00:00:00.000 I was expelled from the caucus by a press release that said that I was mocking child sex abuse victims and that I was giving support to pedophiles. 0.92
00:00:09.740 Wow, Dallas. Well, I just got to I have to thank you so much for providing your testimony as to what got you through that and to that point.
00:00:20.260 And I know it can. Two years ago, I was doing speaking to her on the island and I as well hadn't hardly used social media a whole lot.
00:00:31.060 And the report from the RCMP came out regarding the missing and murdered women on the government's website, proving that 86 percent of the murders had actually happened within their community themselves.
00:00:44.680 You know, they were killing each other. And so I had said, you know what? Thank goodness.
00:00:51.220 The murdered and missing women's case, you know, the report is out and as well, the graves are empty.
00:00:57.720 Well, I didn't think anything else. It was like 11 o'clock at night. I was still working.
00:01:01.820 Two weeks later, I'm on this trip on the island heading into Port Alberni and the chief starts claiming that, you know, I'm banned from Port Alberni and I went anyways.
00:01:12.280 And we did have a meeting, even though it got shut down. But the vitriol online and what comes after that.
00:01:19.680 But it is because of us sticking it out and people like Professor Frances Whittowson and you've got Nina Green doing investigations.
00:01:28.880 And there is a former Judge Giesbrecht who's writing on this issue all the time where I was years ago on this issue and speaking this, the truth and the facts about this and saying that this was a fraud.
00:01:42.280 They're extorting money and there's an agenda.
00:01:45.280 It's coming from the United Nations, the UNDRIP, United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, UNDRIP in BC.
00:01:53.540 And it's unlawful. It's illegal.
00:01:55.740 And so it's progressed as the light of truth gets exposed on them.
00:02:00.740 I feel like they feel like their time is pressing in.
00:02:04.000 So they've got to move more quickly forward.
00:02:06.080 And if David, if the likes of David Evie, and I'm going to include John Rustad in this, if they hadn't been undergirding this and facilitating it, it would never have gotten to this point.
00:02:17.400 And then, you know, as another matter to support the fact that we were speaking the truth all the time, that they're exploiting the Indians for their own personal gain to steal our property and to steal our natural resources. 0.99
00:02:35.760 And the other report has now come out from the RCMP that was done between 1995 and 2003. 0.93
00:02:43.580 There was an eight-year investigation and it was supposed to be on these so-called sexual abuse, like you say, that you're, you know, supporting pedophiles and sexual abusers.
00:02:53.620 Well, the report came out and said no.
00:02:55.020 So, you know, what was it, 150,000 children across the country had attended the schools.
00:03:02.080 And I think there was 14 convictions consisting of Natives themselves, Indians themselves.
00:03:08.700 And so their whole scenario is falling apart.
00:03:13.040 It's crumbling all around them.
00:03:14.780 And people who are doing the research have the evidence to prove it.
00:03:18.580 And now it's a matter of getting this into court.
00:03:21.040 So you are standing strong on truth.
00:03:23.880 You are digging your heels in and refusing to give any territory back.
00:03:29.640 And I thank you for that.
00:03:30.960 And our viewers thank you for that because it has to come from all of these different directions because I believe in the end truth is going to prevail.
00:03:39.140 We are going to need to overturn this.
00:03:42.260 And so as we move forward, you know, having been in law, journalism and politics, all of those things I'd imagine have shaped your perspective on the truth and accountability in public life.
00:03:57.720 But as party leadership had demanded you delete those tweets and you just were adamant that you were not going to accommodate them in those ways, we can see that that must have been a really difficult decision to make.
00:04:16.880 Do you have any regret over it or are you glad that you stood your ground and where's the direction that you're now going from here?
00:04:25.000 Yeah.
00:04:27.720 Thank you.
