Residential School Excavation

and the nuns and priests that harmed kids shud pay for their own crimes , not every white person in Canada

In Glenn’s twisted logic he, and his previous generations of NDP’s should be paying reparations to those whom were sterilized because they were deemed to be unfit specimens to further the human race. Douglas was a proponent for eugenics. No one denies the horrors of residential schools but can’t use the whataboutism Glenn.

What’s that got to do with no graves found?

Are you saying if there’s no bodies then nothing happened?

That’s a misguided conclusion to jump too. Especially since there’s still people living who have the experiences to share.

What a silly comment, Chuck.

Some of the same people who are convinced that the unmarked graves don't contain residential school victims are also some of the the same people who think residential schools were good for first nations children and nothing bad happened.

Its part of residential school denialism and the view that we are not responsible for what happened and what continues to happen to first nations.

Imagine being so twisted and demented that someone was hoping to find children's graves, because he could use them to further their deranged agenda, then disappointed that there were none.
Brought to you by the same sick group who were cheering for people to die from covid.

Imagine being so twisted and demented you think nothing bad happened in residential schools and nobody died and was buried in an umarked grave!

Some residential school deniers like disgraced former senator Lynn Beyak were so twisted and demented that they even thought residential schools were good for first nations children. Imagine that.

She resigned in disgrace before they all voted to kick her out of the senate after she was kicked out of the Conservative caucus.

So in simple terms, no Auschwitz style genocide has been discovered.

And the PM came and prayed for some tree roots and rocks for his photo op.

There wont be too many more ground radar scans happening anytime soon I bet. Definitely no excavations will be risked. Narrative threatened.

By your logic CC used with drag queens of a crime being OK if another criminal does something worse
,compare this to canada , in one location in Ireland the nuns dumped the dead kids bodies in a disused septic tank , at least in canada they were burried
Terrible Terrible things have happened and any of the wicked evil people that were involved and still alive shud pay for their crimes

Actually, the really surprising outcome would be if no children's graves were found.
Residential schools go back to an era where 1/3 of all children died before the age of 5. I didn't find the stats for older age groups, but it was also depressing.

A tour of any local graveyards is a somber experience when you realize how many were young children back in the pioneer era.

Why anyone would expect residential schools to be any different is a mystery.

I don't understand the agenda here. Is the implication that an unmarked grave is proof of a murder?

And if unmarked graves are found, how does this revelation improve the lives of first nations on a reserve today? Will this information reverse their FASD? Bring a second parent into their lives? Eliminate the corruption in the band council? Cure the addictions? Destroy the vicious circle of the victimhood mentality? Solve the crime epidemic?

Good discussion points from a darker time. The discussion for CC of course falls victim to his extreme black and white logic process.

Yes but your Segway to derail this thread as well as many others is tiresome.
