WATCH: Dead Wrong: How Canada Got the Residential School Story So Wrong
True North Managing Editor Cosmin Dzsurdzsa joins 'Not "Sorry''' to discuss the new book exposing how politicians and the media whipped up hysteria over the 'unmarked graves' story.
In the latest episode of ‘Not “Sorry”’ on Juno News, host Alexander Brown, Director of the National Citizens Coalition, delves into one of Canada’s most contentious modern social issues: How did the country get its residential school story so profoundly wrong? Brown reflects on the summer of moral panic that swept the nation, transforming what could have been a moment of thoughtful reflection into a frenzy akin to the “fiery but mostly peaceful” unrest seen south of the border.
At the heart of the discussion is Dead Wrong, the sequel to the 2023 bestseller Grave Error, published by True North and Dorchester Books. Authored by C.P. Champion and Tom Flanagan, with a foreword by Candice Malcolm, this #1 bestseller challenges the persistent spread of unsubstantiated claims about “mass graves” at Kamloops and other Indian Residential Schools.
Few who amplified claims and rumours of genocide have owned up to their errors, perpetuating a distorted view of history. The episode spotlights key findings from Dead Wrong, including the New York Times’ refusal to retract its inflammatory headline on “mass graves” at Kamloops; the Quesnel, BC, city council’s effort to oust the mayor after his wife distributed ten copies of Grave Error; the dismissal of high school teacher Jim McMurtry for accurately noting that most residential school deaths were due to tuberculosis; the Oscar-nominated documentary Sugarcane, plagued by inaccuracies about St. Joseph’s Residential School in Williams Lake, BC; and the Law Society of BC’s push to embed the Kamloops narrative in its materials, despite corrections from member Jim Keller.

Joining Brown is True North Managing Editor Cosmin Dzsurdzsa, a contributor to Dead Wrong. Dzsurdzsa unpacks his chapter on the wave of church burnings that erupted during the panic’s peak—acts even labeled “understandable” by Liberal insider Gerald Butts, former right-hand to Trudeau. Brown and Dzsurdzsa dismantle this justification, emphasizing that such vandalism was reprehensible then and remains so now.

I just received Dead Wrong yesterday and haven’t read it yet, have read Grave Error though. This whole scenario fits hand in glove with the Marxists plan to divide the Western World’s nations from within. COVID, gender ideology, climate change, insane government spending, gun control, illegal immigration, radical Islam, corrupt legacy media, silencing of free speech, religious intolerance, racial divide, political lawfare, left leaning indoctrinating education system and yes, sadly the residential school/mass graves controversy are all contributing to push us towards a globalist/socialist/communist Godless society. As an RCMP member I policed the Peigan Indian Reserve, Brocket Alberta in the 1960’s. The government narrative being pushed today does not line up with my experience way back then. This dishonest narrative has left a black mark on the police, the Christian Church, the leftist Canadian government and the nation of Canada.
This crap from Government and Indigenous types as well as the woke/joke virtue signalling Progressives has to be called out.
Provide real proof... REAL PROOF or STFU.
