    3:54 – On the sincerity of Ezra’s apology for bigoted remarks against the Roma people.

    4:24 – Defamation court and getting things wrong.

    5:16 – Again, on the sincerity of Ezra’s apology and his bigoted remarks against the Roma people.

    7:08 – Ezra’s presence in the Canadian media, SUN TV’s low ratings and how he fits in.
