00:00:00.000 We had very good news on this file this week. I want to tell everybody, there's been a ruling from the Privacy Commissioner of Canada that came out a month ago. It wasn't really reported really at all by the corporate media, but the National Post did, that's correct.
00:00:21.920 So we, there's this claim that there were basically 215 babies or children buried in a mass grave at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. This announcement was made in May of 2021. And it was, if you watch the documentary, you'll see the details of it.
00:00:42.540 But in the wake of that, remember the convulsions our country went through? Trudeau went and knelt in the middle of a field with a teddy bear. We had our flag flown at half-mast, and Justin Trudeau said he would fly it at half-mast for as long as the chief of the Kamloops Band wanted.
00:01:05.680 Like, you're not the leader of the country anymore, Justin? Like, what's going on? And then, over a hundred churches were burned and vandalized in the wake of that. I don't know if you remember this, it was just a rash of burnings.
00:01:20.900 And I think, I don't even think anyone's been prosecuted or convicted of anything for that. Not as, okay, thank you, not a single one. Think of that.
00:01:29.660 Over a hundred churches vandalized. Some burned to the ground, some burned beyond repair.
00:01:36.120 The other thing is that the New York Times published an article basically saying that Canada has this shameful, dark history of killing these children.
00:01:45.600 A delegation went to the United Nations, and we got designated a genocidal country.
00:01:52.820 Okay, this was big, what they did in the wake of this.
00:01:55.600 And then, the band itself, the federal government then gushed all this money out over, I think it's close to $350 million, was put out to excavate across the country.
00:02:09.280 Because now there were claims that there were over 700 locations across the country where there were other dead and buried children.
00:02:14.720 Okay, so in March, right when I was being thrown out of my party for saying this, the federal government private quietly pulled all the funding for any more digging because not one bone had been found in any of the places they did try and do some excavations across the country.
00:02:34.160 But the Kamloops Indian Residential School never gave up on this claim.
00:02:39.560 They still to this day have claimed that they're there, and they demanded and received $12.1 million to dig.
00:02:48.120 And they have not dug anything, and it's been now four and a half years, and they've been stalling.
00:02:52.600 So what happened in the last month is that an investigative journalist group called Black Locks Reporters had filed a freedom of information request in Ottawa for the information.
00:03:06.440 Because in order to get the $12.1 million, they were supposed to file progress reports about the digging.
00:03:13.300 Okay, actually I was shocked that they had required anything, because they usually don't require, just give the money and forget about whether there's anything done.
00:03:20.240 But they actually had said you have to file progress reports. Amazing.
00:03:24.380 So the progress reports, they were filing, they were trying to get this freedom of information request.
00:03:30.300 It dragged on, dragged on, and then at a year, I don't know if you remember, I think it was September,
00:03:35.620 the federal government actually sealed these documents and said nobody can have them.
00:03:40.480 But Black Locks was not to be rebuffed.
00:03:44.460 They continued on, and they appealed the decision of the initial freedom of information request, and they won.
00:03:52.920 And the Fed, I know, so amazing.
00:03:56.240 So the Federal Privacy Commissioner, or, because they said we didn't have enough staff,
00:04:01.520 they had all these excuses for why they hadn't given the report, and it was just too complicated, too much.
00:04:06.700 The Privacy Commissioner, and this is where I have hope that perhaps courage is spreading,
00:04:10.760 because the winds of change are blowing, I'm telling you, she said,
00:04:13.980 no, there's no excuse for not giving these out.
00:04:16.860 You have to release them within 30 days.
00:04:20.180 So today's the 20th, today's the 30th day.
00:04:23.360 Those reports are now going to be coming out.
00:04:26.240 So the day before yesterday, what did we see come out of the Camelot was banned?
00:04:30.420 And, oh, okay, well, we haven't really dug, but we've been having all these conversations with the Catholic Church,
00:04:37.420 and we're looking for records, and there are 119 different bands represented of the children who had come here,
00:04:43.340 and we have to talk to them about, if we do find something, how will we return them to you?
00:04:46.940 I mean, just complete garbage excuses for why they haven't done any digging.
00:04:54.260 And now they're saying we're narrowing the scope if we dig. 0.84
00:04:57.440 We don't know if we're going to dig, but basically they have admitted that they have not dug
00:05:02.820 and that there are no confirmed burials there.
00:05:07.040 So this is a really big event, and they're trying to bury it in language that will make it seem like
00:05:14.420 it's not a serious situation, but it is.
00:05:17.580 It's really bad.
00:05:18.740 And in the meantime, over this past year, I have been called every name in the book by every chief in this province. 0.99
00:05:24.900 I have been called vile, disgusting, disgraceful, diabolical, racist, denialist, fascist, Nazi, harmful, soulless. 0.99
00:05:40.940 You know, it just goes on and on. 0.99
00:05:42.320 And CBC will bring these people on and let them just hack on me solidly for half an hour.
00:05:46.880 They don't ever phone me and ask me if I could come in for half an hour and tell them what I think.
00:05:50.420 Never.
00:05:51.260 They never call me.
00:05:54.140 It's totally one-sided.
00:05:56.120 And they let them just stream on.
00:05:58.200 Grand Chief Stuart Phillip, the other TG.
00:06:02.240 I forget which organization he's the head of, but he's another bigwig.
00:06:05.700 And then Casimir herself has demanded that I resign.
00:06:09.220 So the more they say to me, the tougher I get.
00:06:12.000 And I'm like, okay, you know what?
00:06:13.720 Really, why should I resign?
00:06:15.340 I've actually been elected, and I'm actually standing for truth.
00:06:19.300 You should resign.
00:06:25.500 You should resign.
00:06:27.080 I've also said you have perpetrated a fraud on Canada.
00:06:30.700 You should apologize to Canadians for accusing them of mass murder. 0.83
00:06:34.300 And you should refund the money, because it was earmarked for digging with interest, with interest.
00:06:46.340 And they don't like that, because I'm pushing back just as hard as they're pushing on me.
00:06:51.460 Leah Gazan, who's a federal NDP MP, she actually has been pushing to have what's called residential school denialism made a criminal offense.
00:07:00.880 And they want me to go to jail.
00:07:03.080 They're trying to get this passed as soon as possible, because they want me imprisoned.
00:07:09.620 It's unbelievable that this could even be happening.
00:07:12.820 And we're speaking the truth.
00:07:14.660 But they call, any time you speak out against the things that are pushed out by what I call the reconciliation industry,
00:07:21.320 they will accuse you of engaging in denialism, using Holocaust language and imagery to talk about something that is completely different.
00:07:33.780 And it's really dangerous.
00:07:35.380 And so I've called them out on that, and I've done it in the ledge, and I've challenged David Eby.
00:07:43.120 And I've said, so now they want me to go to prison, and that day when I was in the ledge challenging him, I mean, that was hard to do, because I was going to repeat it.
00:07:51.700 And while I'm speaking, saying, I have spoken out about the bodies, the NDP across from me were like, 0.98
00:07:57.540 You're disgusting! You're disgraceful! I hate you! 1.00
00:08:00.860 You can't believe the things they say to me in the ledge. 0.98
00:08:03.320 And I'm trying to talk, listening to this vile vitriol coming at me, but I had to say it,
00:08:09.020 and all they just kept calling me was a racist, and they wouldn't answer the questions.
00:08:13.480 So, I guess my lesson, the lesson I've learned is that, and I read a chapter in Charlie Kirk's book,
00:08:20.840 God bless the guy, like, I'm so sad what they did to him, but, you know, terrible.
00:08:26.420 But Charlie Kirk had a chapter in one of his books called,
00:08:30.660 Being Called a Racist is Not the End of the World.
00:08:33.220 And he outlined how this tactic has been used for close to 40 years now to silence people who are getting close to truth.
00:08:45.960 And it is an old weapon. I didn't realize it had been used for this long.
00:08:50.360 But it is the most horrible thing to be called. It's awful to be called a racist,
00:08:54.460 because how do you fight back against that?
00:08:57.160 No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm really not.
00:08:59.640 I have a friend who's native, or I have a, you know, you know, like, it's that whole thing.
00:09:06.060 I have a gay friend. No, it's like, it's like, it's an awful thing, and you can't fight back against it. 1.00
00:09:11.180 So, they said you have to just plow through it, and understand that they are really nervous about what you're saying,
00:09:16.860 because they're taking out the heavy artillery now.
00:09:19.860 So, once you've accepted that that's what they're going to call you, then you can keep fighting on.
00:09:25.260 And if that's not working, then they get nervous, because they're like, uh-oh.
00:09:29.700 Because a lot of people, Charlie said, would simply disappear, go back under their duvet,
00:09:35.640 or hide under the bed for a couple of years, and try and hope that it'll disappear,
00:09:39.360 and someone won't remember, they back away.
00:09:42.020 Because it's really awful when that, as James Lindsay calls it, he's an amazing man,
00:09:47.460 a modern-day struggle session.
00:09:49.260 They are trying to beat you, and destroy your courage, and your integrity, and it takes such strength.
00:09:56.340 And I did have good people around me, people in my church, people who supported me,
00:10:00.920 my team, who were there for me to just, you know, sit with me in dark times.
00:10:05.440 When I was, you know, really scared, I have kids, I have a life.
00:10:10.900 I had to say to friends of mine, like, even my trainer, when I go to the gym,
00:10:14.220 like, you don't have to train me anymore if you're worried about what people are saying.
00:10:17.700 I had to talk to people and say, I'm really sorry, but I'm not what they're saying.
00:10:23.680 But I understand if you don't want to be around me.
00:10:25.700 Like, I had to do this, because people were, you know, it was awful.
00:10:29.600 But I can give you the good news that it's turned the corner now,
00:10:32.460 and so many people are grateful to me for standing up.
00:10:35.780 And I get letters from Indigenous people around this province who are thanking me.
00:10:42.480 And that is one of the greatest things.
00:10:47.700 I even got a direct message from a young offender who I defended,
00:10:57.180 who was Indigenous years and years ago, and he said, I'm 100% behind you.
00:11:01.400 And he goes, I can't believe you are my lawyer.
00:11:03.380 This was back in the early 90s, right?
00:11:05.600 But he just, and I've got even Indigenous people who say they like to run for 1BC,
00:11:09.800 because they're calling me to tell me what's going on on their reserves.
00:11:14.300 And it's really, really sad.
00:11:16.560 The stories are terrible, guys.
00:11:18.740 Like, really bad.
00:11:20.620 And if you haven't seen the documentary, there are two very brave men in the documentary
00:11:24.400 who are Indigenous, who had the guts to come and put their face on the camera 0.85
00:11:28.700 and actually tell the truth.
00:11:31.440 And I asked both of them, are you afraid?
00:11:33.680 They said, no, I've watched this for 40 years.
00:11:36.100 I can't take it anymore.
00:11:37.440 What's my life worth, Dallas?
00:11:39.800 I can't take it anymore.
