It's National Hug a Newsperson Day, and we're here for it! Join us as we celebrate the day with a little bit of history and a whole lot of giggles. Featuring special guest, Drea Humphrey.
00:27:39.260We will support you in understanding what happened and being there to make sure we all understand the truth of what happened at residential school.
00:27:47.940Mr. Speaker, I was a lawyer for many years on the front lines with survivors and their claims going forward,
00:27:53.940and I saw how hard it was for them to get their stories believed and heard through the justice system.
00:28:00.660This member has repeatedly called upon us to deny the course that the Law Society is teaching lawyers.
00:28:09.660That is an important thing for us to uphold in this House.
00:28:12.660I know that the members across the way, and a lot of us, a lot of us in this House support me in condemning that question and standing by survivors,
00:28:20.660and I hope we would all stand to do that.
00:28:42.660Mr. Speaker, I can go toe-to-toe with any lawyer.
00:28:51.280I did work with Aboriginal children for seven years as a young offender defence attorney,
00:28:57.000perhaps even spent more time doing that work than any of you.
00:29:01.340Mr. Speaker, my questions are not about feelings, they are about facts.
00:29:06.040Does the Premier have a list of facts that British Columbians must not speak lest they
00:30:03.780Literally, there is so much to unpack.
00:30:05.780I'll start with saying, boy, did they mess with the wrong politician with Dallas Brody.
00:30:10.760If those of you don't know the background of what happened, maybe you're not in British
00:30:14.180Columbia or what have you, but our Conservative Party of British Columbia, Dallas Brody was serving
00:30:20.420there and in that duty of being the critic to the Attorney General, she spoke out about how there is a lawsuit from lawyers who are being, one in particular, Jim Heller, who's been smeared as a residential school denier for simply wanting the accurate phrasing in the mandatory training for lawyers,
00:30:49.420in British Columbia, that is still claiming that 215 children's remains were discovered at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, something we debunked, you know, in our documentary three years ago, and questioned immediately in my first report from the grounds there about how that was even possible to say with GPR.
00:31:11.280And so, in that capacity, she called it out, and she got these calls to be let go, and unfortunately, if you look up my report, what happened to John Rustad, who's the leader of that party, and why did he lie about Dallas Brody, you'll see that he caved.
00:31:28.580He caved to the identity politics, kicked her out, and then two MLAs, you know, the couple of claps behind her, followed.
00:31:35.400Now, what is so scary about this is she is pointing out that there are calls to criminalize the accurate speech that she did, which is just say that there have been zero bodies, and, you know, why is the law society avoiding that?
00:31:51.160That calls to criminalize that type of speech, including my reports, is not anything new, but now it's going straight to elected officials, which we've saw in Quesnel, BC, too.
00:32:05.580So it's a very serious thing. And then you have the Attorney General, who admittedly was a lawyer for many years, wanting residential school disinformation to continue to the lawyers.
00:32:18.940She twists the reality to the public and claims that MLA Dallas Brody is calling for the whole course to be, you know, gone entirely.
00:32:28.820No, they are calling for the truth to be had. But something that should be said is out of the 12 hours of mandatory, you know, training that you need to keep up your license or whatever you would call it as a lawyer, 50% of that is focused on Indigenous matters.
00:32:47.500So out of all of the things to do with law, it is disproportional that 50% is mandatory. And when you call out disinformation in that mandatory course, you are smeared as a residential school denier.
00:33:00.520And there are calls from lobby groups, like the First Nation Leadership Council, to actually have you criminalize.
00:33:07.420So I actually have an interview coming up with Ms. Dallas Brody that you're not going to want to miss. That's a very good interview.
00:33:13.480But I also have an exclusive interview with a Kamloops band member coming up because Nikki Sharma, who claims that she's standing for the residential school survivors, is also avoiding the fact that there are people who attended residential schools and have a different take.
00:33:32.340They don't even consider themselves survivors. So that will be proven as well.
00:33:36.300And it's not to diminish bad things that happen. Nobody is denying residential schools or that horrible things happen or that it was horrible for the students and families that were taken unwillingly from parents.
00:33:49.200There are many parents who signed up their children. No one is disputing any of that.
00:33:53.440But enough is enough. It's time to stand for reality.
00:33:56.200And if our MLAs are getting kicked out of parties for shedding light on stuff like this, it just shows how serious of an issue this is, let alone the 248 churches that have burnt since that false 2021 claim.
00:34:12.500You know, it's terrifying to me, because anyone that's in law, you think, Drea, they would subscribe to the whole concept of Madam Justice, you know, the statue with the scales in one hand, the sword in the other, but most importantly, the blindfold, that everything is judged on its own merits.
00:34:33.880It's all about evidence. It's all about evidence. It's not about feelings.
00:34:37.880And this idea that they're going after her to criminalize factual statements, it just brings to mind, you know, near the ending of 1984, when Winston Smith is at the Ministry of Love, which is the last place you want to be, because it's actually the torture chamber.
00:34:54.460And he's being interrogated. And it's how many fingers, Winston, and he says three, because it is three, and he's tortured, because the answer they want is four.
00:35:07.200And then when he says four, he's tortured again, because you see, Winston, sometimes it's three, sometimes it's four, and sometimes it's five.
00:35:14.260It's like the truth is fluid. And this is what we're seeing here.
00:35:18.680This is a woman calling out a hoax. There are, you know, the chief justice has called it out.
00:35:23.000Band members have called it out. And yet she is supposed to censor herself and go along with this lie.
00:35:31.820Well, and let's not forget the millions upon millions of tax dollars that have gone out to the Kamloops ban with the intention for them to properly investigate, including excavation, which they did not do.
00:35:43.460And the bans that, you know, we heard, we have unmarked graves, we have unmarked graves, we have unmarked graves.
00:35:49.680Not a single body has ever been discovered, except for the bans that said, rightfully so, we have a graveyard here.
00:35:56.720And there's a mix of people that were buried there. And there, it was marked.
00:36:00.620But over time, the wooden crosses broke down. And we'd like some money about that.
00:36:04.520Anybody who had sort of a nefarious claim, zero bodies. And out of the 14 or so who have excavated, they don't say nothing.
00:36:13.180There's a few articles. Nobody makes a big deal out of these huge falsehoods that our attorney general, Nikki Sharma, wants to just be taken as fact without evidence.
00:36:23.160And it's a full circle moment. So we've talked about how the BC conservatives kicked out Dallas Brody after the ballot backlash for this.
00:36:31.920But in previous reports, I've explained how much of or significant part of the rise to that party has to do with Aaron Gunn.
00:36:42.400He's a documentarian who was running for leadership with the BC Liberals, which was led by Kevin Falcon, now called BC United.
00:36:51.700And when he was running for that, he was cancelled out of that party for so-called, you know, going against the politically correct narrative of residential schools.
00:37:05.800So John Rostead knows that history because after that, Aaron Gunn was very influential in helping that party, you know, get to where it is and other people as well.
00:37:14.180And he did not stand for the truth with Dallas Brody. And now look what's happening.
00:37:19.760I've covered many people, professionals who are getting cancelled this way, even a Supreme Court judge was called a residential school deniers.
00:37:27.040But now we have Aaron Gunn from North Island, a very promising candidate who's running again for politics, as he should.
00:37:35.660He's got a knack for it for the federal conservative parties.
00:37:38.680And the same groups, you know, calling to go after MLA Dallas Brody are now coming for him for a 2020 tweet that he did.
00:37:49.220So you can see this article with Czech News. They're calling for him to come down.
00:37:53.900If you scroll down a little bit, I think the actual 2020 tweet is in there, but essentially he says something along the lines of he refutes in 2020 that it was a genocide, that the residential school system was a genocide.
00:38:08.980Now, remember what genocide actually means. Remember that so far, these unmarked grave claims are not actually manifesting hundreds of missing children, which, by the way, that amount was never reported missing from the school.
00:38:23.200And even in the truth and reconciliation report, it does not say genocide. It says cultural genocide. Big difference.
00:38:34.020But after these false claims came out or unproven claims, what did our parliament do?
00:38:41.000Unanimously, the Conservative Party as well all stood in favor of, you know, calling them, our country now calls this a genocide without the conclusive evidence of such.
00:38:54.120Much of it is oral testimonies. And that's actually paved the way for the UN to get its hands on this situation, which is a whole other story.
00:39:02.140You can find out all of my reports or most of them at KamloopsDocumentary.com.
00:39:07.380And you can donate to help my investigations on this too, because I don't think Canadians realize how significant of an issue this is and what it's all connected to when it comes to government overreach.
00:39:19.220Because remember, First Nation bans are governments.
00:39:23.220Well, you know, if the UN is denouncing it, well, that carries so much weight, doesn't it, Drea?
00:39:28.080This is the same UN, I take it, that was hiring Hamas employees that were actually trying to engage in a real genocide of the Jewish people.
00:39:38.660Incredible. Before we move on from this subject, one last thing, because it should be noted.
00:39:42.640When Ms. Sharma was criticizing Ms. Brody and her body of evidence to justify that there was a mass grave there, she mentioned the documentary Sugarcane.
00:39:56.200Drea, what do we know about Sugarcane?
00:39:58.500Well, I have to give credits to Michelle, and again, you can find information about this at our website.
00:40:07.380Michelle Sterling, you can look up her on X.
00:40:23.020You can find her on X, and you will very easily.
00:40:25.400Yeah, she's got a couple of articles about it, where it really just, again, points out the truth.
00:40:30.760Things are just being said with no evidence.
00:40:32.740Things are contradicting evidence that we have in historical documents.
00:40:37.340And yet you have our legislator screening it as though it's fact to all of the political leaders.
00:40:44.560Inside of the actual legislator, they are screening residential disinformation.
00:40:50.220And that's not to say that everything isn't true.
00:40:52.060And one other thing we should quickly say is that Aaron Gunn has responded, of course, to the second go-around of trying to smear him as a racist.
00:41:04.080And he points out all of the things that he has done, all of the times that he has, you know, spoken out against bad things that happened in the residential school,
00:41:13.840and who he's sort of interviewed about these things in his documentaries.
00:41:18.060So, again, it's just a trumped-up situation to try to get out a strong candidate.
00:41:23.320But they keep using this same narrative about anybody who says anything true about residential schools.
00:41:31.700Anybody who says anything like Mark Carney's father, who, if you pull up my article there, was a principal at an Indian day school in the Northwest Territories,
00:41:46.340a well-respected historian who documented the good things about residential school from firsthand experience.
00:41:56.860And he also talked about some bad stuff that happened, too.
00:41:59.840But yet nobody with people, the Quesnel, B.C. mayor had protests, calls, and was censured because his wife handed out a book that said unpopular truths on residential schools.
00:42:17.720Yet no one from the mainstream media or these cancel culture mobsters with the First Nation leadership councillor are calling Mark Carney even the descendant of a so-called residential school denier.
00:42:32.640And so we have to stop falling for these tactics of racism or residential school denialism to try to censor truth and to try to further political advantages.
00:42:44.140Drea, a hypothetical question for you.
00:42:46.080If it were Pierre Polyev's father that was tied to an Indian day school, what kind of coverage are we seeing?
00:42:54.200Is it still on the front page today, perhaps?
00:43:55.720They're the result of strong, representative public broadcasting.
00:44:02.460CBC, Radio Canada is especially vital for Canadians in rural and remote areas where it's often their only source of local information.
00:44:13.160Canadians rely on it to keep up with what's happening.
00:44:16.820And when disasters happen, such as forest fires, floods, or storms that threaten their communities, public broadcasting is crucial as a vital source of information to help people to stay safe.
00:44:30.960We also count on public broadcasting to discover up-and-coming Canadian musicians, creators, storytellers, whose work might otherwise get buried by the avalanche of American content on social media.
00:44:47.420Drea, does Mark Carney need a calendar?
00:44:50.300I mean, I think those words might have been relevant in, oh, I don't know, 1945, but in 2025, you know, because see, along the line in that timeline, this little thing came along called the Internet.
00:45:02.780And now we have conduits for remote areas for the Internet, like, you know, Starlink.
00:45:09.160Oh, but of course, that's tied to Elon Musk, and he's persona non grata on the left.
00:45:16.340I mean, what an unfortunate example to give right off the hop of why we need CBC.
00:45:23.800Well, you got half of that word correct, Mr. Carney.
00:45:26.580And also, when he dovetails to Mike Myers, his new Hollywood best friend, you know, I might be wrong, but I can't remember, in recent memory, Mike Myers being on any CBC program, unless CBC is playing old Austin Powers movies.
00:45:50.000It's so great in Canada that you don't live here, you don't have your businesses here, we get it.
00:45:58.080But yeah, and of all the, out of all the famous people, it's kind of like, oh, I, like, a lot of people, especially the younger ones, I don't even know if they know who he is, but the CBC, if everything he says is true, okay, let the people decide.
00:46:13.560Stop taking our tax dollars and funding that.
00:46:28.060If the CBC is so crucial, and it is so needed, and it is so important, and it is so beloved, then why not adopt, well, the funding model for Rebel News?
00:47:07.760I think for a while there, we'd see some of the more woke businesses, you know, donate.
00:47:12.440But what people don't understand, it's not even just the money that they directly receive.
00:47:17.460It's also the money they receive in ads.
00:47:19.740Like, especially if you look at ads that play in British Columbia, you'll see that the provincial government is predominantly behind almost all of the ads that are playing on the news outlets.
00:47:31.840So that's another way that it's like, oh, we can't fight the hand that feeds us.
00:47:35.540They're sponsoring, you know, all of our ad breaks to talk about this and that.
00:47:43.180And, of course, that's when propaganda can have its strength.
00:47:46.340But, you know, you raise a great point there about the advertisers, Drea, because not only does the CBC get $1.4 billion, you know, as part of its annual budget, but if it's government agencies and bureaucracies advertising on the CBC, that's double dipping.
00:48:05.160Because who funds these government agencies and bureaucracies?
00:48:53.320That is why we started a company that embodies the ethos of men's lives matter too.
00:48:58.900With products that aren't designed to be gender neutral or used by people with pronouns or products at Rumble, our products at Rumble are designed and built for men by men, period.
00:49:12.940So if you struggle with low energy, mood swings, or hair loss, or you need to perform better at the gym, maybe in bed, as those of you know who've been tuning in, apparently David the Menzoid Menzies doesn't need that.
00:49:28.880But I don't know why I know this information.
00:49:34.600And so maybe in bed, I'll cover quicker after.
00:49:43.880Throw out all your other garbage supplements and try animal organs.
00:49:48.180They are traditionally the most nutrient-rich supplements on the planet, but our bison organs are a step above.
00:49:55.560The grass-fed, non-vaccinated bison are a species where the weak are allowed to die and only the strongest survive.
00:50:05.160So here is our commitment to you from men who have real confidence in their products.
00:51:26.560And because we have to wrap this up too sharp, and because, well, I mentioned transgender, and here we have something in your wheelhouse again, Drea.
00:51:35.840Drea, B.C. Tribunal awards 7,500 to trans-identifying individual offended by a meme depicting them as masculine?
00:51:50.980Drea, me being a bear of very little brain, I am so confused just reading the headline.
00:53:07.340And the judge basically said that it caused harm.
00:53:10.300There was harm associated with sharing the image.
00:53:12.780And it does not come from anything particularly explicit in the graphic.
00:53:18.680So, from everything that I read, the graphic wasn't, like, indecent or anything like that.
00:53:24.140But that it's harmful because it was dehumanizing.
00:53:27.780And apparently, the judge also spoke about how in there, the person, the complainant was against, BT, I will call that person, did misgender AQ quite a few times.
00:53:44.220Now, the judge, well, judge is not the right word, I don't think, actually.
00:53:50.660Yeah, the vice chair of the kangaroo court.
00:53:54.280They also pointed out that when AQ wanted to have, I think it was $25,000 for, like, the time spent on doing the application and everything.
00:54:06.040The chair said, well, a lot of time was wasted because you used AI so much to do your documents that it included false, like, false things and just, like, needless case things that had, like, nothing to do.
00:54:21.460So, basically, they said, no, you're not having $25,000.
00:54:24.240But they did rule, I think it was $2,500.
00:54:29.320So, a total of $7,500 this person got, essentially, for a meme meme.
00:54:38.240Well, Dre, the way I look at it, this is someone who is potentially mentally ill gaming the system and the system acquiescing to the gaming.
00:54:47.340And what's really disturbing is that I thought concepts like parody were protected.
00:54:54.240And I'm talking about whether it's a satire in Mad Magazine or a political cartoonist, you know, using extreme examples to make his case.
00:55:06.640Does this set a precedent that you better watch out because some kook out there might take you to a human rights tribunal?
00:55:14.760We keep seeing this over and over, and I think you're absolutely right.
00:55:18.560Free speech, freedom of expression is a two-tier system in our country, unfortunately, especially when it comes to these activist-led tribunals, which, by the way, I will let you guys know, if you don't already know,
00:55:32.500we are being dragged through the BC Human Rights Tribunal by a violent trans activist named Jessica Simpson, better known as Jonathan Yaniv, who is calling our fact-based reports hate.
00:55:49.100And within the British Columbia, BC Human Rights Code, yes, Section 7 says that you can't publish something that could lead to a protected person to having people have contempt against them.
00:56:05.440So if this person was sexually inappropriate with minors, which they were, and we talk about that, and you find contempt for that person or you're angry at that person respectfully, apparently that is hate.
00:56:20.240So please support the thousands of dollars we've already had to spend.
00:56:24.660I think we're at $10,000 just preparing for this.
00:56:27.360We would really appreciate your donations because we will not back down on exposing anything, any injustice like this.
00:56:34.840And this person has been racist to me and threatened my family.
00:57:11.100The transgenders are clearly a protected political or cultural class, whatever you want to call them.
00:57:19.740And it is a double standard and it's despicable.
00:57:23.380We have to stand up to these kind of reprobates because I'm done with it.
00:57:29.500I just wish the authorities, whether it was law enforcement or human rights tribunals, which I believe should be abolished, didn't give, look at this monster, these kind of people, a platform.
00:58:17.720Thank God it's TGIF, as I like to say, on a Friday.
00:58:22.760In the meantime, on this National Hug a Newsperson Day, I think I'll go and hug the coat rack, which Ezra has given me permission for it to do.
