Then how should US genocidal presidents pay, Mr. Frum? When will they pay for Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc?

I could only watch 4 min of this goof ball 😣

And the Old Testament is a book of fiction and not a deed of property to people whose descendants wrote it, David.

Canada has a long tradition of PMs from Quebec. When they attack the history of the country, and sew division, as they generally have not, some people will wonder which community they are really trying to further the interests of. That is a dangerous fuse to light.

And the further dot to connect is that where you see an attempt to polarize and promote racial division, it is an attack on democracy.

The Story of schools is told as though only students attended them. As though there were no teachers or staff, other than in the memories of the complainants. But there were such people, and they were known to people who are alive today. My great aunt was one of them, and she was the most selfless and kind person I know. As were the other members of her family, though she took the path of service. She was also a highly educated woman who was an excellent scholar, the likes of which one rarely encounters in schools today. I did her taxes once, back in the 70s, and she made around 4 thousand dollars, and gave 1/3rd of it away. She raised 4 children. But at least she isn't here to defend herself. Which is the fate that faces all of us.

This Canadian appreciates the moment of clarity on a difficult national conversation that Mr. Frum has provided. Thank you.

Is this the dude who invented the "axis of evil" thingy?

Israelis and Zionists will eventually learn the hard way there is no peace until they make peace with Palestinians. This goes for the current generation as well as their children, grandchildren and further descendants. And just a correction if I may, the recent Iranian hypersonic missile attack on Israel the other day was restricted to military targets only, not on civilians or civilian infrastructure. This is in stark contrast to Israel’s targeting of the entire civilian population of Gaza and southern Lebanon. Gaza has no military Air Force bases. Furthermore, the strikes on Israel destroyed three of of their airforce bases, a fact hidden and kept secret by Israeli military censors. Settlers close to these three bases (Nevatim, Netzarin, and the third base I can’t remember) were requested not to film or reveal footage of these multiple missile strikes. Lastly, these missile strikes were in retaliation for Israel’s egregious and blatant acts of war on Iranian soil in the pst months, and was entirely within their rights as proscribed under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, an entirely legitimate and justifiable act of self-defence against Israeli terrorism and aggression.

Frum lives off his mothers career

The “axis of evil wmd Iraq war” guy schools us with his deep knowledge lol.

David Frum has perfectly articulated how most Canadians view the current situation in Canada. Unfortunately the Liberal government doesn’t share this view. Their current standing in the poles reflects their total mismanagement of this issue. Canada doesn’t need apologies, we need leadership to go forward. Thank you Mr Frum.

Yea its all the fault of Arabs for this mess we are in- as for Israel , God is on their side. Yea sure. Give me a break. So out of touch with reality..........

It’s such a liar…Iran is not going to pay any price! USA didn’t even pay any price in Vietnam war, nuclear bombs testing in Marshall Island and the British stole billions of diamonds from Africa…you have old brain and need to retire!

ZIONISM IS THE WORLDS ENEMY ..."ROSEMARY'S BABY " "THE ZIONIST GREATER NATION OF ISRAEL " AND GUARANTEE OF IMPUNITY AND SUPPORT WITH IMMUNITY ...WAS THE PRICE THE US PAID TO GERMAN AND RUSSIAN ZIONISTS COMMUNISTS AND SOCIALISTS (INTELLECTUALS ) WITH ATOMIC BOMB AND ROCKET MAKING KNOWLEDGE IN THE 1930'S TO DEFECT IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR SERVICES ...IN ORDER TO WIN WWII

Two grown man ? They believe on their own narrative big time , that’s the problem!

Brutal, just brutal.

Terrorists, who makes the call? In my belief the US and Israel are Terrorists. Iranian not even on the American terrorist list or supporter of terrorist. Get out of the US influence and after a few months look back . I think you will change your perspective from stepping back. Hope I hear a calmer and a person with a historic vision next time I listen to you. Do you have a something positive to contribute.

Why isn't the 'genocide' of the actual Indigenous peoples of places like Ontario honoured vs of those who did the genocide? The Petun, Attawandaron, Wenro, Wyandot, Erie were all holocausted to completion by those in the 'dish with one spoon'-baring the Wyandot who were displaced and given refuge in Quebec from the French. All other groups were ritualistically tortured and forcibly indoctrinated into the present tribes who survived. Is it helpful to bring up that genocide, or should we find nuance in it?

It feels to me as though we can't come back from the "Canada is evil" narrative. I hope I am wrong.

David’s remarks expose the deeply misguided and frankly outrageous trajectory of the current "woke" approach to reconciliation in Canada. His frustration is palpable as he calls out the sheer hypocrisy of criminalizing dissent on historical narratives-particularly when those narratives are based on distorted or even discredited claims. The audacity to stifle free speech, under the guise of protecting a so-called "truth," is not only an affront to intellectual honesty but a direct attack on the fundamental principles of free and open debate in a democratic society. This "woke" agenda, which seeks to rewrite history to fit a divisive and victim-obsessed narrative, spits in the face of reason and fairness. David’s insistence on truth and fact-based reconciliation is a powerful indictment of the current trend to silence any opposition to a one-sided version of history that serves political ends rather than genuine justice. It's not reconciliation-it’s manipulation. This disgraceful rewriting of history only serves to deepen division, and it's high time we reject this Orwellian attempt to force-feed Canadians a false narrative under threat of legal consequences.

"America has no friends, only interests." - Dean Acheson.

The bias is impossible to keep hearing. The war narratives by various persons choosing particular sides to "endorse" is just blind stupidity accepting civilian casualties as cannon fodder. T HELL with ALL wars, as every peaceful pilgrim knows in their soul!

Every word is a lie

How many times....Israel into Gaza?????????

What a load. Canada is not an European settler nation like the United States or many other former colonies frankly. There wasn't even one settler language, and the differences mount from there. Stone aged? Yeah, in the stone age maybe. Indigenous societies also evolved, sometimes adapting European technologies more effectively. And vice versa, Canada was surveyed by canoe. So enough of this postering. Our development as a nation was much more organic than Frum is pretending. Frankly this is pointed to with land acknowledgements. It is IS living history. As in, how this nation-state, this citizenship started as treaties between peoples, not stolen or conquered land, and how it evolved, it got built, together, from there. As much as Frum wants to deny it, there were 3 founding peoples, not 2, and that is what land acknowledgements remind us. And from that start, we went from a colonial backwater of two european empires to G7 nation. How many former colonies can boast of that? Zero Secondly, you don't achieve reconciliation by skipping over the findings of the Truth & Reconciliation, and taking the media's superficial version of it, which was mostly wrong. For example, the commission found the unmarked graves is simply a function of successive govts balking at the cost of maintaining them. That's the finding. Not some secret serial killer scheme.

Frum has no credibility whatsoever after Iraq.

The problem is Zionism and its reduction of Palestinians to second class status. Hopefully, Iran and Turkey can get together and get rid of this abomination.

Stop bending the reality. It is Israel terrorist actions that is casing these calamities. Shameful

It is not simply the allegations of genocide that lack legitimacy. It is the central conclusion of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission - that the residential schools were an instrument of cultural genocide - is also false. The proposition of cultural genocide rests on two assertions. That the government of Canada instituted the schools as an instrument for the elimination of indigenous cultures through a purposeful indoctrination of Western religious beliefs. Further, that the children of indigenous families were coerced into attendance at the schools for this purpose. In fact, twelve residential schools existed in Western Canada before Confederation. As J.R, Miller documents in his 1996 book - Shingwauk's Vision: A History of Native Residential Schools - these schools were the product of cooperation between indigenous communities seeking to adapt to the changing circumstances of settlement and what might be termed entrepreneurial evangelicals. The Davin Report, the document which was instrumental in the creation of the residential schools by the newly formed federal government, explicitly based its recommendations on this Western Canada school experience. Nowhere in the report is there any consideration of the use of the schools for the purpose of cultural integration. Further, the establishment of individual schools was almost uniformly a matter of an application for funds by indigenous communities for funds made available through the numbered Treaty process. Within areas covered by a numbered treaty funds were made available to indigenous communities upon application. Applications from communities outside an area covered by a numbered treaty, were generally denied. An exception to this general rule was the small school at Shebunacadie, Nova Scotia - established at the request of a local tribe - which was the only school established with Federal government funding in the entirety of the Maritimes. The Federal government established just five schools on its own initiative. These were designed as schools for advanced vocational training of students deemed promising by other indigenous schools in the federal system. They were focused - not at all on religious instruction - but on transmitting agricultural skills. These schools were the culmination of the ambition of the Davin Report: to advance the vocational training of the indigenous population in order that these skills could be applied in what was - at that time - a largely agricultural economy. That this goal was accomplished is a memory that has largely been forgotten. Forgotten, as well, is the reason that these schools were all shut down by the early 1920's. They were shut down because indigenous families were unwilling to send their children the large distances necessary to attend these advanced schools. Nor was there any legislation available that would have enabled coercion of attendance. It was the very failure of the federal schools that motivated (what was then) the Department of Indian Affairs to introduce coerced school attendance in 1921. It is also a forgotten part of history that this coercion was part of a larger initiative to assimilate indigenous populations into Canadian society through the extinguishment of "Indian status rights". The Bill enacting this change was passed by a Conservative government in 1921 and repealed by Liberals in the following year. The repeal followed active protests of this change to their status rights by indigenous communities. This is a further example of the agency of these communities in affairs important to their interests, an agency that is routinely denied to them by "progressive" historiography. That their protests did not also include animus towards compulsory school attendance is worth considering. Rather, residential school attendance in the years subsequent to 1921 was not compelled because of the reluctance of the RCMP to engage its force in the work of truant agents. There is a memorandum written by Duncan Campbell Scott to the Indian Agents of the DIA requesting that these agents not use the local branches of the RCMP to pursue truants as the police force had begun to charge the Department exorbitant sums for engaging their men in this pursuit. This memorandum was submitted by the Superintendent of the RCMP to the Royal Commission during its hearings. Apparently the Commission did not find it of relevance to its conclusions. What cannot be denied was that there was abuse of students in the schools and that, further, even though the overall administration of the schools was left to the governing bodies put in place by the several churches that ran the individual schools, the ultimate responsibility for these unacceptable transgressions lies with the federal government. However, this is not to say that abuse was some part of a genocidal intent on the part of the government. It has been forgotten that the report of systematic abuse at residential schools occurred not in indigenous schools run by the federal government, but in orphanages operated by the Catholic Church in Newfoundland. Abuse in Canada's indigenous residential schools has to be seen a wider context. Abuse in non-indigenous institutions for the care of children have been reported elsewhere in Canada, notably in Nova Scotia and British Columbia. Similar abuse has been extensively reported on in Boston and its surrounds. There have been recent reports of this sort of abuse in Catholic-run institutions in Portugal, effecting 5000 former child residents. A similar report in France places its estimate of children effected in similar circumstances at 125,000. In none of these latter cases was cultural assimilation or genocide a credible motivation. An alternative explanation is available in the scholarly work of Irving Goffman on "total institutions". That I should be deterred from writing any of this by a statute prohibiting "denialism", is abhorrent to me. The Atlantic Magazine in the US is currently running a series of podcasts on the moves necessary to create an autocracy. The first step in this process - the podcasters assert - is the promulgation of a "big lie". I would suggest that assertions that the establishment of European civilization in North America is inherently evil is one such lie. One that needs to be vigorously and continually contested.

Iran keeps attacking Israel from various directions both directly and with proxies and I agree with David that Israel is fed up and playing on Hezbollah’s current weaknesses which Israel set up in advance. Of course if Trump wins the election everything will change fairly dramatically.

Great Insights ~ so realistic ~ very hard truths

Why would you rehabilitate this neo-con chicken hawk ? Have you forgotten the wars of aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Brilliant

I'm really interested in what the guy who championed the US invasion of Iraq has to say about what the US and Israel should do about Iran😅

Why is this man still speaking? He was the primary advocate of the Iraq war. Now he says Arafat vetoed .. what exactly 25 years ago? They were not offered a Palestinian state for gods sake. And Frum wants an even more belligerent posture towards Russia? Heaven help us all. Please, Frum, take your neocon gang out to pasture and retire.

Frum is a war criminal. Scandalous that he is allowed a public voice.

🇯🇵👷🏻‍♂️🫡

Israel is provoking every country in the region and Frum is really not an honest broker.

There is good money to be made from being a woke advocate/hustler. Nice clean easy work with no goals to be met or targets to achieve. Just make sure that the socioeconomic problems never get solved. It’s bad for business. Also call those ambitious and aspirational indigenous and immigrants traitors to their communities. I believe the preferred derogatory term is “apple”. Red on the outside and white on the inside.

Surprising how much smarter Iranians are than Ashkenazis at these kind of strategic games. Israel is very stressed. Interesting.

Thank you for the very eloquent perspective on Canadian history. Many early settlers in Canada were indentured servants and impoverished workers. Others came over time, escaping war and genocide; Holodomor, Holocaust, Rwanda, Bosnia Herzegovina, etc. We all built this country together. When some Canadian First Nations want lots of Federal money to excavate some land, I can't help but think of the thousands of Indigenous South American's paying Human Traffickers to come to North America for a better life. There's something wrong here. Canada needs to do some critical evaluations of these issues around the entitlement of First Nations people.

I listen to The Hub, and to David Frum, because they are worth listening to.

David forgot to mention the possibility of rescuing the Abraham Accords. If Israel can achieve deterrence over Iran and its proxies, the AA has a chance of uniting many states in the ME, and brining more peace, more prosperity, and for Israel, the security it so craves. Life is for living. ❤

As a First Nation and European originated Canadian love David's opinions on First Nations and Canada.

I agree with the sentiment. Truth and Reconciliation should be about declaring a commitment to a shared future and a common home, not defining battle lines, identifying enemies, or conceding any particular fact. Anyone who tries to do this should be shunned as a race-baiting subversive probably trying to smuggle in God knows what.

Thanks for continuing your discussions with Frum.

Truth and reconciliation day- a holiday set aside for lies and sowing racial hatred.

Great analysis on both issues, Israel / Iran, plus the indigenous grave matter - thank you 🍁

So the mass grave aren't graves at all, but nobody speaks the truth because it is being criminalized as we speak. This sounds like a chapter out of Putin's Russia.
