Justin Trudeau says Canada has committed a genocide against Indigenous people. What does that even mean? And who is responsible for all the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada? And why is this even a thing?
00:02:37.680Just over a month after forming government, we announced the creation of a national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls following the recommendation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
00:02:54.980An inquiry that we launched based on the steadfast advocacy of families and survivors.
00:03:06.680We promised Canadians that we would start this process, a process that would ultimately chart a path for the future.
00:03:14.560Earlier this morning, the National Inquiry formally presented their final report in which they found that the tragic violence that indigenous women and girls have experienced amounts to genocide.
00:03:28.960The strength of the families and survivors who bravely shared their truths has shown us the way forward.
00:03:46.460We will do a thorough review of this report and develop and implement a national action plan to address violence against indigenous women, girls, and LGBTQ and two-spirit people.
00:03:59.620So you heard him say genocide, a genocide against Aboriginal people.
00:04:07.480What, like centuries ago when European explorers and settlers first set foot in North America and had wars against the local Indian tribes they encountered?
00:04:18.460He means Aboriginal women who have been killed in individual criminal acts in the past few decades.
00:04:25.220He calls that a genocide because some partisan committee that he handpicked with lawyers and activists feasting for four years on a $100 million gravy train because they said so.
00:04:38.440And did you listen to the various parts of his statement there?
00:04:42.060He started by referring to another shockingly expensive study called the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
00:04:49.800That made a recommendation to have this Missing and Murdered Women's Commission.
00:04:56.220And did you hear Trudeau's plan to do more consultations and to come up with an implementation plan?
00:05:02.940And that plan will surely lead another plan.
00:05:07.820Gee, it's almost like the only people being helped here are lawyers and lobbyists and partisan appointees, many of whom are white, by the way.
00:05:14.160Most of whom are fancy city dwellers, never set foot on an Indian reserve if they can help it.
00:05:20.080Did you see our reporter, Kian Bextie, the other day try to ask Carolyn Bennett, the super white downtown Toronto Indian Affairs Minister?
00:05:28.120I mean, how bizarre is that choice for Cabinet in the first place?
00:05:31.840Kian asked her why she was paying consultants on this commission as much as $300 an hour.
00:05:39.120Minister Bennett, Minister Bennett, would you be able to tell me what you spent $300 an hour on in consultants for the Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women's Commission?
00:05:54.800Yeah, Kian, it's called the Indian industry.
00:05:57.940Helping the Indian industry is completely different from helping Indians or other aboriginals.
00:06:02.660There are 600 First Nations in this country, if you went to any given reserve, and asked them what the best use for $100 million is that this commission spent, or that the last commission spent, or the one before that, or the next one that Trudeau proposes.
00:06:16.280If he asked them if hiring more white lawyers to have meetings in hotels is the best use of that money, they'd laugh at you, but that's what Trudeau calls action.
00:06:26.000There's still no clean water up there at Grassy Narrows, First Nation.
00:07:59.960Of all his flaws, I think he proved his anti-racism bona fides.
00:08:04.300He's saying it's not a genocide because the missing and murdered Aboriginal women, it's a crime wave, but it's not actually a racist crime wave because, and I've told you this before a few years back, when I first looked at the numbers, I'm sorry, but there's no other way to put it.
00:08:23.740So the people who are killing Aboriginal women are Aboriginal men.
00:08:29.260In fact, in the plurality of cases, it's their husbands or boyfriends who are Aboriginal too.
00:08:37.420The RCMP has done exhaustive research into missing and murdered Aboriginal women.
00:08:42.040They do exhaustive research into anyone who is missing or murdered.
00:08:48.240These are all RCMP images, I should tell you.
00:08:51.220The RCMP looked at the data going back nearly 40 years.
00:08:54.620I'm going to go through some of the stats at a particular moment in time as per the RCMP snapshot.
00:08:59.860I've shared these stats before, back when the latest commission was proposed, because frankly, the police already asked all the questions and they came up with some pretty clear answers.
00:09:08.660The $100 million was just a gift to Trudeau's lawyer friends.
00:09:12.360According to the RCMP, out of 6,420 missing persons in Canada, you can see the stats five years old, but, you know, the numbers are similar to what they were back then.
00:09:22.320They don't have up-to-date numbers for 2019, I should point out.
00:09:28.340And the RCMP doesn't have clear graphics like this anymore under the Liberal regime.
00:09:32.700So out of the 6,420 missing persons, 1,455 are women at all, and 164 are Aboriginal women,
00:09:43.620and 105 of them are missing in unknown or suspicious circumstances as opposed to non-suspicious circumstances.
00:09:54.540But if police can't find these 100 women lost over the last 35 years, how can Justin Trudeau and his rich lawyers?
00:10:03.080Police don't ignore missing or murdered Aboriginal women.
00:10:06.320This isn't Chicago, where most crimes go unsolved forever.
00:10:09.360In Canada, police solve fully 88% of Aboriginal murders, which is almost identical to the 89% solve rate for non-Aboriginal women murdered.
