From his Swiss-lived upbringing to his outspoken stance on Kamloops residential schools, Jim McMurtry is no ordinary educator. Once a respected teacher, Jim claims he was fired for resisting what he calls the “woke” rewriting of Canadian history, a stand that’s thrust him into the crosshairs of cultural battles nationwide. In this episode of The Lavigne Show, we’ll dive into how Jim’s skepticism about the Kamloops graves story and his broader critiques of “woke narratives” have made him a pariah in certain circles and a freedom-of-speech hero in others.
