ah oh, very chavez, canada hasn't been very good ah, to indigenous women and girls who have been missing or found murdered because of the structural racism history, the clonnie history that canada has worked indigenous people and communities and it's a shameful history and a history that calendar doesn't like to talk about not until just into those election in 2015, whether to have or been killed. it is shameful. it is absolutely unacceptable and it

must. and for the 1st time in the country's history, he acknowledged genocide. this is a gift to the prime minister. 6 just and trudeau has raised the hopes of an entire people. but indigenous women are still dying. ah! after all the promises, reading families expect actual because most cases are never settled. i wanna make a theresa 100 of 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 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, but they said they're they notified a family all entire and they don't notify the family and her family refused to admit defeat. they will not let it go through the with

wow ana, 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 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, ivory, mister, except 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? mm hm. we're 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 around free. ah, and with a homicide rate, 4 times greater than the national average. thunder bay is dub canada's crime capital. aah! in 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 except the cat among the pigeons. mm. mm hm. escaping 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 from the systemic racism exist in thunder bay polish service. institutional level investigations were too often handled differently because the decease 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 policeman. cities been painted in a little bit of a negative light recently and 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 funner bay with a certain brush with the 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 access is going to be limited or guides. these is 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. oh,

i agreed to do this. these 2 french guys are hilarious. they're amazing. trust me, i got a mike on hey, i got a mike on the 1st turn. the thing off. ah 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 this crimes times 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 funder, basically. so 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,

there is 3 boys on 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 had been fish 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 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,

christine glory was found at the end of march 2016. right. by the sign $29.00 at the top. the woman was found in the early hours, her pants down and closed, scattered slight signs of sexual activity and traces of dna held on file to please 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 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 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 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 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 answering a question that i want to answer ah, the following morning we make one final attempt at a crime scene. ah ah ah, liberalism was again on displayed his past week with by the 2nd democracy summit. the problem is most the world doesn't divide countries into democracy's autocracies . in fact,

much of the world views western democracy as an expression of ideological the german ah, ah, well oh oh oh oh i i 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. and 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 because 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 believed that the re investigation of these cases will produce results.

for her part, lena continues to move heaven and earth to find the truth about her murdered niece . oh my beautiful my beautiful and once a year, every year she gathers the family outside the house where her niece died. i need to line 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 meeting with us to recognize the non indigenous folks that are supporting as the stand by with the minister training when you're feeling 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 were walking and proud of 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. 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 step foot arms 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 our 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. pounds. 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 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 report suggested it was used for entertainment. there were beatings. children forced, he throwing 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, 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 for them. the documents weren't useful for 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 in canada. billions of dollars for this generation of indigenous children who are being taken away from their families. losing the case against st ins might bring to light other scandals and caused the state. dear, i welcome to ontario on something to the 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, florida for falsifying informations 2 years earlier, the m p guild, a prime minister to the matter of evidence being concealed by the governor generations. all remember 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, the claimant's inadmissible. unless the survivor finds a witness to verify these atrocities, to the prime minister enough, the survivors are sane. and is there a better will he instruct his garment to end this obstruction of justice against the survivors saying as 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're working with 5 years 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. 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, after to see? oh, i never is. but it keeps me keep moving. like i

hear that a record here the 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 anne's, residential school. the whole people has just won its 1st battle. and with it, some kind of revenge on history. and the philosophy yield, 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 lou apologies apology. but the reality is, i still have my banner i will continue to fight until they say no more. it no more reserves were free with

ah ah, ah, i can imagine as $22.00 ways in which would be me being natal auto cross station or out of from anger or out of some emphasis or out of a dispute with one or 2 nito members, we have learned how to deal with them. why not? so if they basically do something not to us, we can do something more nasty to them. the news

ah ah ah ah hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered on peter labelle,

liberal liberalism was again on display this past week with by the 2nd democracy summit. the problem is most of the world doesn't divide countries into democracies or talk receives in fact, much of the world views western democracy as an expression of ideological gemini with .
