Canadians should give some thought to the fact that the TRC executive director and commissioners all believed a preposterous conspiracy theory that tens of thousands of indigenous children had been “disappeared” and every prime minister and the millions of Canadians who worked at or knew about the schools kept this gigantic crime a secret for a hundred years

The FIRST question that must be asked at this tribunal is "Please provide us, with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY, evidence of deceased children, including their names and that of their relatives!" This question must be repeated throughout this tribunal if it means being continuously reframed, "Where is the evidence of deceased and missing children, including their names and relatives?" Or "We cannot proceed without documented evidence, including names of ALL the deceased and documentation of every known abuse!" The next question must be, "Millions of taxpayers money has gone into these reports and other public tribunals, yet within ALL of your reports there is NO actual physical evidence proving these allegations, without it they're just stories, provide the names, dates, death certificates, registers etc., for without it there is no case." As for this article, excellent work Ms. Green, you've provided your evidence, disregard any negative comments on how you've presented it, you did the work that didn't.

Correction: it's 'they' didn't not 'that'

Beth, the three little dots at the right margin opposite your name give you the option to edit a comment and save the corrected version. Took me a while to discover that; now I use it a lot : )

The permanent people's tribunal has already made up its mind. It's a kangaroo court.

For example: From the CBC report:

"Moccasins line the wall behind seven international judges from the Permanent People's Tribunal, hearing evidence at the daphne art centre in Montreal.

In front of them, two chairs draped with a blanket hold small red wrapped bundles and two small plates of food.

"The chairs are to recognize those disappeared children that never came home," said Christa Big Canoe, an Anishinaabe lawyer and the lead prosecutor for the tribunal."

There is also no defence. " Inside the art centre, an empty chair was set aside "as a symbol of Canada's defence in this crucial and important and historic event," Big Canoe said.

A real court does not place symbols that favour the prosecution and will cause jury bias in the courtroom before the sessions have even begun. A real court has two sides, prosecution and defence, not just prosecution. That sort of setup was a hallmark of Stalin's show trials. Luckily the court has no power to follow through on its pre determined verdict, as in Stalin's Russia.

Kimberley Murray was the first to testify this week. There are no witnesses for the defence. Nina Green has done a great job here though.

Excellent work by Green, as we are all grateful for defending Canadian Rights for Justice against false accusations for the past 30 years without proof of genocide at any time in Canadian History! Thank you!

More excellent work and a very clear exposition of the facts that would seem to be undeniable, except that the powers that be seem to deny them.

Good work by Green but she really needs to stop using rhetorical questions in her titles.

The PPT is worthless beyond anything else than a crank amplifier. They have no one speaking for the Defence which in any real court would be cause for dismissal as a mistrial.

Green is great.

Your comment is fair.

Michael Melanson's avatar

She is a great researcher and sharp mind. My quibble is one of style. If I know the answer to the question in the title, why bother reading the rest?

Foe's avatar

Yep. I second your quibble.

& reiterate that Green is a treasure!

Hopefully, one day Canada will recognize how much Green has done for us.

This whole fn industry is a grift that tears at Canada's social fabric.

Kimberly Murray has a long and untroubled propensity for being wrong. Her “indictment against Canada, read out to the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal on 25 May 2026 by prosecutor Christa Big Canoe, accuses Canada of genocide and crimes against humanity.” So she’s wrong again.

How long are the people & politicians going to put up with this BS ?

The constant allegations and whining with ZERO proof to back it up .

The money still keeps flowing to the indians, so I guess they still have a winning strategy .

Thank you, Nina! This Murray character obviously has a mission - destructive and erosive though it might be! It's tragic that Canadian msm are unlikely to question the verdict of such a court. Just wait for the nyt and the Guardian to trumpet the cbc and ctv takes to an international audience. Deja vu.

"How long are the people & politicians going to put up with this BS ?"

Ask our supposed 'Conservative' Party of Canada about that.

What we’re seeing is the compounded grief of lost family members, lost relationships, misspent youths, and a thousand other personal tragedies over the decades re-emerging in a commiserative, fictional form as the products of the residential schools and colonialism. Some of the people suffering from this delusion are not mentally stable enough (or cognitively sound enough) to see what’s going on, and I hold no grudge against those poor folks. They’ve been offered a way to turn their deceased loved ones into tragic heroes and heroines, their negligent and/or abusive parents into blameless victims. They’re even able to heroize themselves, suddenly getting attention, deference and sympathy for their many sorrows, and absolution for their personal failings. Their trauma is real, and they’d like to believe all this public grieving is somehow helping — while the despairing younger generation continues to die from violence and addiction.

No, I hold no ill feeling towards those individuals; I wish someone could get through to them that real “healing” means moving on from grief and disappointment, not amplifying it, ruminating on it, and making it the core of one’s identity.

As for people like Kimberly Murray? No sympathy whatsoever. She’s a narcissistic manipulator who is riding her own personal losses to the rescue and pretending she’s an ally to a suffering Indigenous population, because it amplifies her own importance. She’s been exploiting her miniscule Indigenous ancestry for so many years to prop up her career and amplify her supposed empathy and allyship that it’s become her entire identity. Perhaps I should feel sorry for her, because she’s clearly delusional and possibly mentally ill — but I don’t. She’s a treasonous, self-serving pooh-bah, and I hope to see her exposed before I die. Nina's work will be a crucial part of the take-down.

There is no truth and I don't need to reconcile anything.

Murray should be arrested for fraud.

Another major issue in this situation that has either been overlooked or denied is the role the WEF and UN have played in this. There is no doubt that Trudeau was 'groomed' by the latter organizations with the intent to exacerbate this issue by purposefully igniting further divisions between the First Nations culture and many Canadians due to his dramatic photo op that appeared worldwide painting Canada in a horrifically bad light. The abject failure in all of this is that without truth there can never be any reconciliation that will unite this country. This has been orchestrated by the WEF and UN. They are using the FN culture to destabilize Canada in their quest for world domination and yet this is unseen by many, yet it has been their modus operandi among other schemes they've cooked up. Think about it! This untenable situation is both an INSULT to the First Nations culture, for they have been intentionally 'played' by those with ulterior motives, and an INSULT to Canadians for having been demoralized on the world stage as a genocidal country, which has been brutally compared to that of WW2 Germany. If we want to dissect that last sentence, we need to focus our attention onto the antics of the last 5 years that have driven families, friends, and CULTURES apart in relation to how a small mustache fellow gained overwhelming control of an entire nation using the warring tactics of divide and conquer and mind control through his national media. All the elements of history are there, is it being repeated? You bet your life it is and it's destroyed the very fabric of our country. ALL of us need not be ashamed, for we have been psychologically abused by those in positions of power who knew the truth of many things but deceived us, slight of hand, like any good magician does. Open your eyes wider and for there is great sadness permeating this country, all by design.

It was always a sham. Engineered to arrive at a predetermined outcome.
