00:10:13.220noticed has been hitting the sauce kind of hard recently uh says there's absolutely no evidence
00:10:19.140the bail system in canada needs to be reformed no evidence yeah aside from those bailed murderers
00:10:26.420Yeah, and all the people they murder on bail. No evidence at all, she says.
00:10:32.380Coming up this afternoon, the AG of Alberta is going to be issuing the report.
00:10:37.600Do you remember all the AHS and DynaLife labs thing where lab times went from just a couple days to up to five weeks?
00:10:45.800He's bringing in a report on that and it's expected to be somewhat harsh.
00:10:51.500Well, interesting timing all coming together right now.
00:10:55.020I mean, there's been a leak as well of apparently, finally, I mean, some reforms are going to be coming in health care.
00:11:01.840But if it comes on the back of them having potentially mucked up a bunch of reforms a few years ago, it's not going to make their case stronger.
00:11:08.960No, and you're talking about a good case in which doctors are going to be allowed the choice of whether to practice in both the public system or the private system.
00:11:18.440Currently, they have to pick one or the other, and they can't do both.
00:12:48.360if you haven't subscribed yet, guys, take out a subscription, westernstandard.news slash
00:12:53.760subscription. It's $10 a month, $100 for a year. This is how we stay independent. This is how Dave
00:12:58.420has all those reporters as he's pointing from the back there to remind our new guy that yes,
00:13:03.060indeed, you are stuck in the background of the show there. And, you know, it's just the way of
00:13:09.320new media, guys, keeps us accountable to you and not beholden to the government. So if you've
00:13:14.580already subscribed, I can never thank you guys enough. I really appreciate it. And if you haven't
00:13:18.680yet, get on there. And seriously, get a gift subscription for somebody else. I've talked
00:13:23.580about that before. If you've got that crazy liberal uncle you like to drive crazy, buy him
00:13:28.240a year subscription to the Western Standard and email it to him. Announce it. Give him a certificate
00:13:32.940at supper time. Maybe a little common sense will get into him or maybe not, but it'll make for
00:13:37.560lively discussion. Well, okay. That's enough of the shilling and selling. What else have we got?
00:13:44.580going on there. I'm just, uh, just to go into it with some of the insanity of politics before we
00:13:48.760get to Ms. Brody, which I've been looking forward to. Let's talk about the insanity of politics in
00:13:52.860BC. The BC human rights chief declared that it's colonist to stigmatize drug use. Everything's
00:14:00.520colonist now, apparently. And we can't stigmatize the person with the needle in their arm or the
00:14:05.520meth pipe in their mouth and the playground. But heaven help you if you're caught with a cigarette
00:14:09.960somewhere. That is, you're allowed to stigmatize that. You should crack down on that. And you
00:14:14.020know what? And I had to fight hard to quit smoking. A part of it is actually losing that
00:14:20.500societal acceptance. You kind of had to hide in the alleyway to have your cigarette. You hung
00:14:24.800your head in a little bit of shame to have that smoke. Well, it works. It helps. So yes, there
00:14:29.720should be a stigma to being a junkie, guys. I'm afraid so. I mean, I want to help them. I want
00:14:34.100them to get clean. I want them to learn. But let's not pretend there shouldn't be a stigma attached
00:14:37.340to that. Of course there is. It's a terrible condition to be in. All right, let's bring in
00:14:41.440our guest from the 1BC party, Dallas Brody, who's been certainly making waves in BC for the last
00:14:47.400little while. Hello, Ms. Brody. Thank you very much for joining us today. Good morning, Corey.
00:14:51.300Thanks for having me. So I guess I'll begin with the easy subject. You've been outspoken on the
00:14:58.020Kamloops residential school file, probably the only elected person who's really coming out and
00:15:03.500saying what I think a lot of people need to say on it. I guess what's compelling you to take that
00:15:08.960stance rather than just putting your head down and letting it slide by like so many other
00:15:12.160politicians? Well, I don't know if your audience knows, but that was the original reason why I got
00:15:18.220expelled from the Conservative Party of BC because I raised the issue of the zero bodies that had
00:15:24.840been found at Kamloops in connection with my role as Attorney General Critic because there was a
00:15:30.360lawyer at the Law Society of BC who complained that the mandatory course materials involving
00:15:36.020aboriginal sensitivity training were still talking about these 215 bodies that had been buried there
00:15:45.020and he said actually they haven't been confirmed and they're actually only potential burials and
00:15:50.060we need to correct the materials to add the word potential or probably or i think he said the word
00:15:54.500potential um and so ultimately he had to sue the law society for defamation because in publications
00:16:00.220they referred to made the comment that basically saying that he was a racist and since that's time
00:16:07.440I've learned that there this this story is at the center of so much of what's going on in British
00:16:13.500Columbia this claim of these 215 children that were apparently buried there nothing has ever
00:16:23.400been found there there are no bodies found and this but people continue to refer to this and
00:16:31.220it is becoming a big problem because people see well there there are problems on many levels with
00:16:39.640this but one of them is that uh it's if it's being used to continue to push for uh reconciliation in
00:16:49.860truth and reconciliation and it's involving huge amounts of money that are going across provincially
00:16:56.660and federally and people are you know asking a lot of questions about it and i think justifiably
00:17:04.020well yeah and i mean it keeps coming to that a lot of us say it's a truth and reconciliation
00:17:08.980notion well we have to get to the truth and and it's absurd either way we look at the situation
00:17:15.400whether there's no remains buried on that site well then let's get down there and confirm that
00:17:19.660and then move on from there or if there are remains if there are advocates should be calling
00:17:24.220for that because we need to find out what happened how did they end up there and let's return these
00:17:29.100remains to the families though that's another question there's no families claiming to have
00:17:32.760lost anybody at these schools but we are expected in fact almost by force I mean there's people
00:17:37.200demanding your resignation some walked out of the legislature the other day because you dared to even
00:17:42.660talk about this I appreciate you keeping that alive do you think other hopefully elected
00:17:48.120officials are going to start to speak up on this again soon well my colleague tara armstrong of
00:17:52.600course at 1bc is also speaking up on this and uh but it takes incredible courage to confront
00:18:00.600this lie and i'm not saying that i'm this incredibly courageous person it's just that
00:18:06.700i'm a person of principle and my legal background says that if you're going to accuse people of a
00:18:10.920mass murder, you need to produce the evidence. Basically, Canada has been tried and convicted
00:18:18.320of mass murder without any evidence. And that cannot be allowed to stand because it's hanging
00:18:25.060like a pall over our country and over our province. And it sort of morphs into other
00:18:31.980things too. We've got these land acknowledgements that are done everywhere in British Columbia now
00:18:37.360at every public gathering, we have land acknowledgements that are saying we're standing
00:18:42.200on stolen land. And this is having an impact on people's psyches and how they feel about
00:18:48.920themselves and whether it's really causing problems. And not to mention the economic
00:18:55.360impact that these things are having, and I can get into that later, but we need the evidence
00:19:00.940if there is any. And if there has been a mistake made here, that needs to be acknowledged and
00:19:06.560needs to be a reckoning on this the band has been stalling now for four and a half years on this
00:19:12.640and let's remember the band asked for money from the federal government first eight million and
00:19:18.240another 4.1 million so for a total of 12.1 million dollars was advanced by the federal government
00:19:24.800for this band specifically to dig yeah done in any other circumstance i mean an auditor would
00:19:32.960follow up and say, Hey, we've, we've got some fraud problems here. You were given money to do
00:19:36.680something and you didn't actually do it. But when it comes to accountability, that's, it's kind of
00:19:41.040a different area. The social damage that's being done besides the economic though, I mean, as you
00:19:47.020said, there's a combination of things going on land acknowledgements. I think it was UBC that had a
00:19:51.380bunch of staff members that had in their profile said they were uninvited guests on the land they're
00:19:55.660living on. We're told that we're colonists, we're settlers, we're uninvited, we're tenants. That's
00:20:01.680latest one I've been hearing from some. Meanwhile, you have another segment of the population that's
00:20:06.400told that they've been victimized, that there was mass murder in the Kamloops school. I mean,
00:20:10.560this is not bringing about reconciliation. This is splitting two social populations,
00:20:15.600which could be irrevocable. It could be unfixable soon.
00:20:20.560It could be unfixable soon. And I have never seen division like this
00:20:24.320in my life or this kind of anger. People, I think Canadians have good hearts. I think,
00:20:30.880i know british colombians do and they often wanted a better uh life for the average indigenous
00:20:36.640person and we're hoping that through gestures like this we were making a difference but it's
00:20:40.640not making a difference things are worse than ever for uh aboriginal people living on reserve in bc
00:20:47.280the actual lifespan of um indigenous people in bc has dropped by six years since the ndp took power
00:20:53.040six years lifespan drop and the other um numbers um relating to indigenous populations it's not
00:21:00.880it's not improving it's getting worse and so if money were the answer it would be doing this but
00:21:05.840what we're just seeing is it seems to me it's like ideology is just being rolled out in this
00:21:11.760because they talk about reconciliation but what i see is the underbelly the dark underbelly to
00:21:16.080this is something called decolonization and indigenization and so it's really not about
00:21:22.720helping the average person on reserve it's about telling british columbia it's illegitimate that
00:21:28.480everything we did was illegitimate that it needs to be reversed and everything that was colonial
00:21:34.320needs to be removed and some people would say yes that is what needs to happen well i don't think
00:21:40.000british columbians really knew that this is what drippa meant when it was brought into bc
00:21:44.880which is the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and I think if you
00:21:50.480did a referendum of people in British Columbia and asked me if they want
00:21:53.480the full all of our signs to be changed to Indigenous languages and cities names changed
00:21:59.760and so on they would like to be included in that decision. Now I so I it's causing a lot
00:22:06.760of social unrest and I don't know how we're going to stop this train but I'm saying this needs to
00:22:13.280stop. We need to push pause on all of this and we need to inform the province about what's really
00:22:19.600going on here and ask British Columbians what they want. Well, and again, if we could be truthful,
00:22:25.280a lot more things could be settled and there'd be more trust built. I'll use it as a segue in a
00:22:31.720sense. I mean, you know, for example, I mean, things, some things obviously did happen over
00:22:35.820the period of time in the residential schools. We're not a hundred percent sure what. It sounds
00:22:39.500like the whole Kamaloops thing was probably completely exaggerated and possibly an outright
00:22:43.520hoax. But that undercuts all of the claims of all the other stuff that might really have happened
00:22:49.020once you embrace something without evidence. And in Israel, I was there recently. During October
00:22:56.6407th, there'd been a misreporting of 40 beheaded babies. Horrible. Sounded awful. Really got a lot
00:23:03.020of people upset. Turned out it wasn't true. There was a whole lot of horrible things done on October
00:23:07.2007th and I got to see the aftermath of that there. It was awful, but unfortunately it put that seed
00:23:12.080of doubt into every other atrocity that was done after that. When you start with an exaggeration,
00:23:17.360with an untruth, it makes it much more difficult to prove things later on and the trust gets lost.
00:23:24.640That's another file you've sort of been on in BC with some of the mistruths and some of the issues
00:23:29.520with Hamas and October 7th, you did the march for peace I believe it was or something in Poland.
00:23:37.200And Charlotte Cates, Samadown, I know it's a big leap here, but still it comes down to the whole settler thing, the mistruth, the shouting down.
00:23:45.900You've been sort of taking on that because we've been sort of turning a blind eye to some pretty extremist organizing out here.
00:23:53.840Well, my fundamental belief is that if you're going to come to Canada, you need to leave behind your historical grievances in the country you came from and come here and live peacefully here in British Columbia.
00:24:03.260Yes, you can have your freedom of assembly and we have freedom of speech, yes, but we don't want you using British Columbia as your launching pad for a historical grievance that you have from somewhere else and particularly glorifying terror.
