Give Terry Glavin and the National Post their due. This took guts.
This is how it all began, a year ago this week: ‘Horrible History’: Mass Grave of Indigenous Children Reported in Canada. On May 28, 2021, that’s how the New York Times headlined the first of a summer-long series of gruesome “discoveries” that precipitated a descent into paroxysms of shame, guilt and rage that swept across the country.
That first story was ostensibly about 215 children whose remains were discovered in a mass grave at the site of the long-shuttered Kamloops Indian Residential School, on the grounds of the main Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc reserve in British Columbia’s southern interior. The New York Times headline illustrates the way the story was almost universally reported.
Except that’s not what happened in Kamloops.
Read it all.
Stating the obvious while still representing other historical realities.
“Given the unconscionable death toll in the schools due to malnutrition, tuberculosis, influenza, meningitis, pneumonia and other infectious diseases — the mortality rate in the residential schools in the early years was sometimes up to five times higher than among children in regular schools”
Well, yeah, because these schools were located in far from urban centers and away from then-modern heathcare. And the only relevant comparison is to the reserves themselves, where entire communities were being wiped out by disease and extreme poverty – which was the reason the church and government took the kids away.
Whoa whoa… are you suggesting that early 19th century Indian tribes weren’t the idyllic settings our media and politicians have painted for us???? Surely you jest.
“the only relevant comparison is to the reserves themselves”
Almost all residential schools were on reserves. A Hobbema honey I knew went to the Hobbema residential school. Her father sent her. Few Indian kids were required to go to residential school. Kids apprehended by Social Services were often placed in residential schools.
Clearly, a certain agenda was behind both matters. Then again, that’s nothing new.

There are many sensational stories about gravesites located by radar.
Is it true that there is resistance about verifying the data?
Is the speculation of greater value to some folks than the truth?
I think the Kamloops band are getting cash to dig up the bodies. There’s lots of resistance to doing it for obvious reasons. If there aren’t any then it’ll be memoryholed. If you hear nothing in a couple years you’ll know it was a hoax.
But they don’t have to dig. Why would they dig at all when the money is flowing from the federal government. Mission Accomplished! I say. Talking about Liberals and Indian bands, these aren’t people who tend to appreciate precision.
It all started with Dr Sarah Beaulieu, who thought she saw mass graves while using ground penetrating radar.
She was wrong.
Very wrong.
Maybe she saw what she wanted to see.
Or was paid to see
Write your MP and ask them how the forensic examinations on those unmarked graves is coming along.
With all due respect Kate, the article is good, but a bit too politically correct.
They go out of their way to not mention who started it all, they mention radar about 5 times as if radars had a mind of their own.
As if it was the radar that contacted the media!…
It was Dr Sarah Beaulieu who was behind that radar and who thought she had hit the jack pot.
Here is how she describes her job ; “to bring to light the stories of, and give voice to, the disenfranchised groups that have been overlooked in the historical record.”
the 215 graves only existed in her fervent imagination fueled by her need to blame whites for something, anything..
This 12 minutes video from last January is, in my opinion, better than the National Post article.

Excellent video and article.
Not One Corpse Has Been Found in the ‘Mass Grave’ of Indigenous Children in Canada.
Not one.
These have been shit tests from day one. The overlords and their pet brownshirts are constantly pushing the boundaries to see what they can get away with. Now they’re straight up lying to us about something anyone who’s ever worked in construction knows is a lie.
All of Trudeau’s subsidized and ‘Officially Licensed Journalists’ got the Canadian Press’s ‘Story Of The Year’ completely wrong and the unsubsidized and unlicensed independent media reported the truth almost a year ago.
Licensed To Lie to Canadians, and given our tax dollars to lie to Canadians.
Glavin’s take on it that these were mistakes is complete bullshit.
Nobody is that stupid and incompetent.
I work full time and I knew it was all bullshit.
They work in the media full time, on the ‘Story Of The Year’ and get it completely wrong.
Mind you if Glavin didn’t pretend that this was a mistake this would have have been published.
Rebel News couldn’t get their Trudeau Media License because they board said that only 1% of their reporting was news.
How much of that other 99% was the actual truth about the fake grave stories and was counted at false when it in fact was true?
Remember folks, the Canadian Press Story Of The Year was complete bullshit.
Will Trudeau issue a tear filled apology?
Will Ryerson change it’s name back again?
Will the statues be put back up?
Rebel and True North have covered this before Glavin.
I’m so sick of it. The pandering to this community. As my friend says, ‘they are why we can’t have nice things.’
My daughter is in grade 4 and I swear the only history she has been taught is about aboriginals.
The only guts the National Post and ALL other Canadian newspapers exhibit are remnants from descaled and chopped up fish.
Glavin and others need to grow up by speaking more truthfully that “residential” schools were private schools demanded by treaties. The dishonest Indian leadership need a damn good reset! Glavin should have pointed out an alarming fact – the ‘grave’ stories were government sponsored HATE against the Catholic Church. St. Jean Baptiste Parish in Morinville, Alberta was burned to the ground because Glavin and HIS ilk chose HATE over facts. A year later and his attempt at correction falls flat like wrapped fish. I’m sick of these people and the 24/7 Indian LIES. That beautiful church and others like it were martyred by criminals.
Glavin and the owners of Canada’s newspapers need to feel the pains of fire before discovering real truth and reconciliation. Until then, it’s UNDERSTANDABLE why many us look at Canada’s Indians as stage actors dressed in faux costumes.
Left wingers are coming out now.Sickening bunch of pricks
That is part of the reason for this long-standing tripe.
Division, confusion, hatred for the Church, deflection from Justin and his dad, expansion of the Big Aboriginal and victimhood industries …
The list could go on.
Everyone knows that the popular press lied, along with their masters in the grievance industry, but that is irrelevant. The sheep believe the lies and that is all that is needed.
Of note, it’s been known since day 1 there was zero evidence of 215 graves or anything else nefarious like a mass grave, just soil disturbances.
I expect politicians like Trudeau to jump all over this as it’s clear he’s hell bent on destroying this country and any unity we have left. What is much more disappointing is that as usual, conservative politicians and all media couldn’t take a knee to this nonsense fast enough. Scott Moe embarrassed himself as usual buying this hook, line and sinker. I think it was around this time that I tuned into John Gormley for the last time. He was spewing all kinds of drivel, practically in tears over the “newly” discovered graves in Saskatchewan. It’s just all pathetic and disgusting. This country doesn’t deserve to stay together or succeed, this is just the latest example.
I agree Glavin passed these off as mistakes while many think “deliberate chicanery and fraud” but he did get the story published in the state funded media. Yes, Rebel and True North has covered this much better and earlier. I think Glavin must read True North.
Is the National Post still getting paid by the Liberal Government?
This took guts?
Telling the truth as a National News Reporting Business should be job #1
Do they deserve praise?
No
Not After the last few years…
Where’s the truth about all levels of our governments, media and Heath committing murder of their citizens with mandated shots?
Where did Trudeau get his information from?
The media?
Shouldn’t the Prime Moron be guided by something a little more reliable than Marxist herd of doughheaded Ryerson grads?
How could he and his advisors not know that this was all BS?
Whose running the gong show, the corrupt Liberals or the corrupt media?
There seems to be a pattern here where Maggie’s Moron and the Liberal Party follow the media narratives.
But then are the media being fed those narratives from the PMO?
Who are the monkeys and who are the organ grinders?
He needed deflection and division and he got it.
So, NatPo, fully a year after millions of us have been calling bullshit on this so-called “story”, deserves credit for being so brave? After they, themselves, helped perpetrate the lie? That’s some seriously twisted shit.
I got to george fraud got murdered and quit rite there. Derek Chauvin helped mother nature take out the trash, there was NO murder
Hey, at least we got Trudeau Surfing Day out of it, didn’t we?
In a Time of Universal Deceit — Telling the Truth Is a Revolutionary Act
Good comments. Nothing brave about trying to cover your ass after the fact.
A really good read until I got to the part about George Floyd being “murdered”.
Sorry, no. He died of a drug overdose (from swallowing his stash of fentanyl to avoid being busted for it) , no one was kneeling on his neck (it was his shoulder, and only because he refused to stop struggling) and if you can bleat “I can’t breathe!” 21 times then yes, you *are* in fact breathing.
You beat me to it, Fred. I was about to make the same comment. I did post it on the NP comment section.
“You beat me to it, Fred. I was about to make the same comment. I did post it on the NP comment section.”
So did I. It’s the only other (relatively) uncensored outlet available to us.

EDIT: I take it back…my post ended up CONTENT DISABLED, and the comments had been closed.
Cowards. All factual information, and all of it came out during the trial.
When is a lie not a lie?????
“Got it wrong” suggests they wanted to get it right.
The George Floyd Effect is a grotesque phenomenon, and about 99% the product of media lies.
How many people know that there were two others in the vehicle that night when Rodney King was arrested for driving over 110 mph after drinking a whole lot of Olde English 800?
I’ve been on the road for a month and am presently up in the bush in NW Ontario – near a rez.
The first night I got here I had to shoot a bear that was breaking into the cabin.
The locals (ojibwa) are shit scared of bears. Their beliefs suggest they represent their ancestors.
I’ve been in the bush with natives who are spooked and claim they hear bears calling at night. I personally have not heard them and have been in the same camp as them.
The bottom line is the red Indian is a very suspicious character. He is surrounded by ghosts. The dead are never far away, ready to revel themselves at any moment. If a bear might be your grandpa.. where do we go from here?
