Juno News - The Marxist PURGE of Canadian culture and history

00:00:00.000 Canada is currently in the throes of a Marxist takeover.

00:00:09.580 This has been happening for the last four years with very few willing to mount a defensive fight against it.

00:00:14.560 But for many, the latest historical assassination of Henry Dundas, and that's what it is by the way,

00:00:19.480 the character assassination of a great man in history, has woken many people up.

00:00:24.900 Socialist Mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow, with the backing of a majority of Toronto city councillors,

00:00:30.740 just voted to erase Henry Dundas from Toronto.

00:00:33.800 The council renamed Young Dundas Square to Sankofa Square.

00:00:38.560 They've also voted to rename the two Dundas stations.

00:00:41.680 And, of course, the entirety of Dundas Street will also be renamed.

00:00:45.040 The charge against Henry Dundas was that he perpetuated the transatlantic slave trade.

00:00:49.720 That is a lie. Everyone knows it to be a lie, but that's not actually the point.

00:00:54.300 Just like Egerton Ryerson, and just like John A. Macdonald,

00:00:58.100 Henry Dundas represents what Marxists are trying to destroy, Canada itself.

00:01:03.220 They want you to believe that Canada was built on slavery, racism, and genocide.

00:01:09.160 Canada is what they seek to erase.

00:01:11.700 That is why our churches, a symbol of Canada as a Christian country, are being burned to the ground. 1.00

00:01:17.280 That's why our elected officeholders voted to condemn Canada as a genocidal country.

00:01:22.240 That is why our statues are being toppled.

00:01:24.300 And that's why great men of history who shaped this country are being erased.

00:01:28.640 As Karl Marx wrote,

00:01:30.060 In bourgeois society, the past dominates the present.

00:01:33.800 In communist society, the present dominates the past.

00:01:41.300 Stick around for an interview with a living relative of Henry Dundas.

00:01:44.340 And the comment question for the episode is this.

00:01:47.380 Who will the Marxists erase next?

00:01:50.160 Let me know in the comments, and let's get into it.

00:01:52.620 Henry Dundas was an abolitionist.

00:01:54.840 He committed his life to abolishing the slave trade.

00:01:57.360 That's why Canada honors him.

00:01:59.060 That's why we celebrate him across our country today.

00:02:01.980 The charge against Dundas is that he perpetuated the slave trade across the empire.

00:02:06.380 This is not true.

00:02:07.520 William Wilberforce, also an abolitionist,

00:02:10.240 sought to immediately abolish the slave trade in the late 1700s.

00:02:13.700 His legislation was never going to pass.

00:02:16.820 So Dundas, as the Home Secretary of the United Kingdom in 1792,

00:02:21.020 amended the legislation to gradually abolish the slave trade.

00:02:24.940 That amendment was passed, 230 to 85 votes,

00:02:28.200 setting in motion the eventual abolition of slavery in 1833.

00:02:33.180 What's more is that Dundas was the man who commissioned John Graves Simcoe

00:02:37.200 to be the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada.

00:02:40.060 In 1793, Simcoe, who was also an abolitionist,

00:02:45.000 convinced the Assembly of Upper Canada to accept his gradual abolition act.

00:02:49.580 And just like that, Upper Canada became the first territory in the empire

00:02:52.980 to pass such a bill.

00:02:55.240 It immediately banned the import of slaves into Upper Canada.

00:02:58.560 Any person who set foot in Upper Canada from that point onwards was a free person.

00:03:03.300 That is why we honor Henry Dundas,

00:03:05.240 and that is why we celebrate John Graves Simcoe.

00:03:08.360 These men were ahead of their time.

00:03:10.260 They virtuously and justly administered their authority.

00:03:13.440 Now, this has nothing to do with slavery.

00:03:15.800 We know that because the Council chose Sankofa

00:03:18.960 to be the word that now occupies the title of Yung Dundas Square.

00:03:22.860 Sankofa was a word coined by the Akan tribe of Ghana,

00:03:26.740 who themselves traded slaves for gold.

00:03:28.960 This is about cancelling Canada as a project.

00:03:32.720 Every record has been destroyed or falsified.

00:03:35.360 Every book rewritten.

00:03:36.920 Every picture has been repainted.

00:03:38.820 Every statue and street building has been renamed.

00:03:41.960 Every date has been altered.

00:03:43.600 And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute.

00:03:47.860 History has stopped.

00:03:49.200 Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

00:03:53.640 Sound familiar?

00:03:54.540 That was in George Orwell's dystopian fiction 1984.

00:03:57.400 So what is really the motivation behind all of this?

00:04:00.640 Why does an African word now occupy the title of Canada's most iconic intersection?

00:04:05.360 Why is John A. Macdonald's statue at Queen's Park in a wooden box

00:04:08.820 as some sort of national humiliation ritual?

00:04:11.600 Why are statues of our greatest monarchs violently torn down on Canada Day

00:04:15.720 and celebrated by elected politicians?

00:04:18.200 Why do our churches get burned down?

00:04:20.360 Why did our flags fly at half mass for over six months?

00:04:23.900 It's simple.

00:04:24.920 They are trying to demoralize you.

00:04:26.860 They are trying to beat the will to defend your country out of you.

00:04:30.860 They change the lyrics to our anthem, sing it in foreign languages,

00:04:34.380 erect giant unseemly statues in front of you,

00:04:37.200 and import millions of people who are unwilling to accept Canadian values

00:04:40.560 and to assimilate into our country

00:04:41.780 because the people in charge clearly hate this country.

00:04:46.160 In the words of Justin Trudeau,

00:04:47.880 they want Canada to be the first post-national state,

00:04:51.140 regardless of what Canadians actually might think about that.

00:04:54.200 Well, joining us now is a distant living relative of Henry Dundas, Jennifer Dundas.

00:04:59.620 She's a former Crown prosecutor and also a former CBC journalist.

00:05:03.460 Over the past few years, she has spent a considerable amount of time

00:05:06.360 debunking the lies about Henry Dundas

00:05:08.400 and trying to mount a just defense of not just Henry Dundas,

00:05:12.900 but also other historical figures in this country as well.

00:05:15.980 Jennifer, thank you so much for joining the show.

00:05:17.440 Thanks for inviting me, Harrison.

00:05:19.580 So why don't we first begin by just addressing these charges?

00:05:22.660 You've written a lot about why Dundas is not guilty of what he's being accused of,

00:05:27.080 but why don't you first address the charges,

00:05:29.000 this accusation that Henry Dundas was involved in perpetuating the transatlantic slave trade?

00:05:35.640 That's something that virtually every historian of British history has said

00:05:40.360 is an unfair accusation, that it was impossible to achieve abolition of the slave trade

00:05:47.060 during the 1790s when there were so many forces lined up against it.

00:05:53.080 Those included the House of Lords, the royal family,

00:05:57.060 and very powerful economic interests who controlled many of the MPs in the House of Commons.

00:06:02.100 Even the most anti-Dundas historians would say that's the case,

00:06:09.340 and the leading anti-Dundas historian who has one peer-reviewed column to his name also says that.

00:06:15.820 So for Toronto to continue to perpetuate this lie is really showing a lack of integrity

00:06:24.720 and respect for historical accuracy.

00:06:27.340 That's the main one.

00:06:29.120 And then to say that he was in the pockets of the slave traders

00:06:36.000 and the owners of plantations in the West Indies, also totally not true.

00:06:42.940 There was a peer-reviewed article that came from another scholar of British history

00:06:46.780 just a few months ago who unearthed some new documents in the archives in the UK.

00:06:52.580 And they show that the planters in the West Indies saw Henry Dundas

00:06:58.220 as their opponent, along with William Wilberforce.

00:07:02.020 In fact, they referred to him as equally their opponent.

00:07:07.760 And they told their agent in London that they needed to defeat the plans of both of them,

00:07:14.700 Wilberforce for immediate abolition,

00:07:17.160 or Henry Dundas for a more gradual process.

00:07:20.440 They were opposed to both.

00:07:21.860 And Henry Dundas was a close friend of William Wilberforce's.

00:07:26.140 Well, maybe not close, but they were neighbors.

00:07:28.740 They frequently socialized together.

00:07:31.160 There are many, many references in Wilberforce's journals

00:07:34.200 to very happy times spent with Henry Dundas at his home,

00:07:39.500 staying overnight, even just, you know, a few days before Christmas,

00:07:43.140 spending two or three days at his home.

00:07:45.320 Um, so to say that he was aligned with those interests is simply not true.

00:07:50.760 And, and historians will agree that, um, the case against him

00:07:55.940 is Berstand's very flimsy evidence.

00:08:00.120 So obviously this name change has nothing to do with slavery

00:08:04.100 because the term Sankofa comes from the Akan tribe

00:08:07.940 who sold slaves and traded slaves for gold.

00:08:11.000 If it had anything to do with slavery, they might've picked something else.

00:08:13.840 So the question I have for you, Jennifer, is, is why are they doing this?

00:08:17.600 What is the motivation behind this?

00:08:20.700 I, uh, I don't understand why they didn't do more research into that name.

00:08:26.020 It kind of smacks of a, of a rushed decision at the very end

00:08:30.500 because they made the decision to choose this name,

00:08:33.580 the committee that was appointed to do this on Tuesday night.

00:08:37.060 And then the motion came before council on Thursday last week.

00:08:41.500 Uh, and that was at the same time that Lydia Chow was putting together

00:08:45.940 these other things around a bailout from the province

00:08:50.540 and then approving the name of Rob Ford Stadium as well.

00:08:55.160 So all these things were happening together.

00:08:56.860 And so it looks like they just said, okay, we, we need to do this now.

00:08:59.920 Which one are we going to pick?

00:09:01.000 Okay.

00:09:01.300 This one sounds the best.

00:09:03.620 Um, I, I mean, I think it's kind of shocking really, because they did have, um,

00:09:08.900 a historian from the university of Toronto who specializes in Atlantic slavery studies,

00:09:16.340 uh, who ought to have known about this.

00:09:18.920 She certainly should have, or, or maybe they didn't care.

00:09:21.580 I, I'm not sure really what was going on there, but I can tell you if they had,

00:09:26.220 for example, chosen an Ojibwe name for the square, um, that would have been taken

00:09:32.400 as honoring the Ojibwe people.

00:09:35.320 So to take the name or take a, uh, a word from this tribe in Africa, in Ghana,

00:09:42.760 and use that honors that tribe in the same way we would by, by choosing indigenous names.

00:09:48.360 And so to say it has nothing to do with slavery, it's just a name.

00:09:51.860 It's just a language that, um, you know, a, a small group of African people spoke.

00:09:58.220 It, it just doesn't stand up.

00:10:00.160 They didn't think it through.

00:10:01.980 It's, it's remarkable.

00:10:03.740 Yeah.

00:10:04.580 It's astonishing, but it also feels as though, I mean, in the case of Ryerson university,

00:10:09.760 they didn't rename, uh, Ryerson university to, uh, to after someone who themselves partook

00:10:16.200 in, in such a, in, in the residential school system, they just erased Egerton Ryerson from

00:10:21.580 history, despite him being a fundamentally good man, despite the actual facts, backing

00:10:26.980 up the claims that he was not what he is accused of.

00:10:29.900 And the same can be said for Dundas, in my opinion, that Dundas is not guilty of what

00:10:34.500 he's being accused of.

00:10:35.300 In fact, the opposite, but he just stands in as history stands in the way of what a lot

00:10:40.620 of people are seeking to do, do in my opinion, to erase part of, uh, part of what is Canadian

00:10:46.080 history.

00:10:46.560 Because of course, as I mentioned before this, Dundas appointed John Graves Simcoe, who passed

00:10:53.000 the first bill in the empire that essentially set in motion, the abolition of slavery.

00:10:57.600 So again, it it's remarkable.

00:10:59.400 I have to ask you, uh, Jennifer, you're a former CBC journalist, and I think the media

00:11:03.940 plays a key role in this, not doing any digging, not doing any research and just accepting the

00:11:09.540 facts that are being presented to us by people who have a political interest in changing these

00:11:14.720 names.

00:11:15.440 What do you make of how the, uh, really the, the mainstream media in this country haven't

00:11:20.400 done their homework and haven't actually reported the facts, the truth about Dundas, but instead

00:11:25.100 of basically handheld this process of eliminating people from history.

00:11:30.580 It's, it has really shocked me, uh, to be on this side of what the media is doing and trying

00:11:36.820 to get the ear of, of key people in the mainstream media, because as you mentioned before, I was

00:11:43.980 a journalist before I worked for the CBC, before that for the Canadian press.

00:11:49.180 And so I had 20 years of experience under my belt, uh, a lot of which was as a political

00:11:54.320 affairs reporter.

00:11:56.040 And it just shocked me to see what people would do, uh, with the information that we were presenting.

00:12:01.480 They would either ignore it or they would distort, they would take a quote that would be out of

00:12:06.280 context and, and not really convey what it was we were saying.

00:12:10.080 If we did ever manage to get their attention, which was very rare, it was so difficult that

00:12:15.780 I actually went to the ombudsman of a couple of major, uh, news outlets in Toronto to complain

00:12:22.440 that, look, we're providing all of this information that shows that what you're printing is inaccurate

00:12:27.200 and no one will pay any attention to it.

00:12:29.540 You know, can you please do something about this?

00:12:32.600 And in both cases, we just got to brush off.

00:12:35.000 It's like, thank you for letting us know.

00:12:36.740 We will certainly keep this in mind going forward.

00:12:38.900 And then they didn't.

00:12:39.700 Of course.

00:12:40.700 Um, it, to me, it looked like they just thought that this was a narrative that advanced the

00:12:48.700 rights of people who deserved to have their rights respected.

00:12:52.260 And so to undermine that was something they were just reluctant to do.

00:12:57.360 So what shocked me was they were really putting themselves in the role of, of activists in

00:13:03.460 a way and, and not journalists.

00:13:05.360 They weren't being fair and balanced.

00:13:08.020 The idea of balance when it came into their stories was, you know, people saying we have

00:13:12.720 to change the name because of this horrible person who delayed the abolition of the slave

00:13:17.200 trade.

00:13:18.120 And then on the other side would be a business person saying, no, I can't afford it.

00:13:22.660 You know, it was nothing to do with the underlying facts, which were patently false in many, many

00:13:29.860 cases.

00:13:30.460 Um, you know, they would take a bits and pieces, you know, cherry picking through bits of

00:13:35.220 evidence in history to, to build a case.

00:13:37.600 And, and I mean, you're a storyteller, I'm a storyteller.

00:13:41.020 We all know that if you want to tell a certain story, you can find ways to tell that story.

00:13:45.920 And I just saw that happening over and over again.

00:13:48.320 Um, in, in a way that was really appalling to me, I really felt that the media was letting

00:13:53.480 people down.

00:13:54.860 It was an interesting story.

00:13:56.420 What our committee was doing.

00:13:58.520 We were a committee of, uh, we started out mostly family members, uh, with the Dundas name.

00:14:04.160 Uh, but we were soon joined by other people who were very concerned about what was going

00:14:08.620 on in their communities across Southern Ontario.

00:14:11.500 There was Dundas, Ontario, London, Ontario, Whitby, Woodstock, Ingersoll, many places that

00:14:18.200 had the name Dundas in, uh, their locations, um, and they're very concerned about this sweeping

00:14:24.860 across the province.

00:14:25.860 So we had historians, um, just local people who were interested, who, who offered to help.

00:14:31.940 And it became a very interesting project to, to work on with these people.

00:14:37.340 And I think that's a great story.

00:14:40.100 You know, even if, even if they thought we were wrong or off base or, or if we were racist

00:14:45.740 or whatever, it was still an interesting story.

00:14:48.540 We weren't, of course, we were interested in historical integrity and having the truth

00:14:54.540 told about Henry Dundas.

00:14:56.540 But we were just seen as, oh, you can't trust what they're saying.

00:14:59.400 It's just the family.

00:15:01.540 And, uh, yeah, it was super disappointing.

00:15:04.180 Even the Toronto star, I spent a lot of time with the Toronto star for one major spread that

00:15:10.480 they did a few months ago.

00:15:12.940 And the only quote they took from everything I told them about the history of Henry Dundas

00:15:18.980 was to say, we're not racists, you know, like, yeah, it was so

00:15:26.440 disappointing.

00:15:27.780 Yeah.

00:15:28.180 So the last question I have for you, Jennifer, is who's next on the historical chopping block?

00:15:33.940 Um, you know, we even have towns of Simcoe as well.

00:15:37.080 Simcoe himself was an abolitionist, a hard charge to try and defeat, but who's next?

00:15:42.880 Because I know that it's not just going to stop at Dundas.

00:15:44.960 We've already seen it.

00:15:47.060 Well, you know what?

00:15:48.100 Staff will not let that information slip.

00:15:51.700 Um, staff in my view and my experience have been devious about this from the start, and

00:15:59.360 they were, they're not going to tip their hand in a way that's going to prejudice their

00:16:02.840 ability to get the changes they want on the urban landscape, the geographical history of

00:16:10.340 Toronto.

00:16:10.840 Toronto, they have their list of things that they want to do, and they will do it, and

00:16:16.600 then they will spring it on the public without notice, as they have done all along.

00:16:21.940 Like, they had, they promised in the beginning, they promised, I mean, they set out a plan for

00:16:27.400 public consultation in the beginning, which council approved.

00:16:31.760 So council approved the decision to rename the street on the basis of this plan that

00:16:38.000 staff put forward, which was based on broad public consultation, town halls, email, um,

00:16:45.140 a phone in line, uh, just various meetings, various opportunities for the public to have

00:16:50.780 their say.

00:16:52.200 They hired a consultant who said, oh no, don't do that because you'll just get a bunch of

00:16:56.740 racists coming out of the woodwork and it'll just be ugly and hurtful to the, you know, 0.96

00:17:01.760 the black population of the city. 0.97

00:17:04.160 So instead of going to council or even the mayor and saying, look, we have this advice.

00:17:09.440 We think it's not a good idea to go ahead with public consultation.

00:17:12.800 Now, what would you advise?

00:17:15.620 They just canceled it and they didn't tell council.

00:17:18.380 They didn't tell the public, they didn't tell anybody except their small circle of insiders

00:17:24.360 that public consultation was off the table.

00:17:27.860 So then the next thing that happened was they approve the, uh, the recommendation to rename

00:17:34.460 the street.

00:17:35.340 And what's supposed to happen is this community advisory committee will put together a short

00:17:39.340 list of names.

00:17:40.460 And then the public will have the opportunity to comment on the short list of names.

00:17:44.780 So again, we were, we didn't think they would try and pull this against us again.

00:17:48.840 So we're waiting for the opportunity to comment on the names and, and use that as a way to

00:17:54.180 further bring attention to what we were saying.

00:17:57.480 Um, and instead what they did was they came forward without a staff report, which is very

00:18:02.220 irregular for a project that's been in the works for over three years on such a controversial

00:18:08.120 and important issue.

00:18:10.440 Uh, they brought it on in as a walk on motion, a no notice motion, uh, to council and took

00:18:17.160 everybody by surprise, the public and even other counselors.

00:18:20.720 So counselors were then in a position of not being able to debate the motion.

00:18:25.220 They just had to use their five minutes to get some very basic information about what

00:18:30.420 was behind the motion and get the details and then make a decision on, on how to vote.

00:18:35.960 It wasn't fair to anybody.

00:18:37.520 And it was anti-democratic because they had promised public, public consultation and they

00:18:43.260 used the, it was an abusive process in my view to put this before council as an urgent matter.

00:18:49.580 I mean, they knew this was coming for how long and now all of a sudden it's urgent and the

00:18:54.800 budget process is going to extend for another two months.

00:18:58.260 It was just another lie.

00:19:00.140 Basically there was nothing urgent about that motion, but it was a way to avoid, um,

00:19:06.500 jeopardizing what they wanted to do because if they had put it before council in the normal

00:19:12.140 course, what would have happened was members of the public could have made written submissions

00:19:16.240 and come in to make personal, uh, deputations to council.

00:19:20.900 Uh, and, and, and so all of those opportunities were lost and, uh, it was railroaded.

00:19:29.860 Yeah.

00:19:31.040 Deeply, deeply undemocratic, sinister.

00:19:33.400 I think our audience can see where this is all headed.

00:19:36.340 Uh, Jennifer, thank you so much for joining us.

00:19:38.640 Where can our audience find your work and find you on social media?

00:19:49.060 about, uh, various aspects of Henry Dundas broken down into bite-sized pieces, but also

00:19:54.560 with a link to a larger paper that we've, a research paper that we've done that has all

00:19:58.480 the links to the underlying evidence that we've relied on.

00:20:01.740 And it also sets out, um, and provides links to leading authorities, leading historians around

00:20:08.280 the world and, and in Toronto and Canada who have commented on this.

00:20:14.020 It's at, uh, the website medium.com and we are HD.
