So I found a couple of samples in a documentary about the history of the Niagara Falls. As far as I know, these should be the first confirmed samples from a film produced by the NFB used by BOC, so that's pretty cool. A sales agent from the NFB was kind enough to temporarily share the movie with me, so hopefully it's not a problem to share the interesting scenes with you, here it is:

After Zosocon's discovery of the main Niagara sample, I decided to try and find the speeches once again. This time I went to the NFB site to see if there was any doc on the topic, and I found this one which immediately rang a bell, because the description matched perfectly. I contacted NFB for the movie and indeed this was the source.

Something tells me it's hiding in a sesame street vignette, but there's no way I'm watching that episode once again hahah

Forgot to mention, you can rent or buy the movie here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/falls. It's very interesting and I bet you can find another sample or two, there are some big similarities to songs like telepath and white cyclosa, as well as their early stuff.

Wow. The biggest thing about the Energy Warning sample is that the actual synth melody from the documentary forms the basis for the early part of the song with some BoC over top of it, it's not just voices and effects that are sampled. That's really cool.
