Roma: Levant Investigation

Toronto Police have announced they've undertaken a formal investigation into a complaint registered by members of Canada's Roma community against broadcaster Ezra Levant earlier this month. The complaint stems from comments made by Mr. Levant during a segment on his Sun News Network show, "The Source". It was entitled: "The Jew" -- that's a reference to Mr. Levant himself -- "versus The Gypsies". Gina Csanyi-Robah is the executive director of the Roma Community Centre of Toronto.
