Why is the far-left becoming more brazen in their attempts to censor True North? Is it because they are angry at the removal of an interview conducted by True North about the censorship of the Indian residential school system? Or is it because there are still no bodies found at the sites of former Indian residential schools?

00:00:00.000 well last week was quite interesting for us at true north we must really be
00:00:10.520 angering the powers that be because we started off the week with an email from
00:00:14.160 spotify notifying us that an interview i had conducted about the censorship of
00:00:18.840 the residential school system was censored by spotify it was completely
00:00:23.520 deleted off the podcast platform all of this because it apparently promoted
00:00:28.280 quote hate speech against indigenous people and this censorship this news was
00:00:34.140 celebrated by members of the ndp and i mean that literally they were actually
00:00:38.100 publicly celebrating the censorship by big tech of an interview conducted by true
00:00:44.320 north and then only a few days later not to be outdone by her fellow ndp
00:00:48.800 colleagues another far-left socialist in the house of commons publicly asked at a
00:00:54.660 national defense committee meeting how true north and our friends at rebel news
00:00:59.360 could be defeated how do we do that she asked they're making videos they're
00:01:06.200 they're combining with rebel media does the same true north does the same um we
00:01:11.440 know so that's part of that larger strategy um
00:01:15.840 what responsibility do we have here um in canada to to to defeat that internally
00:01:26.900 as well how how do we how do we do that now i'm really not sure what we ever did
00:01:30.960 to the ndp that has made them so angry but now that they are coming after us like
00:01:35.080 this i think it means that we are flying over the target we'll get into all of this
00:01:39.060 and more later on in the show but before we do please be sure to drop a like on
00:01:42.840 this video help us out by subscribing to the true north youtube channel
00:01:45.420 and the comment question for the episode is this why is the far left becoming more
00:01:50.640 brazen in their attempts to censor true north let me know your answer in the
00:01:54.780 comments below and let's get in a few weeks ago i conducted an interview with
00:01:58.780 rodney clifton a professor at the university of manitoba
00:02:01.560 and a senior fellow at the frontier center for public policy the subject of the
00:02:06.020 interview was on the censorship of the residential school debate more
00:02:09.660 specifically about the calls to criminalize to amend the criminal code to
00:02:14.580 make it illegal to commit so-called residential school denialism the
00:02:19.660 interview at the time didn't receive much attention it wasn't one of our most
00:02:22.980 watched interviews it kind of flew under the radar but several weeks later
00:02:26.540 after some left-wing activists who pretend to be journalists picked up on this
00:02:31.140 interview and made a big issue of this we received an email from spotify telling
00:02:35.980 us that this interview was deleted from the platform because it promoted hate
00:02:40.640 speech the irony of course was lost on the left-wing activists who demanded this
00:02:44.880 interview to be censored despite the subject of the interview being this exact
00:02:48.680 issue right that the entire interview was about how it will be illegal you talk
00:02:53.020 about not only the fact that there have been no bodies no remains found at the
00:02:58.620 sites of former indian residential schools but also to repeat the claims of
00:03:03.140 former students themselves that there were in fact good things that happened at
00:03:06.740 these schools my guest on the show rodney clifton is not just a professor and
00:03:12.860 not just a senior fellow at a think tank he worked at and lived at an indian
00:03:18.900 residential school in the 70s he married his wife who attended the
00:03:24.420 residential school system and so you could say that unlike most of the people
00:03:28.540 who talk about this issue today rodney clifton actually knows what went on he
00:03:33.420 has his own eyewitness accounts of the indian residential school system and by
00:03:38.760 presenting those accounts by presenting his side of the story it is now
00:03:42.840 considered hate speech in 2022 as you will remember several first nations across
00:03:47.920 the country made claims that they had found remains of children buried in mass
00:03:52.540 graves at the sites of former indian residential schools to date not a
00:03:56.440 single bone not a single grave has been reported at these supposed mass graves
00:04:01.240 and furthermore the first nations who made those initial claims have since
00:04:05.800 revised their wording to make it clear that they haven't found anything that
00:04:09.640 ground penetrating radar has only found anomalies in the ground however
00:04:13.540 despite the fact that no remains have yet to be found to back up the absurd
00:04:18.400 claims of mass graves at indian residential schools last year the
00:04:23.020 federal government appointed independent special interlocutor on
00:04:26.620 missing children and burial sites kimberly murray recommended to the federal
00:04:31.840 government to criminalize residential school denialism urgent
00:04:37.000 consideration should be given to legal mechanisms to address denialism including
00:04:42.400 the implementation of both civil and criminal sanctions this would include
00:04:47.740 making it illegal to say that residential schools didn't exist which I don't think
00:04:52.120 anybody actually claims but it would also lump in with that statement that there
00:04:58.540 were good things that happened at these schools and that there weren't any
00:05:02.020 remains found in these supposed mass graves so the federal government
00:05:06.880 appointed representative on this issue proposed to make it illegal to say the
00:05:12.400 truth which is that there have been no remains found in the ground and that there
00:05:18.460 have been several accounts of former students at residential schools who have
00:05:22.540 very positive things to say about the residential school system this is not
00:05:26.800 whitewashing the problems at these schools this is not denying that nothing bad happened
00:05:31.660 at these schools quite the opposite actually the residential school system is a scar on the 0.90
00:05:36.640 history of Canada the abuse that many students went through is abhorrent and
00:05:41.560 terrible and cannot be justified in any way but that does not mean that we can't
00:05:46.120 say as well that there were good things that happened at these schools it's not me
00:05:50.200 saying that I didn't go to those schools obviously it's the actual students
00:05:54.020 themselves so that was the subject of the interview that it would be deeply
00:05:57.520 dangerous for the federal government to criminalize the truth and that
00:06:02.120 interview has now been deleted on Spotify it is however up in its
00:06:06.520 entirety on X it is still up on rumble and YouTube so in a way all of this kind
00:06:12.880 of promoted our interview and now more people are gonna see it and maybe have a
00:06:16.780 different opinion on what's going on here some of these positive accounts come
00:06:21.280 from one of Canada's most famous indigenous people Thompson highway the
00:06:25.400 novelist musician and playwright Thompson highway famously said of his time at the
00:06:30.980 residential school system that it was nine of the happiest years of his life as he says
00:06:35.380 there are many successful people today that went to those schools and have
00:06:39.820 brilliant careers and are very functional people very happy people like myself I
00:06:43.840 have a thriving international career and it wouldn't have happened without that
00:06:47.440 school he's talking about the residential school system and it wasn't just
00:06:50.440 Thompson highway who was said positive things about the Indian residential
00:06:53.620 school system pointing out only one person's experience would be cherry-picking I
00:06:58.720 also want to highlight the comments of former Dene Inuvik chief CC Hodgson
00:07:03.940 Macaulay Hodgson Macaulay also described the residential school system as some of the
00:07:10.420 best years of her life as the first female chief of one of the 23 bands in the
00:07:15.100 Northwest Territories her opinion is kind of important on this issue at least I
00:07:19.660 would think so she says many former students were coming forward with their good and
00:07:24.340 positive side of the residential school experiences and they are planning to
00:07:28.360 start a committee of elders to make public the positive side of the
00:07:31.540 residential school system they all agree that Canadians must be made aware of the
00:07:35.380 positive stories that in fact was a letter to Senator Lynn Bayek when she was
00:07:40.900 eventually kicked out of the Senate for talking about the other side of the
00:07:45.160 residential school story in fact in the TRC Commission report several positive
00:07:50.620 stories about the residential school system were written down and put into
00:07:54.640 that report meaning that if the government gets their way in
00:07:58.420 criminalizing so-called denialism well then part of the stories written in the
00:08:03.580 TRC Commission report will be made illegal as Kimberly Murray herself said last 0.94
00:08:08.620 year about what I have just committed the terrible act of residential school
00:08:14.020 denialism she says that it is harmful and violence and calculated these were her
00:08:19.480 words last year many international experts point out that denialism is the
00:08:24.340 last step in genocide deny that it happens denialism is violence denialism is
00:08:32.620 calculated denialism is harmful and denialism is hate and it was previous
00:08:40.000 Attorney General David Lametti who said he was open to amending the criminal code to
00:08:44.660 add denialism to a list of offenses I know that that Kimberly Murray has begun to 1.00
00:08:50.840 address this in her in her interim report and I know that my colleague Mark Mark
00:08:55.760 Miller has responded to MP Leah Gazan in the House of Commons when she asked the
00:09:00.200 question I have had it raised to me personally I'm open I'm open to all I'm
00:09:07.640 open to all possibilities here including a legal including a legal solution and
00:09:12.740 outlawing it another act of denialism would be to say that there were no
00:09:16.760 murders of indigenous children at residential schools of which there is
00:09:20.980 no evidence to back that up there is no evidence to say that any student at a
00:09:24.440 residential school was murdered despite what many people have tried to tell us
00:09:29.000 certainly many students did die there were diseases at these schools but there
00:09:33.740 was not a single piece of evidence to back up that any murders of students took
00:09:38.420 place and yet we are told to accept that this residential school system was a
00:09:44.480 genocide in our country in fact it was NDP member of Parliament Leah Gazan who got
00:09:50.420 the entire House of Commons to unanimously agree that the residential school system
00:09:54.980 was a genocide in the last session I put forward a unanimous consent motion 0.88
00:09:59.900 recognizing what happened in residential schools as an act of genocide I was 0.79
00:10:05.180 shocked when members of this House chose not to support my motion confirming that
00:10:10.040 residential school denial is still a reality we need to do better we need to
00:10:16.520 find a way forward that honors the truth about what happened in this country
00:10:20.420 especially in light of Pope Francis's acknowledgement that what took place in
00:10:24.980 residential schools was in fact genocide speaking of the NDP after Spotify
00:10:30.180 managed to have this true north interview removed NDP house leader Peter Julian
00:10:36.240 went on Twitter and said great journalism great work this is amazing stuff we just
00:10:41.820 love censorship it's important to realize that censoring any contradictory
00:10:47.520 opinions to that of the pre-approved government narrative of a specific
00:10:51.780 historical event is required it is a must that's because of course it's always the
00:10:58.380 people who try to censor opinions that are on the right side of history right it's
00:11:02.400 always the people that want to shut down other opinions on an issue who are
00:11:06.060 always right and it was only a few days later I should mention that NDP member of
00:11:11.700 Parliament Lindsay Matheson at the National Defense Committee decided to ask the
00:11:17.880 question how true north and rebel news could be defeated because of course there is
00:11:24.240 nothing more pressing to Canada's national security than defeating true north in 0.99
00:11:29.220 terms of even just like last week we saw that far right start up it's called tenant
00:11:33.720 media it was the front for for prudent propaganda they've been promoting very
00:11:39.360 anti-ukrainian messages they they do so about vaccines residential schools like you 0.99
00:11:46.500 said anti-lgbtq plus attacks anti-trans attacks there they're making videos there
00:11:55.260 they're combining with rebel media does the same true north does the same we know so
00:12:01.320 that's part of that larger strategy what responsibility do we have here in Canada to
00:12:12.500 to to defeat that internally as well how how do we how do we do that you know who Linda
00:12:19.880 Matheson and the NDP aren't trying to defeat well it's the news outlets that take money from the
00:12:25.100 government it's all the news outlets that tell you how far right you are and how dangerous you are
00:12:29.840 and tell you that you need to be silenced and condemned for your hate speech those are the
00:12:35.380 outlets that don't need to be defeated those are the outlets that need to be promoted and protected
00:12:39.240 and given more taxpayer money meanwhile true north rebel other alternative media that dare to speak
00:12:46.680 out against these people that call them out for their nonsense that actually tell the other side
00:12:51.640 of the story like the residential school debate that have the courage to talk about those issues well we
00:12:58.680 are the ones that need to be censored we are the ones that need to be defeated don't forget about bill c63
00:13:04.840 the federal government's proposed online harms bill that could put you in jail for life for posting hate
00:13:11.480 propaganda it could put you under house arrest it could force you to wear a tracking device for your
00:13:17.080 commentary on social media it could force you to pay tens of thousands of dollars and having a criminal
00:13:22.280 record for committing hate speech against a protected class as determined by the canadian human rights
00:13:28.760 tribunal the censorship war is real they are coming for independent news and they are coming for your
00:13:34.760 free speech and unlike in previous years the left don't seem to care about how this looks anymore
00:13:41.880 they are now openly celebrating the censorship on social media they are now openly asking at a national
00:13:47.880 defense committee how to defeat independent news outlets as if somehow true north is a threat to national
00:13:54.680 security they are now trying to criminalize the truth and they are now trying to find a way to put
00:14:00.680 you in jail for life for committing so-called hate propaganda for commentary on social media i wish this
00:14:08.280 was all a nightmare but this nightmare is real and we are all living through it all right everyone that's
