·36 min·3 clips

A CBC reporter claims 6,000 bodies were found, but Frances Widowson demands her source, revealing the journalist's ignorance.

Candice Malcolm opens the episode by providing background on the unmarked graves story, starting with the CBC's 2021 report on 215 children's remains in Kamloops. She notes the media quickly escalated terms to 'mass graves' and highlights Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's involvement. Malcolm mentions True North's skepticism and their article 'six things the media got wrong,' which became highly read. She states no human remains have been found at excavated sites like Pine Creek and Camsell Hospital. Frances Widowson joins to discuss her dismissal from Mount Royal University and the appeal to the Alberta Labour Relations Board. They talk about the book 'Grave Error,' which Widowson contributed to, aiming to counter misinformation. Widowson describes being invited to Quesnel after the mayor's wife distributed the book, leading to a city council meeting where she was booed. She details a Zoom interview with CBC reporter Jordan Tucker, who pressed her on travel expenses and falsely claimed 6,000 bodies were found. Widowson calls out Tucker's incompetence, and Malcolm plays clips showing the reporter's errors. The discussion shifts to Widowson's documentary 'What Remains,' which examines the impact of the Kamloops claim on Powell River, including demands to change the town's name. Widowson explains how the claim influenced the passage of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The episode concludes with a call to support Widowson's work and watch the documentary.
