The Background of Widdowson and the JCCF’s Suit against the University of Victoria

The university claims its property is private, which exempts it from following the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and allowing free speech and peaceful protests on its property.

However, Widdowson and the JCCF claim the university’s property is public because it receives government funds to operate, so the university must follow the Canadian Charter and allow free speech and peaceful protests on its property.

Widdowson’s Account of the Prejudice from Canadian Universities and Police Services

“Typically, the police separate the opposing groups in protests, so free speech may occur from all sides without violence,” Widdowson said.

“However, since I started in 2020 to attend universities across Canada to inform the public about the falsehoods of resident schools, the police allow the rioters to assault me and my supporters then arrest us, not the rioters, when the rioters become more violent.

“So the police always accommodate the rioters, not the peaceful speakers like myself and my supporters, because the universities invite counter-protesters from both inside and outside Canada to confront us then trespass us, never the rioters they invited.

“ . . . Since the universities always cancel our bookings or hand out reprisals to any professors inviting us to speak, we just host our events in the areas of these universities where the public has unrestricted access.”

Dallas Brodie’s Involvement with the 215 Unproven Bodies

The topic of the 215 unproven bodies resurged in the media after criminal lawyer, James Heller, filed suit against the Law Society of British Columbia for publicly naming Heller a racist when he confronted the law society for its courses asserting as fact the 215 child graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.

The topic gained even more publicity when John Rustad, the former leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, ousted Dallas Brodie – a Vancouver-Quilchena MLA, criminal lawyer and now OneBC Party leader – from his conservative caucus after Brodie publicly supported Heller’s defamation suit against the law society.

Brodie said, “All law society courses and material need to be based on facts, not rumours and popular opinions. So yes, I decided to speak out about the misinformation and support James Heller, a criminal lawyer who defended numerous indigenous defendants throughout his career.”

James Heller’s Dispute with the Law Society

Heller perused a law society manual titled “Indigenous Intercultural Course.” The manual discusses the history and legacy of indigenous legislation and residential schools, and the law society requires all British Columbia lawyers to study it to retain their law license.

He formally requested the law society to change the factual errors in its manual regarding the Kamloops Indian Band discovering 215 child graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.

Heller also included in his requested amendment an appellate ruling on the matter from British Columbia Chief Justice Leonard Marchand, also indigenous.

The Chief Justice’s Appellate Ruling on the 215 Unproven Bodies

In July 2024, Chief Justice Marchand ruled in Miranda Dick’s appeal, No bodies were found at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. The burials and deaths are still unconfirmed, so British Columbia Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick presented no prejudice or factual errors about the residential-school burials or the accused, Miranda Dick, before sentencing Dick to 28 days in jail for violating an injunction, a court order, to not obstruct the construction of the trans-canada pipeline or endanger the safety of its pipeline’s workers.

The University of British Columbia’s Protesters Later Riot

Later on January 22, the protesters swarmed Widdowson to over-run and trample her before Stuart Parker – a writer, activist, former British Columbia Green Party leader and now Widdowson and OneBC supporter – shouted at them, “Are you really here to beat up an old woman!”

The protesters cheered at their rioting and shouted back, “No space for hate! OneBC, get the f--- off our campus!”

Parker then smirked and shouted back at the protesters, "Your campus! I thought, It was unceded indigenous land?”

The mob near Parker then aimed their air-horns at him and blasted them in his ears.

A known communist activist, Matthew Kneller later assaulted Jim McMurtry, a OneBC candidate and former highschool math teacher, and Dallas Brodie as McMurtry, Brodie and their supporters fled to the university’s aquatic centre to escape the rioters. The rioters then yelled, “OneBC, get the f--- off our campus! Where you running!”

Another communist activist, Jay Tang then rushed in and assaulted Andrew Brougham before Tang cowered behind the females in the riot and shouted, “You assaulted me! Got it all on camera! F--- you, you’re not welcome here! Your views are unacceptable. Come on and fight! Get the f--- off of my campus!”

The University of British Columbia’s Distorted Account of Widdowson, Brodie and the Riot

Stephen Kosar, an editor for the University of British Columbia’s newspaper the Ubyssey, dons a mock war-correspondent vest as he wanders the riot. Masha Kleiner, a OneBC researcher and writer, approaches Kosar.

“Do you agree that the protest disrupts free speech?”

“As a journalist, I can’t take a position,” Kosar said.

“Can we agree that it is very noisy right now, which makes it hard for us to have this conversation?”

“People might have different perspectives on this,” Kosar smirked.

“It's so noisy that it's hard for you to hear what I am saying, isn't it?”

“It can be,” Kosar said.

“And what’s the reason for the noise?”

“Unfortunately, we, as journalists, cannot take sides,” Kosar said.

However, a day prior to the riot, Kosar published a misleading article about Frances Widdowson, Dallas Brodie and their supporters, so Stephen Kosar operated here as a shill for the flawed social movement, not an impartial journalist.

Stephen Kosar’s article before the riot "Shows of Solidarity Planned as Residential School Deniers Seek to Hold Event on Campus"

Kosar also published a day after the riot another misleading article about the group and sympathized with the university’s protesters and rioters.

Kosar’s article after the riot "Amid Chaos and Violence, Hundreds at UBC Show Solidarity with Residential School Survivors"

Brodie Outmanoeuvres the Rioters in Debate

The rioters now cornered Brodie and argued with her, and she genuinely engaged with them.
However, after the mob mocked Brodie, urged her to abandon her security to assault her then asserted fallacies to defeat her arguments – Brodie, being a skilled litigator, outmanoeuvred with ease the fallacies of those rioters.

As a result, the mob grew frustrated with Brodie and shouted, “F--- you, your views are unacceptable! We don’t debate hateful views! Not here to Charlie Kirk with you! You’re not welcome here! OneBC, the f--- off our campus! Why you here with security?”

The RCMP Assert Its Decision to Not Arrest Any Rioters

Hal Hewett, a heavy-duty mechanic and welder, meet with the RCMP after the riot to inquire why the police overlooked the violence from the university’s rioters.

“Can you tell us why the RCMP allowed the rioters to damage our personal belongings, accost and assault us and failed to uphold the laws of our criminal code,” Hewett asked.

“The university is private property,” RCMP staff sergeant Matthew Wrobel said. “so it can allow one-side to protest and not the other, so whatever happened to you guys happened, and you’re free to file an RCMP complaint.”

“You not concerned your members allowed such lawless to occur from the rioters, regardless of the violence occurring on private property.”

“We managed the situation as best we could,” Wrobel said.

The Conclusion to the University of British Columbia Riot

Benoit-Antoine Bacon, the university’s president, approached Widdowson and asked her to leave the property.

When Widdowson refused, the RCMP carried Widdowson off the property as the rioters cheered at her departure. The police then placed her in the back of a police vehicle without handcuffs.

Inside the vehicle, Widdowson grinned at the rioters before the vehicle pulled away.

Later, the rioters swarmed Dallas Brodie, Andrew Brougham, Stuart Parker and their supporters to accost and assault them as the police escorted them on transit buses, and the buses pulled off.

Widdowson’s Workplace Harassment and Termination Happened This Way

From June to July 2020, Widdowson advocated for former CBC broadcaster Wendy Mesley after the CBC disciplined Mesley for referencing a book title “White Niggers of America” in CBC staff meetings.

“I spoke out for Mesley because she didn’t use the title to insult someone or discriminate against a group,” Widdowson said. “She just said it to reference the book to CBC editors in staff meetings.”


Later, Widdowson publicly opposed educators presenting indigenous science as objective science since indigenous science draws its conclusions from native-elder anecdotes and spiritual legends.

“Science must always be based on facts, not untested stories or beliefs,” Widdowson said. “So indigenous science isn’t, at all, science.”


In July 2020, the political-scientist professor caught the attention of her colleague Gabrielle Weasel Head, an indigenous studies professor at the same university.

Weasel Head, in response to Widdowson’s dissenting views, defamed Widdowson online by naming Widdowson a racist and a danger to university faculty and students. She also urged university students and faculty to file complaints against Widdowson and harass her online.


After Gabrielle Weasel Head complained to the university about Widdowson satirizing her defamatory social-media posts about Widdowson, the university then developed its nonexistent social-media policies to target Widdowson and restrict what Widdowson and other faculty members post online.


“It’s crazy how a woke professor can target another professor for dissenting views that aren’t hateful or discriminatory,” Widdowson said. “and the university does nothing. But when the victim satirizes or criticizes that woke professor’s conduct, the victim is the one being investigated, not the attacker.

“Such contradictory standards!

“Plus, harassment and safety complaints shouldn’t be used as a tool to silence factual and dissenting views, especially in an academic environment where professors are supposed to pursue the truth.”


In December 2020, Weasel Head resigned from the university because she felt Widdowson endangered her safety.

After Gabrielle Weasel Head resigned, the university fired Widdowson in December 2021 then rehired Weasel Head two-months after Widdowson’s termination.

“Mount Royal University brands itself as a first-nation friendly university for indigenous students, so it needs Weasel Head as a faculty member to be its spokesperson for that brand, and having me on staff is detrimental to that brand,” Widdowson said.


After her termination, Widdowson filed ten grievances with an Alberta arbitrator against the university.

The arbitrator, David Phillip Jones, ruled in July 2024 the university wrongfully terminated Widdowson and awarded Widdowson $300 thousand in damages. Jones also ruled to allow the university to not reinstate Widdowson in her former position because Widdowson’s presence creates an acrimonious workplace.

So Widdowson filed an appeal with the Alberta Labour Relations Board in July 2024 for the university to reinstate her in her former position and increase the financial damages awarded.

Chris Hedges on the Left and Victor Hanson on the Right Assert this about North America’s Free-trade Agreements

Canada and America’s free-trade deals fuel deindustrialization and unemployment for the working class, and the skyrocketing unemployment fuels drug use, domestic violence, mass shootings, suicides and crime.

“Free-trade recreated oligarchy capitalism,” Hedges said. “. . . And the unchecked greed of these elites created phenomena like the opioid crisis, suicides, political extremists both on the left and right, mass shootings and crime in deindustrialized areas.”

Liberal and conservative leaders in Canada and the U.S. presented free-trade, globalism, as a means to better jobs, products, services, innovations and environmental standards.

Yet the opposite occurred!

“NAFTA mainly was mainly created to boost profit margins for the elites and the coastal cosmopolitans through the use of worker exploitation, cheap materials, low-quality manufacturing and non-existent employment and environmental standards in Mexico and China,” Hanson said.

“. . . Microplastics are found in almost everything throughout the world: our water, soil, animals and bodies.

“It’s proven globalism, with its shipping lanes and waste dumping, caused this. However, the elites and cosmopolitans still declare free-trade environmentally more safe, so the left will say anything to oppose Trump, even if it undermines its own desires and objectives.

“Plus, globalism always pushed to erode working-class prosperity, national sovereignty and cultural identity, especially in America.”


Hedges said, “Ronald Reagan, Brian Mulroney, Bill Clinton and Jean Chretien pushed for NAFTA.
“. . . So the Democrats abandoned the working class when it supported the Republicans in these trade deals. . . .
“ . . . And our gravest mistake happened when we failed to build a counterweight to the Democratic Party after NAFTA.”

Chris Hedges Opposes President Trump’s Tariffs as Victor Hanson Advocates for Them.

Hedges wants mass social movements and protests and union influence to dismantle the oligarchy behind North America’s free-trade deals.

“Persistent-mass protests, social movements and civil disobedience backed by unions produced the change throughout history – not obedience, politicians or the elites.” Hedges said.


However, Hanson describes President Trump’s tariffs as the means to smash the oligarchy behind free-trade and thwart China, Mexico and India from their engagement in mercantilism, a country exporting more than it imports through,

• tariffing imports
• subsidizing exports
• manipulating the value of its currency
• shirking labour and environmental standards
• flooding global markets with cheap goods
• stealing intellectual property and technology
• and using any other means to force one-sided trade

“China always engaged in mercantilism against the U.S.,” Hanson said. “by subsidizing Chinese exports, tariffing U.S. exports, stealing U.S. intellectual property and technology, flooding our markets with inferior-and-cheap products and manipulating the value of its currency.

“NAFTA creates, with just Mexico alone, a $170 billion each year in job losses and trade deficits because the trade deal allows Mexico to engage in sweatshop-labour and ignore employment and environmental standards with no sanctions.

“So Trump’s tariffs just match the tariffs on U.S. goods from other countries to force fairer deals, end worker exploitation and protect American workers.

“Trump’s tariffs also challenge traditional conservative free-market orthodoxy. Something overdue and needed!”

Canadian Liberal and Conservative Leaders Vie to Preserve the Status Quo for Canada’s Free Trade

President Trump's tariffs hand Canada an opportunity to exit its free-trade deals and rebuild its gutted economy through its own efforts and self-determination.

However, Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney and Canadian Leader of the Opposition, Pierre Poilievre vie to preserve all Canada’s free-trade deals and replace America in USMCA with Mexico, China and the European Union, so Canada’s liberal and conservative leaders lack the will to transform Canada’s economy into an independent and productive one.





Since we last spoke in 2020, Idris Reza and Roovert Katz received their American green cards, and Reza a designer and engineer job offer from an automotive EV supplier and Katz a scholarship to a Tennessee medical school.

The two already applied for a bank loan to relocate together to the U.S. with Reza’s wife and kids.

“There’s really no opportunity in Canada for capable people,” Katz said. “unless you got all the right connections and timing. Once we leave this place, we’re gone for good!”

“Unless we come back to visit you,” Reza cracked a smile and said.

James Heller’s Dispute with the Law Society Started This Way

Heller perused a law society manual titled “Indigenous Intercultural Course.” The manual discusses the history and legacy of indigenous legislation and residential schools, and the law society requires all British Columbia lawyers to study it to retain their law license.

He formally requested the law society to change the factual errors in its manual regarding the Kamloops Indian Band discovering 215 child graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.

Heller also included in his requested amendment an appellate ruling on the matter from British Columbia Chief Justice Leonard Marchand, also indigenous.

In July 2024, Chief Justice Marchand ruled in Miranda Dick’s appeal, No bodies were found at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. The burials and deaths are still unconfirmed, so British Columbia Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick presented no prejudice or factual errors about the residential-school burials or the accused, Miranda Dick, before sentencing Dick to 28 days in jail for violating an injunction, a court order, to not obstruct the construction of the trans-canada pipeline or endanger the safety of its pipeline workers.

> Levi Landry's coverage on Chief Justice Marchand’s ruling and Miranda Dick’s appeal


In its public response to James Heller’s request, the law society claimed Heller’s request to be misinformed and named him a racist, so Heller filed suit for defamation in August 2025 against the law society.

Past Facts about the Kamloops Residential Indian School

". . . Heinous crimes of child abuse and genocide must be based on evidence, not hearsay . . . ," said Michelle Stirling, a Canadian researcher and writer on the confederation and formation of Canada.

"GPR, ground penetrating radar, also isn't capable of identifying bodies in the ground, just anomalies, and Canadians are still unaware that the Kamloops Indian Residential School were largely run by indigenous people from the Kamloops Indian Band, not white people.

". . . Although the band received $12 million in government funds to dig up the site and collect any human remains, the first nation still doesn't want to excavate the supposed burial site because it designated the site sacred ground, so the site can't be disturbed. . . .

" . . . Regardless, the Kamloops first nation owes us the remains of the bodies after it accused my ancestors of genocide and took $12 million in government money to excavate the site."


Canadian political scientist and writer about Canadian indigenous governance, Frances Widdowson said, "It turns out the excavated tooth at the Kamloops residential school from the early 2000s wasn't even human and the rib bone too poorly tested and documented to conclude if its human and or if it came from the Kamloops school.

"It’s also unusual no parents from the Kamloops band complained or filed any reports of their children going missing. All parents, regardless of race, panic and complain when their kids go missing.”

Residential-school Provisions in First-nation Treaties

Nigel Biggar, a University of Oxford theology professor and historian, explained, The Canadian government created residential schools for indigenous tribes not to extinguish their culture and language but to grant the tribes educational provisions. Provisions the tribes included themselves in their treaties, their agreements with the Crown.

"The natives lobbied for residential schools," Biggar said. ". . . When the bison population collapsed, the Natives and the Crown made treaties with another, and the tribes persuaded the Crown to provide provisions in education, land, protection, agriculture, weapons, medical care and hunting. Provisions the Natives still receive from the Crown to this day.”

A Famous Indigenous Writer’s Take on Canadian Residential Schools

Huffington Post reporter, Joshua Ostroff asked in 2015 Tomson Highway, a Canadian playwright, author and composer, about the abuse he experienced at Guy Hill Residential School in Manitoba and his difficulties in life after his departure from the school.

“That was a mistake,” Highway responded. “My residential school experience was fantastic. So much of that is skewed. You don't have the whole picture.”

American Lobbies and First-Nation Governments and Organizations

Three American foundations fund many first-nation governments, organizations and unions to lobby the Canadian government and the United Nations about first-nation natural resources, land claims and residential schools.

Dallas Brodie, now the leader of the OneBC party, said, “Foundations like the Tides, Ford and Rockefeller foundations finance numerous indigenous lobbies in Canada also UN declarations like UNDRIP -- United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."

The Future of Residential-school Death and Abuse Claims

NDP Winnipeg Centre MP, Leah Gazan moved in October 2025 to legislate questioning any residential-school abuse or death claim a criminal offence and all residential-school claims to be classified as genocides.

"We know children died there. We know children were abused there," said Wade Grant, a Musqueam first-nation member. "So why do we need to dig graves to prove this."

Currently, the Kamloops Indian Band fenced off the disputed burial site and appointed security to bar any access to it.

The speech compares the lives of the ambitious opportunists to the ambitious fighters.

“The ambitious opportunists revere greed, the want of everything for nothing,” Kushner says. “and the ambitious fighters achievement, the desire to overcome difficulty and create opportunity.”

The speech also explores how society even values the ambitious opportunists over the ambitious fighters.

“Society prizes the ones seeking to avoid the difficulties and steal opportunities from others to seize their wants.” Kushner says.

“It reveres them as strong, resourceful and powerful, though these types worked at overcoming nothing to seize their ambitions.”

The speech “The Fighters And The Others” reads, . . .

Reward belongs to the fighters!

Not the ones, who reward their own failure and, at best, their own mediocrity!

For the fighters seek to defeat the difficulties, though they often taste defeat and at times death, as the others seek ease and rewards for their ease.

The fighters favour the life of strain and triumph and the others the one of ease and escape.

Through difficulty, the fighting edge of the fighters sharpens and of the others flattens.

The reasons why the fighters' lives of difficulty taste that full flavour that their opponents' lives of ease will never taste!

"The attacks from FNNND employees often start as racial slurs like interloper, nigger, kike and southern squaw then progress to the employees sabotaging our work and directing FNNND citizens to accost and assault us for being outsiders,” a former First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun employee said.

"It’s also clear this First Nation still struggles not because of residential schools and past discrimination but because of the blatant theft of funds and criminal activity from its administrators, so FNNND’s incompetence isn't circumstantial but intentional because of its criminal activity and corruption, similar to many third-world countries.”

A former RCMP commander and First Nation of Nacho Nyak justice and governance director, Robert Gillan said, “The Yukon First Nations are so damaged from residential schools that they can’t be held accountable for their corruption, racism and criminal activity.”

“I agree,” the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun executive director, McGarry Selbee said. “Employees coming to the First Nation as outsiders need to grow a thicker skin and tolerate some deserved prejudice for past wrongs done to this First Nation by our colonist ancestors.”


The Yukon statement of claim lists 10 First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun employees as defendants:

- Teresa Samson, a First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun heritage manager
- Adrienne Hill, a First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun finance director
- Eileen Peter, a Yukon Soaps Company and First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun social-media assistant

- Karen Clark-Marlow, a First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun human-resource director
- Robert Gillan, a former First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun justice-governance director
- Geri-Lee Buyck, a First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun councillor

- McGarry Selbee, a First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun executive director
- Ronalda Moses, a First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun human-resource technician
- Peter Idoko, a former First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun information-technology manager
- Joella Hogan, the owner of the Yukon Soaps Company and a First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun contractor

“When someone’s not hearing voices, doesn’t have racing thoughts and isn’t awake for days – a more logical explanation for these behaviors is ADD,” Dr. Shuang Xu says, a psychiatrist at Homewood Health Centre. “especially if these individuals struggled with impulsive behaviors since childhood.”

According to information from the Canadian Mental Health Association, impulsive behaviours begin in childhood for ADD patients and adulthood for schizophrenic and bipolar disorder ones.

Dr. Xu explained, ADD is often difficult to diagnose in adults because most patients aren’t forthcoming about their struggle with impulsive behaviors during childhood.

“This is frequently why many adults with ADD are misdiagnosed as being bipolar or schizophrenic,” Dr. Xu says.

“Uncontrolled anger, mood shifts and other impulsive behaviors are also key traits in biopolar disorder and schizophrenia, not just ADD.”

Johnston currently copes with his disorder by attending dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) programs at Homewood Health Centre.

He also takes Concerta, a stimulant used for treating ADD.

“An uncle of mine told me. I’ll live a hard life,” Johnston says. “if I continue destroying the things I’ve worked very hard to get when overwhelmed.”



THERAPY OPTIONS Two therapy options for ADD individuals wanting to better manage stressful life events

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
