I support France Widdowson in her fight for the right to speak and debate these issues. With the Special Interlocutor now calling for "urgent consideration for legal mechanisms to address denialism in both civil and criminal law", we need Frances' strong voice. Freedom of speech is at risk for all Canadians. We need the real truth about Kamloops to be revealed now....the presence of a single grave has not been confirmed. We all need to speak out against this Indigenization to save our freedoms and our country!
Censorship has become the new norm in Canadian Universities.. "Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom - and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is a human right and the foundation upon which democracy is built. Any restriction of freedom of speech is a restriction upon democracy."
For a rational, intelligent person, it must be hell to argue with people who are either stupid or politically driven. Why should this woman's valuable time be taken up fighting such nonsense?
Often overlooked is the establishment of these residential schools were part of the original treaty obligations between the First Nations and the government of Canada. At the time the First Nations leaders recognized that their way of life was gone forever and that next generation needed an education and trade skills in order to fit in the new economy.

Sadly, this discussion has received only 498 views on UA-cam as of June 23, 2023. There should be thousands of views just from Canada, IMO. It is disappointing to see how close-minded Canadian academia as well as Canada's government and institutions have become since 2016 on this issue, as well as many others. At the risk of being labelled a "denialist" (the latest Canadian hate crime du jour), I can understand the desire that drove the RS policies back around the time of Canada's founding in 1867 and later, as the western territories joined into confederation. While there were certainly some bad actors, the overall goals were noble despite the flaws. Interesting that today, we face similar challenges as the school system is trying to once again socially engineer society. Again, the same lack of nuance is thrown at parents who object to the unnatural and radical gender ideology that has appeared out of nowhere in recent years. Any challenges to this new orthodoxy are labelled as being against the entire LGBT group. This view that every ideology, religion or ethnicity represents a monolithic bloc, and that a criticism of any segment of these blocs is an attack on all its constituents, signals the end of any reasoned dialogue on almost any cultural issue. Not a good sign for the future of a multi-cultural society like Canada, in my opinion.
There are a lot more than 5 sensible, honest people in Canada, it is just that the idiots tend to be more vocal ... and more visible like our "beloved" PM.
I could believe that 10-20 bodies are at the Kamloops site. After all, some of the Indigenous knowledge keepers may have been legit; I would hypothesize that a large fraction of the 14 students who were not accounted for, plus a small fraction of the students who were recorded as having died at the School, could have been buried in the Apple Orchard. This story is all about what happens when you have 215 soil disturbances instead of the 10-20 bodies that you had reason to believe might be there. BUT the majority of those kids would have been buried in individual marked graves, given last rites, etc. in the same way as described in volume 4 of the preliminary TRC Report.
If it turns out that no bodies are found, or very few, what about the emotional stories from the Indigenous elders who talk about the children who went missing? How could they not have been accounted for? The sad stories of assimilation attempts by the (insane) Catholic Church are terrible, but a large part of this story is based on buried bodies and the term "genocide". The truth needs to come out, the sooner the better, regardless of what is found. Anyone claiming genocide must be forced to prove that claim.
You have to be kidding.The Kamloops hoax is one of the largest hoaxes ever recorded in the history of Canada. There are no missing children or children buried at Kamloops. No one has named any missing child and no parent has ever reported any child as missing. No genocide occurred.
It is such a shame that certain native people refuse to let the truth come to light. Those elders are living in the past preventing the from moving forward along with anyone that they are indoctrinating. Such a shame.
"Colonialism" is an enormous subject and huge in its continuing impact in all kinds of ways. Colonialism in "settler colonies" like Canada and Australia, two of the so-called "White Dominions," was very different in it nature that what transpired in, say, India or Nigeria. In Western Canada much of the brunt of colonialism impacted Indigenous societies mostly in the twentieth century. The resource takeover is an ongoing process, not some relic from history. The host is far too glib in his explanation of colonialism as some universal pattern that is over and done with. And then there are the questions that arise in "de-colonization," a big topic for, for instance, some of the BRICS countries, the so-called Global South and the so-called Non-Aligned countries during the Cold War and after. George Manuel's book The Fourth World, does a good job of applying the principles of the Non-Aligned movement to Indian Country.

It truly puzzles me why certain native people are so afraid of hearing the other side of the story. Nothing is one sided in this world, yet they would have us think it is. Shame, shame, shame.
Thankfully Frances and an ever growing number of other intelligent well informed people are stepping up to counter the aboriginal activist mafia's mantra of poor poor me, I am just a victim. I deserve lots of money. Well boo hoo. There is a new government on the horizon that will put an end to the graft so best they start leaning how to make do with the billions already handed out.
Thank God for the voice of reason.

Which treaties included details about education?

Frances is one of about five sensible, honest people in Canada.
and i'm not too sure about you and me!!! lololol

woah! GB has at least 15 (not including myself!)
I hope Denis Rancourt is on your list
Finally, some sanity to disrobe The Indigenous Drama Money-making machine.

I’m not sure which side of the debate this is on, going in.
Oh thank god
Debate? Not hardly. There are the tall tales being promulgated by native activists then there is the truth. Frances speaks to the truth.
If it turns out that no bodies are found, or very few, what about the emotional stories from the Indigenous elders who talk about the children who went missing? How could they not have been accounted for?

Absolutely savage.
glad to hear the elders drum her out of Quesnel and cheers to MT Royal. Good heavens lol
A blank mind and an empty mouth response to an important nvestigation. And this is the real problem.

The conquerers have a right to all the land and all the resources they conquered
There's two sides to each story.but if you want any credibility stop misusing the word WOKE. It means beware of danger. Caring love etc
Put a sock in it and go flip some burgers Mrs Widdowson
Could you link to any hard data that counters anything she has said?
