central school system is the prime minister, tackle the scandal of somerset 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, he acknowledged genocide. this is a gift to to the prime minister. just intruder 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 at least a 100 of these little things, maybe more red dresses to denounce the murders and disappearances. hello. i know has been affected by the sad reality. her niece died 4 years earlier, found murdered in the basement of her house. the filled forever showing the case has never been solved when a big police are putting out another call for public assistance in a definite but woman more than 7 months ago. anyone with information is called is asked to call investigators that said, this year will be here. said she's been gone. they said they're gay, notified

a family all the time and they didn't notify the family and her family refused to admit defeat. they will not let it go with anna, but he is fighting for the truth as well. ah, for her, the scandal of fem aside is a personal issue in her sister died 4 years ago under suspicious circumstances with 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 stern. 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? ah, we're disposable. you know, that if one of us dies that you know it, 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 around free. ah, and with a homicide rate, 4 times greater than the national average. thunder bay is dub canada's crime. capital. dozens of suspicious deaths are closed without investigation, often involving 1st nations women. ah!

for a long time, the reality remained hidden until the report by a police watchdog set the cat among the pigeons. mm. mm hm. 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 were too often handled differently because this cease was indigenous investigators ignored evidence potentially pointed to a non accidental cause or contribution to the death. at least 9 of these cases should be re investigated by a multi disciplinary. 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 was sent to accompany us a local policeman. city spin, 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 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 with 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 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 our guide ceases the opportunity to make a few calls and chat with his colleagues excited about

we leave the car, but the microphone inside is still switched on. oh, i agree to do this. these 2 french guys are hilarious. they're amazing. trust. i got a mike on. i got a mike on the 1st turn, the 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 and 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. you know what i'm saying?

i see. yeah. ah. very free body. so 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 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 watched on recorded in their

report. so this area, christine glory, was found at the end of march 2016. right by the sign was 29. at the time, the woman was found in the early hours for 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 classified as a sudden death? you're saying, yeah, because there was no evidence to say otherwise to lead it into an a 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 high 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 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 i so what,

what is the program 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 i says 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 you, answer your question that i won't answer ah, the following morning we make one final attempt at a crime scene. ah ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah ah 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's scared that i don't know. i thought we had some good dialog yesterday with the police chief arrives. gentlemen, hey, how are you this morning? we're both new and i have old bunger 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 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 denial in silence. the grievances of 1st nations people. so finally being aired, demonstrators gather outside the prime minister's office in order was part of the building. as is as indigenous. he is leading the way to meeting with to recognize the non indigenous folks that are supporting as the stand by with andy minister training is when you're guilty of his 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 were walking and proud of telling canada that there is a better way forward in that way is respecting the land and respecting the treaties, respecting the people i am honored to be a c. thank you. so charlie angus is one of the only politicians in canada to defend the rights of 1st nations, people in more than 20 years. he has been present at every battle. his activism was triggered by events at the residential school. 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. is that some of the for 1st nations communities anywhere? ah, and i remember saying when i 1st landed in this community, it was just, it looked like the 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 never came to us. we had to find him. how can that be my country like canada? mm hm. did you think the lightning? 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 a reserve where there is 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 to 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 the 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 heat, thrown vomit. yes. numerous people edge alleged that it affected them was their homosexual rape? yes. at her sexual rate. yes. it's like

a horror 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 elegance . 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. 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. losing the case against maintenance might bring to light other scandals and cost the state. dear, i welcome to ontario. i left flowers with flowers. got snow. mm

marlin 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, a prime minister to the matter of evidence being concealed by the governor generations. all remember for timmins, james bay, children at st 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 those perpetrators. and in doing so, they had cases thrown out and undermined the hearing. and now that the justice department had 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, the survivors has st. and has, are better,

will he instruct his garment to end this obstruction of justice against the survivors saying as once and for all honorable prime minister. the ills done to 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, learn to 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, ah, 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 will side with the latest act of this cynical approach is to prosecute the victims lawyer. ah, say bruning is represented the st ends plaintiffs 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. ah . how are you? my friend, after to see oh, i never let it keeps me keep moving. i my brain. oh, good year. that's a recorded line. in the 1st case of its kind. why the lawyer is accused of slandering the court? ah, the potential $25000.00 funding would force her to withdraw her commitment to the victims cause, ah, even in after

a short hearing, the judge rules in her favor, 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. and the philosophy which they said was to kill the 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 lou apologies apology. but the

reality is, i still have my banner i will continue to fight until they say no more and then act no more reserves were free. ah ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation,

let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing a list. of course, it's becoming the most in mind that we're we're banding all in ports of russian oil and gas, new g. i g over with the letter from, you know, where, where did you ever go to? joe biden, imposing the sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's

your boomerang with a ah, do you wash in for almost completely removed from day to day large, the american people. and so the american people, i believe, if provided good information and left to their own devices,

we're trying to on far more recent foreign conclusions than are coming to about world events. right. a headlines on anti international at europe's largest nuclear power plant comes under attack. moscow says the zappa ology facility has been shuttled by key f, 13 times over the weekend. although ukraine's nuclear energy agency is accusing russia. license to cause troubled fears to raise the plans by cause a vote to find those in the breakaway province with serbian number plates on that cause to escalate already high tension. he had backtrack. slides claims that russia was behind a deadly.
