4 Comments

This is an edited transcript of a speech that Senator Lynn Beyak gave to the Canadian Senate. In response, the Aboriginal Industry started making her a focus of their attacks, which continue to this day…

‘Senator Beyak: For The Record’

Hon. Lynn Beyak:
“Honourable Senators… I want to present a somewhat different side of the residential school story…

“Today, I will take a broad look at several timely ‘indigenous’ issues that are before us. I speak partly for the record, but mostly in memory of the kindly and well-intentioned men and women and their descendants — perhaps some of us here in this chamber — whose remarkable works, good deeds and historical tales in the residential schools go unacknowledged for the most part, and are overshadowed by negative reports. Obviously, the negative issues must be addressed, but it is unfortunate that they are sometimes magnified and considered more newsworthy than the abundance of good… Continue reading ‘Senator Beyak: For The Record’ →

‘Paying for the Truth’

1 Comment

The Aboriginal Industry works hard at silencing opposition, and a courageous Canadian Senator is their latest victim:

“Sen. Lynn Beyak, known for {correctly} defending residential schools as “well-intentioned”, has been kicked out of the ‘Conservative’ caucus after she refused to remove “racist” comments {letters of support from Canadians} posted to her Senate website.

“Beyak had posted roughly 100 letters in support of her earlier defence of residential schools…to her Senate website {Excerpts and link at bottom of post}.

“In a statement, ‘Conservative’ Leader Andrew Scheer said he found out about the letters on Tuesday and asked Beyak to remove some of the comments, but she refused… Continue reading ‘Paying for the Truth’ →

‘Aboriginal Liberals Say ‘NO’ To Freedom of Speech’


“Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP and Liberal ‘Indigenous’ {‘Siberian settler’} Caucus chairman Don Rusnak is calling for the Conservative Party to remove Sen. Lynn Beyak…

“Sen. Beyak refused an invitation to meet with the Liberal Party’s ‘Indigenous’ Caucus, an organization for which Rusnak {who is mixed race – Ukrainian and aboriginal} serves as chairman.

{We call upon the Liberal Party of Canada to abolish its racist and segregationist ‘Indigenous’ {‘Siberian settler’} Caucus, as it is offensive and contrary to the anti-racist and integrative values of the people of Canada. Organizing on the basis of Race is a primitive and divisive tactic that undermines Canadian unity. Furthermore, we call upon the Liberal Party of Canada to expel overt racists — of all races — from its caucus and Party…} Continue reading ‘Aboriginal Liberals Say ‘NO’ To Freedom of Speech’ →

‘Conservatives Censor The Truth’


“Senator Lynn Beyak has been removed from the Senate’s ‘Aboriginal Peoples’ committee, interim ‘Conservative’ Leader Rona Ambrose told ‘CBC News’ in an interview Wednesday. Ambrose said she made the decision jointly with the newly-minted leader of the Conservative caucus in the Senate, Larry Smith.

“I have been very clear that I do not in any way support Senator Beyak’s comments about residential schools. There is no way to explain her comments {If you truly believe that, you have much to learn!},” Ambrose said. “She has been removed from the Aboriginal affairs committee in the Senate and I think that’s the right thing to do. I don’t think her comments send the right message.” …

{YOU are the one who needs replacing…} Continue reading ‘Conservatives Censor The Truth’ →

‘Speaking The Truth’


“The {Chinese aboriginal} chairwoman of the Senate committee on ‘aboriginal people’ is asking a Conservative senator to rethink her place on the committee after she said there were positive aspects to Canada’s residential school system {An obvious truth…}.

“Conservative Lynn Beyak made the comments…in the Upper Chamber, saying that the government-funded, church-operated schools…were not all bad.

“Committee chairwoman Lillian Eva Dyck {“Member of the Gordon ‘First Nation’ {a ‘nation’ of 3,643 people} in Saskatchewan, and a first generation Chinese Canadian”

says Beyak’s comments were seen as being ‘ill-informed’ {? See links at bottom} and insensitive, especially to the ‘survivors’ {‘former students’} of residential schools and their descendants. Continue reading ‘Speaking The Truth’ →
