oh, okay. mm. with very travel, canada hasn't been very good. ha, to indigenous women and girls who have been missing or found, murdered because of structural racism, history, the corneal history. that canada has worked. indigenous people and communities. and it's so shameful history and a history that canada doesn't like to talk about not until just into those election in 2015, with a to booze of colonization. finally shattered a 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. after apologizing to residential school victims, the prime minister tackle the scandal from assume 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. and ah,

for 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 grieving 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. 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 important. another call for public assistance in the death of 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, they notified a family all the time and they will notify the family. and her family refused to admit defeat. they will not let it go over.

ah, anna 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 with she was found by a person that was walking their 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. mm. in the body for 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 valued? mm. work disposable. you know? and that if one of us dies, that you know what? 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, and with a homicide rate, 4 times greater than the national average. funder 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 sat the cat among the pigeons. mm. a scathing report by ontario's police watch dog has found thunder bass 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 exists in thunder. bay police service at an institutional level. investigations were too often handled 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. ah,

the city's been painted in a little bit of a negative lake 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 funner 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 guys seizes the opportunity to make a few calls and check to his colleagues. expect about we leave the car with the microphone inside is still switched on. and i agreed to do this, these 2 french guys are hilarious. they're amazing. trust. i got a mike on, hey, 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. right, right. he redefines the rules governing or interviewing. is there a link between this crimes comes a residential 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. do not. i'm saying i see. ah, there are 3 boys 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 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 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. please quickly close the case.

ah, 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 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 lived 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 we opened 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 program 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 you answer your question that i want to answer

ah. the following morning we make one final attempt at a crime scene. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with

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 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? a whole bunch of day. 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 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. with

a few in thunder bay believes 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. oh my beautiful my beautiful once a year, every year she gathers the family outside the house where her niece died. i need to lane, i think is a, this is all that i know has to keep alive the memory of her dead nice.

i have to hear 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 a guilty, it's a 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 brown and 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, 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 at the 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 step foot on

when i was elected my region just got some of the for 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 decide 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. ends. were 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 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 to 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 rape. 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 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 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 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, no. 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 power flowers with 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 warning

for falsifying informations. 2 years earlier, the m. p gilder, 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 undermine the hearing. and now that the justice department has been forced to turn over those documents, the claimant's, inadmissible. unless a survivor finds a witness to verify these atrocities, to the prime minister, enough, the survivors are saying and is there a better will he instruct his garment to end this obstruction of justice against the survivors saying at once and far off, auto prime minister speaker deals 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 are 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, 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, and they're telling the public that they, with 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 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 with

how are you, my friend? good to see. no, never ends, but it keeps you keep moving. i, of course, with candace standpoint, 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 victim's cause in after a short hearing, the judge rules in her favor, 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 the indian and the child, which meant took them from their family in 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 apologies apology. but the reality is, i still have my number i

will continue to fight until they say no more. and then act no more reserves were free ah ah ah ah

ah ah the ah

mm mm mm i want to welcome to well, the part during the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result was, was described as the definition of insanity. but with democratic close to retaining the your senate, it is now being positioned that's almost a great new deal. can america pull itself from its current economic and political debacles by repeating tires montrose and holding on to the same old weeds? well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by rob, you re author off zanna economics, mr. your, it's great to see here, great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time as you are now even before the latest midterm elections, you've criticized the biden administration for ineptness, saying that the problem.
