I don’t think you need to be woke to think the residential schools were not the best way to educate native children, involuntarily. But really it isn’t much different than some little French kids (who at 6 years old) were packed up and sent off to boarding school. Not much different. Just saying! Neither one was what today’s society would embrace.

Boarding school was voluntary!

Residential schools were forced assimilation where you weren't allowed to speak your language or be a first nation kid in a culture you didn't understand.

And then there was the emotional abuse that started with ripping the kids from their families, along with the physical and sexual abuse.

That's why Steven Harper apologized in the house.

So saying it wasn't really different than boarding school is bullshit again!

Imagine how your kids would be if they were taken from you at an early age forced to speak a different unknown language and abused in many cases?

It can causes a life time of trauma and many mental health problems.

do you understand what involuntarily means ? CC , he did not say it was voluntary

"....further, by the 1940's most of the children were there for social welfare reasons, such as the death or incapacity of a parent. They had nowhere else to go." Grave Error p99

.

It is reassuring to read that you do not support forcing people to speak a language other than their own.
The majority Russian population in eastern Ukraine who has been forcibly denied the right to speak their native language appreciate your support.

I hope you don't face the wrath of forage, because he takes a different position on this issue.

That is of course assuming that you are not just being a hypocrite and applying a different set of rules depending on who is being oppressed and who is the oppressor.

Quit while you’re ahead. Your English brethren slaved a lot of Irish and Scottish children in the new world. Tait is English as London bridge and we all have axes to grind with the English. Start waging war against every inhumanity eventually it will be coming back at you.

[cropgrower]

yes you CC are responsible for the terrible things that were done to the irish by your ancestors , looks like you still hate them seeing as you keep telling me to leave Canada , racism all the way

[chuckChuck]

Just more residential school denialism and deflection? That's all you got when it comes to discussing what happened in Canada!

And we are still living with the legacy of residential schools. So it's not all in the past it's in the present.

If you can get beyond your denialism and lame deflections, try to figure out what Stephen Harper was apologizing for?

And that justifys killing innocent children by bombing hospitals?

Do you not know anything about the long standing civil war in Ukraine?
