00:00:00.000 I have some good news to share with everyone on the program today which is
00:00:09.960 rare because the way things are going in our country each new day usually brings
00:00:14.520 fresh bad news but this new development bucks that trend a recent excavation at
00:00:20.400 the site of a former Indian residential school has uncovered no human remains
00:00:25.200 no mass grave full of indigenous bodies despite the fact that government at all
00:00:30.780 levels First Nations leadership and of course legacy media journalists
00:00:35.460 routinely told us for years that ground penetrating radar discoveries which
00:00:40.440 really weren't discoveries at all uncovered evidence of crimes against
00:00:45.240 humanity committed by the evil Canadian government this should be seen as
00:00:49.320 welcome news by everybody but for some reason the legacy media journalists
00:00:54.180 writing up this story and the First Nations chief who oversaw the
00:00:57.940 excavation of the grounds don't seem too happy about the fact that their
00:01:02.040 excavation and their dig turned up nothing but rocks maybe that's because
00:01:05.940 just like in previous excavations that turned up nothing the more people dig
00:01:10.220 for truth to find evidence of these crimes against humanity committed by the
00:01:14.680 evil Canadian government the less of it they find don't forget what happened to
00:01:18.860 this country when First Nations working hand-in-hand with legacy media
00:01:23.040 propagandists claim to have found the remains of children buried in mass graves
00:01:27.480 despite not having any proof to back it up oh and by the way the same people that
00:01:32.400 pushed this hoax are now trying to make it illegal for you to deny their baseless
00:01:36.900 claims they're calling it residential school denialism and if all of this
00:01:41.040 sounds awfully Marxist to you that's because it is drop a like in the video help us
00:01:45.480 up with subscribing to the true north YouTube channel and the comment question for the
00:01:48.660 episode is this is this one of the hoaxes of the century let me know in the
00:01:54.480 comments and let's get into it Canada descended into chaos and mayhem during
00:01:59.160 the summer of 2021 after the Kamloops First Nations announced the discovery using
00:02:05.580 ground penetrating radar of the remains of 215 children buried at the site of the
00:02:11.380 former Kamloops Indian residential school and what can only be described as one of the
00:02:15.560 most embarrassing failures of modern journalism ever seen in Canada
00:02:18.960 international news outlets and of course the legacy media in Canada who are all on
00:02:23.060 the take from the federal government ran with the claims without investigating a
00:02:26.620 single word that was uttered by these First Nations and made it seem as though
00:02:31.240 Canada was guilty of the worst crimes ever committed they had convinced Canadians
00:02:36.040 and frankly the rest of the world that mass graves full of hundreds of
00:02:40.140 indigenous children were being located everywhere in this country and that of
00:02:44.420 course the Canadian government and the Catholic Church were guilty of the worst
00:02:48.440 crimes imaginable after the Kamloops Indian residential school first
00:02:52.580 announced the apparent discovery of 215 remains of indigenous children well sure
00:02:58.760 enough of course several First Nations bands across the country announced
00:03:03.200 similar claims in Saskatchewan one First Nation claimed to have located the
00:03:07.880 remains of over 700 children in reality no First Nation had any proof that any of
00:03:13.980 these remains in fact had ever existed but that didn't stop every single
00:03:19.080 legacy media outlet in Canada and the rest of the world from reporting these
00:03:22.920 claims as if it were fact there was only one news outlet in Canada that actually
00:03:27.720 pushed back against the claims from the very beginning that outlet was true north
00:03:32.520 true north founder Candace Malcolm from the very beginning could smell that
00:03:36.260 something wasn't right here these First Nations were relying on ground
00:03:39.540 penetrating radar which produced findings that look like this ground
00:03:44.160 penetrating radar is not an excavation it's not proof and it doesn't dig up
00:03:48.360 evidence all it finds are disturbances in the ground but what followed after these
00:03:53.160 claims were made without doing any proper research or any actual excavation was
00:03:58.260 outright absurd terror reigned over Christians across the prairies in Canada
00:04:04.080 after these residential school claims were made 83 churches most of which serve
00:04:09.600 First Nations populations were burned or vandalized several completely razed to the
00:04:15.240 ground one BC civil rights activist cheered this reign of terror on and Trudeau's
00:04:20.340 former principal secretary Gerald Butts said it was understandable that people
00:04:24.900 were taking their frustration out in this way these churches many of them hundreds of
00:04:29.460 years old serving exclusively First Nations Canadians will be gone for the
00:04:34.740 rest of time thanks to these baseless and unfounded claims but again that didn't
00:04:40.680 stop the legacy media from piling on Justin Trudeau while this reign of terror was
00:04:45.480 taking place across the country plunged us into a prolonged national state of
00:04:49.920 mourning where Canadian flags were lowered at half-mast for months Canada Day the
00:04:54.840 only day of the year where Canadians are excused for showing any pride in our
00:04:58.500 country was cancelled what's worse an NDP motion was passed unanimously in the
00:05:05.160 House of Commons labeling Canada guilty of genocide oh and when I say
00:05:10.260 unanimously I mean unanimously because every single conservative MP approved
00:05:15.060 that motion oh and when Justin Trudeau wasn't busy taking photo ops kneeling
00:05:19.680 beside a supposed unmarked grave in Saskatchewan with a teddy bear in hand he
00:05:24.480 created a fake holiday called the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in
00:05:29.160 which he took off to go surfing in Tofino it might as well just be called
00:05:34.380 Canada's day for surfing because once the photo ops were done and once the
00:05:38.580 labeling of Canada as genocidal had taken place well all the actual care from
00:05:44.040 the government about dealing with actual problems faced by First Nations weren't
00:05:48.360 that necessary it was more important to go catch some waves if you take away all of
00:05:52.280 the absurd political motions labeling Canada genocidal or you take away the
00:05:56.900 stupid photo ops being done by Canadian leaders underneath it is something much
00:06:02.600 more sinister and much more concerning labeling this country as genocidal
00:06:07.400 without having any proof at all and saying Canada is guilty of these absurd
00:06:12.200 crimes is designed to strike at the very foundation of this country it's designed to
00:06:17.900 cast doubt on the existence the right to existence of this country because what is
00:06:23.480 good news to you and me is not seen as good news to people who want to rewrite
00:06:28.640 the history of this country after all I think it's wonderful that the remains of
00:06:33.440 indigenous children were not found in a recent excavation but take a look at this
00:06:38.120 CBC article announcing the results over the weekend no evidence of human remains
00:06:43.220 found beneath church at Pine Creek residential school site no evidence of human remains have
00:06:48.400 been found during the excavation of a Catholic church basement on the site of a former Manitoba
00:06:52.820 residential school 14 anomalies were detected using ground penetrating radar in the basement of
00:06:58.040 the church on the site of the former Pine Creek residential school last year survivors had
00:07:02.400 spoken about the horror stories in the basement spiritual advisors led in a pipe ceremony when the
00:07:07.640 search began and a sacred fire was led nearby to ensure elders survivors and intergenerational
00:07:13.340 survivors felt supported Nepenak the chief said that the search should be an example of how to use an
00:07:19.580 indigenous led approach that respects survivors Nepenak said that he is aware the results will feed into
00:07:26.060 a denialist narrative of what happened at residential schools and urged people to continue supporting the
00:07:32.140 search for truth the results of our excavation under the church should not be deemed as
00:07:36.860 conclusive of other ongoing searches and efforts to identify reflections from other community
00:07:42.000 processes including other ground penetrating radar initiatives let's know what the chief himself had
00:07:47.380 to say after announcing the findings or lack thereof in a recent video you tell me if you think that this
00:07:53.260 man is happy to announce that there are no remains found at this location after all in my opinion
00:07:58.800 this would be great news but but you tell me in the comments how you think this guy feels
00:08:02.980 the results of the excavation take nothing away from the difficult truths experienced by our families who
00:08:09.620 attended the residential school in pine creek we know from our observations of the public at large that our work
00:08:16.980 will feed into a denialist narrative of what happened to our families in residential school the results of our
00:08:23.360 excavation under the church should not be deemed as conclusive other ongoing searches and efforts to identify
00:08:28.980 reflections from other community processes including other gpr initiatives the true history is taking
00:08:35.620 shape incrementally and we recognize that this excavation is but a small piece of a much larger truth
00:08:42.180 the results in pine creek are not a means to deny the truths of those who survived the residential school
00:08:49.380 experience and those who did not you would be hard pressed to find a more apparent example of the great
00:08:55.700 divide between anishinaabe community values and priorities and whatever the values might be of
00:09:01.220 colonizer governments that purport to hold up the highest values of manitoba citizens this does not
00:09:07.140 mark the end of our truth finding project we will continue to engage in community engagement and we will
00:09:14.580 find a pathway forward that further helps us arrive at the truths of our history this is in no means
00:09:21.060 conclusive of our work to find the truth of the history of our residential school here in pine creek
00:09:26.820 there's no such thing as our truth there's only the truth you don't get to determine what the truth
00:09:32.340 is it just is what it is you can't shape it to fit your narrative and you certainly can't shape it to
00:09:38.180 try and deem everybody else as evil or guilty of crimes that maybe as it appears they haven't actually
00:09:44.180 committed take a look at some of these comments on twitter underneath the national post tweet of this story
00:09:50.180 chief derek nepenak expressed his disappointment and concern that actual facts may cause skepticism
00:09:56.260 to the narrative yet he seems disappointed weird yeah exactly it is strange it's the kind of thing
00:10:02.500 you'd think would be great news and this person just writes that's good news it certainly is but we're
00:10:08.660 now at a place in this country where not finding the remains of horrible crimes committed is actually
00:10:14.980 bad news because it doesn't fit the narrative that these people want and this is only the third actual
00:10:19.620 excavation after ground penetrating radar made these claims it turns out that most of the time
00:10:24.740 when these first nations make these claims and use ground penetrating radar they don't seem half as
00:10:29.780 interested to actually discover what might be underneath the soil right this in nova scotia
00:10:34.820 back in august of 2021 and what do you know after doing an excavation they found no human remains
00:10:41.460 the team of researchers searching for evidence of unmarked graves at the former
00:10:45.060 shabbana katie residential school in shabbana katie nova scotia has concluded its search without
00:10:50.420 finding graves connected to the institution a statement from the first nation wednesday said
00:10:54.580 that while the crews did find evidence of unmarked graves those graves predate the period of the
00:10:59.460 residential school by about 100 years and are connected to former landowners oh that's a bit awkward
00:11:05.540 isn't it oh what about that time that a crew in edmonton dug up claims of unmarked graves outside of a
00:11:10.580 hospital in edmonton and found nothing the worst piece of journalism from all of this came from
00:11:16.980 the new york times who ran a headline citing that mass graves were found in this country maybe one of
00:11:24.020 the worst pieces of new york times journalism ever published quite honestly i mean look at this
00:11:28.580 outrageous headline horrible history mass grave of indigenous children reported in canada no evidence
00:11:34.740 no investigation no research but of course it did do the job of making every canadian feel guilty
00:11:41.380 of things they didn't actually do it did force us all to enter a prolonged state of national mourning
00:11:46.980 which of course turned out to be completely useless because the claims so far have proven to find
00:11:52.420 nothing and even after these excavations have taken place and no remains have been found
00:11:57.460 not once do you see any remorse on the part of these first nations chiefs for leading this country
00:12:03.380 into believing that we are guilty of things that haven't actually happened nowhere does there seem
00:12:07.940 to be any actual remorse for pushing a narrative that turned out to be completely false but even if
00:12:13.300 they did show any remorse for pushing a narrative which turned out to be false it wouldn't have mattered
00:12:17.780 because the canadian establishment have moved full steam ahead in believing that canada is guilty of
00:12:22.900 genocide the federal government have accepted the findings of the trc report which accused canada of
00:12:28.420 genocide and it goes even further because look at what the canadian museum of human rights
00:12:33.300 a federally funded museum has to say about canada's role in the residential school system
00:12:38.900 we can't talk about reconciliation unless we are grounded in truth truth comes first we believe
00:12:44.660 that the indian residential school system was genocide we also believe that the policies and
00:12:49.140 practices of colonization from which the residential school system flowed were genocide and we state
00:12:54.740 this clearly and unequivocally in our exhibition rites of passage and like we've talked about in a
00:12:59.780 previous episode on this topic canada's government appointed independent special interlocutor on
00:13:05.380 unmarked graves in her final report wants to make so-called residential school denialism a crime in
00:13:11.940 this country that's right so even though we know that these claims of unmarked graves using ground
00:13:17.140 penetrating radar have turned up nothing but rocks this person kimberly murray wants to make it illegal
00:13:23.540 for any canadian to deny that genocide took place at residential schools imagine that having proof
00:13:30.020 that something doesn't exist but making it illegal to question its existence what canada is not guilty
00:13:36.260 of genocide ground penetrating radar claims have so far proven nothing so it's irresponsible for a
00:13:43.300 government official a first nations chief and even more so perhaps a legacy media journalist or a
00:13:49.300 journalist of for any publication of that matter to make ground penetrating radar claims sound
00:13:55.060 official when they're not federal politicians however at all levels just decided that you know
00:13:59.460 what putting up a fight for the truth and actually defending the historical accuracy and the record of
00:14:04.820 this country was too much they'd rather just vote for a motion that deems canada to be genocidal including
00:14:10.740 even the conservatives and while legacy media journalists continue to make these baseless claims well
00:14:17.060 christian churches that had stood for hundreds of years were burned to the ground when you realize
00:14:21.860 that tearing down statues like the statue of egerton ryerson queen victoria or queen elizabeth and
00:14:26.980 rewriting the history of this country so that they can make falsehoods and mistruths part of the actual
00:14:31.860 story of this country and criminalize anyone who dares to question it when you realize all of that is part
00:14:36.900 of the classic marxist playbook it all starts to make more sense and these claims of unmarked burials
00:14:42.820 should be taken with a level of seriousness that has yet to be shown from politicians who are actually
00:14:48.180 serious about defending this country all right everyone that's going to do it for us today on
00:14:52.580 the show reminder to let me know in the comments your answer to the comment question is this one of
00:14:57.460 the hoaxes of the century my name is harrison faulkner and this is ratio
