(LifeSiteNews) — A well-known Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist came to the aid of a canceled Canadian professor who was arrested at a university because of her views against the indigenous “mass grave” hoax, saying he will donate thousands to the institution should it apologize.
W. Brett Wilson, who is based in Calgary, Alberta, and well known for his free speech views, said in a recent X post that he will give the University of Lethbridge a $100,000 donation for an apology to Frances Widdowson, a former professor at Mount Royal University in Calgary who was arrested at the University of Lethbridge cafeteria.
“I hereby offer a donation of $100k to this could-be-great University @uLethbridge after they profoundly apologize to @FrancesWiddows1 and arrange for her to present / engage in a great setting at this once-great University,” wrote Wilson, who is known to assist those he feels have been unfairly affected by woke Canadian rules, universities, or government agendas. “You know how to reach out to me – I have pitched there. Happy to introduce her.”
Widdowson was hit with a $600 fine after her arrest.
Video of the arrest shared online by Drea Humphrey at Rebel News shows the ordeal. Lethbridge police officers can be seen detaining Widdowson, who was sitting at a table. Police handcuffed her and took her out of the building to a waiting police van while bystanders could be seen in the background.
The publicly funded university had issued a “campus alert” message on social media notifying the campus of her presence.
Widdowson has been holding debates regarding unproven claims that there are mass unmarked graves of kids at former indigenous residential schools, which were government mandated but mostly run by the Catholic and Anglican churches.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) had said days before in a statement that it is assisting Widdowson with help from its lawyers in multiple “free expression cases at universities across Canada, where she has been issued trespass notices or removed from campus, and has even been subjected to violence.”
In 2021 and 2022, the mainstream media ran with inflammatory and dubious claims that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran some Canadian residential schools. The reality is, after four years, there have been no mass graves discovered at residential schools.
However, as the claims went unfounded, over 120 churches, most of them Catholic and many of them on indigenous lands that serve the local population, have been burned to the ground, vandalized, or defiled in Canada since the spring of 2021.
Last year, retired Manitoba judge Brian Giesbrecht said Canadians are being “deliberately deceived by their own government” after blasting the former Trudeau government for “actively pursuing” a policy that blames the Catholic Church for the unfounded “deaths and secret burials” of indigenous children.
