Summary

This week, Sheila Gunn-Reed is joined by Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science to discuss a bit of climate change and Indian Residential School conspiracy theory, and to discuss her new project, Deconstructing CBC's Propaganda, which examines the narrative around Indian Residential Schools in Canada.


Transcript

00:00:00.100 We've got a bit of a climate change roundup this week with our friend Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science,
00:00:04.500 and then we're discussing her side project, wherein she examines the narrative around Indian residential schools here in Canada.
00:00:13.420 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:00:30.000 You know, since COVID has receded, we've gone back to the same old emergency, catastrophe.
00:00:40.940 The old thing that they used to use to control your life and where you went and what you could eat and the kind of car you could drive,
00:00:50.200 how far you can get away from your house, that sounds a lot like COVID, doesn't it?
00:00:53.580 And that's climate change.
00:00:54.480 The politicians who were hell-bent on controlling all the comings and goings and your interactions during COVID,
00:01:02.600 well, COVID's gone, and so they have to go back to the old one, climate change.
00:01:08.800 And there are a few different ways that they are using climate change to control your life,
00:01:13.660 and one of those ways is infesting the banking industry with climate hysteria,
00:01:19.100 which will lead, of course, to carbon social credits.
00:01:24.480 And if you think that's just a conspiracy theory, they're already doing this sort of thing to major energy projects.
00:01:30.840 If it doesn't meet climate targets, well, maybe the bank won't finance it.
00:01:35.040 Maybe the insurance companies won't insure it.
00:01:37.620 So it's a bureaucratic prohibition on an already approved project.
00:01:42.080 Neat little thing that they're doing.
00:01:43.260 And then after we discuss that with my friend Michelle Sterling and a whole host of other issues,
00:01:51.800 we're moving into something else that she has been acutely focused on,
00:01:56.060 and that is the facts around Indian residential schools here in Canada.
00:02:02.120 And she's not just a layperson on this issue.
00:02:04.640 She is someone who worked in Alberta history, in particular, for a very, very long time.
00:02:11.800 And so she's got a lot more expertise than the people accusing skeptics of genocide denial
00:02:23.820 on the issue of Indian residential schools.
00:02:26.500 It's a long show today, so I'll just be quiet.
00:02:28.560 Let's go directly into the interview.
00:02:37.800 So joining me now is my friend and good friend of the show, Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science.
00:02:42.500 And there's so much to talk about on the climate front, because now that COVID has receded,
00:02:47.060 we've gone back to the old emergency that's going to kill us all, and that's climate change.
00:02:51.980 Michelle, thanks so much for coming on the show.
00:02:54.420 Now, I wanted to talk to you, before we get into some other things, about you had sort of made a list of things that you wanted to talk about,
00:03:06.160 but there were some things that I wanted to talk about, too.
00:03:08.700 But I noticed this week, and the reason I sort of mentioned COVID is because there is a woman now suing CBC
00:03:17.360 and several levels of government and officers of government because of the propaganda that she fell victim to with COVID.
00:03:27.460 And she ended up with Bell's palsy and severe vaccine injury.
00:03:33.620 But and so there are attempts to hold CBC and the government responsible for their bad, flawed messaging there,
00:03:40.760 or at least their messaging that wasn't entirely honest.
00:03:45.020 And I see that you've done a little bit of deconstructing CBC's, what would we call misinformation,
00:03:54.880 on another front, and that's climate change.
00:03:57.660 So and I watched this as you did it.
00:04:00.280 It was a live show, Deconstructing CBC's Propaganda.
00:04:03.060 Mm-hmm.
00:04:05.040 Yes.
00:04:06.380 Yeah, the Deconstructing CBC's Propaganda, this was about the Fault Lines Report,
00:04:14.040 which also contained a lot of COVID material as well.
00:04:17.760 And basically, the Fault Lines Report was set up by the Canadian Council of Academics
00:04:23.060 or something to that effect, or Canadian Council of Academies.
00:04:27.500 Anyway, a multimillion-dollar organization, basically government-funded.
00:04:31.500 And, you know, we were the only group picked out by name in it.
00:04:36.960 But, you know, when you go through the CBC report,
00:04:40.340 you see that they're trying a new method of indoctrination and propaganda,
00:04:44.800 which is, you know, telling a story narrative.
00:04:48.860 So in a way, I feel bad for Jayla Bernstein,
00:04:52.200 because, you know, the live stream that we did really takes her to task,
00:04:58.620 because she was not reporting on the story.
00:05:02.940 Instead, she was creating this kind of narrative, storyline narrative,
00:05:07.540 to draw people in.
00:05:09.740 And then they put Stephen Lewandowski on screen,
00:05:12.820 and he's a professor of cognitive behavioral psychology.
00:05:18.120 He's the guy who wrote the very famous paper called
00:05:20.760 NASA Fake the Moon Landing, which then he tried to apply to all dissenting climate scientists
00:05:28.720 that they're all conspiracy theorists.
00:05:31.360 So this may be starting to sound a bit familiar to everyone.
00:05:34.600 Anyway, he said almost nothing, but in his interview,
00:05:39.540 and really the Fault Lines Report that Jayla did was not reporting at all.
00:05:46.040 So within that live stream, I did sort of like,
00:05:49.940 what if she had been reporting on actual things in the report?
00:05:55.720 So, you know, have a look at it and see what you think.
00:05:58.520 But yeah, CBC is, you know, not informing the public.
00:06:03.780 They're actively misinforming the public on so many things.
00:06:06.740 Now, one of the things that I think should have been all over mainstream media,
00:06:15.600 it happened in May, and I didn't see it anywhere except on the Friends of Science YouTube channel.
00:06:21.660 And that was that wind power in Alberta went to near zero.
00:06:28.760 And this was chilling to me because of the federal push for net zero policies.
00:06:36.000 They don't want even fossil fuel backup when it comes to green energy on the grid.
00:06:42.300 And I didn't see this reported anywhere,
00:06:44.680 that there was a complete and total collapse of wind energy in Alberta in late May,
00:06:50.800 except at Friends of Science.
00:06:52.840 Tell us what that would have meant for us.
00:06:54.340 First of all, tell us what happened and what that would have meant for us
00:06:57.560 if there were no such thing as fossil fuel backup for a grid.
00:07:01.620 Well, it's actually, there was one media report, and that was Brian Zinchuk of Pipeline Online.
00:07:09.080 So he did the first report of it, and then I picked it up and basically read his report as a video message
00:07:16.340 because, you know, it reaches more people and some people don't read.
00:07:19.360 Anyhow, yeah, wind collapsed, and for many hours, I don't have the stats off the top of my head,
00:07:28.600 but what it would mean for us is if we didn't have the natural gas backup,
00:07:34.220 which we do have, and we're building a couple of thousand megawatt more gas generation,
00:07:39.180 and if we didn't have the existing coal, which we do have,
00:07:42.940 if we didn't have the import from Saskatchewan, Montana, and B.C., we would have been toast.
00:07:48.820 And the thing is with wind, wind and solar are typically regional phenomenon.
00:07:55.980 So if there's a drop in wind in Alberta, that would be the same in Saskatchewan.
00:08:00.520 And Saskatchewan is also under tremendous pressure to abandon coal and not use any natural gas
00:08:08.500 and to implement a whole bunch of wind.
00:08:10.680 And, of course, the theory of the clean grid, which the east-west grid,
00:08:15.480 which is a liberal platform, has been for a long time.
00:08:19.160 It's based on probably on the Danny Harvey paper out of University of Toronto,
00:08:25.700 where he proposed, and note, he's a geographer, he's not a power generation expert,
00:08:33.080 and you can tell when you read the paper, because he thinks that an east-west grid
00:08:37.960 hooking up to hydro in the provinces with lots of hydro and nuclear in Ontario,
00:08:45.140 and wind mostly, like 30% of the wind power, I think, was to come from Alberta,
00:08:49.380 that we would have a very cheap, inexpensive power source.
00:08:55.440 And you're hearing this being repeated by the Clean Energy Canada,
00:09:01.140 the Tides Offshoot, by the Climate Institute.
00:09:05.680 And their argument is like, oh, there's so many billions of dollars on the table
00:09:11.040 for the provinces to be subsidized for this, you should just jump in,
00:09:15.780 and then you'll have cheap power.
00:09:17.380 Well, all those billions of dollars of subsidies come from our pockets,
00:09:21.560 so we'll be paying for these subsidies, not to mention,
00:09:25.340 there's not enough power on the grid right now for the EV policy in Canada, period.
00:09:31.160 There isn't enough power.
00:09:33.060 So if you're going to be electrifying houses and trying to hook up an east-west grid,
00:09:38.200 I mean, look what happened in Quebec over the Christmas holidays, right?
00:09:42.180 They got flattened by a big storm,
00:09:44.080 and they have problems there now because they have electrified a lot of homes
00:09:49.200 and they just don't have the capacity anymore.
00:09:53.140 So how can we hope to draw from Quebec's big hydro to Alberta
00:09:57.680 when they don't have enough there?
00:09:59.660 And if the wind goes flat here, we'll all be in blackout.
00:10:03.360 You know, and blackout is not only dangerous for humans,
00:10:06.680 especially in the middle of winter,
00:10:08.000 but it's catastrophically expensive for industry.
00:10:11.880 You know, if you have some manufacturing process,
00:10:14.740 many manufacturing processes have to run 24-7.
00:10:18.180 They are not meant to be stopped.
00:10:20.420 So if you have to stop,
00:10:22.280 then you have millions of dollars of product that's kaput.
00:10:27.500 In hospitals, you know,
00:10:29.240 they do have backup power for probably three or four days maybe.
00:10:33.580 But I think a lot of people in Quebec were out for a week or two, right?
00:10:39.020 So it's deadly.
00:10:40.760 It's a very bad idea.
00:10:43.620 Phenomenally expensive.
00:10:44.760 We've got a number of reports like the true cost of wind and solar for Alberta,
00:10:49.140 clean electricity, delusion or reality.
00:10:52.240 We've got quite a few reports online
00:10:54.120 that help people understand why it's so expensive to do this
00:10:58.180 and why it's so ineffective.
00:10:59.740 So, I don't know, there's like a freight train mentality
00:11:04.860 at the top in government at the federal level
00:11:07.960 and they seem to be unable to understand
00:11:10.980 these very fundamental, important things.
00:11:16.220 Yeah, and you can watch this stuff happen in real time.
00:11:20.320 There's a Twitter account called Reliable Energy Alberta,
00:11:24.240 I think it's called.
00:11:25.680 Reliable AB.
00:11:26.420 Yeah, Reliable AB.
00:11:29.280 And it shows you in real time,
00:11:31.540 all it does, it's a bot
00:11:33.340 and all it does is tweet out
00:11:35.400 what's on the Alberta grid at that moment.
00:11:38.340 And you will see for yourself
00:11:40.620 what an absolute pipe dream green energy is,
00:11:44.920 especially, especially on a cold day.
00:11:47.520 Take a look at that on a cold day or a hot day.
00:11:50.640 And then look at what your life would be like
00:11:53.800 without that fossil fuel backup on the grid.
00:11:56.420 And it's not fossil fuel backup,
00:11:58.180 it's fossil fuels on the grid.
00:12:00.320 That's right.
00:12:01.280 Yeah, you can look at the Alberta Electric System
00:12:03.540 operator as well.
00:12:05.060 That's where the data comes from for Reliable AB.
00:12:08.160 And they have a new dashboard,
00:12:10.700 which is also quite demonstrative.
00:12:12.880 You can see the capacity,
00:12:15.800 you know, because that's the other thing
00:12:16.940 that people get confused about.
00:12:18.700 People say, oh, look,
00:12:19.540 we've got 5,500 something megawatts
00:12:22.680 capacity of wind power.
00:12:25.340 Well, we do.
00:12:26.260 Okay, fine.
00:12:27.580 But capacity is not actual generation.
00:12:31.440 When it's not generating,
00:12:32.760 we have nothing.
00:12:33.540 It doesn't matter what,
00:12:34.760 how many megawatts you've built
00:12:36.260 because you don't have any power.
00:12:39.440 So, you know,
00:12:41.320 and at one point last year,
00:12:43.820 there was an article in the Calgary Herald,
00:12:45.680 I think,
00:12:46.180 and they were quoting Blake Schaefer
00:12:47.720 of the University of Calgary.
00:12:49.580 And he was saying,
00:12:50.420 well, this is great.
00:12:51.480 You know,
00:12:51.660 for the first time in history in Alberta,
00:12:53.960 renewables outperformed coal.
00:12:56.700 Well, we have like one or two
00:12:58.680 measly little coal plants still running,
00:13:00.860 putting out like 820 megawatts of power.
00:13:04.080 And we've had like 5,000 something
00:13:06.740 megawatts of renewables.
00:13:10.060 So the coal was actually doing
00:13:12.440 just 1% less in all these renewables
00:13:16.640 over the course of the year.
00:13:18.340 That's not a victory.
00:13:20.060 That's a failure.
00:13:21.540 Big one.
00:13:25.160 Well, and of course,
00:13:27.800 of course, at one point,
00:13:29.620 coal is going to be surpassed
00:13:31.940 by green energy.
00:13:33.240 They banned the use of coal
00:13:35.640 for electricity.
00:13:37.620 So, you know,
00:13:38.580 they're phasing it out.
00:13:39.980 So, of course,
00:13:41.100 it's government mandated decline
00:13:43.480 of the coal industry.
00:13:45.320 We have 800 years
00:13:46.360 of pretty clean burning coal
00:13:47.780 under our feet,
00:13:48.700 which seems ridiculous
00:13:50.120 that we're stranding it.
00:13:51.700 But yeah,
00:13:52.080 if the government mandates
00:13:53.360 to phase out of coal,
00:13:54.320 at some point,
00:13:55.080 it will be phased out.
00:13:56.180 And I think, unfortunately,
00:13:57.960 for the rate payer,
00:13:59.580 we're getting there.
00:14:01.220 Before we move on to
00:14:02.560 one thing I want to talk to you about
00:14:05.240 that's very chilling,
00:14:06.120 and that is this climate colonization
00:14:08.960 of the banking industry,
00:14:10.480 both here but also around the world,
00:14:12.640 is an update to Justin Trudeau's
00:14:15.180 flagship tree planting program,
00:14:19.640 which is such a farce
00:14:22.120 because Canada,
00:14:23.580 I mean,
00:14:24.120 we're covered by the boreal forest.
00:14:26.500 It's the world's largest
00:14:28.380 continuous forest.
00:14:30.300 And Justin Trudeau's idea was,
00:14:32.420 you know what we need to do?
00:14:33.400 We need to get the government
00:14:34.720 to pay people to plant trees
00:14:36.260 even though industry
00:14:37.200 already does it for free.
00:14:39.000 So tell us what's going on
00:14:41.480 with the tree planting program
00:14:42.820 and why you think Justin Trudeau
00:14:44.900 announced it in the first place.
00:14:47.340 Well, you know,
00:14:48.220 it's a debacle really,
00:14:49.880 and I did a little short video
00:14:51.440 where I'm crawling around
00:14:52.420 in the grass
00:14:53.020 by my little tree
00:14:53.980 that I thought was going to die.
00:14:56.640 And why I'm in the grass there
00:14:58.420 is that most of the trees
00:14:59.580 that they show
00:15:00.500 on the Natural Resources Canada website
00:15:03.460 that they've planted
00:15:04.840 are being planted
00:15:06.260 in very grassy places.
00:15:08.420 And our forestry consultant
00:15:09.640 tells us that,
00:15:10.840 you know,
00:15:11.660 grass will outdistance
00:15:12.920 the tree 10 to 1,
00:15:14.140 like it'll basically
00:15:14.960 kill the tree.
00:15:16.300 And when you plant trees,
00:15:17.620 apparently about 30%
00:15:19.120 of them don't survive.
00:15:20.740 It's just,
00:15:21.580 you know,
00:15:21.880 Mother Nature,
00:15:22.580 it doesn't matter
00:15:23.020 how much you tend them,
00:15:24.320 blah, blah, blah.
00:15:25.160 But what's interesting
00:15:26.360 with the tree planting program,
00:15:28.720 they've posted
00:15:29.320 a whole bunch of images
00:15:30.520 of all these different projects
00:15:32.400 that they funded.
00:15:34.140 And what I found
00:15:35.860 very interesting
00:15:36.560 is the money's going out.
00:15:38.580 And then in these reports,
00:15:41.140 they're saying,
00:15:41.800 well,
00:15:41.920 we hired a,
00:15:42.580 or we didn't hire,
00:15:43.580 we got a bunch of volunteers
00:15:45.480 to plant the trees.
00:15:47.300 Well,
00:15:47.660 you know,
00:15:48.380 I mean,
00:15:48.980 trees shouldn't cost
00:15:50.360 a lot of money.
00:15:51.360 If you go to a company
00:15:52.520 called Tree Time
00:15:53.660 that's in Alberta,
00:15:55.960 you can get
00:15:56.620 little bundles of seedlings
00:15:58.040 and I got some this year
00:15:59.420 for a very,
00:16:00.940 very cheap price.
00:16:02.400 And they're frozen
00:16:04.420 and then you let them
00:16:05.860 thaw out
00:16:06.280 and you plant them
00:16:06.940 and boom,
00:16:07.420 you have a tree
00:16:08.020 for very,
00:16:08.860 very little money.
00:16:09.980 So the government
00:16:10.920 is paying people
00:16:11.960 hundreds of thousands
00:16:13.060 of dollars
00:16:13.760 and then those people
00:16:15.220 are getting volunteers
00:16:16.820 to plant the trees.
00:16:19.480 So where's this money
00:16:20.780 really going?
00:16:22.060 And just to let you know,
00:16:23.460 there's another thing
00:16:24.440 that's coming to Alberta
00:16:25.700 or not to Alberta,
00:16:26.780 to Canada
00:16:27.280 called the
00:16:27.900 One Trillion Tree Org.
00:16:29.540 Well,
00:16:30.700 this is a project
00:16:32.340 of the World Economic Forum,
00:16:34.440 of course.
00:16:36.140 And it's,
00:16:36.820 what's the guy's name?
00:16:39.700 Benioff,
00:16:40.300 Mark Benioff
00:16:41.100 of Salesforce.
00:16:43.100 It was his idea.
00:16:44.140 They want to plant
00:16:44.680 a trillion trees.
00:16:45.620 So they're getting people
00:16:46.460 to be involved in this.
00:16:49.440 Well,
00:16:49.720 you know,
00:16:50.100 really it's a carbon credit project.
00:16:53.180 So,
00:16:53.880 so if you're
00:16:54.760 a messy polluter,
00:16:56.180 then you can go
00:16:56.980 to some tree planted place
00:16:58.480 and say,
00:16:58.860 hey,
00:16:59.000 why don't I buy
00:16:59.900 your carbon credits?
00:17:01.740 And then we can pretend
00:17:02.820 that I didn't pollute.
00:17:04.400 So I'll pay you some money.
00:17:05.960 And,
00:17:06.340 you know,
00:17:06.540 so it's really just
00:17:07.380 the lack of delivery
00:17:08.660 of an invisible substance
00:17:10.180 to no one,
00:17:11.340 trading hands,
00:17:12.640 picking pockets
00:17:13.340 of the consumer.
00:17:14.960 And I think
00:17:15.860 it's also very dangerous.
00:17:17.040 Like our forestry consultant
00:17:18.640 pointed out
00:17:19.380 a long time ago
00:17:20.440 that,
00:17:21.560 and you can see it
00:17:22.840 in our burning questions
00:17:24.200 report
00:17:24.960 about coal
00:17:26.180 in Alberta,
00:17:26.920 that if you have
00:17:28.940 a forest
00:17:29.540 that is dedicated
00:17:30.400 to carbon credits
00:17:31.580 and you have
00:17:32.540 a wildfire,
00:17:34.500 somebody's going
00:17:35.580 to have
00:17:35.960 big liabilities.
00:17:37.980 Now,
00:17:38.160 who's going to pay
00:17:38.980 for all those
00:17:39.980 carbon credits
00:17:41.360 that just
00:17:42.320 poof,
00:17:43.320 not only went up
00:17:44.640 in smoke,
00:17:45.540 but they also created
00:17:46.540 more CO2?
00:17:47.400 the consumer
00:17:53.100 always.
00:17:54.520 To answer your question,
00:17:55.880 who's going to pay?
00:17:57.400 Always the consumer.
00:17:59.760 These people
00:18:00.440 just pass their costs
00:18:01.340 along to everybody else.
00:18:03.660 No,
00:18:04.200 no,
00:18:04.500 but we're talking
00:18:05.000 like millions of dollars.
00:18:07.140 Sure.
00:18:08.780 Yes.
00:18:09.760 Yes.
00:18:12.180 Before we move on,
00:18:13.280 I want to
00:18:14.180 talk to you
00:18:15.680 about this thing
00:18:16.280 that seems pretty
00:18:16.880 commonsensical
00:18:17.600 given what we've just,
00:18:19.700 again,
00:18:19.960 what we just lived
00:18:20.560 through with COVID
00:18:21.100 where all the models
00:18:22.440 were wrong
00:18:23.180 and then,
00:18:25.040 and overblown
00:18:25.920 and overheated
00:18:26.920 and exaggerated
00:18:27.780 and doomsaying.
00:18:30.280 And that's nothing new
00:18:31.960 actually because
00:18:33.000 all the models
00:18:33.660 have always been wrong
00:18:34.480 for climate change.
00:18:35.940 And so,
00:18:36.820 our premier here
00:18:37.740 in Alberta,
00:18:38.420 common sense kind of
00:18:39.380 lady named Daniel Smith
00:18:40.380 said,
00:18:41.220 you know what?
00:18:41.960 I don't trust
00:18:43.940 the models
00:18:44.740 that are consistently wrong
00:18:46.400 and CBC
00:18:47.100 lost the marbles
00:18:48.160 about it.
00:18:49.800 Yeah,
00:18:50.440 it was on
00:18:50.880 Power and Politics
00:18:51.680 just a short clip
00:18:53.160 a couple of weeks ago.
00:18:55.420 And,
00:18:56.100 of course,
00:18:56.880 the government
00:18:57.760 modeling,
00:18:58.580 and it comes from
00:18:59.440 these ENGOs,
00:19:00.660 of course,
00:19:01.740 that are always
00:19:02.780 trying to destroy
00:19:03.640 our industry anyway.
00:19:05.700 They have projected
00:19:07.440 that there will be
00:19:08.420 almost no demand
00:19:09.440 for oil and gas
00:19:10.900 in the future,
00:19:12.260 especially not
00:19:13.180 from Canada
00:19:13.800 because it's
00:19:14.300 more expensive here,
00:19:15.600 and also that
00:19:16.580 the price of oil
00:19:17.360 will be kaput.
00:19:19.200 But Robert Lyman
00:19:20.360 just did a report
00:19:21.520 for us
00:19:22.160 that summarizes
00:19:23.160 a report
00:19:23.840 that was normally
00:19:25.000 done by British Petroleum.
00:19:26.880 Now they have
00:19:27.420 a consulting firm
00:19:28.200 doing the report.
00:19:29.780 And,
00:19:29.980 of course,
00:19:30.160 it shows nothing
00:19:30.940 but that demand
00:19:33.480 for oil and gas
00:19:34.580 is expanding
00:19:36.300 all around the world
00:19:37.160 and coal.
00:19:38.360 And it's expanding,
00:19:39.700 of course,
00:19:40.000 in all the
00:19:40.680 non-OECD nations.
00:19:44.020 And in the OECD nations,
00:19:45.840 it's pretty much
00:19:46.360 flatlined.
00:19:47.460 But we sell
00:19:49.320 our oil
00:19:49.820 anywhere, right?
00:19:50.940 We could sell it
00:19:51.560 anywhere around the world.
00:19:52.640 So if there's demand,
00:19:54.840 why wouldn't we
00:19:55.680 take advantage of that?
00:19:56.800 It's a huge
00:19:57.480 income earner
00:19:58.380 for the country.
00:19:59.500 So if you're going
00:20:00.160 to phase out
00:20:00.860 oil and gas,
00:20:02.200 what are you going
00:20:02.760 to use
00:20:03.220 to replace
00:20:03.920 that revenue?
00:20:06.860 You know,
00:20:07.660 that's the revenue
00:20:08.320 that pays
00:20:08.880 for healthcare,
00:20:09.680 that pays
00:20:10.140 for big
00:20:11.840 infrastructure projects,
00:20:13.880 that pays
00:20:14.860 for the military,
00:20:15.900 that pays
00:20:16.600 compensation
00:20:17.420 to Indigenous
00:20:18.760 people.
00:20:19.280 Like,
00:20:19.600 if we don't
00:20:20.000 have the
00:20:20.520 resource industry
00:20:21.640 working on
00:20:22.980 all cylinders,
00:20:24.100 we don't have
00:20:25.340 that substantial
00:20:26.260 revenue.
00:20:26.780 And it's certainly
00:20:27.980 not going to
00:20:28.540 come from
00:20:29.060 other,
00:20:30.180 you know,
00:20:31.020 things like
00:20:31.640 banking industry
00:20:33.300 or insurance.
00:20:34.340 I mean,
00:20:34.500 all those industries
00:20:35.300 run on oil,
00:20:37.120 gas,
00:20:37.520 and coal.
00:20:38.060 They all need
00:20:38.700 energy.
00:20:39.560 So it's crazy.
00:20:42.220 Anyhow,
00:20:42.800 in the interview,
00:20:44.980 Premier Smith
00:20:46.180 said,
00:20:47.080 you know,
00:20:47.340 she didn't trust
00:20:47.940 the modeling.
00:20:48.620 And of course,
00:20:49.180 Alberta has been
00:20:50.020 an oil and gas
00:20:50.740 producer for decades
00:20:51.780 now.
00:20:52.100 So we have
00:20:52.940 a lot of
00:20:53.400 very smart
00:20:53.860 people in
00:20:54.940 government and
00:20:55.520 industry who
00:20:56.300 know world
00:20:57.000 markets very
00:20:57.660 well,
00:20:58.240 far better
00:20:58.840 than the
00:20:59.820 people at
00:21:00.300 CBC or
00:21:01.480 the federal
00:21:02.080 government,
00:21:02.660 obviously.
00:21:03.800 So,
00:21:04.340 you know,
00:21:04.700 it's hard to
00:21:05.100 know,
00:21:05.400 is it an
00:21:05.920 internal trade
00:21:06.740 war where
00:21:07.500 actually the
00:21:09.240 eastern oil and
00:21:10.420 gas interests
00:21:11.120 are trying to
00:21:11.620 keep their
00:21:12.000 share of the
00:21:12.500 market because
00:21:13.140 they're not
00:21:13.620 suffering the
00:21:14.140 same kind of
00:21:14.680 blockadia that
00:21:15.980 we are in
00:21:16.560 the West.
00:21:17.660 And,
00:21:17.980 you know,
00:21:18.120 a lot of
00:21:18.740 the groups
00:21:20.900 like David
00:21:21.900 Suzuki
00:21:22.340 Foundation was
00:21:23.220 funded by
00:21:23.720 Power Corp
00:21:24.540 and Power
00:21:25.060 Corporation's
00:21:25.800 interests are
00:21:26.440 not in
00:21:26.800 Western Canada.
00:21:28.640 You know,
00:21:29.000 they're
00:21:29.220 international and
00:21:30.440 certainly very
00:21:31.480 deeply embedded
00:21:32.180 in China.
00:21:33.440 So,
00:21:34.660 you know,
00:21:35.600 let's just say
00:21:37.020 that I think
00:21:37.600 Premier Smith has
00:21:38.660 her head on
00:21:39.460 right and the
00:21:40.580 report by
00:21:41.120 Robert Lyman
00:21:41.740 called when
00:21:42.580 the facts
00:21:43.600 collide with
00:21:44.280 climate alarm
00:21:45.080 makes a lot
00:21:46.240 of sense.
00:21:46.860 So,
00:21:47.280 everyone should
00:21:47.780 read that.
00:21:48.400 I like how
00:21:51.740 CBC is
00:21:52.340 shocked that
00:21:53.000 the developing
00:21:53.600 world might
00:21:54.220 want the
00:21:54.640 same standard
00:21:55.220 of living
00:21:56.180 that the
00:21:56.840 rest of us
00:21:57.460 want.
00:21:58.700 They seemed
00:21:59.660 kind of
00:22:00.160 taken aback
00:22:00.980 by the fact
00:22:02.420 that they
00:22:02.700 might want
00:22:03.460 electricity
00:22:04.520 and autoclaves
00:22:06.620 in their
00:22:06.960 hospitals and
00:22:07.900 cars and,
00:22:09.120 you know,
00:22:10.640 public
00:22:10.960 transportation
00:22:11.720 and hospitals.
00:22:14.020 Public sanitation.
00:22:14.600 Water treatment.
00:22:15.720 Fresh water.
00:22:16.460 Yeah,
00:22:16.720 water treatment.
00:22:18.140 They seemed
00:22:18.920 really taken
00:22:19.500 aback by the
00:22:20.580 fact that the
00:22:21.080 developing world
00:22:21.760 might just
00:22:22.260 leapfrog over
00:22:23.260 those things
00:22:23.960 and just end
00:22:25.200 up with,
00:22:25.900 you know,
00:22:26.660 driving electric
00:22:27.740 cars in
00:22:29.600 their,
00:22:29.980 around their
00:22:30.220 15-minute
00:22:30.740 cities.
00:22:33.100 Now,
00:22:34.740 I think you
00:22:35.260 just briefly
00:22:36.060 touched on the
00:22:36.580 fact that the
00:22:37.260 OECD countries
00:22:38.640 seem to be
00:22:39.140 flatlining with
00:22:39.900 their oil and
00:22:40.380 gas use.
00:22:41.600 And I think
00:22:42.080 that is,
00:22:42.680 in part,
00:22:44.860 it has
00:22:45.240 something to
00:22:45.780 do with
00:22:46.200 the government's
00:22:46.960 mandating certain
00:22:49.200 lifestyle behaviors
00:22:50.960 for us that
00:22:51.900 drive up the
00:22:52.600 cost of living.
00:22:54.100 And I think
00:22:54.580 the banks are
00:22:55.380 propping that
00:22:55.980 up and the
00:22:56.640 insurance companies
00:22:57.500 are propping
00:22:58.160 that up.
00:22:58.900 And Mark
00:22:59.720 Carney,
00:23:00.360 the former
00:23:00.820 head of the
00:23:01.300 Bank of
00:23:01.680 Canada,
00:23:02.140 now the
00:23:02.560 climate czar
00:23:03.600 at the
00:23:04.000 United Nations
00:23:04.740 has a lot
00:23:05.240 to do with
00:23:05.720 that.
00:23:06.960 This seems
00:23:07.960 to be his
00:23:08.500 thing is
00:23:09.200 social license
00:23:10.820 in the
00:23:11.260 banking industry.
00:23:12.680 And I
00:23:13.040 find this
00:23:13.400 very chilling
00:23:14.000 because with
00:23:14.720 this push
00:23:15.240 for digital
00:23:15.780 currency and
00:23:17.100 the banks
00:23:17.560 adopting all
00:23:18.520 these climate
00:23:19.140 targets,
00:23:21.360 where does
00:23:22.300 that leave
00:23:23.180 us?
00:23:24.700 And then
00:23:25.400 you look at
00:23:26.200 that through
00:23:26.460 the lens
00:23:26.960 of what
00:23:28.020 happened with
00:23:28.580 the Freedom
00:23:28.920 Convoy where
00:23:29.560 you could just
00:23:29.960 have your
00:23:30.220 bank account
00:23:30.640 turned off
00:23:31.140 because of
00:23:31.680 your politics.
00:23:33.580 Where does
00:23:34.000 it leave
00:23:34.320 us?
00:23:35.260 Are we
00:23:35.920 marching
00:23:36.280 towards you
00:23:36.860 could have
00:23:37.120 your bank
00:23:37.420 account turned
00:23:37.920 off because
00:23:38.380 you drove
00:23:39.800 a little
00:23:41.140 too far
00:23:41.720 and ate
00:23:42.540 a little
00:23:42.800 too much
00:23:43.240 meat?
00:23:44.880 Yes,
00:23:45.500 I'm sure
00:23:46.120 that we
00:23:46.460 are marching
00:23:46.960 directly toward
00:23:47.740 that because
00:23:48.280 one of the
00:23:49.000 things that
00:23:49.660 Mark Carney
00:23:50.160 was interested
00:23:50.880 in implementing
00:23:52.960 for many years
00:23:53.840 now is the
00:23:54.560 digital currency.
00:23:56.360 And the
00:23:57.000 theory was
00:23:57.820 that somehow
00:23:58.260 this would
00:23:58.760 stop climate
00:23:59.520 change.
00:24:00.160 Now,
00:24:00.400 of course,
00:24:01.240 imagine that
00:24:02.560 there's some
00:24:03.200 massive
00:24:03.860 supercomputer
00:24:04.600 counting every
00:24:05.720 little thing
00:24:06.400 that you
00:24:06.800 and I
00:24:07.100 buy and
00:24:07.720 use every
00:24:08.720 place that
00:24:09.300 we go to
00:24:10.560 make sure
00:24:11.020 that we
00:24:11.420 have a
00:24:11.920 personal
00:24:12.320 carbon
00:24:12.840 ration that
00:24:14.420 is not
00:24:14.940 exceeded.
00:24:16.800 Well,
00:24:17.560 the only way
00:24:18.280 that it makes
00:24:18.860 sense to have
00:24:19.480 this huge
00:24:20.060 supercomputer
00:24:20.720 that's draining
00:24:22.320 all the
00:24:22.760 energy in
00:24:23.760 the world
00:24:24.360 to count
00:24:25.400 every carbon
00:24:26.100 molecule of
00:24:27.060 yours and
00:24:27.880 mine is
00:24:29.400 if they're
00:24:30.140 at the same
00:24:30.720 time limiting
00:24:31.660 every single
00:24:32.840 thing that you
00:24:33.760 use or
00:24:34.320 consume or
00:24:34.980 do.
00:24:36.240 So,
00:24:36.940 that is the
00:24:38.320 objective.
00:24:39.020 And I did
00:24:39.800 a presentation
00:24:40.680 for the
00:24:41.320 Alberta
00:24:41.600 Prosperity
00:24:42.300 Project a
00:24:43.120 few months
00:24:43.540 ago and it
00:24:44.360 was about
00:24:44.720 lockdowns.
00:24:47.000 And it's
00:24:47.300 interesting that
00:24:47.960 in 2020,
00:24:49.860 no,
00:24:50.300 sorry,
00:24:50.600 in 2016,
00:24:51.360 there was a
00:24:51.980 report written
00:24:52.620 called Deadline
00:24:53.520 2020.
00:24:54.660 In that report
00:24:55.880 for the major
00:24:57.000 cities,
00:24:57.740 they were
00:24:58.160 planning that
00:24:59.020 people should
00:24:59.620 only have
00:25:00.460 a 2.9
00:25:01.700 ton carbon
00:25:02.640 CO2
00:25:04.300 equivalent
00:25:05.020 carbon
00:25:05.760 footprint.
00:25:06.920 That's about
00:25:07.820 the level
00:25:09.000 of the
00:25:09.320 people who
00:25:09.740 live in
00:25:10.160 Cuba.
00:25:11.380 So,
00:25:11.620 in Canada,
00:25:12.500 we typically
00:25:13.440 have a
00:25:14.080 personal
00:25:14.420 carbon
00:25:14.980 footprint
00:25:15.520 of about
00:25:16.220 17,
00:25:17.660 16 tons.
00:25:19.260 So,
00:25:19.960 imagine
00:25:20.460 reducing
00:25:21.080 your
00:25:21.520 lifestyle,
00:25:23.020 your heating,
00:25:23.820 your food
00:25:24.240 consumption,
00:25:24.920 your travel
00:25:25.460 to 2.9
00:25:26.960 tons
00:25:27.700 CO2
00:25:28.580 equivalent
00:25:29.080 from
00:25:29.980 16 or
00:25:30.820 17.
00:25:31.240 17.
00:25:32.100 So,
00:25:32.820 you know,
00:25:33.180 that would
00:25:33.600 simply be
00:25:34.100 deadly for
00:25:34.740 us.
00:25:38.800 Well,
00:25:39.560 and to
00:25:40.900 think that
00:25:41.340 this is a
00:25:41.980 conspiracy
00:25:42.420 theory,
00:25:43.080 I mean,
00:25:43.960 it's really
00:25:44.540 not,
00:25:45.040 because this
00:25:45.700 is already
00:25:46.200 happening at
00:25:47.140 the industrial
00:25:48.120 level,
00:25:49.180 right?
00:25:49.440 they deny
00:25:51.680 financing
00:25:53.420 or insurance
00:25:54.400 to major
00:25:55.140 oil and gas
00:25:55.780 projects
00:25:56.280 because they
00:25:57.620 are not
00:25:58.080 complying
00:25:58.740 with whatever
00:26:00.680 the bank
00:26:01.200 has decided
00:26:01.860 the climate
00:26:02.420 targets are,
00:26:03.180 and those
00:26:03.420 seem to be
00:26:03.920 the ones
00:26:04.540 from the
00:26:05.520 UN.
00:26:05.980 So,
00:26:06.400 this is
00:26:06.840 already
00:26:07.120 happening
00:26:07.660 to big
00:26:09.220 corporations.
00:26:10.220 It's hard
00:26:10.520 to feel sorry
00:26:11.020 for big
00:26:11.420 corporations,
00:26:12.160 but I feel
00:26:12.560 sorry for
00:26:12.960 the people
00:26:13.320 who work
00:26:13.740 at those
00:26:14.020 big
00:26:14.240 corporations.
00:26:14.980 Those are
00:26:15.160 jobs,
00:26:15.700 those are
00:26:15.940 families,
00:26:16.700 and so
00:26:17.540 why wouldn't
00:26:18.140 they do
00:26:18.480 this to
00:26:18.960 us?
00:26:19.280 We're
00:26:19.520 the
00:26:19.740 little
00:26:19.980 guys.
00:26:21.500 Well,
00:26:22.080 and the
00:26:22.460 thing is,
00:26:22.860 with the
00:26:23.100 big
00:26:23.260 corporations,
00:26:24.160 as we
00:26:24.640 mentioned
00:26:24.960 before,
00:26:26.240 they can
00:26:27.020 either get
00:26:27.440 into the
00:26:27.840 carbon
00:26:28.120 trading
00:26:29.040 markets
00:26:29.660 and pretend
00:26:31.240 that they're
00:26:31.740 not emitting,
00:26:33.160 or they
00:26:34.000 can move
00:26:34.540 offshore,
00:26:35.180 which is
00:26:35.540 why there's
00:26:36.260 been a
00:26:36.560 decline in
00:26:37.160 energy use
00:26:37.900 in North
00:26:38.320 America
00:26:38.720 and in
00:26:40.680 the other
00:26:41.000 OECD
00:26:41.980 countries,
00:26:42.600 because any
00:26:43.200 energy-intensive
00:26:44.260 company has
00:26:45.680 left,
00:26:46.820 like steel
00:26:47.540 manufacturers
00:26:48.320 in
00:26:48.800 the UK
00:26:49.540 left for
00:26:50.200 India.
00:26:51.880 No-brainer.
00:26:53.400 And really,
00:26:54.560 I have to
00:26:54.960 say that
00:26:56.000 people keep
00:26:57.440 thinking that
00:26:58.100 this is all
00:26:58.820 about climate
00:26:59.300 change and
00:26:59.800 saving the
00:27:00.260 planet,
00:27:01.100 but actually
00:27:01.620 what if it
00:27:02.240 is part of
00:27:03.300 the Chinese
00:27:04.260 100-year
00:27:04.920 plan to
00:27:05.640 take over
00:27:06.120 the world
00:27:06.680 and we're
00:27:07.580 just playing
00:27:08.060 along with
00:27:08.660 it?
00:27:09.120 Can anyone
00:27:09.720 see it from
00:27:10.440 a geopolitical
00:27:11.320 point of
00:27:11.780 view that
00:27:12.860 if all
00:27:14.200 the Western
00:27:14.700 countries are
00:27:15.320 being gutted
00:27:16.960 and economically
00:27:17.800 damaged and
00:27:19.140 one country
00:27:20.100 in the
00:27:20.380 world has
00:27:21.760 a plan
00:27:22.260 called Made
00:27:22.960 in China
00:27:23.440 2025 and
00:27:25.800 it's a plan
00:27:26.760 that also
00:27:27.200 wants to
00:27:28.080 take over
00:27:31.380 all the
00:27:35.320 rare metals
00:27:36.040 of the world
00:27:37.360 and they're
00:27:37.920 already doing
00:27:38.660 this to
00:27:39.340 Europe.
00:27:40.000 They're already
00:27:40.520 using extortion
00:27:44.200 on Europe
00:27:44.800 with regard
00:27:45.860 to the
00:27:46.900 rare metals
00:27:48.900 that China
00:27:49.460 supplies to
00:27:50.280 Europe.
00:27:50.980 So that
00:27:51.880 will shut
00:27:52.380 down certain
00:27:53.060 forms of
00:27:53.580 manufacturing
00:27:54.220 there.
00:27:55.260 Why don't
00:27:56.020 we ever
00:27:56.480 look at
00:27:56.840 this from
00:27:57.240 a geopolitical
00:27:58.040 point of
00:27:58.480 view and
00:27:58.780 say,
00:27:59.080 hey,
00:27:59.940 you know
00:28:00.160 what,
00:28:00.360 maybe climate
00:28:00.900 change
00:28:01.280 actually is
00:28:01.880 an economic
00:28:02.880 trade war
00:28:03.500 against the
00:28:04.040 West.
00:28:04.940 Maybe we
00:28:05.660 should stop
00:28:06.460 playing this
00:28:07.340 game for a
00:28:07.960 while and
00:28:09.140 sort this out
00:28:10.080 first.
00:28:12.380 Yeah,
00:28:13.200 you know,
00:28:13.620 I'm glad you
00:28:14.260 mentioned that
00:28:14.720 because that's
00:28:15.280 sort of how I
00:28:16.400 look at the
00:28:18.360 climate change
00:28:19.200 agenda.
00:28:19.720 You look to
00:28:20.200 see who
00:28:20.660 benefits through
00:28:22.620 these policies
00:28:23.420 to see,
00:28:24.360 you know,
00:28:25.280 really what the
00:28:26.160 war is.
00:28:26.600 And I think
00:28:27.320 of climate
00:28:28.020 change as
00:28:28.500 just one
00:28:29.620 battleground
00:28:30.640 where we
00:28:32.680 don't even
00:28:33.000 realize we're
00:28:33.700 fighting China
00:28:34.560 for global
00:28:35.460 supremacy.
00:28:36.560 You know,
00:28:36.800 again, I'm
00:28:37.900 going to sound
00:28:38.280 conspiracy-minded,
00:28:39.060 but if you
00:28:39.500 look at
00:28:39.840 TikTok,
00:28:40.340 which is
00:28:40.640 a Chinese
00:28:41.080 app,
00:28:41.800 it seems
00:28:42.300 to be
00:28:42.580 rewiring
00:28:43.120 the brains
00:28:43.620 of our
00:28:43.820 young people
00:28:44.320 to make
00:28:44.700 them weaker,
00:28:45.400 stupider,
00:28:45.840 more woke,
00:28:46.600 and more
00:28:47.180 vulnerable.
00:28:49.020 And once
00:28:50.440 you look at,
00:28:51.100 you know,
00:28:51.380 social media,
00:28:53.120 climate change,
00:28:54.680 and the
00:28:55.040 economic,
00:28:56.100 really,
00:28:57.540 the takeover
00:28:58.420 of what China
00:28:59.060 is trying to
00:28:59.460 do to the
00:28:59.900 world,
00:29:00.860 they have a
00:29:01.820 hundred-year
00:29:02.220 plan.
00:29:02.780 They're fighting
00:29:03.140 a war that
00:29:03.660 we don't even
00:29:04.160 know we're in.
00:29:05.840 That's right.
00:29:06.580 And not only
00:29:07.180 that,
00:29:07.980 you know,
00:29:08.220 people have
00:29:08.640 to realize
00:29:09.160 that a lot
00:29:09.700 of money
00:29:10.120 from the
00:29:10.540 West is
00:29:11.120 sunk in
00:29:11.680 China,
00:29:12.020 so it's
00:29:13.560 stuck there.
00:29:14.360 So that's
00:29:14.720 a very big
00:29:15.280 lever.
00:29:16.260 You know,
00:29:16.640 Canada Pension
00:29:17.300 Plan was
00:29:18.020 financing coal
00:29:19.840 in China,
00:29:21.240 so I'm sure
00:29:22.100 all the Alberta
00:29:22.740 coal workers
00:29:23.460 who are on
00:29:24.020 the skids now
00:29:24.760 feel pretty
00:29:25.700 good about
00:29:26.160 that.
00:29:27.380 You know,
00:29:28.460 they're financing
00:29:29.280 apparently military
00:29:31.060 equipment in
00:29:32.620 China,
00:29:33.280 which will be
00:29:34.240 used against
00:29:34.940 us.
00:29:35.240 There's
00:29:36.240 another book
00:29:36.760 about China's
00:29:38.040 domination of
00:29:39.020 the pharmaceuticals
00:29:40.180 of the world
00:29:41.060 and how they
00:29:41.760 very cleverly,
00:29:42.860 you know,
00:29:43.420 entered the
00:29:43.860 markets,
00:29:45.100 had a lower
00:29:45.920 priced product,
00:29:47.540 ran people out
00:29:48.840 of business in
00:29:49.560 Europe and the
00:29:50.100 U.S.,
00:29:50.800 and created
00:29:51.720 market dominance
00:29:52.620 for themselves.
00:29:53.580 Well,
00:29:53.820 now if you
00:29:54.420 need pharmaceuticals
00:29:55.680 and they're all
00:29:56.180 in China's hands
00:29:57.180 and a conflict
00:29:58.320 breaks out between
00:29:59.200 the U.S.
00:29:59.780 and China,
00:30:01.060 you know,
00:30:03.000 they're going to
00:30:03.720 have a very
00:30:04.420 strong lever
00:30:05.120 on the
00:30:06.200 entire health
00:30:07.600 of all the
00:30:08.880 people in
00:30:09.320 the OECD
00:30:10.040 nations.
00:30:12.060 So,
00:30:12.680 you know,
00:30:12.940 they've been
00:30:13.400 very clever
00:30:14.140 in their
00:30:15.000 strategies.
00:30:15.920 I don't
00:30:16.360 condone it,
00:30:17.540 but,
00:30:18.040 you know,
00:30:18.440 you have to
00:30:18.940 hand it to
00:30:19.440 them that
00:30:19.760 they've been
00:30:20.140 thinking ahead
00:30:20.940 and we
00:30:21.720 haven't been
00:30:22.120 thinking at
00:30:22.620 all.
00:30:24.780 Yeah,
00:30:25.360 so,
00:30:25.840 you know,
00:30:26.680 and oddly,
00:30:27.720 as you mentioned
00:30:28.480 about the
00:30:28.840 banks,
00:30:29.320 you know,
00:30:30.000 Bank of
00:30:30.400 Canada is
00:30:31.040 playing along
00:30:31.640 with all
00:30:32.060 this.
00:30:32.360 They just
00:30:32.640 recently issued
00:30:33.540 a climate
00:30:34.420 risk assessment
00:30:35.400 and I
00:30:38.720 did a video
00:30:39.340 about it.
00:30:40.160 You know,
00:30:40.420 it's a
00:30:40.960 ludicrous
00:30:41.580 document.
00:30:42.640 They have a
00:30:43.040 whole bevy of
00:30:44.100 people working
00:30:44.740 on climate
00:30:45.260 risk assessments
00:30:46.120 all the time
00:30:46.960 and they're
00:30:47.800 using an
00:30:48.380 implausible
00:30:49.040 model basis,
00:30:50.460 RCP 8.5.
00:30:53.120 And a woman
00:30:53.580 named Professor
00:30:55.060 Jessica Winkle
00:30:56.080 testified to the
00:30:57.440 U.S.
00:30:58.320 Senate recently.
00:31:00.920 it was this
00:31:01.580 spring,
00:31:02.000 I don't
00:31:02.180 exactly remember,
00:31:03.120 maybe March,
00:31:04.220 that all
00:31:04.960 of the
00:31:05.280 basis for
00:31:06.680 climate change
00:31:07.620 modeling is
00:31:09.400 conflicted.
00:31:10.580 So you
00:31:10.880 have consulting
00:31:13.120 firms hiring
00:31:14.460 IPCC lead
00:31:16.320 modelers to
00:31:18.140 concoct models
00:31:20.320 that support
00:31:21.380 the conclusions
00:31:22.300 of the
00:31:23.800 consulting firm.
00:31:25.900 And in many
00:31:26.540 cases, the
00:31:27.100 firm is
00:31:27.660 McKinsey,
00:31:28.780 the world's
00:31:29.480 largest management
00:31:30.500 firm.
00:31:31.420 So, you
00:31:32.620 know, and
00:31:33.400 if we
00:31:33.740 recall, who
00:31:34.380 did we have
00:31:35.020 consulting in
00:31:35.820 Canada?
00:31:36.640 Dominique
00:31:37.160 Barton of
00:31:38.320 McKinsey, who
00:31:39.400 was working
00:31:39.920 for $1 a
00:31:40.900 year for the
00:31:41.760 Canadian
00:31:42.080 government,
00:31:42.660 giving them
00:31:43.040 advice on
00:31:44.180 how to
00:31:44.520 proceed for
00:31:45.140 a new
00:31:46.120 clean economy.
00:31:47.720 I wonder
00:31:48.100 who that
00:31:48.480 benefited.
00:31:51.040 Well,
00:31:51.780 nobody works
00:31:53.040 for $1 a
00:31:53.660 year.
00:31:54.480 Nobody.
00:31:55.300 So there
00:31:56.180 was payment
00:31:56.620 in kind
00:31:57.260 somewhere else,
00:31:58.080 that's for
00:31:58.720 sure.
00:31:59.020 Now, one
00:32:00.900 of the
00:32:01.140 things, let's
00:32:02.380 just change
00:32:02.780 lanes away
00:32:03.200 from climate
00:32:03.560 change really
00:32:04.040 fast.
00:32:05.460 One of the
00:32:06.240 things that
00:32:06.980 you've been
00:32:07.720 focused on
00:32:08.600 is getting
00:32:09.340 to the
00:32:10.080 truth of
00:32:11.200 the mass
00:32:14.440 graves, which
00:32:16.760 are not mass
00:32:17.520 graves at all
00:32:18.280 in many
00:32:19.000 instances here
00:32:20.220 in Canada.
00:32:20.760 Canada, and
00:32:21.840 it's difficult
00:32:24.880 work to do
00:32:26.080 because you're
00:32:26.820 digging through
00:32:27.900 history, but
00:32:29.280 you're also
00:32:29.740 fighting censorship.
00:32:31.640 And, you
00:32:32.720 know, we've
00:32:33.380 heard musings
00:32:35.420 that you
00:32:36.180 should make
00:32:36.680 genocide
00:32:37.260 denialism
00:32:38.240 illegal in
00:32:40.860 Canada.
00:32:42.060 Tell us about
00:32:43.080 some of your
00:32:43.560 work to get
00:32:45.100 to the truth
00:32:46.060 about what
00:32:46.660 happened at
00:32:47.320 residential
00:32:47.780 schools here in
00:32:48.720 Canada.
00:32:49.040 Well, first
00:32:51.720 of all, I
00:32:52.060 just want to
00:32:52.440 mention this
00:32:52.940 is a personal
00:32:53.760 project of
00:32:54.380 mine, so
00:32:55.000 I worked
00:32:59.160 with Dr.
00:33:00.140 Hugh Dempsey
00:33:00.740 on many
00:33:01.980 documentaries
00:33:02.700 back in the
00:33:03.460 1980s.
00:33:04.600 I spent about
00:33:05.260 a decade of
00:33:06.000 my life in
00:33:06.700 and out of
00:33:07.080 the Glenbow
00:33:07.580 Museum archives.
00:33:08.820 I interviewed
00:33:11.020 hundreds of
00:33:12.060 southern Alberta
00:33:12.800 pioneers,
00:33:13.800 historians, and
00:33:15.620 descendants of
00:33:17.020 the early
00:33:18.200 pioneers and
00:33:20.980 people who
00:33:21.740 signed treaties.
00:33:23.400 So, in my
00:33:25.200 view, there was
00:33:25.960 no genocide in
00:33:27.300 Alberta.
00:33:27.900 If anything, the
00:33:29.080 Mounties came
00:33:29.940 west and
00:33:30.520 stopped the
00:33:31.900 massacre of
00:33:33.640 the Blackfoot
00:33:34.420 nation, which
00:33:35.240 was going on by
00:33:36.200 the whiskey
00:33:37.020 traders who
00:33:38.300 really didn't
00:33:38.760 care about
00:33:39.680 anybody.
00:33:40.900 They were
00:33:41.460 feeding them
00:33:42.080 this horrible
00:33:42.880 mixture of
00:33:43.840 strychnine and
00:33:44.940 whiskey and
00:33:45.760 old tea.
00:33:47.940 You know, they
00:33:48.340 were killing
00:33:48.820 people, they
00:33:49.540 were raping and
00:33:51.200 pillaging,
00:33:51.760 literally.
00:33:52.780 The Assiniboine
00:33:53.560 tribe was
00:33:54.380 slaughtered prior
00:33:55.780 to the arrival
00:33:56.880 of the
00:33:57.280 Mounties in the
00:33:59.000 Cypress Hills by
00:34:00.320 the Bentham
00:34:00.940 Gang, which
00:34:01.540 came over the
00:34:02.140 border out of
00:34:02.900 the United
00:34:03.400 States.
00:34:03.900 So, what
00:34:04.860 people don't
00:34:05.340 realize is,
00:34:06.500 you know, the
00:34:06.820 U.S. was
00:34:07.520 running Indian
00:34:08.780 wars from
00:34:09.400 1622 to
00:34:10.720 1924.
00:34:12.580 The cavalry
00:34:13.680 was actively
00:34:14.600 pursuing Indian
00:34:16.580 bands in the
00:34:17.980 United States,
00:34:19.980 corralling them
00:34:20.720 and murdering
00:34:21.540 them.
00:34:21.820 That never
00:34:22.300 happened in
00:34:22.860 Canada.
00:34:23.380 That was not
00:34:24.080 the interaction
00:34:25.820 between First
00:34:26.520 Nations people
00:34:27.300 and the
00:34:28.120 traders in
00:34:28.760 Canada.
00:34:29.200 It was
00:34:29.440 always an
00:34:29.940 economic,
00:34:31.380 convivial
00:34:32.620 kind of
00:34:33.380 arrangement.
00:34:34.920 So, you
00:34:35.780 know, we
00:34:36.000 had about
00:34:36.360 300 years
00:34:37.240 here of,
00:34:38.700 if not
00:34:39.120 more, of
00:34:40.580 mutually
00:34:42.560 beneficial
00:34:43.320 trade.
00:34:44.460 And then
00:34:44.960 upon that,
00:34:45.620 the treaties
00:34:46.060 were built.
00:34:47.620 So, I
00:34:48.880 think that
00:34:49.340 the problem
00:34:50.900 is that
00:34:51.480 in many
00:34:53.860 First Nations
00:34:54.980 communities,
00:34:55.580 there were
00:34:56.880 a lot of
00:34:57.400 people who
00:34:57.940 died of
00:34:58.740 TB.
00:35:00.340 Or,
00:35:01.160 once the
00:35:02.380 family died
00:35:03.160 of TB,
00:35:03.880 the children
00:35:04.380 were sent
00:35:05.900 to a
00:35:06.440 residential
00:35:06.880 school for
00:35:07.540 care.
00:35:08.000 They basically
00:35:08.500 became
00:35:09.020 orphanages.
00:35:11.040 So, if
00:35:12.720 you look at
00:35:13.180 it from
00:35:13.460 that community's
00:35:14.360 perspective,
00:35:15.460 those people
00:35:16.040 were missing.
00:35:17.460 They disappeared.
00:35:18.720 The place
00:35:19.140 they went
00:35:19.700 was to a
00:35:20.920 residential
00:35:21.320 school.
00:35:22.480 So, and
00:35:23.680 they would
00:35:23.940 have no
00:35:24.280 reason to
00:35:24.740 come back
00:35:25.340 because there
00:35:26.340 was no
00:35:26.660 family left.
00:35:27.680 They were
00:35:27.960 orphaned.
00:35:28.680 But over
00:35:30.740 time, that
00:35:32.140 element of
00:35:32.900 fact would
00:35:33.660 become lost,
00:35:35.740 especially if
00:35:37.360 the family
00:35:38.200 was not
00:35:38.880 buried with
00:35:39.520 a headstone
00:35:40.180 on reserve
00:35:41.180 and if no
00:35:42.480 one was there
00:35:42.960 to care for
00:35:43.600 it.
00:35:44.240 These are
00:35:44.760 very, very
00:35:45.300 difficult times.
00:35:46.400 These were
00:35:46.680 times when
00:35:47.200 everyone was
00:35:47.780 extremely poor.
00:35:49.100 So, I think
00:35:49.460 this is where
00:35:49.980 the impression
00:35:51.440 that there
00:35:51.840 were thousands
00:35:52.360 of missing
00:35:53.120 and buried
00:35:55.020 children who
00:35:56.100 have no
00:35:58.180 documentation
00:36:00.800 comes from
00:36:01.900 because for
00:36:02.720 people living
00:36:03.440 on reserve
00:36:04.840 or in a
00:36:05.540 community, of
00:36:06.580 course, there
00:36:06.960 are these
00:36:07.300 people who
00:36:07.780 vanished.
00:36:08.940 But if you
00:36:09.880 look into
00:36:10.320 the archival
00:36:11.000 records, you
00:36:12.380 find that
00:36:13.160 there is
00:36:14.360 very good
00:36:15.200 documentation of
00:36:16.420 who the
00:36:16.880 person was
00:36:17.680 and yes, they
00:36:18.720 were given a
00:36:19.400 number, yes,
00:36:20.660 but that's so
00:36:21.420 that all of
00:36:22.400 their laundry
00:36:23.040 could be done
00:36:23.960 and tracked
00:36:24.560 and all of
00:36:25.140 their documents
00:36:25.800 could be done
00:36:26.420 and tracked.
00:36:27.000 It's just the
00:36:27.460 file number.
00:36:28.180 It's not like
00:36:28.640 at Auschwitz.
00:36:29.400 It was never
00:36:30.000 tattooed on
00:36:30.840 anyone's arm.
00:36:32.800 But you find
00:36:33.740 that the
00:36:34.060 documentation is
00:36:34.960 very good.
00:36:36.200 You know
00:36:36.780 the person's
00:36:37.680 name, their
00:36:38.720 family name,
00:36:40.320 their age.
00:36:41.600 A lot of
00:36:42.040 the children
00:36:42.440 who came into
00:36:43.120 care came in
00:36:43.840 at age four,
00:36:45.260 five, six.
00:36:46.320 This is all
00:36:46.960 under age,
00:36:47.840 according to
00:36:48.340 the government
00:36:48.800 regulation.
00:36:49.960 The only way
00:36:50.680 they would come
00:36:51.320 into that care
00:36:52.080 is if they
00:36:52.680 were orphaned,
00:36:53.880 destitute,
00:36:54.560 or the
00:36:55.920 family requested
00:36:56.900 aid or the
00:36:57.700 Indian agent
00:36:58.480 requested aid
00:36:59.540 if the family
00:37:00.580 say was
00:37:01.100 dysfunctional to
00:37:02.140 save the life
00:37:02.700 of the child.
00:37:03.940 So then you
00:37:05.740 have medical
00:37:06.700 records for
00:37:07.620 the child
00:37:08.080 entering as
00:37:08.780 well.
00:37:09.300 They were
00:37:09.600 examined before
00:37:10.600 being entered
00:37:11.420 into the
00:37:11.920 school to see
00:37:13.260 whether or not
00:37:13.780 they had TB.
00:37:14.620 That was a
00:37:15.000 main thing to
00:37:15.580 look for.
00:37:16.040 and if they
00:37:18.740 needed any
00:37:19.260 kind of
00:37:19.600 medical
00:37:19.900 treatment.
00:37:21.040 And then
00:37:21.400 if sadly
00:37:22.560 the child
00:37:23.100 died, there
00:37:23.740 is a death
00:37:24.220 certificate.
00:37:25.020 If they
00:37:25.260 died at the
00:37:25.820 school, there
00:37:26.260 was an
00:37:26.540 inquiry.
00:37:28.980 Statements
00:37:29.420 were issued
00:37:29.880 to the
00:37:30.280 parents.
00:37:31.520 And it
00:37:31.740 may be that
00:37:32.320 in some
00:37:32.720 instances,
00:37:33.240 people did
00:37:34.120 not get the
00:37:34.940 message in a
00:37:35.660 timely way.
00:37:36.560 Because some
00:37:37.660 of the parents
00:37:38.320 had their
00:37:39.520 children intentionally
00:37:40.420 put into
00:37:41.380 residential
00:37:41.980 schools because
00:37:43.060 they're working
00:37:43.540 on a trap
00:37:44.260 line.
00:37:45.040 They're going
00:37:45.420 out hunting.
00:37:46.320 That was
00:37:46.720 their occupation.
00:37:48.380 So it's much
00:37:49.220 easier if your
00:37:49.960 children are
00:37:50.560 cared for and
00:37:51.880 you're out in
00:37:52.260 the bush.
00:37:53.360 I mean,
00:37:53.860 there's a
00:37:54.520 really sad
00:37:55.420 story.
00:37:56.540 I don't know
00:37:56.900 if I can
00:37:57.240 find it off
00:37:58.060 the cuff.
00:37:59.280 There's a
00:37:59.780 very sad
00:38:00.320 story here
00:38:01.020 in Eric
00:38:02.080 Bay's book
00:38:02.780 where he
00:38:03.980 talks about
00:38:04.740 this is up
00:38:05.980 at Moose
00:38:06.780 Factory.
00:38:08.120 And he
00:38:08.360 said a
00:38:09.100 father had
00:38:12.280 come to the
00:38:12.780 post at
00:38:13.280 Albany to
00:38:13.900 report there
00:38:14.440 was no
00:38:14.820 food in
00:38:15.260 the tent.
00:38:16.180 His wife
00:38:16.640 was ill.
00:38:17.400 While at
00:38:17.760 the post,
00:38:18.640 he took
00:38:19.060 ill and
00:38:19.620 he died.
00:38:20.720 So the
00:38:21.120 Hudson Bay
00:38:21.640 Company
00:38:22.060 manager sent
00:38:23.000 out a
00:38:23.300 couple of
00:38:23.640 men with
00:38:24.120 grub.
00:38:24.980 And when
00:38:25.280 they got
00:38:25.600 to the
00:38:25.920 tent,
00:38:26.860 the mother
00:38:27.260 was dead
00:38:27.900 with five
00:38:28.680 children around
00:38:29.920 her.
00:38:30.620 The youngest
00:38:31.140 was a
00:38:31.620 babe of
00:38:32.000 two months,
00:38:33.020 was taken
00:38:33.500 in by a
00:38:34.060 relative.
00:38:34.780 The eldest
00:38:35.200 was a
00:38:35.700 boy of
00:38:36.000 16.
00:38:36.900 He went
00:38:37.320 with another
00:38:37.840 relative to
00:38:38.520 hunt.
00:38:39.180 And the
00:38:39.440 other three
00:38:39.900 children came
00:38:40.580 to the
00:38:40.900 school.
00:38:41.660 The youngest
00:38:42.060 of the
00:38:42.480 three died
00:38:43.360 while at
00:38:43.900 school during
00:38:44.560 a flu
00:38:44.940 epidemic.
00:38:46.420 So, you
00:38:47.140 know, imagine
00:38:47.700 that.
00:38:48.120 This is a
00:38:48.880 story that
00:38:49.340 happened more
00:38:49.920 than once.
00:38:50.540 But all
00:38:52.760 of those
00:38:53.100 people were
00:38:54.040 now missing,
00:38:55.000 right?
00:38:55.240 In the
00:38:55.520 minds of
00:38:55.920 the community,
00:38:56.500 they're missing.
00:38:57.240 We don't
00:38:57.540 even know
00:38:58.120 if that
00:38:58.980 orphaned
00:38:59.440 baby grew
00:38:59.980 up knowing
00:39:00.500 that its
00:39:02.500 own mother
00:39:02.980 had died.
00:39:04.960 You know,
00:39:05.300 so we
00:39:07.320 don't know
00:39:07.700 how the
00:39:08.120 son, the
00:39:08.740 16-year-old
00:39:09.380 son, how
00:39:09.880 would he
00:39:10.240 remember that?
00:39:11.220 He would
00:39:11.560 remember that
00:39:12.120 his siblings
00:39:12.600 went to
00:39:13.320 residential
00:39:13.920 school and
00:39:14.500 never came
00:39:15.000 home.
00:39:15.240 So, you
00:39:18.040 know, it's
00:39:18.280 a very
00:39:18.580 complex
00:39:19.280 history that
00:39:21.120 we have
00:39:21.660 and it's
00:39:22.920 being swept
00:39:24.820 away with
00:39:25.580 the theme
00:39:26.000 of genocide
00:39:26.700 as if all
00:39:28.660 of these
00:39:29.820 people who
00:39:31.680 died were
00:39:32.260 intentionally
00:39:32.800 murdered.
00:39:34.160 And that's
00:39:34.960 really the
00:39:35.440 fundamental thing
00:39:36.280 about genocide.
00:39:36.920 There has to
00:39:37.540 be an intent
00:39:38.400 to wipe out
00:39:39.840 a population.
00:39:41.100 Well, why
00:39:43.180 would you
00:39:43.460 build a
00:39:43.800 residential
00:39:44.260 school and
00:39:44.940 staff it
00:39:45.520 and bring
00:39:45.940 food and
00:39:47.600 organize
00:39:48.600 events for
00:39:50.140 hundreds,
00:39:51.080 thousands,
00:39:51.580 150,000
00:39:52.640 children?
00:39:53.420 Why would
00:39:53.840 you do
00:39:54.120 that if
00:39:54.900 your intention
00:39:55.380 was to
00:39:55.840 wipe them
00:39:56.200 out?
00:39:59.500 Yeah, it's
00:40:00.300 all portrayed
00:40:00.980 very black
00:40:01.820 and white
00:40:02.360 in all of
00:40:04.180 this, that
00:40:05.320 this was
00:40:06.620 entirely bad
00:40:07.740 and there
00:40:08.480 was no
00:40:08.980 good.
00:40:10.140 There weren't
00:40:10.960 people with
00:40:11.660 good intentions
00:40:12.520 and all of
00:40:13.180 this and
00:40:14.260 it is as
00:40:15.460 woke watch
00:40:18.820 Canada writes
00:40:19.680 quite likely
00:40:21.460 will lead to
00:40:22.380 a balkanization
00:40:23.260 of Canada
00:40:23.740 and we've
00:40:24.100 seen this.
00:40:24.580 I mean,
00:40:24.840 it's becoming
00:40:26.160 like this
00:40:27.560 every Canada
00:40:28.460 Day where
00:40:29.920 now you
00:40:31.000 can't celebrate
00:40:31.900 Canada Day
00:40:32.680 because of the
00:40:33.400 history of
00:40:34.040 residential
00:40:34.540 schools.
00:40:35.720 There's a
00:40:36.120 push for
00:40:37.780 reparations
00:40:39.960 funds to
00:40:40.400 be paid
00:40:41.000 now to
00:40:42.440 survivors of
00:40:43.660 residential
00:40:44.100 schools, but
00:40:44.620 not just
00:40:44.960 survivors,
00:40:45.800 families,
00:40:46.440 communities,
00:40:47.040 people who
00:40:47.440 are by
00:40:48.380 and large
00:40:48.740 not even
00:40:49.980 affected by
00:40:51.460 residential
00:40:52.040 schools.
00:40:53.740 And it
00:40:54.520 just, I
00:40:56.160 am concerned
00:40:56.760 that it will
00:40:57.220 fracture our
00:40:57.940 country in a
00:40:58.500 way that I
00:40:59.940 think is both
00:41:00.480 unfair and
00:41:01.120 possibly
00:41:01.540 irreparable.
00:41:02.120 I think
00:41:04.580 that you're
00:41:05.160 right.
00:41:05.620 I think
00:41:05.900 that real
00:41:06.620 possibility
00:41:07.240 exists and
00:41:08.880 I think
00:41:09.740 there's two
00:41:10.440 things that
00:41:11.180 people should
00:41:11.840 create.
00:41:14.620 One is
00:41:15.620 this just
00:41:16.480 came out
00:41:17.060 on June
00:41:17.840 the 20th
00:41:18.580 and it's
00:41:19.740 the Justice
00:41:20.500 Department's
00:41:21.560 action plan
00:41:23.020 for the
00:41:24.620 United Nations
00:41:25.880 Declaration on
00:41:27.140 the Rights of
00:41:27.640 Indigenous
00:41:27.980 People to
00:41:29.280 implement this
00:41:30.220 Act.
00:41:31.620 And basically
00:41:32.840 it requires
00:41:34.600 that everything
00:41:35.220 in Canada
00:41:35.860 now be
00:41:36.520 aligned with
00:41:37.580 UNDRIP as
00:41:38.500 it's nicknamed
00:41:39.300 and be
00:41:42.660 Indigenous
00:41:43.220 led.
00:41:45.200 And the
00:41:45.880 other thing
00:41:46.220 people should
00:41:46.760 know is
00:41:47.480 that this
00:41:49.240 is from the
00:41:49.720 Fraser Institute
00:41:50.480 by Dr.
00:41:51.460 Tom Flanagan
00:41:52.260 that the
00:41:53.180 reparations or
00:41:54.160 compensation now
00:41:55.180 being planned
00:41:55.940 is in the
00:41:56.940 order of
00:41:57.360 60 billion
00:41:58.480 dollars.
00:41:59.080 So, you
00:42:01.100 know, people
00:42:02.260 are being
00:42:03.340 recognized for
00:42:04.540 their statements
00:42:05.660 of claim.
00:42:06.980 However, people
00:42:07.920 should also know
00:42:08.720 that none of
00:42:09.600 the recollections
00:42:10.820 which are
00:42:11.300 written in the
00:42:12.040 Truth and
00:42:12.440 Reconciliation
00:42:13.060 Reports were
00:42:15.360 ever cross
00:42:15.940 examined.
00:42:16.800 These are
00:42:17.240 statements from
00:42:17.940 people who
00:42:19.780 in some cases
00:42:20.780 stand to gain
00:42:22.020 $125,000
00:42:23.820 in compensation.
00:42:25.860 So, never
00:42:28.440 subjected to
00:42:29.220 cross
00:42:29.640 examination, no
00:42:31.440 evidence per
00:42:32.500 se was
00:42:32.980 required.
00:42:34.420 So, you
00:42:35.260 know, it's
00:42:35.580 problematic
00:42:36.040 because the
00:42:37.200 entire country
00:42:38.020 is being made
00:42:38.760 to feel guilty
00:42:39.920 of genocide
00:42:41.320 when there's
00:42:42.760 no evidence
00:42:43.600 of genocide.
00:42:45.800 When, as
00:42:47.480 Terry Glavin
00:42:48.240 wrote in one
00:42:48.940 of his
00:42:49.260 articles, The
00:42:50.060 Year of the
00:42:50.680 Graves, he
00:42:51.380 wrote that
00:42:51.840 most of the
00:42:52.640 claimed mass
00:42:54.220 grave sites or
00:42:55.280 unmarked grave
00:42:56.040 sites were
00:42:57.000 grave sites
00:42:57.620 that were
00:42:58.000 already well
00:42:58.820 known to
00:43:00.040 the local
00:43:00.600 First Nations
00:43:01.260 communities.
00:43:02.540 So, you
00:43:03.240 know, all
00:43:03.580 of a sudden
00:43:04.000 they all
00:43:04.420 started popping
00:43:05.000 up in the
00:43:05.500 news as if
00:43:06.320 no one ever
00:43:07.200 knew there
00:43:07.520 was a graveyard
00:43:08.080 there or
00:43:09.220 that there
00:43:09.600 were unmarked
00:43:10.240 graves.
00:43:11.920 Well, yeah,
00:43:12.900 everyone knew.
00:43:14.020 So, why did
00:43:15.200 it become a
00:43:15.820 media phenomenon?
00:43:16.980 You know, what
00:43:17.460 is the end
00:43:18.720 goal here?
00:43:19.520 And I think
00:43:20.560 one of the
00:43:21.060 end goals
00:43:21.660 actually does
00:43:22.720 go back to
00:43:23.300 the climate
00:43:23.680 change issue
00:43:24.320 and that's
00:43:25.020 nature-based
00:43:26.240 solutions.
00:43:27.860 So, excuse
00:43:29.480 me, just let
00:43:30.100 me get a
00:43:30.480 drink here.
00:43:35.400 The whole
00:43:36.140 nature-based
00:43:36.720 solutions thing
00:43:37.660 is the idea
00:43:39.000 of, again,
00:43:39.700 selling carbon
00:43:40.400 credits on
00:43:41.220 pristine,
00:43:41.940 untouched
00:43:42.380 forestry,
00:43:43.300 water, blue
00:43:44.340 carbon, wetlands,
00:43:46.720 and supposedly
00:43:49.000 that all the
00:43:49.860 young people,
00:43:50.720 rather than
00:43:51.180 becoming doctors
00:43:52.560 and scientists
00:43:53.300 and astronauts
00:43:54.300 would go
00:43:55.140 back to
00:43:55.540 being land
00:43:57.320 keepers,
00:43:58.020 land
00:43:58.260 guardians,
00:43:59.040 water
00:43:59.320 guardians,
00:44:00.240 fire
00:44:01.600 watchers,
00:44:02.960 you know,
00:44:03.280 in sort
00:44:03.760 of a
00:44:04.060 quasi-traditional
00:44:05.440 knowledge-keeper
00:44:07.580 way.
00:44:08.680 Now, of
00:44:09.620 course, there
00:44:10.220 are some
00:44:10.880 traditional
00:44:11.820 knowledge
00:44:12.600 aspects that
00:44:14.020 are important
00:44:14.740 to communities,
00:44:16.220 they're important
00:44:16.940 to development,
00:44:18.100 and they should
00:44:18.760 be respected,
00:44:19.440 but, you
00:44:20.760 know, we're
00:44:21.380 basically creating
00:44:22.420 an apartheid
00:44:23.200 situation with
00:44:24.280 this document
00:44:26.100 that is more
00:44:28.060 or less kind
00:44:28.640 of the Garden
00:44:29.360 of Eden,
00:44:30.240 noble,
00:44:30.840 savage view
00:44:32.020 of Indigenous
00:44:33.260 people.
00:44:34.500 When, you
00:44:35.400 know, if you
00:44:35.720 look at the
00:44:36.100 residential school
00:44:36.940 history, you
00:44:37.680 find that the
00:44:40.200 residential schools
00:44:41.140 were turning out
00:44:41.840 successful farmers,
00:44:43.500 successful ranchers,
00:44:46.120 successful managers,
00:44:47.260 authors, artists,
00:44:49.520 nurses, you
00:44:51.900 know, there's a
00:44:53.600 whole record of
00:44:55.120 people who came
00:44:55.940 out of Indian
00:44:56.700 residential schools
00:44:57.740 who are very,
00:44:58.520 very competent,
00:45:00.200 and actually many
00:45:01.700 of the leading
00:45:03.040 figures, even in
00:45:05.100 the reconciliation
00:45:05.760 thing, are people
00:45:07.520 who graduated from
00:45:08.860 residential school,
00:45:10.520 and, you know,
00:45:11.260 if you look and
00:45:12.300 you see most of
00:45:14.440 the population of
00:45:15.740 Indigenous people in
00:45:16.740 Canada can speak
00:45:17.720 English to one
00:45:18.580 degree or another,
00:45:19.880 often very good.
00:45:21.380 Well, that's a
00:45:22.080 product of schooling
00:45:23.720 and enculturation.
00:45:25.720 So, you know,
00:45:27.440 it's not like people
00:45:28.160 didn't get some
00:45:29.220 kind of a benefit.
00:45:30.520 Anyway, if we
00:45:31.640 have 632
00:45:32.500 and, I think,
00:45:33.960 32 distinct
00:45:35.880 bands in Canada
00:45:37.060 and over 50
00:45:41.380 languages,
00:45:42.720 if this is going
00:45:44.960 to lead the
00:45:45.860 country,
00:45:46.940 then we are
00:45:48.020 definitely going
00:45:48.760 to be
00:45:49.120 balkanized.
00:45:52.520 And I don't
00:45:53.400 want to gloss
00:45:53.840 over the fact
00:45:54.800 that there
00:45:55.760 were problems
00:45:56.920 with residential
00:45:58.320 schools.
00:45:58.980 Some people
00:45:59.620 did some
00:46:00.480 terrible things,
00:46:01.900 but I don't
00:46:02.500 believe in
00:46:03.000 collective guilt.
00:46:04.220 If there are
00:46:05.280 people who
00:46:06.440 must be held
00:46:07.420 responsible,
00:46:08.520 even posthumously,
00:46:09.980 let's do that.
00:46:11.400 But we can't
00:46:12.400 do that without
00:46:13.080 a real
00:46:13.920 fulsome
00:46:14.720 examination of
00:46:16.200 what really
00:46:17.180 happened at
00:46:18.780 these residential
00:46:19.580 schools.
00:46:20.400 And we've
00:46:20.860 never done
00:46:21.360 that.
00:46:22.040 And the
00:46:22.580 resistance is
00:46:23.320 not coming
00:46:23.880 from outside,
00:46:25.740 it's coming
00:46:26.320 from within.
00:46:27.700 And I'm very
00:46:28.960 curious as to
00:46:29.860 why that might
00:46:30.440 be.
00:46:30.760 For example,
00:46:31.380 at the Kamloops
00:46:32.260 Indian Residential
00:46:33.200 School, there
00:46:34.280 has been no
00:46:35.160 excavation there.
00:46:36.500 And they're
00:46:36.900 telling me this
00:46:37.520 is the site of
00:46:38.360 a major genocide.
00:46:39.300 If that's a
00:46:41.200 crime scene, I
00:46:43.160 want it
00:46:43.680 investigated, and
00:46:45.280 I want the
00:46:45.720 people responsible
00:46:46.580 to be named
00:46:47.620 for eternity.
00:46:50.380 But we're not
00:46:51.140 doing that.
00:46:52.020 And to say that
00:46:52.860 there are no
00:46:53.320 organizations capable
00:46:54.540 of doing the
00:46:55.120 heavy lifting
00:46:55.640 there, you know
00:46:56.180 what?
00:46:56.480 The United
00:46:56.980 Nations, for
00:46:58.080 all of its
00:46:58.540 flaws, does a
00:46:59.240 pretty good job
00:46:59.800 investigating
00:47:00.360 genocide.
00:47:01.800 And why
00:47:02.860 haven't they
00:47:03.360 been called
00:47:03.800 in?
00:47:03.980 Why hasn't
00:47:04.460 anybody been
00:47:05.140 called in to
00:47:06.020 deal with
00:47:06.420 this?
00:47:07.460 Well, actually,
00:47:08.300 Francisco, no,
00:47:12.380 Jose Francisco
00:47:13.380 Calice, who
00:47:15.640 is the UN
00:47:16.980 Special
00:47:18.420 Rapporteur on
00:47:19.640 Indigenous
00:47:20.180 Human Rights,
00:47:21.560 he has been
00:47:22.400 here, he has
00:47:23.300 been investigating
00:47:24.580 human rights
00:47:26.700 violations, which
00:47:28.480 would be
00:47:28.960 fundamental to
00:47:30.620 the future
00:47:32.700 investigation that
00:47:33.920 may happen,
00:47:34.480 because China
00:47:35.300 has accused
00:47:36.740 Canada of
00:47:37.480 genocide.
00:47:38.980 So that
00:47:40.300 should trigger
00:47:41.360 a UN
00:47:41.980 investigation.
00:47:43.500 But, you
00:47:43.940 know, my
00:47:44.300 problem with
00:47:44.880 that is that
00:47:45.700 it was a
00:47:46.740 group of
00:47:47.340 terror bloc
00:47:48.840 countries, and
00:47:50.280 Terry Glavin is
00:47:51.260 the person who
00:47:51.880 brought this to
00:47:52.840 everyone's
00:47:53.280 attention.
00:47:54.200 The charge was
00:47:55.120 made the day
00:47:55.840 after UNDRIP
00:47:57.020 was received
00:47:58.860 royal assent in
00:48:00.160 Canada, which
00:48:00.980 to me is
00:48:01.740 rather suspicious,
00:48:03.260 and about three
00:48:03.880 weeks after the
00:48:04.700 Kamloops discovery
00:48:06.180 hit the news.
00:48:07.000 and, you
00:48:12.280 know, it's
00:48:13.180 problematic if
00:48:14.740 you have a
00:48:17.100 nation that
00:48:18.280 actually had a
00:48:20.360 real genocide
00:48:21.080 where they
00:48:22.060 caused the
00:48:24.340 death of
00:48:25.280 about 40
00:48:26.360 million of
00:48:27.040 their own
00:48:27.440 people under
00:48:28.920 Mao in the
00:48:31.020 Great Leap
00:48:31.520 forward by
00:48:32.920 starvation, by
00:48:34.320 famine.
00:48:34.740 It's
00:48:35.520 problematic if
00:48:36.660 that's the
00:48:37.160 accuser of
00:48:37.920 Canada of
00:48:39.600 genocide.
00:48:41.780 So, you
00:48:43.480 know, I
00:48:43.680 think it's a
00:48:44.120 very complicated
00:48:44.800 issue, and
00:48:45.540 our MPs in
00:48:47.240 the House of
00:48:47.780 Commons have
00:48:48.420 complicated it
00:48:49.260 further, because
00:48:50.340 last fall on
00:48:51.400 October 27th,
00:48:52.760 they all voted
00:48:54.120 unanimously that
00:48:56.200 Indian residential
00:48:57.220 schools were an
00:48:58.100 act of genocide.
00:48:59.820 There was no
00:49:00.560 debate, nothing.
00:49:01.840 They just passed
00:49:02.620 it in like two
00:49:03.320 minutes.
00:49:04.660 So, you
00:49:06.880 know, there's
00:49:07.260 no evidence for
00:49:08.220 it, but we've
00:49:08.960 accused ourselves,
00:49:10.880 and it's going to
00:49:12.580 be pretty hard to
00:49:13.440 backtrack on that
00:49:14.400 one, I think.
00:49:16.140 Yeah, and we've
00:49:16.920 got China, who is
00:49:18.500 actively engaging
00:49:19.420 in a real
00:49:19.940 genocide against
00:49:21.020 Muslim Uyghurs and
00:49:22.620 Christians,
00:49:23.780 accusing us of
00:49:26.140 genocide, because
00:49:26.920 we've accused
00:49:27.620 ourselves of
00:49:28.300 genocide.
00:49:28.620 we can't say the
00:49:29.720 Chinese are wrong
00:49:30.440 about us, because
00:49:31.540 they voted in the
00:49:33.680 House of Commons.
00:49:35.360 Michelle, before I
00:49:37.280 let you go, because
00:49:38.180 you've been very
00:49:38.920 generous with your
00:49:39.540 time, as always,
00:49:41.020 you've started your
00:49:42.160 own sub-stack, and
00:49:43.420 I want to give you a
00:49:44.840 chance to promote
00:49:45.400 it, because it does
00:49:48.280 something that I think
00:49:49.020 is so necessary in
00:49:50.400 all of these debates,
00:49:51.680 and it's hopeful.
00:49:54.580 We're so inundated
00:49:55.800 with doom and gloom
00:49:56.660 when it comes to
00:49:57.220 climate change, or
00:49:57.960 COVID, or the next
00:49:58.780 pandemic, or how
00:49:59.920 apparently we're a
00:50:00.860 genocidal state, we're
00:50:01.760 the worst people on
00:50:02.620 the face of the
00:50:03.160 earth, according to
00:50:03.780 China, your sub-stack
00:50:05.360 does the opposite.
00:50:07.540 Well, I call it the
00:50:09.220 climate of hope, so I
00:50:11.040 basically am really
00:50:13.080 heartbroken over what's
00:50:14.480 happened with our young
00:50:15.340 people, especially, but
00:50:16.520 with many other people
00:50:17.560 who feel this, you
00:50:18.980 know, dark cloud over
00:50:19.880 their head all the
00:50:20.560 time, whenever there's
00:50:22.000 a disaster, like the
00:50:24.020 wildfires, or whatever,
00:50:25.180 it's always amped up
00:50:26.240 into, you know, climate
00:50:27.300 change, and this is the
00:50:28.340 new normal, it's always
00:50:29.520 going to be like this,
00:50:30.400 you're always going to
00:50:31.060 be running from wildfire,
00:50:32.560 and that's just not
00:50:34.920 true, so I'm going to
00:50:36.320 try and post some, you
00:50:38.120 know, informative items,
00:50:40.520 something on the lighter
00:50:41.980 side, and just try and
00:50:44.960 help people climb down
00:50:46.520 from that tree of fear,
00:50:49.080 you know, a lot of
00:50:50.440 people are like kittens
00:50:51.360 up a tree, where they're
00:50:52.520 terrified, and they're
00:50:53.400 stuck there, so I want to
00:50:55.740 try and tempt them to
00:50:56.760 come down the tree, and
00:50:58.640 you know, have a nice
00:50:59.960 warm bowl of milk, and
00:51:01.400 some crunchies, and
00:51:02.200 curl up, and feel safe
00:51:03.400 and comfy, so that's my
00:51:05.120 goal, so I just started
00:51:06.900 it, so there's not much
00:51:07.860 posted there yet, but
00:51:09.020 thank you.
00:51:09.820 You know, I think it's
00:51:10.280 much needed, I think it's
00:51:11.680 much needed, though, you
00:51:12.640 know, when you flip on the
00:51:13.820 TV, or, you know, your
00:51:16.180 Twitter account, even, and
00:51:17.260 it's just nonsense, there's
00:51:19.320 nothing climate change
00:51:20.180 can't do to kill you,
00:51:21.380 apparently, if you get all
00:51:23.340 your news from the
00:51:24.020 mainstream media, and
00:51:25.320 it's just so outrageous,
00:51:26.380 you know, it's like, is
00:51:27.320 climate change giving you
00:51:28.320 an earache, is climate
00:51:29.680 change making the ticks
00:51:30.720 bite you, and I wish I
00:51:31.600 were making up the
00:51:32.680 things I just said, but
00:51:33.620 those are recent articles
00:51:34.800 that I've read, is
00:51:35.880 climate change making
00:51:36.740 you fat, is climate
00:51:37.900 change giving you heart
00:51:38.860 disease, I mean, it's
00:51:40.540 non-stop.
00:51:42.100 And the person to
00:51:43.180 follow for all these
00:51:44.400 ridiculous headlines is
00:51:46.320 Dawn TJ90, D-A-W-N-T-J-90,
00:51:50.180 on Twitter, because she's
00:51:52.300 got a fantastic gallery
00:51:53.740 of memes, where she's
00:51:55.400 just stuck together all
00:51:56.400 these different headlines
00:51:57.420 that are conflicting and
00:51:58.980 ridiculous, and, you
00:52:01.000 know, that, if you read a
00:52:02.580 few of those, it completely
00:52:04.360 ends your climate fear
00:52:06.320 right there.
00:52:10.480 And, again, before I let
00:52:12.240 you go, let people know
00:52:13.180 how they can support
00:52:14.180 Friends of Science, because
00:52:15.480 you are just this little,
00:52:16.740 tiny, scarcely funded
00:52:19.500 group up against the
00:52:20.960 deep pockets of foreign
00:52:22.440 funded environmentalists
00:52:24.040 and the United Nations
00:52:25.720 and the World Economic
00:52:26.720 Forum, and you're trying
00:52:27.720 to cut through the
00:52:28.260 garbage to advocate for
00:52:32.260 more reasonable policies
00:52:33.680 and sensible debate on
00:52:35.280 these issues.
00:52:37.280 Well, you can go online
00:52:39.140 to friendsofscience.org.
00:52:42.960 You can join us, become a
00:52:44.940 member, you can donate, or
00:52:46.480 you can just send a
00:52:47.600 donation to, by e-transfer
00:52:49.740 to contact at
00:52:51.360 friendsofscience.org.
00:52:53.160 We're entering our 21st
00:52:54.820 year of operation, so
00:52:56.080 $21 would be a nice
00:52:58.060 birthday present.
00:52:59.380 I did want to mention we
00:53:00.680 are going to have a live
00:53:01.700 event in the fall, so
00:53:03.520 it's called Break Free
00:53:04.880 from Climate Tyranny, and
00:53:07.020 you can see that on our
00:53:08.820 main page on our website,
00:53:10.460 and there's also an event
00:53:11.640 page, so we're doing
00:53:12.560 early bird ticketing right
00:53:13.780 now for that, so
00:53:14.840 have a look at it.
00:53:20.640 Very exciting.
00:53:21.640 Those events, your live
00:53:23.040 events, are great, and the
00:53:24.920 food is great, and the
00:53:25.800 conversation is great, and
00:53:26.720 the speakers are always
00:53:27.420 really excellent, and it's
00:53:28.800 just good to get back out
00:53:29.920 in person after three years
00:53:32.160 of no events whatsoever.
00:53:34.680 Great.
00:53:38.700 Michelle, thanks so much
00:53:39.720 for coming on the show.
00:53:40.500 We'll have you back on
00:53:42.200 again very, very soon.
00:53:44.760 Thank you, Sheila.
00:53:45.800 Have a good day, everyone,
00:53:47.200 and don't let the climate
00:53:49.100 fear get you down.
00:53:50.820 There's hope.
00:53:51.500 Well, friends, we've come to
00:53:59.980 the portion of the show where
00:54:01.280 we invite your viewer
00:54:02.260 feedback.
00:54:03.020 It's why I give out my
00:54:03.920 email address right now.
00:54:05.220 It's Sheila at
00:54:05.980 rebelnews.com.
00:54:07.620 Put gun show letters in the
00:54:09.060 subject line, so I know that
00:54:10.500 your feedback is not just
00:54:12.900 generalized hate mail, but
00:54:15.700 specifically to the show that
00:54:18.720 I'm doing, and last week's
00:54:21.180 letter comes to me by way of
00:54:23.940 somebody named Micah, and
00:54:26.260 Micah writes, hi, Sheila, big
00:54:28.220 fan of your show here.
00:54:29.220 Keep up the excellent work.
00:54:30.440 I definitely will, as long as
00:54:32.920 Ezra will have me.
00:54:34.560 I have an idea for a show or
00:54:36.120 perhaps a series of shows,
00:54:37.740 because the subject matter
00:54:39.660 deals with Atlantic Canada.
00:54:42.420 It may not be your wheelhouse
00:54:44.620 necessarily, but maybe it would
00:54:46.560 be of interest to one of
00:54:48.420 Rebels' Eastern-based
00:54:49.840 journalists.
00:54:50.540 We don't have a ton of
00:54:51.600 Eastern-based journalists, but
00:54:53.900 I have a strong interest in
00:54:56.160 Eastern Canada just because of
00:54:57.860 where I live, and you would
00:54:58.820 think, why would an Albertan
00:54:59.860 care about what's happening in
00:55:00.920 Eastern Canada?
00:55:01.540 But we have so many of you
00:55:02.560 Easterners here that at my
00:55:04.140 little small-town grocery
00:55:05.240 store in Fort Saskatchewan, we
00:55:07.780 have an aisle, our ethnic food
00:55:10.600 aisle is actually maritime food.
00:55:12.840 So, like, we have your weird
00:55:15.500 brands of crush and the big
00:55:17.320 logs of bologna and salted
00:55:19.600 fish and all those things that
00:55:21.280 make you people feel at home
00:55:23.960 here.
00:55:24.540 And so we're glad to have you
00:55:25.440 in, you know, our pubs are
00:55:26.580 often Atlantic kitchen-style
00:55:30.520 pubs.
00:55:31.180 Again, because there are just so
00:55:32.440 many of you here.
00:55:33.960 And, you know, as they say,
00:55:36.840 Fort McMurray is the largest town
00:55:38.820 in Newfoundland.
00:55:39.940 So, a lot of you guys here,
00:55:41.460 and I'm very interested in what
00:55:43.060 happens there, but also how,
00:55:46.380 you know, sort of the attacks on
00:55:48.040 your industry here led you, or
00:55:50.840 the attacks on your industry
00:55:52.160 there led you here, and then now
00:55:54.840 they're attacking our industry
00:55:55.780 here.
00:55:56.160 So, things to consider.
00:55:58.480 I'm currently on vacation in
00:55:59.780 Newfoundland.
00:56:00.260 Oh, lucky.
00:56:02.040 It seems like almost everyone I
00:56:03.520 talk to here has their own
00:56:04.640 version of how and why the
00:56:06.100 fisheries were shut down.
00:56:07.240 Same thing with certain energy
00:56:09.500 projects.
00:56:10.940 Hmm.
00:56:12.220 Maybe this has been done before,
00:56:14.200 but I think it would be
00:56:14.880 interesting to see a post-mortem
00:56:16.220 play-by-play on all the events
00:56:18.180 and political moves that led to
00:56:19.460 the demise of the key industries
00:56:21.280 in this province.
00:56:22.580 Thank you for your time and for
00:56:23.880 the work that you and the entire
00:56:25.200 Rebel team do every day.
00:56:26.840 Warm regards.
00:56:28.000 Micah.
00:56:28.440 You know, Micah, that's a very
00:56:31.120 interesting proposition.
00:56:32.760 Something I would seriously
00:56:33.820 consider because I can see how
00:56:38.020 those sort of government
00:56:43.020 overreach, government control
00:56:44.380 on certain key industries there
00:56:46.260 cause problems in those
00:56:48.400 industries and then drove
00:56:50.040 people, like I said, out to the
00:56:52.040 West, where now government
00:56:54.040 control is doing the same things
00:56:55.440 to the new industries, which
00:56:56.920 employ those fun-loving
00:56:59.500 Easterners.
00:57:00.040 And, yeah, there's a lot of
00:57:05.140 different versions of the story.
00:57:06.920 And I think there will always be a
00:57:08.100 lot of different versions to
00:57:09.000 every story.
00:57:09.760 You know, how did Alberta end up
00:57:12.800 basically underwater in the 1980s
00:57:15.740 thanks to Trudeau?
00:57:16.460 There are a lot of different
00:57:17.380 moving parts there.
00:57:20.600 But, you know, very interesting.
00:57:23.100 And I think a very big part of
00:57:26.040 Canadian history that is often
00:57:27.340 overlooked just by
00:57:30.720 the nature of
00:57:32.180 demographics so that there are
00:57:34.380 not a lot of people
00:57:35.380 on the East Coast in some of those
00:57:37.100 communities that ended up just
00:57:38.680 basically destroyed
00:57:40.020 by the collapse of the fishery
00:57:41.760 the way that we're seeing
00:57:42.540 communities out here in the West
00:57:43.760 destroyed by
00:57:45.700 the government-mandated collapse
00:57:47.820 in the coal industry.
00:57:51.160 But also just because they're so far
00:57:52.920 away.
00:57:53.740 They're just so darn far away
00:57:55.600 that, not to say that we forget
00:57:57.180 that they exist.
00:57:57.840 It's hard to forget they exist
00:57:59.100 when you're in Alberta and there's
00:58:00.960 so many Easterners here.
00:58:02.480 But you're just far away.
00:58:05.200 It's like talking about a town in
00:58:07.640 the far north.
00:58:09.120 You don't often do that just
00:58:10.240 because it's so far away from
00:58:12.400 the center of the universe,
00:58:14.700 Toronto.
00:58:16.120 So, yes, thank you for the idea.
00:58:17.480 And I will seriously consider it
00:58:19.260 when I'm not doing a million other
00:58:21.720 projects at the company.
00:58:22.780 But there's always time for one
00:58:23.860 more isn't there.
00:58:25.200 Well, everybody, that's the show
00:58:26.280 for tonight.
00:58:26.720 Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:58:27.940 I'll see everybody back here
00:58:28.900 in the same time.
00:58:29.740 Well, it might not be in the same
00:58:31.020 place.
00:58:31.320 I'm touring the documentary this
00:58:32.780 week.
00:58:33.480 But from wherever I'm filming,
00:58:36.300 don't let the government tell you
00:58:37.420 that you've had too much to think.
00:58:53.860 And then after the time,
00:59:09.680 thank you.
