Rebel News LIVE! Calgary 2024: Tom Flanagan

Tom Flanagan discusses allegations of mass graves at former residential school sites and the mainstream media's flawed reporting of this important story.

Tom Flanagan is a former political science professor at the University of Calgary and co-author of Grave Error: How The Media Misled Us (and the Truth about Residential Schools).

A former adviser to prime minister Stephen Harper, Flanagan has been a critic of the mainstream narrative surrounding allegations of mass graves at former residential school sites.

At Rebel News LIVE! Calgary 2024, he spoke about the limitations of ground-penetrating radar for determining what is actually buried and the flaws with historic records relating to missing children at residential schools.

Flanagan also touched on how after voicing skepticism about these claims, he effectively became persona non grata despite being a longtime contributor to legacy media outlets, instead having to turn to independent media to speak out.

    As Tom stated in his presentation, no one wants this resolved, just because the reserves, the media, and the politicians can milk so much money from the misled voters/taxpayers.

    I think the 1st nations claim of abuse and miss treatment is just an excuse as to why they have made so little progress in the past 100 years, I’m sure some were ill treated and suffered from that experience, but it is minor in comparison to what other nations have suffered and fully recovered, for example the nations of Europe under hitler, the jews being persecuted by most nation’s in which they have lived they are now a powerful nation.
    The first nations will never get over this until they claim the problem as their own, and change their perception, their future is in their hands, no one else can change it.
