Residential Schools

[agstar77]

Time for a reckoning . The Catholic church is one of the main architects. They have not apologized or made full compensation. Time every church property in Canada should be sold off and used to heal the wounds. Anyone who goes to these churchs should demand a reckoning.

There needs to be a non Ag related page for the SJW subjects .
BTW I agree with you , but why is this stuff being brought up constantly on a commodity marketing page other than to label others all the time ??

How’s the soybeans looking ? Ours coming good but need to hurry up .

[agstar77]

Soybeans are second trifoliate
Need rain soon. Look better than canola.

Residential school survived 30 yrs longer than they would have thanks to two men. Can you name them?

I can help. PET and JC. Ring a bell? Churches were forced to administer that terrible govt policy.

we should have taken some of Trudeaus wasted $500B and made some land claim settlements and improved conditions on reserves for these people, non?

Trudeau did waste a tremendous amount of money abroad that could of helped all First Nations in our own country, very true . Was sickening how much money he threw away outside of Canada the past 6 years .

Trudeau screwed reserves and first nations because I think he didn't feel he had their vote. Sort of like western Canadian farmers and Canola we lose our one market price nose dives to below 9 a bushel and he does **** all.

Skippy pissed away billions looking for a seat at the UN and he got the shaft from them. All the money he pissed away should have gone to improve reserves all across Canada and he would have got their vote.

But it's skippy a sick individual who cares about no one.

The original architect of division in Canada right here.

Yrs ago there was a department of Indian affairs.
Didn't they check on anything?
When I was in school that car with Indian affairs on it was at our school often..

This time I agree with Agstar.
Not one priest or nun who staffed the schools were raised with a sense of compassion or wrong?
The common denominator at Nuremberg was Nazism not necessarily office or birthplace.

Another question is why were these boarding schools? Why did indian kids have to live at them away from their family? Where did that asinine policy come from? I doubt the church thought it up. Sounds like govt to me.

The govt is also the ones who wouldnt pay to have childrens bodies properly returned to family members.

One might be able to explain some of this because it was the unenlightened 1800s but this policy endured right up in the 1950-90s when someone should have been looking at it closer. And doubled down on by Trudeau Sr.

There was always those that said residential schools were a good thing for First Nations kids. I am starting to wonder if those people are rethinking it now. History in highschool was useless 30 years ago, they thought us nothing about this, they taught about the Roman Empire and hardly even touched on history in the 19 Century. I’m thinking this was taught because they didn’t was us to know recent history and the Sad history in our own country. I wonder if JT will cry his was through a apology from his dad, one big Hater of First Nations people out west.

Politicians in power at the time are as much or more to blame as the church ..... PET

There are no dumb questions but those come awfully close.

They were trying to wipe out the culture. Of course the Church would do it. Christian religions have tried to steal, burn, torture, usurp and do anything necessary to get heretic religions to disappear practically since it’s origin. (Not saying Christianity is the only religion to use this practice.)

You can’t eradicate a culture if you let the kids go home and live in it. You need to remove them from it. You need to take the culture away. You need to make them dependent on the new religion. Think the Jesuit’s who arrived even before there was a country were all nice and friendly and never tried to convert Indigenous people? Can’t blame Trudeaus for them.

Government or church, neither is innocent and neither is worse than the other.

If reconciliation in the form of apologies and payments is wanted then where’s the Pope? He fronts the other half of this.

The priests and Nuns were forced to be cruel by the Government? The churchs had a great deal of power at one time. They were not forced to get rid of the grave markers, which is a criminal offence.
