sailing them so profoundly have to apologizing to residential school victims. the prime minister tackled the scandal from a song for many decades. indigenous women and girls across canada have disappeared, suffered violence, or been killed. it is shameful. it is absolutely unacceptable and it must end for the 1st time in the country's history, he acknowledged genocide. this is a gift to to the point of mr. justin trudel has raised the hopes of an entire people,

but indigenous women are still dying. ah. after all the promises breathing families expect action because most cases are never settled. i wanna make a theresa 100 of these little things maybe more red dresses to denounce the murders and disappearances from school. i know has been affected by this sad reality. her niece died 4 years earlier, found murdered in the basement of her house. the so whatever show or the case has never been solved when a big police are putting out another cough for public assistance in a definite a woman more than 7 months ago. and you went to a dent nation. this call is asked to call investigators

that said, this year will be 4 years that she's been gone. they said they notified a family all the time and they don't notify the family. and her family refused to admit defeat. so they will not let it go through with wow, ana, betty is fighting for the truth as well. ah, for her the scandal of fem aside is a personal issue. her sister died 4 years ago under suspicious circumstances. she was found

by a person that was walking your dog in this area here. we were told that she had been there for possibly for 2 days. we don't know what happened ever since then. ever since may 2016, we been looking for answers. the body bore signs of a beating with wounds to the head and a fractured sterner. the police concluded death by alcohol poisoning. i refused to accept that someone can say, oh, you know what she died of alcohol poisoning because it makes me angry that if it was a caucasian middle aged man that was found there. like, do you think same the investigation would have been done the same way?

no, it wouldn't have, they would have been working really hard to find the answers. and so why are we have less value? and we're disposable. you know, that if one of us dies, that you know, it doesn't really matter. there's lots of people who have committed murder in this city. and other parts of canada who are walking are on free and with a homicide rate, 4 times greater than the national average. thunder bay is dub canada's crime cavity .

dozens of suspicious deaths are closed without investigation, often involving 1st nations with for a long time, the reality remained hidden until the report by a police watchdog at the cat among the pigeons. mm. mm hm. a skating report by ontario's police watch dog has found thunder based police service is rife with racism. and the handling of at least 9 cases involving the sudden death of indigenous people were so problematic. they should be re investigated. i found a systemic racism exist in thunder bay. police service at an institutional level. investigations will too often handle differently because they cease was indigenous investigators ignored evidence potentially point into

a non accidental cause of contribution to the death. at least 9 of these cases should be re investigated by a multi disciplinary team. ah. after months of negotiations, we are given permission to cover the reopening of these 9 neglected cases. but at the last moment, the chief investigator, fails to show the replacement officer is sent to accompany us a local policeman. the cities been painted in a little bit of a negative late recently just with a lot of negative media. our crime. we've been at the top of some of the pretty bad categories when it comes to crime scene, domestics, or violent crimes or murder work or higher up there. so a lot of people see that and they paint front bay with

a certain brush. i don't want anyone thinking that investigations are cut short, so we're here to reinvestigate these 9 and kind of go over the top. make sure every single thing is found. every stone is overturned, the officer must restore the police services prestige. it's a daunting task. i feel like that's gonna go a long way and rebuild a lot of the relationships between the police and the community. so we're arrived on scene here. it's our only indoor scene of the 9 scenes that were re investigating. so the access is going to be limited. so that's $210.00 east victoria avenue. ah. from the very 1st

crime scene, we are kept at a distance. ah, our guide seizes the opportunity to make a few calls and chat to his colleagues. excited about we leave the car, but the microphone inside is still switched on. although i agreed to do this, these 2 french guys are hilarious. they're amazing or trust. or i got to michael. i got a mike on the 1st turn, the thing off we were turned to the car from someone who is the policeman. seems put out by our questions on him and right, right. he redefines the rules governing or interviewing is there a link between his crimes comes at richard i'm sure the schools with all due respect gentlemen, we've known each other for a couple hours in the way that there's so much negativity given on to the police

that i don't especially the front of a police, i just don't feel comfortable giving those types of answers that could be chopped and put back together. do you know what i'm saying? i see. ah, there are 3 bodies done here. the tour of crime scenes continues carefulness. no gentlemen, for we carry on along the river of tears, a canal with a sinister reputation. oh, in recent years, several indigenous corpses have been fished out of these waters. some of these cases are part of a new investigation. careful where you walk guys, because there's a lot of empty packages here from needles. so just luck. while you're walking,

who's also unexplained, the deaths have been filed under accidental. that's what the police watchdog recorded in their report. so this is area, christine glory was found at the end of march 2016 right. by the sign 29. at the time, the woman was found in the early hours, her pants down and close, scattered. despite signs of sexual activity and traces of dna held on file, the police quickly closed the case. officially, christina died from hypothermia. why was it's classified as a sudden death? you're saying, yeah, because there was no evidence to say otherwise to lead it into an or criminal investigation. so you can create evidence freight. if you're living

a higher risk lifestyle and you're constantly using and abusing substances, then you're going to put yourself in higher risk situations. so for the youths that live that lifestyle, whether whatever race they be, it's, you know, when you're doing that, you're playing a different game. there's, there's a bigger chance of something bad can happen if you surround yourself in situations that have a greater risk to them, to your health and safety. so ah, the usual reference to the indigenous lifestyle it is a common argument put forward by the police with the investigations now reopened. it's a sensitive subject to the case manager can leopard wanted

to stick a line of questioning strictly to questions about the scenes. he didn't know that we would be doing all the stuff while at them. so what, what is the problem is to talk about politics. ah, yeah he, i think that might be part of it. i don't think he wants. i think he wants to keep the focus for us as investigator simply on the 9, the 9 deaths because it's a sensitive question. very sensitive question. um, it's got some sensitive elements to it for sure. but we could talk and if i don't feel comfortable asking, answering a question that i won't answer ah, the following morning we make one final attempt at a crime scene. with

ah, the 1st time in history and entire countries, culture has been cancelled. the very modern weapon cancelled culture. really desert . wonderful. i will, sheffield my last little book in william frog yet. just me sitting there with the phrase now, particularly refers to counseling russian culture. yet them know what secret the few orders that i give to william myers fuel, which will be your choice. so that go with that most of the separate yolanda e w. what russia is created over the past 1500 years,

there's no question actually condemned, reviled and rejected. a bill of bramble, there's a lot closer on a whole college. anytime i guess it'll show the list. joining total condemnation, gross daily, and now enclosed does de escalate to cascade shostakovich that i need to you a quick tour left but yeah, she says that what the time will you do a bomb lee? you want to look it up with a wrong one. i just don't hold

a sheep out becomes the advocate and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, the atmosphere has become even more frosty overnight. so anyway, i apologize. they, they told me not to ride with you guys, and everybody is scared that i don't know. i thought we had some good dialogue yesterday. with them, the police chief arrives gentlemen. hey, how are you this morning with the newer my old thunder bay. we're going to be old very close here. so what i was going to do is keep the media here in the parking lot to stay warm or and if we're gonna be so you'll be able to

see us doing our work from here. it takes investigators only a few minutes to complete their mission. a few in thunder bay believe that the re investigation of these cases will produce results. for her part. i know it continues to move heaven and earth to find the truth about her murdered niece. oh my beautiful and my beautiful niece once a year, every year she gathers the family outside the house where her niece died. i need to line.

i think this is a, this is all that i know has to keep alive the memory of her dead nice. i, after here of denial in silence the grievances of 1st nations people. so finally being aired, demonstrators gather outside the prime minister's office and order was part of the building. as is as indigenous. he is leading the way to meeting with that is also in press to recognize the non indigenous folks that are supporting as the stand by with the minister trailing is

when you're found guilty. it says stomach and reckless discrimination against 1st nation children. you cough up, you pay up and you say, sorry, ah, i want to say how inspired i am to see young indigenous standing up and their allies and the women walking and proud, telling canada that there's a better way forward in that way is respecting the land and respecting the treaties and respecting the people i am honored to with. thank you. so charlie angus is one of the only politicians in canada to defend the rights of 1st nations, people. for more than 20 years. he has been present at every battle. his activism was triggered by events or to residential schools. i'm only like a member of parliament. these youngsters want canada to acknowledge his role in the darker side of its history. ah,

and finally break the taboos of colonization. i was almost 40 years old before ever stepped foot on when i was elected my region just got some of the 1st nations communities anywhere . ah. and i remember same when i 1st landed in this community. it was just, it looked like a prisoner of war, kim and i said, what did the other member of parliament say when he came here and they laughed, they said the member of parliament came to us. we had to find him. how can that be my country like canada? mm hm. did you bring them? i think that's canada. we think we know or history. we think we know our neighbors. and yet, just beside a big center, there will be

a reserve where there's no clean water since 2013 charlie angus has been fighting alongside the victims of st pans, where children were tortured in the electric chair. yeah. unlike other victims of the residential schools, they have received no financial reparations with the abuse. they suffered legal proceedings have been rumbling on for years and have become a symbol of a national scandal. these are all from the police investigations that were done at saint ann's report. the interview with a police officer was there use of an electric chair to administer shocks to children who were tied in the chair. yes, there were consistent reports of the electric chair. some reports suggested it was used for entertainment. there were beatings. children forced thrown vomit. yes, numerous people, edge alleged that it affected them was their homosexual rape. yes. had her sexual

rate. yes. it's like a horror movie. it goes on and on and on. and on. when the case came to court, the canadian government adopted an odd position. it refused to handle for evidence . victims no longer have access to their own testimony. it will take years for them to recover it. all the government was forced to turn over those documents, but then they blacked out the names of many of the perpetrators. what we got back was page after page after page of empty documents, the government blocked out. almost all the evidence within the documents weren't useful to many of the worst criminals got away. the bishop's got away. ah, the ones who done most of the damage never got charged. ah

. okay, i got to go ah, i used to think they were trying to hide somebody. i thought there was some bishop very important. but what they're protecting is they're protecting the government of canada from having to pay its obligations. ah, now they're facing canada. billions of dollars for this generation of indigenous children who are being taken away from their families. mm. losing the case against st ends might bring to light other scandals and cost the state. dear, i welcome to ontario power flowers, alluding flowers,

got snow in parliament session is about to begin. and i'm going to be asking to find the government in contempt of parliament, florida for falsifying informations 2 years earlier, the m p grilled prime minister to the matter of evidence being concealed by the government generations. all remember for timmins, james bay, children at st. andrew's. eventual school suffered nightmarish levels of abuse, torture and child rape. and yet the office of the attorney general suppressed thousands of pages of police evidence that identified the perpetrators. and in doing so, they had cases thrown out and undermine the hearing. and now that the justice department has been forced to turn over those documents the claimant's inadmissible . unless the survivor finds a witness to verify these atrocities, to the prime minister, enough to survivors his shane and his

r a better will he instruct his garment to end this obstruction of justice against the survivors saying at once and for all of a prime minister deals done through indigenous people over decades and centuries of colonialism in this country are shameful, and are something that we need to learn from and move forward on. that includes respecting the rights of indigenous peoples now in all their different aspects. and that's why we're working with survivors working, working with communities to ensure that we can move forward in a way that is fully respectful of all their rights as we get a get to the bottom of this up, understand their history and make reparations in the right way moving forward. ah, despite the prime minister's promises for the canadian government has adopted

a new strategy and gone on the attack, ah, they will go to any lengths to unsettled their opponents. over $3000000.00 are being spent on court costs. ah, the government will, the preferred seems to side with the perpetrators, and they're telling the public that they will side with the latest act of this cynical approach is to prosecute the victims lawyer. ah, said bruning is represented the satan's plaintiff's for 10 years as a volunteer on this occasion. it is her clients who will be supporting her in a toronto courtroom in

like edmund. they have come from all over ontario for the trial in how are you my friends? to see? oh, i never ends. but it keeps me keep moving. i my friends. oh, good year. that's a record of standpoint. in the 1st case of its kind, why the lawyer is accused of slandering the court? ah, the potential $25000.00, fine, would force her to withdraw her commitment to the victim's cause

a after a short hearing. the judge rules in her faith, thanks to the survivors of saint dan's residential school. the whole people has just won its 1st battle. and with it some kind of revenge on history in the philosophy, which they said was to kill indian and the child, which meant took them from their family and their land. they would cease to be indian people. but what they did was a created generations of damaged people, but never stop being indian people. ah, we are not free. we are prisoners of canada. in 2020 i apologize. apology. but the

reality is, i still have my brand number i will continue to fight until they say no more. no more reserves were free. ah ah ah

ah no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all history. with her.

ah the eastern is absolutely well with a sheet bush gives my child my near i give me what is my trailer as opposed to beloved recently? so be example, graham it was some live will be william.
