00:00:00.000We 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.
00:00:21.920So 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.
00:00:42.540But 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.
00:01:05.680Like, 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.
00:01:20.900And 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.
00:01:29.660Over a hundred churches vandalized. Some burned to the ground, some burned beyond repair.
00:01:36.120The other thing is that the New York Times published an article basically saying that Canada has this shameful, dark history of killing these children.
00:01:45.600A delegation went to the United Nations, and we got designated a genocidal country.
00:01:52.820Okay, this was big, what they did in the wake of this.
00:01:55.600And 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.
00:02:09.280Because now there were claims that there were over 700 locations across the country where there were other dead and buried children.
00:02:14.720Okay, 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.
00:02:34.160But the Kamloops Indian Residential School never gave up on this claim.
00:02:39.560They still to this day have claimed that they're there, and they demanded and received $12.1 million to dig.
00:02:48.120And they have not dug anything, and it's been now four and a half years, and they've been stalling.
00:02:52.600So 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.
00:03:06.440Because in order to get the $12.1 million, they were supposed to file progress reports about the digging.
00:03:13.300Okay, 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.
00:03:20.240But they actually had said you have to file progress reports. Amazing.
00:03:24.380So the progress reports, they were filing, they were trying to get this freedom of information request.
00:03:30.300It dragged on, dragged on, and then at a year, I don't know if you remember, I think it was September,
00:03:35.620the federal government actually sealed these documents and said nobody can have them.
00:03:40.480But Black Locks was not to be rebuffed.
00:03:44.460They continued on, and they appealed the decision of the initial freedom of information request, and they won.
00:06:27.080I've also said you have perpetrated a fraud on Canada.
00:06:30.700You should apologize to Canadians for accusing them of mass murder.
00:06:34.300And you should refund the money, because it was earmarked for digging with interest, with interest.
00:06:46.340And they don't like that, because I'm pushing back just as hard as they're pushing on me.
00:06:51.460Leah Gazan, who's a federal NDP MP, she actually has been pushing to have what's called residential school denialism made a criminal offense.
00:07:35.380And so I've called them out on that, and I've done it in the ledge, and I've challenged David Eby.
00:07:43.120And 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.
00:07:51.700And while I'm speaking, saying, I have spoken out about the bodies, the NDP across from me were like,
00:07:57.540You're disgusting! You're disgraceful! I hate you!
00:08:00.860You can't believe the things they say to me in the ledge.
00:08:03.320And I'm trying to talk, listening to this vile vitriol coming at me, but I had to say it,
00:08:09.020and all they just kept calling me was a racist, and they wouldn't answer the questions.
00:08:13.480So, I guess my lesson, the lesson I've learned is that, and I read a chapter in Charlie Kirk's book,
00:08:20.840God bless the guy, like, I'm so sad what they did to him, but, you know, terrible.
00:08:26.420But Charlie Kirk had a chapter in one of his books called,
00:08:30.660Being Called a Racist is Not the End of the World.
00:08:33.220And he outlined how this tactic has been used for close to 40 years now to silence people who are getting close to truth.
00:08:45.960And it is an old weapon. I didn't realize it had been used for this long.
00:08:50.360But it is the most horrible thing to be called. It's awful to be called a racist,
00:08:54.460because how do you fight back against that?
00:08:57.160No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm really not.
00:08:59.640I have a friend who's native, or I have a, you know, you know, like, it's that whole thing.
00:09:06.060I have a gay friend. No, it's like, it's like, it's an awful thing, and you can't fight back against it.
00:09:11.180So, they said you have to just plow through it, and understand that they are really nervous about what you're saying,
00:09:16.860because they're taking out the heavy artillery now.
00:09:19.860So, once you've accepted that that's what they're going to call you, then you can keep fighting on.
00:09:25.260And if that's not working, then they get nervous, because they're like, uh-oh.
00:09:29.700Because a lot of people, Charlie said, would simply disappear, go back under their duvet,
00:09:35.640or hide under the bed for a couple of years, and try and hope that it'll disappear,
00:09:39.360and someone won't remember, they back away.
00:09:42.020Because it's really awful when that, as James Lindsay calls it, he's an amazing man,
