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.
What to Expect
The Road to Cancellation
Gain a firsthand account of how questioning official narratives about Indigenous graves led to Jim’s alleged dismissal and whether the system indeed tolerates dissenting voices.
The Kamloops Controversy
Hear why Jim believes claims of “soil anomalies” being confirmed graves lack forensic proof and how demanding evidence for widely reported stories can spark professional and social backlash.
Gender Ideology & School Indoctrination
Explore Jim’s critiques of gender education in Canadian classrooms, from the Amy Hamm case to mounting tensions over who decides what children learn.
The Bigger Cultural Battlefield
Understand why Jim sees these controversies as part of a broader drift away from rational debate and historical truth, leading him to champion personal integrity over political correctness.
Why You Should Watch

Empirical vs. Emotional
If you’re uneasy with how quickly specific stories become “untouchable truths,” Jim’s story may resonate or make you think twice.
Join us for a provocative discussion about academic freedom, media hype, and the cost of challenging orthodoxies. Whether you consider Jim a maverick or misguided, his story prompts us to ask: are we losing the ability to debate our history?

Paula & Jay on the @TheLavigneShow are two of my favorite people. I am a supporter because I believe in their honesty, integrity & most of all their dedication to truth & the Alberta Independence Movement. I wrote a song about our quest for freedom, it is called My Alberta Home. You can find a demo of the song on my X page Michael Kosterman @MichaelKosterm2
We are headed into the studio later this spring to record a Radio Version of this song. Thank you Paula & Jay for all that you do. I will be coming to see you soon at one of your events! All my best & God Save Alberta!
