The CBC helped fuel a national reckoning in 2021 with unverified claims of children’s remains at Kamloops—and still hasn’t owned up, argues Marco Navarro Genie. The public broadcaster’s credibility is on the line, from misleading headlines to ombudsman complaints and backstage media access. If truth matters in reconciliation, Navarro-Genie says, CBC must fess up or risk further eroding trust in Canada’s institutions.
UBC faces a lawsuit from professors and a PhD graduate claiming the university’s land acknowledgments and EDI mandates violate its legal duty to remain non political. Senior Fellow Hymie Rubenstein highlights how UBC’s declarations of “unceded” land go beyond symbolism, implying legal conclusions that Canadian courts have not affirmed. The case questions whether universities can impose political orthodoxy without breaching legal neutrality.
Senior Fellow Rodney Clifton calls for renewed scientific scrutiny of two major Canadian narratives: COVID-19 policies and the Kamloops residential school claims. He argues that both bypassed rigorous, evidence-based evaluation, favouring politicized consensus. Critics of pandemic measures, like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, were wrongly dismissed despite valid concerns. Similarly, the unverified mass grave claims in Kamloops were accepted without forensic proof. Clifton urges a return to the scientific principle of “trust but verify” to safeguard truth, public policy, and democracy.
Senior Fellow Brian Giesbrecht argues Pope Francis’s off-the-cuff “genocide” comment on Canada’s residential schools handed activists a powerful narrative and Parliament a shortcut to condemnation. With no evidence of remains in Kamloops, MPs still passed a genocide motion in 47 seconds—spurred by papal words and media heat. When history hinges on hearsay, truth takes a back seat.
