit, terminate, or revoke visas, residence permits, naturalization proceedings, and other immigration benefits... whenever there has been an appropriate determination that foreign nationals have engaged in American Flag-desecration activity."

Not violence.
Not property damage.
Mischief.

Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.

Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.

Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.

But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.

We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
