Ryerson University Magazine reported in its winter 2015 issue that Levy “likes to go on trips that last for days and that don't have any precise destination.” He rode his motorcycle across central and western Canada, from Toronto to Vancouver, in the summer of 2022.

He explained that while Ryerson University did not agree with Dr. Somerville's views, revoking the award would be counter to freedom of speech and the right to expression.
