On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra discussed the decision by the Edmonton Heritage Festival Association (EHFA) to exclude the Russian pavilion from its Edmonton Heritage Festival. The EHFA board said that the decision was made due to safety concerns. Lorne Gunter joined the show to discuss his piece reacting to the Russian cultural ban. "Russian-Canadians and Ukrainian-Canadians can have strong opinions about what’s going on in their legacy countries, but here they owe one another the respect they owe every other Canadian," Lorne wrote.
