00:12:27.680When somebody dies at such a young age, it's a painful loss for the family, a painful loss for society in general.
00:12:35.620And it breaks my heart that that happened.
00:12:37.340And I want to share a story with you quickly, Shadow of Boat.
00:12:39.760Hang on, Mike, before you do, because I know that you're going to share this story.
00:12:44.180But let me just ask, usually when we're talking about any death, if it's a bit off normal like this one is, you don't want to discuss it publicly out of respect for the family.
00:13:03.120But you did mention before you even started that you have the permission to do so from his grandmother.
00:13:09.900But let me ask, let me ask, what was that like meeting with that family today?
00:13:17.520No, it was really hard to walk in that room, first of all, because I know that I'm going to deal with a family.
00:13:24.000And there was a few people that had come in who lost a 12-year-old.
00:13:27.400And that was heartbreaking for me alone as a father.
00:13:30.660And to walk in that room just takes a lot of courage.
00:13:32.920And honestly, before I walk in that room, I say a prayer and I ask the good Lord to put the proper words in my mouth.
00:13:40.780Because if you say one wrong thing, it can make what happened 100 times worse.
00:13:46.280And I went in and I sat with the family and I offered my condolences and I proceeded to do the funeral arrangements.
00:13:52.680And then I just had to ask, because when someone's so young, curiosity or maybe finding a way to help the family pay for things.
00:14:01.720so you ask the family if they don't mind sharing what happened and the family shared the story with
00:14:08.600me about the blackout challenge and uh and what he what he did and uh and how they found him and
00:14:14.620the whole thing and uh i literally had to fight back tears um because i felt terrible for this
00:14:22.320family this family just lost a youthful young man and they were sharing stories about how
00:14:27.660intelligent he was and how good of a kid he was. But it's amazing that you could just watch
00:14:32.800something on YouTube. And that's what he was watching is watching it on YouTube. And just
00:14:37.380listen to somebody tell him what to do. And he did it. And just to hear the story from the family
00:14:44.020alone, I almost wanted to just leave the room. It just, you know, it was just really frustrating.
00:14:51.040So when you have days like today, you have to ask yourself a lot of questions, which I'm sure the
00:14:56.120family is asking why why do something like this and is it is it worth the risk was this yesterday
00:15:02.580this happened was it yes like very recent just happened just recently so uh i mean it's on
00:15:10.760facebook already uh the grandma is so frustrated at this whole situation that she wants to educate
00:15:16.600people she wants people to know that this is very real and it could happen it could happen to your
00:15:22.960child's it could happen to your child it could happen to your grandchild and how devastating is
00:15:29.220that i just can't even imagine walking you can first of all you can't imagine the death of a
00:15:42.260child your child especially but then to walk in and see that like you were just talking to him
00:15:53.620probably 15 minutes ago half an hour ago yeah that's how quick it's it's in a it's in a flash
00:16:02.880of a second you know when life can be taken that quick and and this isn't the only challenge
00:16:07.600that's taken people's lives there's many of these uh challenges on tiktok that uh as far as i'm0.60
00:16:15.060concerned these videos should be banned and they should be taken down i hate tiktok i hate they
00:16:19.640should be taken down instantly and uh and we shouldn't allow our kids to be a part of these
00:16:24.300and i if you don't mind i'm just going to share a story that no no no go ahead i'm sorry you know
00:16:28.640another challenge that uh uh you know i was coaching my son's hockey team a few years ago
00:16:32.720And he wanted to go over and hang out with the boys kind of thing.
00:16:36.960And he went to a family's house that I trusted.
00:16:41.100And then he did a challenge after other ones did.
00:16:44.700He did something called the cinnamon challenge.
00:16:47.200And that's when you take a spoonful or more full of cinnamon.
00:17:59.200And, you know, I had tears in my eyes when I was talking to him and I said, Josh, the last person I want to see on the morgue table at the funeral home is you, my son.
00:18:08.240And I hugged him and I said, I understand that you made a mistake and I understand that it was a challenge and that there's lots of pressure and there's, you know, you don't want to be the one who doesn't do it.
00:18:18.000But I said, Josh, don't do things like that ever again.
00:18:50.940And so, I mean, these people should be prosecuted who are putting these videos on, who are doing stuff like this on YouTube and TikTok live and are actually dying live.
00:19:01.320And then they're allowing younger kids to watch it.
00:19:04.700And all they have to do is lie about their age.
00:19:17.080It's person after person after person.
00:19:18.800And, you know, you look at our I talked about this today with you, but our suicide rate is high enough as it is because our younger generation is losing a lot of hope and losing a lot of faith.
00:50:33.580written by joanna baron independent special interlocutor kimberly murray in her interim
00:50:42.460report searching for missing children and the unmarked burials has recommended the government
00:50:47.380introduced new legal tools including the adoption of civil and criminal remedies combating denialism
00:50:53.560it also goes against free speech by the way now there is a precedent on the on the books in
00:51:00.780canada in the case of ernst zundel i believe in the 1980s who was a holocaust denier you can go
00:51:06.280read about that in murray's report she wrote that there are significant gaps in legal protections
00:51:12.360at the federal provincial and territorial levels to protect the sites pending searches and
00:51:16.320investigations and that denialists are attacking the credibility of survivors truths about missing
00:51:23.000children unmarked burials and cemeteries at indian residential schools as sensationalist well
00:51:28.040prove it still no proof prove it murray's proposal has been countenanced with openness by
00:51:36.680david lametti the crooked attorney general so it bears consideration lametti who appointed murray
00:51:43.400to her role indicated at a recent presentation held at the cowasis first nation that he's open
00:51:48.840to all possibilities for fighting residential school denialism he said that includes a legal
00:51:53.660solution and outlawing it seriously they're trying this is the thought police
00:52:01.260adding that canada can look to other countries that have criminalized holocaust denial
00:52:06.920no they can't they can't you see this is what i keep saying
00:52:15.060as they creep us towards a totalitarian style dictatorship
00:52:22.200people are finally they're going to wake up they are waking up now all these little steps forward
00:52:31.420this lgbtq thing woke a lot of people up and once one thing wakes somebody up
00:52:39.000they don't go back to sleep you can't unsee it right
00:52:44.940denialism is defined by the oxford dictionary as a person who does not acknowledge the truth
00:52:51.940of a concept or proposition that's supported by the majority of scientific or historical evidence,
00:52:56.980but so far, there is none. Again, I know I keep saying it. It's a term borrowed, as with many
00:53:05.060current lobs in the culture wars from psychology, where it refers to a person who rejects an
00:53:09.620uncomfortable or identity-threatening truth. Denialism has emerged as a recent shibboleth
00:53:16.420for abetting increasingly illiberal restrictions on open discourse.
00:53:21.040There is such a complete lack of rigor and clarity in what constitutes denialism
00:53:25.580that any legal project proposing to attach criminal sanctions to it
00:53:30.060would be devoid of clarity and predictability, basic stipulations of the rule of law.
00:53:35.660Would residential school denialism, for example, encompass investigative journalism
00:53:40.120like Terry Glavin's trenchant piece from 2022?
00:53:42.980In his bombshell investigation for the National Post, Glavin agreed that the government's residential school policy amounted to cultural genocide and entailed brutal psychological, physical and sexual abuse.
00:53:56.700Glavin also found that for all the country's paroxysms, a year after the announcements, not a single mass grave was discovered, nor any human remains unearthed.
00:54:08.600Not a single child among the 3,201 registered on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 2015 record of deaths was located.
00:54:19.660Glavin also noted the caution urged by local indigenous leaders most involved in the sites in questions.
00:56:52.600But Murray's proposal seems to go beyond that, urging the adoption of new legislation which
00:56:57.840would conflate any critical discussion surrounding residential schools and unmarked graves with
00:57:03.460hate speech or pathological denialism.
00:57:08.240If the new law goes beyond what's previously been defined as hate speech, it's likely unconstitutional under Section 2B of the Charter, which protects even the most offensive and repugnant speech, which comes short of hate speech.
00:57:21.980Besides being unconstitutional, such a law would be thoroughly illiberal and ill-advised.
00:57:28.160It raises the specter of driving anti-Indigenous racism underground, where it will flourish away from the disinfecting influence of open discourse.
00:57:37.260Other discourse that Murray would seem to target, while distasteful, is best responded to with rational argument rather than criminal censure.
00:57:45.680There is a somewhat arcane small fringe of Canadian conservative intellectuals who are apologists for residential schools, and I personally find these apologists misguided and odious.
00:57:55.640In an op-ed published last year, Brian Giesberg decried the fact that in the midst of a national frenzy of self-flagged legation, following the announcement of the detection of 215 human remains, allegedly, nobody bothered to mention that enrollment in the schools was often voluntary, nor did they mention the fact that at the time the school had an impressive outdoor swimming pool.
00:58:25.640Canada's policy of residential schools was unmistakably evil and cruel, stripping families from their families or children from their families, meaning making traditions and communities.
00:58:37.140And any attempt to minimize this by pointing to the upside of assimilation or the impressiveness of swimming pools are wrongheaded.
00:58:43.800Still, it seems likely that a law aimed at criminalizing those who don't want to admit the schools inflicted those harms, as one survivor quoted in Murray's report put it, would put Giesbrick's blight comment better dealt with by the opium and counterspeech within the realm of criminalization.
00:59:02.020the practicalities of criminalizing denialism also should be contemplated
00:59:07.260were such a law to be passed and someone prosecuted under it it would effectively
00:59:12.580put residential schools on trial in the 1980s holocaust denier oh oh ernst zundel
00:59:18.760sat several times in trial for his pamphlets did the holocaust really happen
00:59:23.740his trials effectively put the holocaust on trial with the crown bringing in holocaust researchers
00:59:29.740and survivors to support their case, while the defense put noted Holocaust deniers on the stand
00:59:34.860and cross-examined Holocaust survivors about the accuracy of their recollection. The trials gave
00:59:41.260Zundel a platform to bolster his case that the Holocaust never really happened. It was an0.94
00:59:47.120unsightly, disgraceful spectacle. The solution to ignorance or prejudice in a free society
00:59:54.540can never be censorship attorney general david lametti is celebrated legal scholar and was even
01:00:02.180joanna baron the author of this article's dean at mcgill law and he knows full well that murray's
01:00:08.280proposed law is constitutionally suspect and should put a halt to it
01:00:13.460the question now is is the charter of rights and freedoms worth anything in this country
01:00:26.760because you can bet that the liberals will try to pass anything they think they can get through0.98
01:00:33.900and then use the constitution and the charter to wipe their asses just like they've been doing for0.96
01:00:41.120the past three years now i know there's people watching the show right now who are saying the0.91
01:00:45.680bill of rights shadow it's the bill of rights i will tell you the difference between and i know
01:00:51.060you've heard this before but i'll tell it to you anyway and this comes from lawyers that i know
01:00:55.800the bill of rights is a canadian statute and a canadian statute can be erased by an active
01:01:04.680parliament all it needs is a majority vote then it goes to the senate for another majority vote
01:01:10.400then it comes back to the house another majority vote and guess what the bill of rights is no
01:01:15.400longer a thing it's off the books it's gone and they can do that in a very well relatively short
01:01:22.980period of time they can't do that to the charter and i realize there is the spectacle of section
01:01:29.200one of the charter of rights and freedoms what i think needs to happen if a government is elected
01:01:36.320one of these days in this country that actually has some political will to do the right thing
01:01:40.600is reopen that constitution and reword that charter and make it airtight section one does
01:01:47.220not do that it gives government leave way to take your rights away whenever they want
01:01:51.900pretty much as we've seen over the past three years
01:01:59.660but the charter is enshrined in the constitution which means
01:02:04.700no government that comes along can just undo it they have to go through the constitution amendment
01:02:11.860process and they wouldn't they can't so they try to find ways around it that's the problem
01:02:20.300it needs to be worded better and take away the loopholes that exist in it
01:02:27.420this story comes from steve watson summit news via zero hedge the u.n pact for the future seeks
01:02:37.740permanent emergency powers for complex global shocks okay so i want to show you guys the actual
01:02:45.920document here here it is this is from the u.n can you see that our common agenda policy brief
01:02:51.440tooth strengthening the international response to complex global shocks at emergency platform so
01:02:57.960this is where this thing here from the un un.org this is where this story comes from this is 28
01:03:05.480pages i'm not going to go through 28 pages with you that would be a little bit too long so let's
01:03:11.180go ahead and read this story you'll find it alarming the federalist reports the plan is to
01:03:18.660be finished or finalized at a September 2024 summit of the future, this plan where they want
01:03:24.640power over us in case of a global shock. The UN will adopt a pact for the future. This includes
01:03:32.240policies that have been outlined in the globalist body's Our Common Agenda report.
01:03:37.600And one such policy is an emergency platform during any events that have a global impact
01:03:42.020that would provide the UN the authority to actively promote and drive an international
01:03:46.960response that places the principles of equity one of the buzzwords of the globalists d.e.i
01:03:53.600diversity equity inclusion equity not equality equity and solidarity at the center of its work
01:04:00.280solidarity what does that mean all one solidarity right solidarity we're all on the same side so
01:04:07.620we all support each other in what what if we don't agree what then gulags
01:04:15.040the report notes that some details of the emergency platform were outlined in a paper
01:04:22.760from march with the u.n secretary general declaring i propose the general assembly
01:04:27.460provide the secretary general and the united nations system with a standing authority to
01:04:32.300convene and operationalize automatically an emergency platform in the event of a future
01:04:36.840complex global shock of sufficient scale severity and reach like we just had with the covid response
01:04:45.040like we're going to have in the not-too-distant future0.96
01:04:48.760if you listen to the zealots, clowns, and airheads out there0.96
01:04:52.500with another pandemic or some kind of climate emergency.0.95
