10:07 pm
moment, the chief investigator, fails to show the replacement officer is sent to accompany us a local police cities been painted and 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. so your domestics are violent crimes or murder were or higher up there. so a lot of people see that and they paint hunter bay with a certain brush. i don't want anyone thinking that investigations are cut short, so we're here found every stone as 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 the lot of the relationships between the police and the
10:08 pm
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 seizes the opportunity to make a few calls and chat to his colleagues. excited about we leave the car with the microphone inside is still switched on. oh, i agreed to do this. these 2 french 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
10:09 pm
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, 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 had been fish out of these waters. are part of a new investigation. some these cases, a careful where you walk us,

10:11 pm
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 keep the
10:12 pm
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 ah ah ah ah ah ah
10:13 pm

with us to recognize the non indigenous folks that are supporting as the stand by with the minister trailing when you're feeling guilty it's systemic and reckless discrimination against 1st nation children. you cough up, you pay up and you say story. 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, telling canada that there's a better way forward and that way is respecting the land and respecting the treaties and respecting the people. i am honored to be a mere c. thank you. so charlie angus is
10:17 pm
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 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 then finally break the taboos of colonization. i was almost 40 years old before ever step foot on reserve when i was elected, my region is got some of the poorest for station communities anywhere. and i remember same when i 1st landed in this community. it was just, it looked like a prisoner of the work and i said, what did the other member of parliament say when he came here?
10:18 pm
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 the side, 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 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
10:19 pm
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. 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 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
10:20 pm
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 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. now they're facing in canada. billions of dollars for this generation of indigenous children who are
10:21 pm
being taken away from their families. losing the case against saint ins might bring to light other scandals and cost the state. dear, i welcome to ontario. i left flowers with 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 mpg prime minister to them on 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,
10:22 pm
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 his st and his are better will he instruct his garment to end this obstruction of justice against the survivors saying as wants and far off, 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
10:23 pm
can move forward in a way that is fully respectful of all their rights as we get a get to the bottom of this of 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 when they're telling the public that they, with inside, 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 with 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 keep you keep moving. i my brain. oh,
10:25 pm
of course with recorded line 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. ah, even 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 which 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
10:26 pm
damaged people, but never stop being indian people. ah, we are not free. we are prisoners of canada in 2020, i apologize. apologies. but the reality is, i still have my banner i will continue to fight until they say no more and act no more reserves were free. ah
