Documentary exposes shady 'reconciliation industry,' BC NDP moves to ban MLAs from using funds to make film like it again

OneBC Party’s new documentary Making a Killing: Reconciliation, Genocide, and the Plunder of Canada challenges mass-grave narratives and exposes a lucrative taxpayer-funded industry — prompting the B.C. government to explore rules that would stop MLAs from ever funding similar films again.

In Victoria on December 1, a new documentary was screened inside the B.C. legislature that the governing NDP clearly doesn’t want British Columbians to see.

The film, produced by the OneBC Party and titled Making a Killing: Reconciliation, Genocide and the Plunder of Canada is a fact-driven examination of residential schools and modern reconciliation policy that is so politically inconvenient, the NDP has openly discussed changing the rules on how political parties are allowed to use their funds so films like this can’t be made again.

In other words, unpopular truths about residential schools and “Truth and Reconciliation” are off-limits for MLAs when not its politically correct.

Making a Killing is the first documentary of its kind where a political party publicly challenges what many describe as “the greatest hoax in Canadian history.”

It begins by tackling the false claim that launched a national reckoning in 2021: when the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc band government told the world that ground-penetrating radar at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School revealed the remains of 215 children as young as three years old.

That claim was accepted as fact by governments, media, and institutions alike, sparking memorials, funding commitments, and international headlines portraying Canada as a genocidal nation. Yet, four-years later, zero bodies and graves have been discovered.

The film exposes that claim as unproven, echoing what Rebel News revealed in our 2022 documentary, Kamloops: The Buried Truth. But Making a Killing goes further, exposing the uncomfortable truth about who benefits from the narrative.

Millions of dollars were handed out based on the claim, new powers were granted to institutions, and political figures began calling for criminal penalties for anyone who publicly shared facts about residential schools that challenged the “genocide” narrative.

The documentary argues that this isn’t an isolated case, but part of a lucrative reconciliation industry fuelled by guilt, government money, and political silence.

It includes interviews with band members who describe how funding rarely reaches people in need, and academics such as Dr. Frances Widdowson and Dr. Tom Flanagan, who have spent decades studying Indigenous policy in Canada.

I also appeared alongside other voices, like researcher Michelle Stirling, in the film to discuss how unquestioned narratives have shaped public policy, identity politics, and free expression.

The film has been predictably ignored by mainstream media, while the NDP has condemned it as “despicable” without engaging with its evidence.

Rather than debate the information, the Premier David Eby's government is exploring how it can restrict the ability of political parties to produce films like this, raising concerns about censorship and viewpoint discrimination.

Rebel News was on site at the legislature for the screening, interviewing OneBC Party Leader Dallas Brodie and attendees about their reaction to the film and why they believe its message matters.

What’s happening in B.C. isn’t reconciliation — it’s laying the legal groundwork to take away what people have built, bought and paid taxes on. Ever since the province locked itself to UNDRIP through DRIPA, we’ve watched a slow, deliberate shift toward a two-tier system that puts vague “collective” political goals ahead of individual rights and private property. That’s not healing — that’s Marxism dressed up as justice. And if no one pushes back, it will mean ordinary British Columbians can be told where they can live, what they can do with their land, and ultimately who really controls it. Drea is one of the few reporters actually showing this to Canadians — knocking on doors, talking to families, pressing officials, and documenting what the legacy media won’t. If you don’t want B.C. turned into a test lab for ideologically driven land grabs, chip in now to keep her reporting.

    Hard to fathom why this supposed BC burial ground hasn’t just been excavated? Simple! In actual truth, there was no more abuse of native kids over the years than happens to present day children on a daily basis! No one is buried there!! I’ve worked with, and talked to countless FN people who think these lies simply perpetuate the corruption and intended dependency of government on handouts!!!

    BUT, then this entire facade would be groundless! Reconciliation and the billions forked out would become the fraud it actually is; the billions of taxpayer funds our corrupt government hands over to all FNs each year would actually be known for the farce it is!

    This whole “divide and conquer” Marxist Carney plan of creating intense hatred amongst Canadians to weaken a democracy for Beijing’s infiltration and takeover……get the clear picture? Communist cartels are already known to be paying some FN leaders to use their land to establish fentanyl operations – some have already been raided by the RCMP! This kind of “Ottawa leadership” is one small example of President Trump’s targeting with tariffs!!!

    This documentary certainly opened up a can of worms, didn’t it?

    Funny how Eby et al never step up to refute any of the claims they don’t like, only shut them down. Could it be they don’t have a leg to stand on?

    Socialists always restrict speech. The Eby thought police always seek to crush any opposition to their narrative. It’s why we must protect the freedom to challenge the government’s narrative.
