all history and a history that calendar doesn't like to talk about a not until just into those election in 2015, with the to abuse of colonization. finally shattered her on being elected. prime minister, the young head of state, give a message to the 1st nations community working together timely the government of canada. sincerely apologize, us and asks the forgiveness of the aboriginal peoples of this country for failing them. so profoundly have to apologize and to residential school victims. the prime minister tackle the scandal from us 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 with the 1st time in the country's history acknowledged genocide. this is a gift to the prime minister. 6 justin trudeau has raised the hopes of an entire people. but indigenous women are still dying. ah! after all the promises, grieving families expect action because most cases are never settled. i wanna make a,

a, maybe more red dresses, to denounce the murders and disappearances. hello. i know has been affected by this sad reality. her niece died 4 years earlier, found murdered in the basement of her house, the filled forever chill, 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 different nation, this call is asked to call investigators that said, this year will be 4 years that she's been gone. they said they're gonna notify the family all the time and they didn't notify the family and her family

refused to admit defeat. they will not let it go. oh wow. and betty is fighting for the truth as well. 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 her 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 san 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 the 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 in word disposable. you know, and that if one of us dies that you know,

it doesn't really matter with there's lots of people who have committed murder in this city. and other parts of canada who are walking are on free. ah. with a homicide rate, 4 times greater than the national average. thunder bay is dub canada's crime capital. who's in 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 watch dog except the cat among the pigeons. mm. mm.

a scathing report by ontario's police watch dog has found under base 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 the cease was indigenous investigators ignored evidence potentially pointed to 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 police cities been painted in a little bit of a negative light. 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. so your domestics are violent crimes or murder were 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 over.

ah, 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 arrived on scene here. it's our only indoor scene of the 9 scenes that we're re investigating . so the access is going to be limited, so that's $210.00 east victoria avenue, awe from the very 1st crime scene, we are kept at a distance our guide ceases 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 agree to do this,

these 2 french guys are hilarious. they're amazing or trust. or i got a mike on. i got a mike on turn this thing off. we returned 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. yeah. ah.

a tour of crime scenes continues carefulness. no gentlemen. oh, we carry on along the river of tears. a canal with a sinister reputation. oh, in recent years, several indigenous corpses had been fish out of these waters some of these cases are part of the new investigation. careful where you walk guys, because there's a lot of empty packages here from needles. so just have a look while you're walking. also unexplained, the deaths have been filed under accidental. that's what the police watchdog recorded in their report. so this is area kristen glenn. he 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 closed 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, 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't 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 we're ever 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 forth by the police with the investigations now reopened. it's a sensitive subject to the case manager can leopard wanted to stick the 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 what he thinks 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. ah ah ah, the 1st time in history and the entire country's culture has been canceled to the very modern weapons and sole culture. really desert wonderful language cecile

malice. so thought when william frog can't just sit in the wine it with the phrase now particularly refers to counseling russian culture yet that know what secret of she was, the zip code where your mouth. sure. what will be your that is child so that all the most of the separate random eat them we what rushes created over the past 1500 years. there's no question. ashley condemned, reviled and reject it to the line and your status of attorney. at the will of bramble, there's a lot closer on a whole college. anytime i guess it'll show them the list. joining total condemnation, gross daily. and now include just a, ask a to cascade shostakovich at the i need to you a quick call left. but yes,

you lost your signal. what the time will you do a bomb, lee. you're not going to do that a little bit more. ah ah, the atmosphere has become even more frosty overnight. so anyway, i apologize. they told me not to ride with you guys and everybody scared that i don't know. i thought we had some good dialogue yesterday. and then the police chief arrives gentlemen. hey, are you this morning? we're good. what can you hold on with we're going to be all very close here. so what i was going to do is keep the media here in the parking lot. she can stay warm or in the world,

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

and i think i think is a, this is all that i have to keep alive the memory of her dead nice. a after years 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 us to recognize the non indigenous books that are supporting as the stand by with me, sheila and the minister training

when you're feeling guilty as his stomach and reckless discrimination against 1st nation children, you cough up, you pay up and you say, sorry, i want to say how inspired i am to see young indigenous standing up and their allies and the women walking and proud of telling canada that there is a better way forward in that way is respecting the land and respecting the treaties . and respecting the people i am honored to with their c. thank you. so the charlie, i think us 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 school or on my mind like a member of parliament. these youngsters one candidate 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 i ever stepped foot on reserve when i was elected my region, is that some of the poorest for station communities anywhere? and i remember saying when i 1st landed in this community, it was just, it looked like a prisoner of war. 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? me, did you think of my thing? that's canada. we think we know our history. we think we know our neighbors. and yet, just beside a big center, there will be reserve where there is no clean water since 2013

charlie angus has been fighting alongside the victims of st. ends. were children were tortured in the electric chair. yeah. unlike other victims of residential schools, they have received no financial reparations with the abuse. they suffered legal proceedings have been rumbling on for years and to become a symbol of a national scandal. these are all from the police investigations that were done at st and 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 to the electric chair. some report suggested it was used for entertainment. there were beatings. children forced, he throw in vomit. yes, numerous people edge alleged that it affected them was their homosexual rape? yes. had her sexual rape. yes. it's like

a corner movie. it goes on and on, 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 blacked out almost all the evidence for them. the documents weren't useful. so 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 gotta go ah, i used to think they were trying to hide somebody. i thought there was some bishop very important. ah, but what they're protecting is they're protecting the government of canada from having to pay its obligations. ah, now they're facing in canada. billions of dollars for this generation of indigenous children who are being taken away from their families. mm. losing the case against st ins. might bring to light other scandals and caused the state. dear, i welcome to ontario. i left flowers on something. flowers

got snow. mm marlon session is about to begin and i'm going to be asking to find the government in contempt of parliament. the florida for falsifying informations 2 years earlier, the mpg prime minister to the matter of evidence being concealed by the governor, generations, all the member for timmins, james bay, children at saint and residential 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, they claim its inadmissible. unless the survivor finds a witness to verify these atrocities, to the prime minister, enough fibers insane and deserve better. will he instruct his garment to end this

obstruction of justice against the surviving are seen as once and for all over the prime minister? the ills 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 lurked 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 of the preferred seems to side with the perpetrators when they're telling the public that they with size in the latest act of this cynical approach is to prosecute the victims lawyer. ah, said bruning is represented the st ends plaintiffs for 10 years. as a volunteer ah, on this occasion, it is her clients who will be supporting her in a toronto courtroom. ah,

in like edmond, they have come from all over ontario for the trial. how are you my friend? good to see us. oh i never let it keeps me keep moving like one of my brain with a 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 victims cause a after

a short hearing the judge rules in her faith, thanks to the survivors of saint dan's residential school. a whole people has just won its 1st battle and with it some kind of revenge on history. and the philosophy 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 they created generations of damaged people, but never stop being indian people. ah, we are not free. we are prisoners of canada in 2020 a holidays,

apologies. but the reality is, ah, i still have my banner i will continue the bite until they say no more in act. no more reserves it were free. ah, ah ah ah ah

ah ah . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is offensive, very dramatic and development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time. time to sit down and talk

with breaking news and artsy this up at rose, yet nucular power plant again. kellum is under the shelling of ukrainian forces, and according to the d. r. officials the freshest salt comes just hours before the un security council convenes to discuss the long awaited grain shipments from ukraine bypass. hardest hit african nations adding instead to european ports live reaction on that coming up with estonia, plums to close its borders to russian citizens holding shen get visas issued by tollen while the european commission.
