00:00:00.000 What's a potential unmarked grave? It might be roots, it might be rocks, it might be an animal
00:00:05.580 burrow. So everyone has the right to question that, because until these claims are proven in
00:00:12.360 a court of law with evidence, they're just claims, they're allegations. And what could be more
00:00:18.360 destabilizing to society than promoting a blood libel on Catholics in Canadian history? And here's
00:00:26.500 Minister Miller Promoting Sugarcane, which, as Tanya and Heather mentioned, is a so-called
00:00:34.520 documentary, which is now distributed by National Geographic. But when Nina Green and I looked at
00:00:41.580 the facts, it's fake. It's a shockumentary, a schlockumentary. So it turns out that in Sugarcane,
00:00:52.440 the mother of the abandoned child pleaded guilty to that charge and was sentenced to one year in
00:00:58.540 jail. And what was the claim about? Well, Sugarcane misleads the public. Mark Miller promoted the
00:01:04.780 documentary Sugarcane that claimed that at St. Joseph's Indian Residential School, also known
00:01:11.000 as Caribou, claimed that Catholic priests impregnated students, illicit babies were
00:01:16.660 Burnett School incinerator, and that Ed Archie Noiscat is the only baby known to have survived
00:01:23.020 the incinerator. But the facts are that the mother of baby Ed was a woman named Antoinette Archie,
00:01:31.120 actually the grandmother of one of the show's producers. Think about doing that to your
00:01:37.380 grandmother. She was a 20-year-old adult. She was not a student and not a student at the school. 0.99
00:01:44.440 Baby Ed's father was a guy named Ray Peters, not a priest.
00:01:49.300 He was 11 years older than her.
00:01:52.620 He fathered at least 17 children with five different women. 1.00
00:01:57.400 And it was Antoinette who put little Ed in the school's incinerator.
00:02:02.040 She spent a year in jail for abandoning her baby, who she told the court she thought was dead.
00:02:07.020 so these are the people who are rewriting canadian history with lies so here's tanya talaga we'll get
00:02:17.860 into a bit more about her later canada must stand against residential school denialism
00:02:23.000 and here's stephanie scott executive director of the national center for truth and reconciliation
00:02:29.600 those who deny the reality of residential schools history isn't yours to rewrite and here's of
00:02:36.400 of course, Leah Gazan, claiming that the first genocide that was recognized within Canadian
00:02:41.200 borders. Well, I'm sorry, people, but no one has ever been charged or convicted
00:02:48.060 of genocide in Canada in relation to Indian residential schools.
