CANADA WAS TOLD 60 YEARS AGO!

WHY DIDN’T THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?. Sep. 28, 2025. 

My brother was a third year student at the University of New Brunswick. He was working and travelling around western Canada.

He told me that the 13 and 14 year old indigenous children were being kidnapped and taken into cities to serve the pedophiles and no one was doing anything about it. They were brought in from the prairies and interior of British Columbia. This has not changed. A few years ago young indigenous female law graduates and lawyers were called “street walkers” by the non-native lawyers. They were not allowed to go into the lawyers’ lounges or libraries and archives.  Their law professors became outraged about what was happening to these indigenous professionals.  It was tragic because these indigenous girls had no one to turn to in Vancouver, other than a social worker. Some of these young girls ended up in hospitals from attempted suicides and overdoses. 

Back in the 1960s, someone exposed the City of Vancouver of providing young indigenous girls to politicians, police, and business people, likely drug dealers. It was hidden so nobody would know. They were protecting the names and reputations of prominent people from scandal.

In 1963 I was invited to address a big conference attended by the Mayor and Police Chief of Vancouver about indigenous issues. I ended my comments by relating what my brother had seen happening to our children, and that it was related to serving the needs of pedophilic politicians, and how the drug problem was being created deliberately among our children.

At the end of my speech in Vancouver I said, “Yesterday I checked out my brother’s observations. I went to your bus station in the evening and saw police men, other people and big guys hanging around. They were waiting for our children to arrive from the interior of British Columbia. I followed two young girls into the washroom and talked to them. They did not know anybody, nobody was protecting them and they said they were told when going to Vancouver that somebody was meeting them to take care of them. They were then taken to Hastings street to work on the streets.

A native social worker told my brother that he knew some of the children that he saw on Hastings who were being treated like they were not human. When the pedophiles were done with them, they are murdered. He was called in to identify them. I am asking you, Mister Mayor of Vancouver, if you have appointed this police chief to protect these children, and when he does not, why haven’t you fired him? Why didn’t the customers of these child victims not get charged for having sex with minors? 

“Today our people’s presence is not wanted nearby as it brings down the housing market. Vancouver is a very wealthy city. They have to get rid of these”eye sores” on their streets. Somewhere along the way an investigation was done by an honest newspaper man, Sam Cooper, who exposed the drug center as being created in Vancouver making it the hub for distribution of drugs all over North America. The book is called “Willful Blindness”. 

I continued to say, “The Mayor and Police chief were afraid that their high society acquaintances could be outed. The story got out to the public. They tried to “de-horn” me, to say the least. My family in Kahnawake was informed at a well attended meeting called by the band council. I was publicly humiliated for doing what was right by exposing the pedophile rings in Western Canada. They called me a “trouble maker’ and that I made my people look bad for exposing this when they were trying to hide it all. They even said that I was running a whore house said to be controlled by gangsters. What a lie!  I answered, “How could I be doing that when I wasn’t a Catholic!”  

I tried to raise what was happening to us. For this I took the heat and abuse for it. The destruction of my reputation stopped me from having jobs, and I have remained out of the public, and worked hard for the Department of Indian Affairs for a while. I’m still feeling the heat from what I did almost 60 years ago. Since then I became more determined to stop this outrage. Following this was the White Paper legislation to try to enhance their goal of redrawing our image as subhuman making it easy to get us out of the way so they could continue their theft of our land and resources. 

They continue to try to tarnish our name when they treat us as though we are not worth anything. Indigenous are fighting back. They tried to turn our people against me for telling the truth. What I said was all true. 

The abuse and murders continued for 40 years as evidenced by the capture of serial killer Robert Picton. He confessed to the RCMP to over 80 deaths of innocent young males and females at his pig farm 27 miles east of Vancouver in the 1990s. Instead the police, Canadian authorities and the establishment set out to continue to destroy me for exposing these horrendous crimes. 

A young woman approached me recently after I spoke to a group in a park in tiotiakeh [Montreal]. She told me she was from a foreign country where her people were being mistreated. She wanted me to help her bring her family here to live on our land, and be taken care of by us, but Canada was giving them problems. I said, “You are on indigenous land. Can you tell me what obligation we have to take care of you and your family?” She did not answer. 

Then I asked, “Would you stand beside me and point your finger at the guilty party, the  Government Canada that includes federal, provincial and municipal governments for their attempt to exterminate us? No answer. We want the police to get to work to do their job of exposing this black mark upon Canada that I exposed almost 60 years ago. No answer. 

We took in people from all over the world and protected them. Look at what they’ve done to us. Stealing our kids and destroying our young people. It will never happen again.  

My negative experience with the media started around this time. I felt totally helpless and I realized that anything I said to the media could and would be used against me like I was being arrested.  

Alvin Lee and “Ten years after-I’d love to change the world”, probably experienced the same with the media as I did and, Iike them, would like to change the world but I don’t know what to do. So I leave it up to you…
