Geneva, 14 September 2023 -- The World Health Organization (WHO)-hosted global conference on patient safety and patient engagement
concluded yesterday with agreement across a broad range of stakeholders
on a first-ever Patient safety rights charter. It outlines the core
rights of all patients in the context of safety of health care and seeks
to assist governments and other stakeholders to ensure that the voices
of patients are heard and their right to safe health care is protected.
“Patient
safety is a collective responsibility. Health systems must work
hand-in-hand with patients, families, and communities, so that patients
can be informed advocates in their own care, and every person can
receive the safe, dignified, and
compassionate care they deserve,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus,
WHO Director-General. “Because if it’s not safe, it’s not care.”
Patient safety
is an ethical and moral imperative grounded in the health care
principle ‘First, do no harm!’, which lies at the heart of efforts to
ensure high-quality health care systems and achieve universal health
coverage. Yet, an estimated one in every 10 patients experience harm in
health care facilities and each year there are more than three million
deaths globally due to unsafe health care.
Most
of the patient
harm is preventable, and the engagement of patients, families and
caregivers is one of the most important strategies for reducing harm.
This year’s World Patient Safety Day
seeks to highlight the critical importance of listening to patients,
families and caregivers, learning from their experiences, and involving
them in every aspect of care, to avoid harm, lower the risk of errors
and reduce the impact of harm when it does occur. This requires a shift
in paradigm, from care designed for patients to care designed with
patients, their families and caregivers.
"Our
health systems are stronger, our work is empowered, and
our care is safer when patients and families are alongside us,” said Sir
Liam Donaldson, WHO Patient Safety Envoy. “The journey to eliminate
avoidable harm in health care has been a long one, and the stories of
courage and compassion from patients and families who have suffered harm
are pivotal to driving change and learning to be even safer."
The global conference on patient engagement for patient safety was the key event to mark World Patient Safety Day
(WPSD) which will be observed on 17 September under the theme “Engaging
patients for patient safety”. Meaningful involvement of patients,
families and caregivers
in the provision of health care, and their experiences and perspectives,
can contribute to enhancing health care safety and quality, saving
lives and reducing costs, and the WPSD aims to promote and accelerate
better patient and family engagement in the design and delivery of safe
health services.
The
conference was held on 12 and 13 September at WHO headquarters in Geneva
and online, with the participation of more than 2 300 people from all
six WHO regions, including patient advocates and representatives of
patients’ organizations, who took an active role in the development of
the Patient safety rights charter, a significant step forward in the
global commitment to safer health systems. Its advanced version will be
released and open for public consultation as part of the activities to
commemorate World Patient Safety Day
2023.
At the conference,
WHO unveiled two new resources to support key stakeholders in
implementing involvement of patients, families and caregivers in the
provision of health care. Drawing on the power of patient stories,
which is one of the most effective mechanisms for driving improvements
in patient safety, a storytelling toolkit will guide patients and
families through the process of sharing their experiences, especially
those related to harmful events within health care. The Global Knowledge
Sharing Platform, created as part of a strategic partnership with
SingHealth Institute for Patient Safety and Quality Singapore, supports
the exchange of global resources, best practices, tools and resources
related to patient safety, acknowledging the pivotal role of knowledge
sharing in advancing safety.
“Patient engagement and empowerment is at the core of the Global Patient Safety Action Plan
2021–2030. It is one of the most powerful tools to improve patient
safety and the quality of care, but it remains an untapped resource in
many countries, and the weakest link in the implementation of patient
safety measures and strategies. With this World Patient Safety Day and
the focus on patient engagement, we want to change that”, said Dr Neelam
Dhingra, head of the WHO Patient Safety Flagship.
According to the interim results
of the 2023 survey of WHO Member States on the implementation of the
global patient safety action plan, only 13% of responding countries have
a patient representative on the governing board (or an equivalent
mechanism) in the majority of their hospitals. The survey also
highlighted the income-based implementation gap, with good practices
largely concentrated in higher-income countries.
World
Patient Safety Day was established by the same resolution to increase
public awareness and engagement, enhance global understanding, and work
towards global solidarity and action by countries and partners
to promote safety in health care. Each year a theme is selected to shed
light on a priority area critical to patient safety.
say that's gone is to say almost nothing Canada [Music] under Justin Trudeau the former British
0:14
colony has sought to position itself as the global Bastion of progressive politics we have become a totalitarian
0:22
state as his cultural revolution chose no sign of abating I went to Canada to
0:28
find out how ordinary Canadians are dealing with Trudeau's radical reforms
0:33
the sexualization has become militarized from the promotion of gender ideology
0:40
what the is that do you want to talk about it to the legalization of drugs overdoses are up violent crime is
0:47
up it's it's a jungle radical new suicide laws do you think that they want
0:52
you dead yes I I think that's right and clampdowns on
0:58
freedom of speech I think our leader Trudeau I don't think
1:04
I've ever heard him say a true word all this nonsense about compassion is the
1:09
manipulations of snakes pulling in the useful idiots who perhaps are genuinely
1:14
compassionate and that's Canada [Music]
1:21
my name is Steve ington and I'm a journalist from the telegraph I began my
1:26
investigation of Canada in one of the country's most liberal cities Vancouver
1:36
so we're here on Vancouver's downtown east side where the situation whether it's open drug use or violent crime just
1:44
continues to get worse and every possession of hard drugs including heroin cocaine and Fentanyl has been
1:51
legalized in the city to find out the impact of these new laws Aaron I met up with Aaron Gunn a
1:59
filmmaker who has documented a rise in homelessness and crime in Canada in
2:04
recent years Aaron tell us a bit about what you do here what I do here well I just came off
2:10
filming two documentaries in the downtown east side of Vancouver documenting the incredible increases in
2:16
homelessness kind of just general societal chaos and the explosion of open drug use here in the streets of
2:22
Vancouver and really on the streets of every major Canadian city what's going on in Vancouver then we've seen the
2:28
street order explode we've seen open drug use explode overdose deaths are up
2:33
more than one thousand percent in the past 10 years here in British Columbia The Province where Vancouver is we saw
2:39
more than 2 000 British Columbians died last year from overdoses alone every day
2:45
in Vancouver four people are randomly attacked who is to blame for this chaos
2:51
in Vancouver well what I was told when I was making the documentary by one small business owner is you get what you
2:57
tolerate would you like to add something
3:02
why is that making a documentary
3:07
yeah
3:12
yeah I'm not making money off of this I'm not even this isn't my documentary
3:18
all right let's move let's go yep
3:26
so we were just filming on a corner near Hastings Street which is where some of the worst homelessness is and a lot of
3:31
people
came up to you they seem to know who you are can you kind of explain
what happened yeah we didn't get very far through the
3:37
interview did we yeah it was just uh we haven't been back here since Canada's dying blew up whenever somebody suggests
3:42
for example that handing out more hard drugs or destigmatizing drugs like
3:48
Fentanyl and crystal meth might actually be making the problem worse I don't think that's a radical position to take
3:53
it was pretty much a consensus up until five minutes ago and now when you put a documentary out about it
3:59
um you put a put a lot of people up against the wall and I think that's what we saw these issues are impacting many
4:05
cities around the world San Francisco being one of them Portland in the United States what is it about Canada
4:11
specifically that has caused this huge rise in homelessness and crime there's
4:16
nowhere in the world as far as I know that has engaged in this level of permissiveness when it comes to these
4:23
dangerous addictive substances like Fentanyl and crystal meth and I think there is the root of the problem if you
4:28
could snap your fingers and get rid of these drugs tomorrow you would solve 80 percent of these problems
4:34
come on another filmmaker who explores the streets of Vancouver is Chris Elston
4:42
better known online as billboard Chris Chris agreed that I could join him on
4:48
one of his outings in the city my whole goal is to start conversations it's to have conversations and start
4:53
conversations
so that was really effective so I had some signs made I had two signs
made they said gender ideology does not belong in schools and when you
5:00
talk about this all hell breaks loose gender ideology what the is that do you want to talk about it I swear 78 and
5:08
I've always been clear okay what does that mean to be queer I like men I've always liked me
5:15
I'm a gay man I'm not queer well I like that I'm not here the weird thing idiot
5:20
it's just a word I didn't identify as clear okay close minded to accept some other words
5:28
okay I'm gay I just wanted you to know I've known once I came out I realized
5:33
that I've always wanted us okay can I have a conversation with you for a second
5:40
okay
let's just let's just slow down for a minute can I have a conversation
with you no because I got a doctor's appointment I gotta go okay I
support
5:47
the gay community 100 okay we shouldn't be giving I'm gay I'm gay
5:59
that's right I'm gay and you know when I was young I was a feminine big kid you
6:05
know if I was a gay feminine kid today they would have they've worked out the old dick saw you
6:11
know what I mean yeah they would have taken my manhood yeah these kids who would grow up to be gay today are being
6:17
taught that just because they're effeminate little boys that they must be treated racing a gay of like gay men and
6:23
lesbians if a boy is a permanent if a girl's masculine beautiful right what's wrong with that right I don't know what
6:29
happened to the Western World I haven't lived in Canada for 30 years but it has changed man 30 years ago this would this
6:37
would be unconceivable I don't like even coming back to the West you know I don't recognize it anymore you know you're the
6:43
man thanks brother appreciate you Canadians don't want to be on camera if they're supporting this it's pretty rare
6:49
why because they might get in trouble at their job they're not all afraid and we'll run into them if we stay here long
6:54
enough
but if people will have any sort of corporate job or work for the
government they don't want to be on camera they're going to get in
trouble
7:00
are you worried about talking about this sort of thing because of your job and things like that yes what happens if you
7:05
say the wrong thing what could happen to you there's ostracism ostracism a lot of ridicule and mockery I've worked at
7:11
other places with Evangelical Christians Etc who have stood up for their faith
7:16
and the ridicule begins I'm technically a leftist but the way everything slid
7:24
sideways now people say well you're a conservative I really like your videos thank you sir I believe what you say
7:30
everyone goes through different things at different stages in life and people are just jumping to conclusions instead
7:35
of just letting it happen as it is when kids go through puberty they usually figure it out like my mother she's a
7:41
lady full biological female and when she was younger she didn't like doing the girl things she's always said didn't
7:47
make her a boy and a girl's clothes so you're touching on what this entire ideology is based on it's based on one
7:53
thing only stereotypes yeah that if you don't conform to stereotypes that maybe
7:58
you're not the sex that you are what utter nonsense this is the most regressive ideology in history so what
8:04
do you think of Chris then I think he's doing some work that people need to be
8:09
informed my brother liked to hang out with the neighbor who's the girl and she had Barbies and all you ever do was go
8:15
over there play with parties well in today's society and my parents would have had to
8:21
mutilated because otherwise they would have been would have been taken away thanks man yeah thank you thank you to
8:26
find out more about the consequences of questioning gender ideology in Canada I
8:31
met up with Amy ham a nurse based in British Columbia why don't you tell me a bit about
8:37
yourself so I'm a registered nurse by a profession and I also do some freelance
8:45
writing and journalism and I'm a single mom with two boys I have a four-year-old
8:51
and a six-year-old's son and I guess in the past
8:57
six maybe seven years I started writing and talking about gender ideology I'm
9:05
fighting to maintain my nursing license so what sparked this all off why did
9:10
this all start the two members of the public who complained to my regulatory
9:16
body were incensed by my involvement in putting up an i heart JK Rowling
9:21
billboard this billboard got a lot of attention in Vancouver that has a huge
9:26
population of very hyper woke kind of Lefty people and that triggered an
9:33
investigation Canadians are known as the world's politest people
9:38
do you think that that's a misconception in terms of how you've been treated by some Canadians yeah I I don't think
9:46
Canadians are necessarily polite maybe it's more passive aggressive could be
9:52
the right word and if you hear psychologists talk about the way that some people deal with
9:59
disagreement it can be like physical aggression or you can do more psychological things like reputational
10:06
destruction and trying to destroy someone that way and I think as a country it's almost as if Canadians have
10:12
chosen to do that that's why cancel culture feels like here
10:21
the promotion of transgenderism in Canadian schools has led to a fierce backlash from some parents not least
10:29
those who come from Canada's ethnic minority communities multiculturalism has become a key pillar
10:36
of Justin Trudeau's vision of Canadian identity in Toronto I caught up with a family
10:43
originally from India to discuss their experiences of modern Canada
10:49
Hello nice to meet you nice to meet you Stephen Stephen you're already shooting we're already
10:55
shooting bang bang shooting upstairs mom Steven Steven hey Mom how's it going
11:03
so tell me your background when did you move to Canada I'm Indian I came from
11:08
India after marriage came to Canada in 1974 July when you came to Canada what
11:15
was it like and how has it changed in terms of multiculturalism racism was there they're not happy that other
11:22
colors are coming so they were throwing eggs and calling their names
11:28
many things were happening but still that gone very soon after 1980 it it
11:35
started improving now so many taxes they are increasing increasing it looks like
11:42
that 50 50. 50 government is taking from us and we have only 50. that's not fair
11:48
and before we were happy like living like middle families Justin Trudeau says
11:54
that he represents people like you he says that he loves multiculturalism he
12:00
loves the fact that Canada is so Multicultural so many different people from different societies do you think
12:05
that he takes your vote for granted yeah definitely he took our granted and he is
12:13
saying Multicultural he loves multiculture we love Multicultural too I think every human like it
12:20
but uh bringing from every country and not seeing their back records so many
12:27
criminals can come too and crime gonna go very high so there should be some
12:34
standard to bring people so niranjan why don't you tell me a bit about your background as well
12:40
so I was born here a year after my mother arrived I was born and raised 70s 80s kid growing up in an 80s 90s Canada
12:48
where I was privy to multiculturalism in a very organic way it wasn't some United
12:54
color of Benetton commercial this was full on everyone taking the piss and laughing at everyone else making fun of
13:00
accents we all got to tease one another playing street hockey with a ridiculously curved sticks but to use
13:06
their language you are a diverse individual and they would expect you to
13:11
have a certain set of beliefs that come along with that 100 but you don't absolutely not because I'm not stupid
13:17
it's very transparent I work in a community that is all about the hustle sex workers drug sellers pimps you know
13:24
everyone's hustling to make it I am used to being around people lying all the
13:30
time so when such a big hustle is being thrown in my face I mean I've been around it for you know like I said
13:36
almost 15 years now it's so obvious I'm just like that's just a hustle that's not even good hustle you've got a son
13:42
grandson um and you've experienced the gender ideology
13:50
being pushed on your child can you tell us what happened you know
13:56
my son goes to an alternative school within the Toronto District School Board which is focuses on the on the Arts and
14:02
social justice in the last few years the sexualization has become militarized
14:09
it has gone full no pun intended balls to the wall they're full on aggressively
14:15
ramming it down no pun intended everyone's throats it's a Wednesday at
14:20
around 6 PM I get an email that says tomorrow is gender Odyssey please bring
14:25
your
kids to school with the other opposite genders clothing we're going to
have a fashion show the teachers are going to address in the opposite
gender
14:31
clothing we're going to have a presentation for the kids again we're talking kids from you know grade four
14:37
kids from the ages of four all the way up to 11 12. and I was like what they
14:43
ask me and send me emails and forms to sign when he's crossing the street to go to the you know for a field walking trip
14:51
and yet they're gonna start teaching my son about sexuality other genders and God knows what other aspects of
14:57
sexuality
they're going to bring into it without my permission and that I'm
supposed to send him to school with girls clothing so that he can dress
up
15:04
as
a girl and then have a fashion show with all this happening I was like
no that's not going to happen and that's the other thing at school they
always
15:10
have the cultural month so when it's the South Asian month they've combined us with so it's just Asian months and so me
15:16
and the East Asians and the parents who are they want us to come in they want us to cook the stereotypical Indian and
15:21
Chinese
food they want us to come and talk about Indian culture Sports and
languages and things and things like that there's a double-edged sword
we're
15:27
like we want your food we want the kitchen to camp and we're on everything we want the image of what your culture
15:33
is to come in and then leave but don't bring your actual fundamental beliefs about God
15:38
spirituality and generational like responsibility don't bring any of that we don't want that do you think that
15:45
Canada is a warning for what can happen if things go so bad Canada is an
15:50
experimental ground for sure right it's a
15:55
very and New Zealand as well these are great places that don't have the amount
16:01
of tradition and it's not close to home like if England's gonna fall you know these extremities are going to fall
16:07
first part of Canada's social Revolution can
16:14
be witnessed in its extreme new euthanasia laws in 2016 Justin Trudeau's
16:21
government passed legislation enabling assisted suicide for terminally ill
16:26
Canadians to find out more I traveled to Montreal to meet with Christine
16:34
Christine thank you so much for allowing us into your beautiful home why don't you tell me a bit about your
16:40
story your background I served 10 years in regular Force Canadian Armed Forces
16:46
and artillery I soon early got injured training when I jumped into a trench my
16:52
knee fennel joint and the spine followed not only were you a veteran you also
16:58
became a paralympian about 2008 I was introduced to kayak
17:05
showed some talent in it or I was approached to try out the Sprint kayak
17:11
and I did and became a five-time world champion wow the first thing I remember feeling
17:18
when I was on the water was this sense of Serenity and platitude that I
17:24
had not felt for so long to me it was as if I just found
17:30
another way to keep serving my country so you've done a lot for your country
17:36
how do you feel Canada has treated you in return
17:43
completely abandonment there was a time at first when I first
17:48
became a veteran the services were a lot better since I became a veteran in 1998
17:55
the government has gone to sell out or privatize our services now it's the
18:02
second time and they've just done it again now it took 12 years between renewals of my
18:08
wheelchairs we're allowed to have one every five years I don't like to have to ask it's been
18:14
five years give me a new one if it still work it still works but 12 years it's not normal you know seven years
18:22
after my my wheelchair I asked for the second one and it took five years to get it this is completely ridiculous
18:29
I'm in the works right now waiting for the renewal of a elevator to be able to
18:34
access outside my house can you tell us what happened when you asked for this was it the the ramp outside you needed
18:42
yes I said you know I I just can't keep going like this I can't keep living like this like with this has to be done this
18:48
has to be resolved and the person stated you know Madam go tea if you really feel you can't go on like this if you refill
18:54
you can't do it anymore you know you have the right to die so it's like wow I can't believe you
19:01
know after all of this time not only will you not give me the equipment I need to live but you will
19:07
help me die I have been suicidal an incomplete desperation for
19:13
the last 10 15 years and suddenly you just come out and tell me you know if you really can't go on
19:20
anymore and you feel you can't do it anymore you just you know you have the right to die
19:25
uh yeah it's really hard to understand this when you still
19:31
is or maybe blinded enough or something enough to believe and think that your government is there to help you
19:38
and not to to end your life because you're becoming too pricey or too too much of a problem
19:48
but presumably you want to live and this person telling you that you had the
19:54
right to die must have been one of the most awful things that anyone
20:00
could tell you after all of the things that you've been through yes I think that if I had
20:07
I want to live nobody ever asked me like of course if someone asked me what do you want to do
20:12
today well if I had the choice I would want to go and run I would want
20:17
to go and do many things so right now yes I would like to be able to live but with autonomy and dignity I do
20:25
things for myself as much as possible how many other cases do you think there could be in Canada like yours
20:32
oh my God I I'm I'm terrified to hear the numbers because like I said personally I didn't
20:39
even know they were others whether you push someone in despair enough for them
20:44
to commit suicide which we all know the numbers are astronomic for veteran suicide
20:50
or whether they get to have the attention enough to get made it's not different it is the same for me
20:57
whether you will provide the the room to do it or so or just let them let them
21:03
crawl into their own home and die what's the difference for myself
21:11
I've had been closed many times of committing the
21:16
ACT if I'd not been from my mother still there and somehow are calling me at this
21:24
moment or for these my dog coming and sitting litters on me
21:30
when I was about to do it whether they were I don't explain why
21:36
and how this has happened but it did I don't think it's a government's place or an Hospital's place to decide yeah
21:43
okay you're a little depressed this week Here sign these people this paper three times I will ask you you sure you want
21:49
to die oh yeah I think it's wrong I think it's wrong and I think it's Just Gonna Keep
21:57
drawing this country into a deeper deeper that deeper home
22:04
not everyone is opposed to the euthanasia laws I spoke to a clinician who assesses and administers assisted
22:12
dying so most of my career has been with abortion care Women's Health Reproductive Rights social justice
22:18
and
then I've just tried to integrate what I believe in with what's
happening on the ground and so when the legislation came through and
assisted
22:25
dying it was the same year that we got Memphis in Canada so Memphis the drug that people can take a tablet for
22:31
abortion so my skills and need for doing surgical abortion was limited and I thought oh there's an interesting change
22:37
in the law happening which is also about social justice which is also about a person's autonomy I wonder if I might
22:44
like to get involved in that in terms of the future of the made legislation there's some interesting developments
22:50
going on can you talk a bit about about that so what we are anticipating in next
22:55
march is that the legislation will not have mental illness or mental health
23:01
disorders as a restriction if a person's only reason for seeking
23:07
assist to death is that they have a severe and incurable mental health disorder then they can consider their
23:14
application considered to be assessed we know from people who attempt to commit suicide who are depressed or have have
23:21
mental health issues but who survive some of them say that they regretted it you're adding a new layer of controversy
23:27
I suppose I'm quite reassured that the level of scrutiny and the level of assessment is very tight I do believe
23:34
that the clinicians are involving quite a number of Consultants to determine eligibility Canada has changed a lot in
23:40
the last few decades as you mentioned multiculturalism all sorts of people's beliefs around and religion in
23:47
particular from a Christian perspective suicide is seen as a sin do you think that Canada has become a post-christian
23:53
nation I don't think Canada was ever fully a Christian Nation because it has such a strong indigenous culture which
23:58
obviously is not not Christian of course in its core I agree in many religions
24:04
that's suicide is not considered all right having said that I have dealt with
24:10
a number of situations in assisted dying where there has been a priest present
24:15
and we have together formally ended that person's life one other area where Canada perhaps
24:22
shows itself to be unique in the West in terms of issues of morality
24:27
are these new laws around assisted dying what they call euphemistically made oh
24:34
yeah yeah Orwell spitting in his grave do you think that in a Christian Nation this would happen and has Canada become
24:41
the first real post-christian Nation well we're not as post-christian as you can get
24:48
but yes I would say in the west are we the first one
24:54
we're
certainly in the we're in the Front Runners and no I don't think it
would happen in a truly Christian Society and I think Christianity and
and
25:02
and Judaism for that matter and in all likelihood Islam is actually a bulwark against such things because at least
25:09
you start with the metaphysical presumption at least in the judeo-christian Corpus that
25:16
there's some you know each person carries with them a spark of the Divine that the state has no right to interfere
25:24
with in the least quite the contrary must be respectful of and independent of that I also think that if you're the
25:30
sort of fool who thinks that the government should have the power to Aid people in their own death well you've
25:36
got a lot of thinking to do buddy because why would you presume that the government is trustworthy enough to
25:42
do that I'm an opponent of capital punishment not because I don't think there are crimes that are sufficiently
25:47
highness to deserve death because there certainly are and if you don't know that you don't know anything about crime and
25:53
then now we're giving the state that power well on compassionate grounds
26:02
for a nation to be truly woke it must have its own Narrative of Oppression in
26:07
America activists focus on the country's history of slavery and racist laws
26:13
in Britain they focus on the Empire to try to understand Canada's equivalent
26:18
narrative I spoke with David Lee's of the frontier Center for Public Policy
26:24
today we're going to be talking about your rights and freedoms these work campaigns they all have their own
26:31
narratives and histories and backstories and heroes that they take from history in Canada what do they focus on well in
26:38
Canada we don't really have much of a history of slavery at all so I think that when it comes to our
26:46
very mixed relationship with indigenous peoples the story of our relationship
26:52
with indigenous peoples particularly through residential schools is a very classic case to be used then as our
26:59
critical race Theory issue so in Canada there is this narrative around What's
27:05
called the indigenous genocide can you just break that down for a British audience in Canada we have been fed a
27:13
narrative that we're a genocidal nation and it these are horrific types of
27:19
claims to make especially for Canadians because Canadians deeply care about fellow Canadians and including
27:25
indigenous people now there have been historically many examples of of poorly
27:31
thought out and conceived policies against indigenous people but it's it's
27:36
a narrative that does not do justice to the History part of that is through the the residential school story where where
27:43
the country of its day was trying to figure out well how do we engage indigenous people in this new economy
27:50
and so education was always seen as it is today as a key door opening to
27:57
integrating people into Canadian Society let's talk more about this Kamloops Mass
28:02
grave site so the Kamloops band which is the sort of group of indigenous people
28:07
there they put out a statement a few years ago saying that they'd found this Mass grave site and they'd done some
28:14
scans of the grounds and they claimed that there were 215 disturbances within
28:20
the grounds which they said were evidence of human remains even children who were basically being killed or wiped
28:27
out is that actually evidence of a genocide have they dug up the grounds have they found the bodies no evidence
28:33
has been found to date in fact the sonar seeking devices are not indications of
28:40
any grave to suggest otherwise is utter non so those claims need to be investigated
28:46
like any other claim of a crime scene they need to be looked at as you say
28:51
crucially they haven't actually dug up these sites no they've not been excavated they've not been exhumed or or
28:58
anything like that so it has really become a kind of a bizarre type of claim this is not just simply about the story
29:06
of residential schools this is the story of how a nation has I Believe been
29:12
infected by a really destructive hate-filled ideology of wokism we are
29:18
truly the canary in the coal mine when it comes to G7 countries so you could
29:23
actually be facing prison time potentially if you question this indigenous genocide
29:29
narrative well certainly if you listen to the openness of the current Ministry of Justice federally yes we have a risk
29:38
that they will seek to criminalize any questioning of the residential school
29:44
narrative or the claims of mass Graves which is utterly absurd part of History
29:49
part of science is being open-minded to healthy debate and evidence seeking as
29:55
we work to find the truth together that's part of civilization
30:00
questioning the indigenous genocide story already has its consequences
30:06
one such dissenter is Jim who I met in his home in Vancouver so you were a
30:12
teacher you're no longer a teacher why one day two years ago I was teaching calculus
30:19
12. to so older students and news had broken right across the world about 215
30:27
children being murdered and an Indian residential school and I thought well that's not really right that doesn't
30:33
make sense teaches don't murder their own children it's not good for one's careers but much more seriously it's uh
30:40
this is such a you can't bear Witnesses commandment nine says in the Bible
30:46
against your neighbor bear false testimony without having evidence of that truth so all I said that day to
30:54
students and I was expected to to reproduce a narrative about oh yes white
31:00
Christians who just made a mess of candidate and had done so forever and they were Mass murderers now and and in
31:06
Canada the men and women in this particular School in in Kamloops it was oblate priests and brothers and sisters
31:14
of Saint Anne they devoted themselves fully to the education of young people they came from from Europe to do so the
31:21
idea that they put children in incinerators or hang them and secretly bury them at night and all that sort of
31:27
stuff it's just why why would you say that to students if it's not true all I said was the kids died from
31:34
disease and they did die from disease nobody has since question but I was
31:39
walked
out within half an hour of mentioning that one comment saying
suggesting I didn't even say it wasn't but the very suggestion that it
wasn't
31:46
genocide they walked to Vice principals walk me frog marked me out of the school
31:51
and I haven't been teaching since and and I've been told that I never will do you think that Canada is worse than
31:58
other nations well I've heard many people say that it's worse in Canada than elsewhere we've gone off the rails
32:05
more than probably anywhere else in the world and as a teacher for me to be afraid to tell kids that there's such
32:12
things as boys and girls you know it's gone a little bit ridiculous oh
32:18
foreign from spreading it's important to have a
32:23
strong opposition party Canada's conservatives have been historically weak in pushing back
32:29
against Trudeau so be strong thank you yeah you want to take a photo to discuss
32:35
the failure of Canada's conservatives I met with the leader of a rival right-wing party Maxine Bernier thank
32:42
you I always fight for you thank you thank you have a nice day thank you does that happen often yeah sometime yeah so
32:50
Maxime for British viewers who don't know who you are or what party you found it can you explain your story yes I'm uh
32:57
Maxim Bernier I'm the founder of the People's Party of Canada we created that
33:02
party in 2018 but before that I was a conservative you know I was elected in
33:08
2006 and I was part of the Harper government the conservative government here in Canada they don't have any
33:15
principles they're just you know they try to everything to be elected and I
33:21
said you know I don't want to be part of that but isn't it the case that the conservative have a new leader Pierre
33:27
polio who's far more conservative and more on the right than Andrew Shear or
33:33
the previous leaders so he's taking the party more in your direction I suppose so what's the point in in you in that in
33:39
that sense but Pierre poliev was a real conservative during the leadership contest because he knew that to be the
33:47
leader of the Conservative Party of Canada you must speak like a conservative so we did that now his goal
33:53
like Andrew Shear is to be the Prime Minister and we know that the big cities are leftists and liberals so what is
34:01
doing is going to the left to be sure to be elected and that's why he's not speaking against Mass immigration that's
34:08
why you know he's okay with the radical gender ideology that's why polio voted
34:13
for the bill C4 the bill C4 in Canada is the bill that criminalized parents and
34:20
therapists who want to help gender dysphoria kids and if you do that you
34:29
may go in jail up to five years but that bill also is doing the promotion of the
34:36
transition and for me there's no transition you have boys and girls and girls cannot be a boy and a boy cannot
34:43
be a girl but for the conservative and every Member of Parliament voted for
34:48
that bill voted for the bill C4 so we don't have any opposition in Parliament right now in Ottawa so we're next to the
34:55
statue of John a McDonald yeah you can't see him yeah there's actually a little sign on you know he's been boarded up
35:02
why is he being boarded up because of the the woke ideology and they try to
35:07
impose their history on us the new vision of this country but what the
35:14
first Prime Minister Johnny McDonald did for this country I believe that is a
35:20
great history so it seems that what's unique to Canada
35:25
in a way is Trudeau himself as a leader compared to other Western Nations because you could look at the covert
35:30
lockdowns or wokism or whatever and they they apply to lots of Western countries to most Western countries and but what
35:36
I'm interested in I suppose is what is it about Canada itself that Canada has gone so far to the left and maybe you
35:43
disagree that Canada is an outlier compared to other Western Nations you can explain no I think we've we've gone
35:48
further down the walk road than you know any other place except perhaps for California
35:53
and I think part of the reason for that is that we were an early adopter of the doctrines of group rights the
35:59
francophones had rights the indigenous people as as a group had rights the anglophones had rights there were three
36:05
founding peoples and group and individual rights had to be balanced and I don't think there is any such thing as
36:12
group rights because there's no such thing as group responsibility so that's a it's a non-starter conceptually and so
36:19
in some ways the table was set in Canada for the rise of a more Universal
36:24
doctrine of group identity and group rights and plus Canadians Pride themselves on you know
36:31
being nice let's say and you know and not being offensive and just hoping that everyone will get along and you know
36:40
there's nothing glorious about incivility but
36:46
there's very little to distinguish excessive niceness from weakness and the problem with being nice and this is a
36:51
technical problem because niceness is associated with trait agreeableness is that agreeable people are cannon fodder
36:57
for psychopaths so I don't believe that any of the conundrum that we're in
37:04
at the moment in the west is strictly political I think what's happened is
37:09
that the the predatory Psychopaths have figured out how to cloak themselves in
37:14
the guise of compassion [Music]
37:20
during my travels I found ordinary Canadians appalled at their countries surrender to drug dealers it's contempt
37:27
for freedom of speech it's enforcement of gender ideology on children and a
37:32
breezy willingness to terminate the lives of its own citizens however for
37:37
all of the depressing stories of people losing their jobs or being hounded by the government
37:43
these cases were equally inspirational whilst Canada is a warning to the West
37:49
there are also messages of Hope from those Brave individuals fighting for
37:55Freedom .

Under Justin Trudeau, Canada has sought to position itself as the global bastion of progressive politics. In my latest Telegraph documentary, seen above, I went to the former British colony to find out how Canadians are dealing with Trudeau’s radical reforms; from the promotion of gender ideology in schools and the mass legalisation of drugs, to his extreme new suicide laws and clamp downs on freedom of speech.
I began my investigation in one of the country’s most liberal cities, Vancouver. Possession of up to 2.5 grams of hard drugs, including heroin, cocaine and fentanyl, has been legalised in the city as part of a three year experiment which began in January of this year. If the aim was to combat the opioid crisis that already beset the city then it appears there is still much to be done as vast tent sites line the streets, patrolled by roaming zombie-like drug addicts.
As we filmed on Hastings Street, infamous as the epicentre of Vancouver’s homelessness crisis, I witnessed a topless man shoot a needle into his arm five feet from me. Though it wasn’t quite as bad as San Francisco, where my cameraman and I came under attack from angry vagrants, the scenes were still shocking.
It’s not just the homeless who patrol the streets of Vancouver. Chris Elston, better known online as Billboard Chris, campaigns against the imposition of gender ideology on children, whether through Canada’s education system or via dangerous operations to “transition” young adults. As his nickname suggests, Chris walks around Vancouver wearing signs protesting gender ideology, encouraging lively debates with passers-by which he puts on YouTube.
Chris kindly allowed our crew to join him on a walkabout, where we found many Canadians horrified by the use of puberty blockers in children and the promotion of biological men in women’s sports.
We did encounter some opposition of course, mostly through the odd shout or flicking of the finger. So much for Canadian politeness.
One aggressive gentleman, tall, ageing and angry, began a tirade against Chris with the rather bizarre singular message that he is “queer”.
Part of Canada’s social revolution can also be witnessed in its extreme new euthanasia laws. In 2016, the ruling Liberal Party passed legislation enabling assisted suicide for terminally ill Canadians. Next year the legislation will be expanded to include those with mental health problems. As Christianity declines across Canada, and the liberal obsession with “bodily autonomy” and “personal freedom” reaches its logical conclusion, a new dystopia is forming. As Dr Konia Trouton, a euthanasia advocate, told me, “we are an organised society but within that organisation we have to allow some freedoms and opportunities, this is not a communist system where we can try and reign that in”. The campaign group Euthanasia Prevention Coalition estimates that 13,500 people chose state-assisted suicide last year.
To prevent wokeism from spreading it is important to have a strong opposition party. Canada’s Conservatives have been historically weak in pushing back against Trudeau, however, their recently elected leader, Pierre Poilievre, has injected fresh energy into the party. Whilst there are some who still question Poillievre’s conservative credentials, his strategy seems to be working; one recent poll gave his party a twelve point lead over Trudeau’s Liberals.
However, the most successful opponents to Canada’s social revolution have so far not been politicians but members of the public. Our film highlights some of these brave individuals, including Dr Jordan Peterson, perhaps the most high-profile Canadian in the world other than the country’s leader.
During my travels I found ordinary people appalled at Canada’s surrender to drug dealers, its contempt for freedom of speech, its enforcement of gender ideology on children and a breezy willingness to terminate the lives of its own citizens. However, for all the depressing stories of people losing their jobs, or being hounded by the government, these cases were equally inspirational. Whilst Canada is a warning to the West, there are also individual messages of hope from those brave individuals fighting for their freedom.
