First it was copper piping in abandoned or empty houses…now they reefiendtheir taste for a tad more lucrative outings
Now its Platinum & Palladium..
Seems one would need to collect 500+ catalytic converters before a Recycler will buy it….
It wasn’t just copper pipe that got pinched. Buildings with copper roofing were vandalized.
Even more outrageous and, ultimately, stupid was the theft of copper wire….. from radio station transmitters….. while those stations were broadcasting. I’ve heard a number of news stories about that sort of thing through my sources in the amateur radio community. Those people were lucky they weren’t fried by the currents in the live wires.
I’m curious why the usual eco-zealots aren’t calling this a HATE CRIME against Gaia!? After all … just imagine what our air would look like if everyone is driving around with no catalytic converter? Do we really want to back to the “Jim Crow era” of the 1970’s LA air quality?
Mask Mandates have never been about the Virus….just another example of “Yellow Star of David” Fascism.
Like building a chain link fence to stop mosquitos – and the FASCISTS that mandate them know this perfectly well.
It’s gonna be interesting come JULY 01, if Calgary’s Mayor, “Achmed” Naheed NENXI will rescind his city wide ordinance…He, being such an Esteemed & Certified member of the Medical community…
Not to mention that the mask mostly hides 2 of Nenshi’s 3 chins.
So the Florida gay parade “killer” turned out to be an old queen who should have had his license cut in half long since.
Because the facts of the case don’t fit the narrative, you’ll hear no more about it.
The old queen will walk—and probably keep his driver’s license.

On that same note.
Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard will become the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics after being selected by New Zealand for the women’s event at the Tokyo Games, a decision set to fuel the debate over inclusion and fairness in sport.
Hubbard will compete in the super-heavyweight 87-kg category, her selection made possible by updated qualifying requirements.
The 43-year-old, who will be the oldest lifter at the Games, had competed in men’s weightlifting competitions before transitioning in 2013 .super-heavyweight 87-kg category
I guess he she can use any bathroom-Shower she, he wants.
You’d think being a woman would be arequirement. Oh, sorry, ideology trumps reality.
If only we could have figured out decades ago that the way to shut up feminazis was demand men be called women, too.
They seem near terrified to speak out against women’s sports being taken over by more and more mentally-ill men. Men who apparently have no guilt over cheating against female athletes to steal away any fame and fortune they may have fairly earned.
The East German women’s Olympic swim team got away with it for years.
So did Bruce Jenner.
No Surprise with that idiocy coming from New Zealand….NONE.
What truly surprises me is that Canada does not have anyone with similar attributes..??
Come on Justin, you MUST know someone..??
And to think that this is happening in the same country that produced Sir Ernest Rutherford and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa……
Diddly, “The old queen will walk—and probably keep his driver’s license.’
Um, don’t you mean mince? The mincing caused, I presume, by the overuse of his derriere.
Some earth shaking changes are coming in the near future in the world of politics for all countries.
The blatant crap and corruption has to end some time.

Unless President Trump gets back in office this year, he won’t be back.
Politics is on a wave of emotions that has to be harnessed when it is happening.
Either he’s back in or this roller coaster take too much energy for him to make it to 2024 and DeSantis will be chosen for the Republicans.
Trump is never “getting back in office.” He destroyed his brand with the fake insurrection. He only has his true believers now. Centrists and “Chamber of Commerce” Republicans have moved on. He could be a third-party spoiler in 2024 (which Biden and/or Harris would love) much like Ralph Nader who ruined Al Gore’s chances.
Fake insurrection? What a mononic statement. Trump had a protest and nothing more. I watched the live feed and he said nothing remotely treacherous. The most honourable and loyal thing a citizen can do is protest injustice.
The protesters could have stayed on the Mall. They didn’t. They barged into the Capitol and vandalized it (thus… “fake insurrection”), giving the Dems and the Media all the pictures and stories needed to drive the final nail into the coffin holding Trump’s political career. Trump will never recover from that, and waiting for some judicial miracle to restore him into the Presidency is just time-wasting folly. Time to regroup and find a new leader. I have no idea who that could be (deSantis, Cruz, Ivanka, ???).
Again – moronic. You apparently haven’t seen the videos of Capitol guards waving in the tourists they now have in jail. None of the very few violent criminals that day were arrested. Why? Because the whole intrusion of the Capitol was organized by the FBI.
There is increasing evidence that the CIA was involved in planning and executing the ” inserrection”. It was a frame up to discredit Trump. You obviously fell for it.
Awesome ,You still trust the media?
You bought their Jan 6th Narrative?
Always nice to meet a true Gullible.
“They don’t want the whole world to know that they need grain and they are in a bit of strife so they very closely regulate the information that is released,” he said.
Speculation about problems with the crops in China can be a huge driver for world prices but it also has implications domestically for the government.”
Well, if you followed the weather in Chinah for the last year, I’m surprised they aren’t starving at this moment. Remember the rains and floods last year in central Chinah? Almost took out the 3 Gorges Dam, if it didn’t damage the damned thing permanently. Whole lot of whistling past the graveyard on that.
It would not surprise me in the least if the US keeps the border closed indefinitely.
They have their national security to think about.
After all, why would the US want an open border with a newly communist loving Canada that invited the Red Army to train in Canada in one of the greatest acts of utter insanity ever made by a supposedly ‘Canadian’ Prime Minister.
The US intelligence is probably tracking many recent questionable immigrants flying and walking into Canada.
Oh well as long as the corrupt and paid off Cdn news media play along with the Trudeau Canadian Communist Party, all is well in central Canada.
WEXIT is needed more than ever.
Both Canada and the US are currently being run by communists, not sure why closing the border to Canada would be a problem. It sure as hell isn’t because of the whu who flu.
Gaylord Weston tells Dear Leader he doesn’t want cross border shopping. The land border stays closed to non-essential. The idea is that a closed border means you cannot go on a shopping spree. It’s not worth getting $800 worth of merchandise and trying to haul it back by airline.
However, there are unsupported claims that Canadians have no problem driving to the USA now. Americans are still being stopped for non-essential travelling by CBSA.
Very big Dot MikeT
Any truth to the comment read on FR that Canadian barley stores have ergot (a fungii – had to look it up) caused by dim solar activity?
Small amount of Ergot is very common in both barley and wheat and has been around for decades so hardly news. Usually ergot infection can be cleaned out of a grain lot easily. Some years there is more, other years less.
This happens all the time. Had it not been for the recording, the brutalized victim would have no chances proving it in court and the thug would have walked away. That is why they do it, because they can and routinely get away with it.
Chauvin got more than a fair trail.
It’s a decision in law that was inevitable.

From a friend and ally:
“I invite you to set aside one hour of your time if possible to view this video of a retired Canadian army lieutenant-colonel turned Alberta emergency management official speaking of our troubles. (For those of you with army experience, he is merely a logistics officer, but regardless of that he seems capable of rational thought!).
Video Summary – Canadian nexus with some Alberta focus, suitable for beginner dissenters, putting the virus threat in perspective, official censorship by government and medical bodies, how governments should have responded, secret agreement with our position by politicians and medical personnel who share our views but are unable to speak up, futility of continuing current strategies.
Please start (or continue) mocking and harassing elected bozos, public “health” wizards and witches, and over-zealous pig police (Calgary – I’m looking at you). Living like this is unacceptable despite those who are trying to make it normal or trying to distract us with frivolities.”

Excellent Link…thank you..!!

I have said it before. The Entire Canadian Body Politic is GUILTY of Premeditated Murder, Economic Destruction & Crimes Against Humanity.
This Globalist Filth deserve a noose en masse…

He gives a great presentation on what should have been done and what should be done if the governments want to save their citizens. What he fails to realize, or rather fails to delve into, is that the Globalist governments are following Agenda 21/30. Sadly, some of us know what that means. That is, b’bye, salut and arrivederci to mankind except for 500 million.
Thanks Jimmy.
RETRIBUTION.
These current leaders ran for office bragging about their “leadership”.
Firing them all is far too generous a reward.
The known fact that we had a well thought out, planned response(Built on the hard lessons of past pandemics and government FUBAR) and these Bozos cast it aside so that they might hide behind the skirts of the Central Bureaucrats.
That is “leadership” that cannot go unrewarded.
The bought and paid for, double dipping media are excited that its national whiny indian day. Lots of stories on the great contributions indians have made to Turtle Island(Canada). And growing calls to cancel Canada Day celebrations.
Once the anti Canada day folks figure out that no holiday means you work that day ,that will be the end of the protest.Mind you this will only apply to people with jobs
Agree with your sympathies but not your prediction. What’s going to happen is that nearly everyone gets July 1 off, but that the federal government and the media cartel turn the day into a whiny Indian day, with all saying Canada is an evil, racist and genocidal country. This way everybody in establishment Canada get what they want.
Ah, but didn’t Prinz Dummkopf promise a brand-new paid holiday? After all, our civil service works so hard….. at doing as little as possible.
Why are we allowing statues of Sir John A MacDonald to be taken down without a whimper?
The residential schools were run by churches. People of the cloth were trusted and it seemed a good thing at the time.
Surely governments of the day were not aware of the abuse in those places because of that trust. They were pure evil, no one checked. It’s a stain on humanity to take children from parents because they lived differently from the mainstream, that was the crux of the matter. They should have been offered help, medical or otherwise
when needed and left to live their lives according to their heritage.
With what’s happening today we know it didn’t work, it was wrong and repercussions continue with no end game in sight. It’s not about money into a bottomless pit, money will not fix it without accountability.
Because john a mcdonald was a horrible racist as are most canadians (as evidenced by the supporters of the only world leader to have ever appeared in black face multiple times).
The only way to move forward is with the dissolution of the racist country that is Canada.
Exactly right. The other option at the time woud have been to leave those kids behind educationally. Not a viable or humane choice. Many of the schools may have been run badly. Others were not. Blaming McDonald is totally misguided, but it is another tactic being used by those who want to undermine Canada’s nationhood.
Again on the subject of toppling statues, why are the history erasers not toppling Mackenzie King who refused asylum to ship carrying German Jews fleeing Hitler’s hell in 1939, sending them to their death?
I’m sure there have been apologies all around but they ring hollow, like most all political apologies and mean squat to the people or the issue.
Or Laurier? St. Laurent?
Could it be that they’re Liberals?
YES!
Without the residential schools the indigenous folks would have self-eradicated. Perhaps the anger is really due to the fact we still have them around.
I don’t think this is really about the aboriginal people. It is about dividing Canadians and destroying the country. Getting rid of our symbols of our country does effectively that.
Cause we in the West no longer give a damn.
Burn your history,destroy your vital infrastructure.

Yes, but need to get some mileage out of the the trannies that were the East German swimmers. These guys still have their medals despite repeated calls to have them revoked.

The woke tie themselves into knots as they kneel down to China….
VF Corp, the owner of North Face jackets and Vans sneakers quietly took down a statement raising concern about allegations of forced labor in China’s cotton-rich Xinjiang region after another fashion brand, H&M, was erased from China’s internet.
“Three other big apparel companies (Zara, Calvin Klein, Victoria’s Secret) also pulled or altered statements critical of Xinjiang from their websites in the days that followed the boycott of H&M…”
“…Better Cotton Initiative (coalition of non-profits & brands like Nike, Adidas) also removed a months-old statement on its website raising concerns about forced labor in Xinjiang. It hasn’t publicly commented on the issue since.”
“Many big apparel companies, meanwhile, have made environmental and human-rights concerns central to their image in recent years, responding to demands by activists, governments and consumers in their home markets.”
(ie. BIG FAT WOKE HYPOCRITES)
Anyone remember the breathless, endless coverage of the “In and Out Scandal” of Stephen Harper’s Conservative Government? When party funds were distributed to individual MPs, who in turn spent on national party advertising?
Gee, the Liberals would never, EVER do such a thing, would they?
“……..expenses filed in the House of Commons shows 149 Liberal MPs, or 97 per cent of the caucus, made payments out of their office budgets to Data Sciences Inc., founded by a close friend of Justin Trudeau. And 152 Liberal MPs made payments to NGP VAN, a political-campaign software used by the U.S. Democratic Party and licensed by the Liberals to run their “Liberalist” database. The issue of expenses claimed by Liberal members of Parliament raises ethical questions about whether taxpayer funds are being spent for partisan political purposes.”
“…”Liberalist” is a modified version of NGP VAN Vote Builder software used by the Democratic Party, which the Liberal Party licenses and manages. Montreal-based Data Sciences Inc. provides technical support for “Liberalist.” Data Sciences Inc is owned by Tom Pitfield, a childhood friend of Mr. Trudeau who ran the Liberals’ digital operations in the 2015 and 2019 elections. He is expected to take on the same role in the next general election.
“Liberal MP John McKay also said he had no idea why money from his office budget was going to Mr. Pitfield’s company.
“I haven’t got a clue,” he said. “I can’t explain it. I vaguely recall once a year we write a cheque and it’s always been explained that it is within the ethical guidelines, so we all kind of sign up for it and it goes into some oblivion.”
“Mr. Pitfield’s wife, Anna Gainey, was the president of the Liberal Party, and is also close to the Trudeau family. The Pitfields and the Trudeaus vacationed together at the Aga Khan’s resort in the Bahamas over the Christmas holidays in 2016. The Ethics Commissioner ruled a year later that Mr. Trudeau had violated conflict-of-interest rules by accepting the free holiday.”
“So, we have a situation where taxpayers dollars are being used to effectively subsidize the political digital operations of the Liberal Party of Canada,” he said. “These are taxpayer office budgets paying subscription fees for running the Liberal Party’s ‘black ops’ and their election software.”
They can afford to get out of it. After all, the Swiss aren’t led by a megalomanical ponce who believes that he’s world-league quality.
Your tax dollars at work. Diverse Toronto media are excited about the ground breaking ceremony for a multi million dollar whiny indian hub that will take up a whole block downtown.
We are ONE MORE lawsuit away from destroying the corrupt NCAA and finally getting college athletes $$$PAID$$$ according to the TRUE WORTH in the Free Market.
Now we need to dispense with the ridiculous notion of “amateur” “student-athletes” in another class-action lawsuit and start PAYING the NBA and NFL Farm System players their true worth. The black activists should be “kneeling” on the necks of college Presidents … not on the Flag of the Free Market!

I wonder if Barrack Obama is proud of his brainchild “Black Lives Matter” burning looting and murdering throughout the USA. When he was elected he spent 8 years riling up the blacks that they were oppresed and mistreated by whites. Most of those listening were youths age 10 to 14. Those same youths are now in their 20’s and are doing most of the damage in the country. Barrack Obama is very similar to Neville Chamberlain, the only difference is Barrack surrended to Iran and shipped billions of dollars in cash so they could continue on their quest for a nuclear bomb. History will record electing Obama was the biggest mistake Americans ever made, even bigger than the Vietnam war.

A Difficult Story
by Pete Cross
The “discovery” of the children’s bodies found on the property of the Tk’emlups te Secwopmc First Nation in Kamloops, B.C has captured the attention and the hearts of Canada.
This residential school operated from the 1890’s to the 1960’s and now in 2021 pronouncements are circling the globe claiming a “discovered” “mass grave”, where the bodies of two hundred and fifteen children have been interred. The clear and intended implication was that the bodies were hidden purposefully to avoid criminal responsibility. The discovery with the use of ground radar, was now held up as “proof” of the “genocide” of the Indigenous perpetrated by the government of Canada, the Catholic church, and the often not-mentioned Protestant religious groups.
It is an event or story which leaves even those some distance from the issue, affected, wordless, searching for things to say, or at least some sort of explanation. The death of any child, society’s innocents, layers us in emotion and draws up unstoppable grief. As some anonymous person said, “losing a child is like losing your breath… and never getting it back”. It is routinely described as unimaginable and easily overwhelming. It is a difficult story, but there is a problem— it is not totally accurate.
It seems that we have reached a state of affairs in this country where one must question almost all that is being written or reported in the main stream media. It is becoming painfully apparent that almost everyone has an agenda, whether it be political, or social, and, it is permanently warping our ability to trust. Context is almost always missing. Instead, we are being fed polar views delivered by the loudest insistent voices of there being only one truth. In this case, there is the immediate gush of fury, followed by outlandish statements and demands for retribution. There is a palpable governmental and corporate fear of being on the wrong side of any issue and the factual information is lost in the rush to judgement.
By putting the deaths of children in “grisly” and “shocking” terms, the headlines wrote themselves. All who may have been directly or indirectly involved are immediately identified and placed on the wrong side of the blame spectrum; accusing fingers pointing at the presumed guilty, the stain of that guilt never to be removed. History has shown us many times that this quick need to assign fault, the ignoring of rational alternative records, has not served us well, nevertheless we rarely learn.
To ask questions, to examine the record, of that which is being portrayed in this residential school story, risks insulting the mainstream. Alternate stories are guaranteed to offend almost all who only see black and white. Be forewarned, I am about to offend those of you who only think in straight lines. That rationale that it has been said therefore it is true. Reality is that almost always the facts are found in various shades of grey. Often, a single one-sided glance can be deceptive.
These deaths are difficult to process, but it was equally dismaying to see the commentary on the news; the reporting of the deaths as a “genocide” a “crime scene” of unequalled proportions all of which reverberated through the radio, television and print media. Children “stolen” from their homes and culture. The media in its various forms showing no compunction in knowingly feeding the fire of outrage. The oft repeated story portrayed intrepid searchers stumbling across the evidence of heinous crimes. An unmarked grave site, where children were buried in anonymity. Predictably, politicians of every stripe, climbed on board the indignation train, innuendo solely fed by untested claims of criminality.
Jagmeet Singh, the Federal leader of the NDP, dramatically, breathlessly, and tearfully, literally unable to speak. The Liberal Apology Party, having apologized several times before, to no avail, are now demanding apologies from the Vatican— a political sleight of hand designed to make you look the other way. The wokes scurrying around the country trying to hide the statues of Sir John A., the now damned originator of residential schools.
The purpose of this post is not to examine the policy of the residential schools. Was it an attempt by colonists to wipe out the Indigenous culture, or on the other hand was it an effort to assimilate and educate? The answer is likely somewhere in the middle. The current accepted view was that it was a misguided policy at the very best and it is likely equally clear that many of those involved in the early years were unconcerned at the time with preserving the “culture” of the First Nations. That is a never ending circular debate. The purpose of this post is to merely examine what the evidence actually shows up to this point in time.
The early reports of the findings by the use of “ground radar” gave one the impression of it being an unexpected “grisly discovery”. Grisly yes, but it was not a “discovery”.
The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in examining residential schools identified the names of, or information about, more than 4100 children who died of the 150,000 children (some estimates are lower at 3200 children). That represents a fatality rate of 2.7%, or if one accepts the lower rate, 2.13%.
In 1950, in Canada, the infant mortality rate was 2.92%. A higher death rate nationally than in the residential schools.
That aside, that children were dying in saddening numbers in the years of the residential schools is a fact. However, the biggest killer in 1900 was pneumonia and influenza and those two illnesses alone recorded 202 deaths per 100,000 people in Canada. There were other killer diseases lurking: smallpox, typhus, cholera, yellow fever, and tuberculosis. TB by itself was widespread in children after WWI. It was also deadlier, as it was slow to recognize, as it affected the glands, bones and joints rather than the lungs. Those children that contracted tuberculosis had a very low survival rate. So this is being reported as a “genocide” when to date, there has been no evidence of anyone being purposefully killed.
The second question was why were they then placed in unmarked graves on the property? Was this an attempt to hide wrong doing? There is a simpler but yet unpalatable answer. The cost of returning the bodies to the families was prohibitive during those austere times. That has been documented. Secondly, record keeping in those times both on the Reserves and by the Church were spotty at best and often totally absent. Many children had only their assigned names and a guess as to their true age.
So the children were by necessity, dictated by the times, buried on the property. The fact that the children were buried on the sites of the residential schools throughout the country— some in unmarked graves, others in marked graves, has been known for a very long time.
The Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement had already recognized that there were 139 residential schools across the country. (These are only those that received Federal support, there were others run solely by religious orders or provincial governments). An undertaking to return the bodies to the families would be, even to this day, a logistical nightmare.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 in releasing their report even included a section on missing children and burial grounds. They recommended 94 calls to action. One of those calls was for the the Federal government to work with churches, indigenous communities, and former students “to establish and maintain an online registry of residential school cemeteries, including where possible, plot maps showing the location of deceased residential school children”.
So two years ago, in the 2019 budget the Liberal Federal government allocated $32 million to implement the burial recommendations. There is still $27 million left. Now, Mr. Trudeau says the government is leaping into action and is going to distribute the money “on an urgent basis”. These graves were not uncovered and fully documented sooner for a simple reason—government and Indigenous bureaucratic inefficiency. We should also keep in mind that the Provincial government paid for the examination of the the Kamloops residential school site. This clearly was not a cover up.
There is the additional claim running rampant as part of the cover up theory— that the Catholic Church and the Federal government is withholding records from the schools.
In fact, the Federal government did indeed destroy documents related to the residential “school system between 1936 and 1944, including 200,000 Indian Affairs files”. Were the records destroyed as a result of a governmental cover-up, or were they destroyed as a matter of routine? Government records often run on a twenty-five or fifty year timeline. One could presume that death records of any kind should never be destroyed, but that is a separate issue.
In the early times of the residential schools, accurate record keeping was in short supply. Children were coming in from Indigenous communities where there were often no records of births or deaths, that was the custom. The schools upon receiving these children, were also seemingly sparse with their documentation when compared to standards of the 21st century. Also contrary to the current reporting, in fact, records at the Kamloops residential school have already been provided. It showed only fifty one deaths compared to the two hundred and fifteen, but is that the result of poor and absent record keeping, or was it a conspiracy to only reveal some of them?
Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the academic director at the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre at the University of British Columbia, stated that the records from the Kamloops residential school had not been provided to the Truth and Reconciliation group. However, she admits that the “churches handed over most residential school records, but in a few cases, the narratives were withheld, notably at Kamloops and St Annes (in Ontario)” So the Church records, like the children’s bodies were and are hiding in plain sight. The fact that no one has acted on them is probably the story that should be pursued.
The final question is whether or not this is a site where there is evidence of criminal activity. Is it as NDP MP Leah Gazan says, that all the residential schools are the sites of “active crime scenes”?
Well no, they are not crime scenes, because crime scenes need to have evidence or confirmation of wrong doing. Now some may argue that the stories told by the Indigenous “survivors”, is evidence enough of criminality. In recent years we seem to have taken the approach that allegations standing by themselves are sufficient evidence of wrong doing. As any homicide investigator will tell you, that is an untenable position.
Little is yet known as to the condition of the bodies. Ground radar (actually it works like sonar) shows very little, other than shapes in the ground. The exhumation of the bodies and subsequent pathology could possibly show evidence of assault, or lead to estimations of causes of death, but to pronounce it so, so early in the investigation is unprincipled.
Was there wrongdoing at the schools in the form of physical abuse or sexual deviance? Lets ask the current Armed Forces or the RCMP whether its possible that their organizations have been open to abuse and sexual assaults over the last number of years? Would we think the Catholic churches any different? It would seem impossible that the Catholic church, whose wrongdoings have been hauntingly exposed during the last several years around the world, would not be guilty of some criminal offences over such a lengthy span of time. However, the evidence in the burial site will not likely aid that level or type of investigation.
Even if one is to assume that this was in fact a crime scene, then it should be suggested that the RCMP do more than “offer its full support” to the First Nations who are now in attendance and overseeing the “crime scene”. A crime scene by the way, which will now be forever tainted in the event something is discovered amongst the bodies. The RCMP, if they believe that this is a possible crime scene, should be taking charge and control of the scene if that were the case. Instead, the Minister Bill Blair says the RCMP continues to go forward with its “work towards reconciliation”
Mr. Blair also apologizes for the RCMP having performed according to the law and carried out the “clear and unavoidable role”. He is late to that apology, probably confused, because Commissioner Zaccardelli apologized in 2004, and then Commissioner Paulson apologized in 2014.
Despite all these inconsistencies, the fallout damage in the reporting on the residential school is now done. The political gains that the Indigenous movement hoped to engender have been cemented. The world is now believing that Canadian history includes the genocide of their Indigenous population.
Now, of course, when pressed on the word “genocide” the spokespersons are falling back to the more acceptable argument of “cultural genocide. And, only yesterday an Indigenous spokesperson walked backed away from the “mass grave” description and now clarifies the record to say that they were actually “individual” un-marked grave sites.
The Perry Bellegarde’s of the Indigenous movement will now proffer up the discoveries as a lever to aid in the battle to get passed– the recently introduced Liberal legislation Bill C-15— the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous Peoples Act. Who would dare to question the bill, while expressing their overwhelming guilt in the treatment of the Indigenous. There is a valid argument that this future Act could give the Indigenous possible veto power over the economic development of Canada. One would have to be incredibly naive to think for a moment that this point has been lost on the Indigenous leadership in Canada.
In the next few months, monies will be provided for further examination of marked and un-marked grave sites throughout the country, a process which could take years and years of painstaking “investigation”. The Mounties will no doubt dutifully continue to “standby” and “provide support”. Commissioner Lucki will be the lead social worker.
The Indigenous can and will be encouraged by the media to continue to narrate the verbal claims of abuse and “incarceration” at the schools. The dominant reported narrative, like the one surrounding the Indigenous Missing Women’s task force, will remain by its very origin, clearly slanted. The masses will be satiated with apologies or flowered monuments. The truth will have to surface on another day and in another time.
Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Mark Miller will continue to ask the Pope for an apology as there preferred policy option. It is interesting to note that Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto of the Catholic Church, said that he felt Trudeau’s comments were “unhelpful” and “not based on real facts”. Amen to that.
That truth is that children were removed from often desperate situations and sent to sparse boarding schools during a time of disease and illness— ailments from which this country could not protect them; run by religious groups who brought with them there own inherent dysfunctions.

Thanks, that was an excellent summary!

We are not the past.
That episode of history is the past and these media assholes want us today to be responsible.
Correction the racist whites.
Those who issue virus fines make it up as they go along:
Meanwhile, in Britain, the statistics for May 2021:
Co-vid was the 24th biggest killer.
99% of people who died DIDN’T die from the Corona Virus.
From the comments;
“Less than 1% of people died WITH coronavirus. That is not the same as saying they died OF coronavirus.”

Anyone have any spare catalytic converters laying around?
“Bay Area Catalytic Converter Thefts Fueled By Vast Underground Market For Precious Metals”

First it was copper piping in abandoned or empty houses…now they reefiendtheir taste for a tad more lucrative outings
Now its Platinum & Palladium..
Seems one would need to collect 500+ catalytic converters before a Recycler will buy it….
It wasn’t just copper pipe that got pinched. Buildings with copper roofing were vandalized.
Even more outrageous and, ultimately, stupid was the theft of copper wire….. from radio station transmitters….. while those stations were broadcasting. I’ve heard a number of news stories about that sort of thing through my sources in the amateur radio community. Those people were lucky they weren’t fried by the currents in the live wires.
I’m curious why the usual eco-zealots aren’t calling this a HATE CRIME against Gaia!? After all … just imagine what our air would look like if everyone is driving around with no catalytic converter? Do we really want to back to the “Jim Crow era” of the 1970’s LA air quality?
Ohhhhhhhhhh Mo’mmmmmaaaaaaaaa
Yes I know. You’re all sick of this stuff but just one more:
https://www.city-journal.org/do-we-need-mask-mandates
Mask Mandates have never been about the Virus….just another example of “Yellow Star of David” Fascism.
Like building a chain link fence to stop mosquitos – and the FASCISTS that mandate them know this perfectly well.
It’s gonna be interesting come JULY 01, if Calgary’s Mayor, “Achmed” Naheed NENXI will rescind his city wide ordinance…He, being such an Esteemed & Certified member of the Medical community…
Not to mention that the mask mostly hides 2 of Nenshi’s 3 chins.

So the Florida gay parade “killer” turned out to be an old queen who should have had his license cut in half long since.
Because the facts of the case don’t fit the narrative, you’ll hear no more about it.
The old queen will walk—and probably keep his driver’s license.

On that same note.
Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard will become the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics after being selected by New Zealand for the women’s event at the Tokyo Games, a decision set to fuel the debate over inclusion and fairness in sport.
Hubbard will compete in the super-heavyweight 87-kg category, her selection made possible by updated qualifying requirements.
The 43-year-old, who will be the oldest lifter at the Games, had competed in men’s weightlifting competitions before transitioning in 2013 .super-heavyweight 87-kg category
I guess he she can use any bathroom-Shower she, he wants.
You’d think being a woman would be arequirement. Oh, sorry, ideology trumps reality.
If only we could have figured out decades ago that the way to shut up feminazis was demand men be called women, too.
They seem near terrified to speak out against women’s sports being taken over by more and more mentally-ill men. Men who apparently have no guilt over cheating against female athletes to steal away any fame and fortune they may have fairly earned.
The East German women’s Olympic swim team got away with it for years.
So did Bruce Jenner.
No Surprise with that idiocy coming from New Zealand….NONE.
What truly surprises me is that Canada does not have anyone with similar attributes..??
Come on Justin, you MUST know someone..??
And to think that this is happening in the same country that produced Sir Ernest Rutherford and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa……

Unless President Trump gets back in office this year, he won’t be back.
Politics is on a wave of emotions that has to be harnessed when it is happening.
Either he’s back in or this roller coaster take too much energy for him to make it to 2024 and DeSantis will be chosen for the Republicans.
Trump is never “getting back in office.” He destroyed his brand with the fake insurrection. He only has his true believers now. Centrists and “Chamber of Commerce” Republicans have moved on. He could be a third-party spoiler in 2024 (which Biden and/or Harris would love) much like Ralph Nader who ruined Al Gore’s chances.
Fake insurrection? What a mononic statement. Trump had a protest and nothing more. I watched the live feed and he said nothing remotely treacherous. The most honourable and loyal thing a citizen can do is protest injustice.
The protesters could have stayed on the Mall. They didn’t. They barged into the Capitol and vandalized it (thus… “fake insurrection”), giving the Dems and the Media all the pictures and stories needed to drive the final nail into the coffin holding Trump’s political career. Trump will never recover from that, and waiting for some judicial miracle to restore him into the Presidency is just time-wasting folly. Time to regroup and find a new leader. I have no idea who that could be (deSantis, Cruz, Ivanka, ???).
Again – moronic. You apparently haven’t seen the videos of Capitol guards waving in the tourists they now have in jail. None of the very few violent criminals that day were arrested. Why? Because the whole intrusion of the Capitol was organized by the FBI.
There is increasing evidence that the CIA was involved in planning and executing the ” inserrection”. It was a frame up to discredit Trump. You obviously fell for it.
Awesome ,You still trust the media?
You bought their Jan 6th Narrative?
Always nice to meet a true Gullible.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2021-06-17/missing-china-grains-analyst/100219524
“Nick Crundall, a senior strategist from the Australian firm Market Check, thinks the Chinese authorities probably want to allay domestic fears about supply and limit the amount they will have to pay for imported grains.
“They don’t want the whole world to know that they need grain and they are in a bit of strife so they very closely regulate the information that is released,” he said.
Speculation about problems with the crops in China can be a huge driver for world prices but it also has implications domestically for the government.”
Well, if you followed the weather in Chinah for the last year, I’m surprised they aren’t starving at this moment. Remember the rains and floods last year in central Chinah? Almost took out the 3 Gorges Dam, if it didn’t damage the damned thing permanently. Whole lot of whistling past the graveyard on that.
US keeps border closed to Canada.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/u-s-extends-travel-restrictions-at-canada-mexico-land-borders-through-july-21
It would not surprise me in the least if the US keeps the border closed indefinitely.
They have their national security to think about.
After all, why would the US want an open border with a newly communist loving Canada that invited the Red Army to train in Canada in one of the greatest acts of utter insanity ever made by a supposedly ‘Canadian’ Prime Minister.
The US intelligence is probably tracking many recent questionable immigrants flying and walking into Canada.
Oh well as long as the corrupt and paid off Cdn news media play along with the Trudeau Canadian Communist Party, all is well in central Canada.
WEXIT is needed more than ever.
Both Canada and the US are currently being run by communists, not sure why closing the border to Canada would be a problem. It sure as hell isn’t because of the whu who flu.
Gaylord Weston tells Dear Leader he doesn’t want cross border shopping. The land border stays closed to non-essential. The idea is that a closed border means you cannot go on a shopping spree. It’s not worth getting $800 worth of merchandise and trying to haul it back by airline.
However, there are unsupported claims that Canadians have no problem driving to the USA now. Americans are still being stopped for non-essential travelling by CBSA.

Any truth to the comment read on FR that Canadian barley stores have ergot (a fungii – had to look it up) caused by dim solar activity?
Small amount of Ergot is very common in both barley and wheat and has been around for decades so hardly news. Usually ergot infection can be cleaned out of a grain lot easily. Some years there is more, other years less.

“I invite you to set aside one hour of your time if possible to view this video of a retired Canadian army lieutenant-colonel turned Alberta emergency management official speaking of our troubles. (For those of you with army experience, he is merely a logistics officer, but regardless of that he seems capable of rational thought!).
Video Summary – Canadian nexus with some Alberta focus, suitable for beginner dissenters, putting the virus threat in perspective, official censorship by government and medical bodies, how governments should have responded, secret agreement with our position by politicians and medical personnel who share our views but are unable to speak up, futility of continuing current strategies.

RETRIBUTION.
These current leaders ran for office bragging about their “leadership”.
Firing them all is far too generous a reward.
The known fact that we had a well thought out, planned response(Built on the hard lessons of past pandemics and government FUBAR) and these Bozos cast it aside so that they might hide behind the skirts of the Central Bureaucrats.
That is “leadership” that cannot go unrewarded.
The bought and paid for, double dipping media are excited that its national whiny indian day. Lots of stories on the great contributions indians have made to Turtle Island(Canada). And growing calls to cancel Canada Day celebrations.
Once the anti Canada day folks figure out that no holiday means you work that day ,that will be the end of the protest.Mind you this will only apply to people with jobs
Agree with your sympathies but not your prediction. What’s going to happen is that nearly everyone gets July 1 off, but that the federal government and the media cartel turn the day into a whiny Indian day, with all saying Canada is an evil, racist and genocidal country. This way everybody in establishment Canada get what they want.
Ah, but didn’t Prinz Dummkopf promise a brand-new paid holiday? After all, our civil service works so hard….. at doing as little as possible.
Why are we allowing statues of Sir John A MacDonald to be taken down without a whimper?
The residential schools were run by churches. People of the cloth were trusted and it seemed a good thing at the time.
Surely governments of the day were not aware of the abuse in those places because of that trust. They were pure evil, no one checked. It’s a stain on humanity to take children from parents because they lived differently from the mainstream, that was the crux of the matter. They should have been offered help, medical or otherwise
when needed and left to live their lives according to their heritage.
With what’s happening today we know it didn’t work, it was wrong and repercussions continue with no end game in sight. It’s not about money into a bottomless pit, money will not fix it without accountability.
Because john a mcdonald was a horrible racist as are most canadians (as evidenced by the supporters of the only world leader to have ever appeared in black face multiple times).
The only way to move forward is with the dissolution of the racist country that is Canada.
Exactly right. The other option at the time woud have been to leave those kids behind educationally. Not a viable or humane choice. Many of the schools may have been run badly. Others were not. Blaming McDonald is totally misguided, but it is another tactic being used by those who want to undermine Canada’s nationhood.
Again on the subject of toppling statues, why are the history erasers not toppling Mackenzie King who refused asylum to ship carrying German Jews fleeing Hitler’s hell in 1939, sending them to their death?
I’m sure there have been apologies all around but they ring hollow, like most all political apologies and mean squat to the people or the issue.
Or Laurier? St. Laurent?
Could it be that they’re Liberals?
YES!
Without the residential schools the indigenous folks would have self-eradicated. Perhaps the anger is really due to the fact we still have them around.
I don’t think this is really about the aboriginal people. It is about dividing Canadians and destroying the country. Getting rid of our symbols of our country does effectively that.
Cause we in the West no longer give a damn.
Burn your history,destroy your vital infrastructure.

VF Corp, the owner of North Face jackets and Vans sneakers quietly took down a statement raising concern about allegations of forced labor in China’s cotton-rich Xinjiang region after another fashion brand, H&M, was erased from China’s internet.
“Three other big apparel companies (Zara, Calvin Klein, Victoria’s Secret) also pulled or altered statements critical of Xinjiang from their websites in the days that followed the boycott of H&M…”
“…Better Cotton Initiative (coalition of non-profits & brands like Nike, Adidas) also removed a months-old statement on its website raising concerns about forced labor in Xinjiang. It hasn’t publicly commented on the issue since.”
“Many big apparel companies, meanwhile, have made environmental and human-rights concerns central to their image in recent years, responding to demands by activists, governments and consumers in their home markets.”

Anyone remember the breathless, endless coverage of the “In and Out Scandal” of Stephen Harper’s Conservative Government? When party funds were distributed to individual MPs, who in turn spent on national party advertising?
Gee, the Liberals would never, EVER do such a thing, would they?
“……..expenses filed in the House of Commons shows 149 Liberal MPs, or 97 per cent of the caucus, made payments out of their office budgets to Data Sciences Inc., founded by a close friend of Justin Trudeau. And 152 Liberal MPs made payments to NGP VAN, a political-campaign software used by the U.S. Democratic Party and licensed by the Liberals to run their “Liberalist” database. The issue of expenses claimed by Liberal members of Parliament raises ethical questions about whether taxpayer funds are being spent for partisan political purposes.”
“…”Liberalist” is a modified version of NGP VAN Vote Builder software used by the Democratic Party, which the Liberal Party licenses and manages. Montreal-based Data Sciences Inc. provides technical support for “Liberalist.” Data Sciences Inc is owned by Tom Pitfield, a childhood friend of Mr. Trudeau who ran the Liberals’ digital operations in the 2015 and 2019 elections. He is expected to take on the same role in the next general election.
“Liberal MP John McKay also said he had no idea why money from his office budget was going to Mr. Pitfield’s company.
“I haven’t got a clue,” he said. “I can’t explain it. I vaguely recall once a year we write a cheque and it’s always been explained that it is within the ethical guidelines, so we all kind of sign up for it and it goes into some oblivion.”
“Mr. Pitfield’s wife, Anna Gainey, was the president of the Liberal Party, and is also close to the Trudeau family. The Pitfields and the Trudeaus vacationed together at the Aga Khan’s resort in the Bahamas over the Christmas holidays in 2016. The Ethics Commissioner ruled a year later that Mr. Trudeau had violated conflict-of-interest rules by accepting the free holiday.”
“So, we have a situation where taxpayers dollars are being used to effectively subsidize the political digital operations of the Liberal Party of Canada,” he said. “These are taxpayer office budgets paying subscription fees for running the Liberal Party’s ‘black ops’ and their election software.”

I wonder if Barrack Obama is proud of his brainchild “Black Lives Matter” burning looting and murdering throughout the USA. When he was elected he spent 8 years riling up the blacks that they were oppresed and mistreated by whites. Most of those listening were youths age 10 to 14. Those same youths are now in their 20’s and are doing most of the damage in the country. Barrack Obama is very similar to Neville Chamberlain, the only difference is Barrack surrended to Iran and shipped billions of dollars in cash so they could continue on their quest for a nuclear bomb. History will record electing Obama was the biggest mistake Americans ever made, even bigger than the Vietnam war.

A Difficult Story
by Pete Cross
The “discovery” of the children’s bodies found on the property of the Tk’emlups te Secwopmc First Nation in Kamloops, B.C has captured the attention and the hearts of Canada.
This residential school operated from the 1890’s to the 1960’s and now in 2021 pronouncements are circling the globe claiming a “discovered” “mass grave”, where the bodies of two hundred and fifteen children have been interred. The clear and intended implication was that the bodies were hidden purposefully to avoid criminal responsibility. The discovery with the use of ground radar, was now held up as “proof” of the “genocide” of the Indigenous perpetrated by the government of Canada, the Catholic church, and the often not-mentioned Protestant religious groups.
It is an event or story which leaves even those some distance from the issue, affected, wordless, searching for things to say, or at least some sort of explanation. The death of any child, society’s innocents, layers us in emotion and draws up unstoppable grief. As some anonymous person said, “losing a child is like losing your breath… and never getting it back”. It is routinely described as unimaginable and easily overwhelming. It is a difficult story, but there is a problem— it is not totally accurate.
It seems that we have reached a state of affairs in this country where one must question almost all that is being written or reported in the main stream media. It is becoming painfully apparent that almost everyone has an agenda, whether it be political, or social, and, it is permanently warping our ability to trust. Context is almost always missing. Instead, we are being fed polar views delivered by the loudest insistent voices of there being only one truth. In this case, there is the immediate gush of fury, followed by outlandish statements and demands for retribution. There is a palpable governmental and corporate fear of being on the wrong side of any issue and the factual information is lost in the rush to judgement.
By putting the deaths of children in “grisly” and “shocking” terms, the headlines wrote themselves. All who may have been directly or indirectly involved are immediately identified and placed on the wrong side of the blame spectrum; accusing fingers pointing at the presumed guilty, the stain of that guilt never to be removed. History has shown us many times that this quick need to assign fault, the ignoring of rational alternative records, has not served us well, nevertheless we rarely learn.
To ask questions, to examine the record, of that which is being portrayed in this residential school story, risks insulting the mainstream. Alternate stories are guaranteed to offend almost all who only see black and white. Be forewarned, I am about to offend those of you who only think in straight lines. That rationale that it has been said therefore it is true. Reality is that almost always the facts are found in various shades of grey. Often, a single one-sided glance can be deceptive.
These deaths are difficult to process, but it was equally dismaying to see the commentary on the news; the reporting of the deaths as a “genocide” a “crime scene” of unequalled proportions all of which reverberated through the radio, television and print media. Children “stolen” from their homes and culture. The media in its various forms showing no compunction in knowingly feeding the fire of outrage. The oft repeated story portrayed intrepid searchers stumbling across the evidence of heinous crimes. An unmarked grave site, where children were buried in anonymity. Predictably, politicians of every stripe, climbed on board the indignation train, innuendo solely fed by untested claims of criminality.
Jagmeet Singh, the Federal leader of the NDP, dramatically, breathlessly, and tearfully, literally unable to speak. The Liberal Apology Party, having apologized several times before, to no avail, are now demanding apologies from the Vatican— a political sleight of hand designed to make you look the other way. The wokes scurrying around the country trying to hide the statues of Sir John A., the now damned originator of residential schools.
The purpose of this post is not to examine the policy of the residential schools. Was it an attempt by colonists to wipe out the Indigenous culture, or on the other hand was it an effort to assimilate and educate? The answer is likely somewhere in the middle. The current accepted view was that it was a misguided policy at the very best and it is likely equally clear that many of those involved in the early years were unconcerned at the time with preserving the “culture” of the First Nations. That is a never ending circular debate. The purpose of this post is to merely examine what the evidence actually shows up to this point in time.
The early reports of the findings by the use of “ground radar” gave one the impression of it being an unexpected “grisly discovery”. Grisly yes, but it was not a “discovery”.
The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in examining residential schools identified the names of, or information about, more than 4100 children who died of the 150,000 children (some estimates are lower at 3200 children). That represents a fatality rate of 2.7%, or if one accepts the lower rate, 2.13%.
In 1950, in Canada, the infant mortality rate was 2.92%. A higher death rate nationally than in the residential schools.
That aside, that children were dying in saddening numbers in the years of the residential schools is a fact. However, the biggest killer in 1900 was pneumonia and influenza and those two illnesses alone recorded 202 deaths per 100,000 people in Canada. There were other killer diseases lurking: smallpox, typhus, cholera, yellow fever, and tuberculosis. TB by itself was widespread in children after WWI. It was also deadlier, as it was slow to recognize, as it affected the glands, bones and joints rather than the lungs. Those children that contracted tuberculosis had a very low survival rate. So this is being reported as a “genocide” when to date, there has been no evidence of anyone being purposefully killed.
The second question was why were they then placed in unmarked graves on the property? Was this an attempt to hide wrong doing? There is a simpler but yet unpalatable answer. The cost of returning the bodies to the families was prohibitive during those austere times. That has been documented. Secondly, record keeping in those times both on the Reserves and by the Church were spotty at best and often totally absent. Many children had only their assigned names and a guess as to their true age.
So the children were by necessity, dictated by the times, buried on the property. The fact that the children were buried on the sites of the residential schools throughout the country— some in unmarked graves, others in marked graves, has been known for a very long time.
The Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement had already recognized that there were 139 residential schools across the country. (These are only those that received Federal support, there were others run solely by religious orders or provincial governments). An undertaking to return the bodies to the families would be, even to this day, a logistical nightmare.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 in releasing their report even included a section on missing children and burial grounds. They recommended 94 calls to action. One of those calls was for the the Federal government to work with churches, indigenous communities, and former students “to establish and maintain an online registry of residential school cemeteries, including where possible, plot maps showing the location of deceased residential school children”.
So two years ago, in the 2019 budget the Liberal Federal government allocated $32 million to implement the burial recommendations. There is still $27 million left. Now, Mr. Trudeau says the government is leaping into action and is going to distribute the money “on an urgent basis”. These graves were not uncovered and fully documented sooner for a simple reason—government and Indigenous bureaucratic inefficiency. We should also keep in mind that the Provincial government paid for the examination of the the Kamloops residential school site. This clearly was not a cover up.
There is the additional claim running rampant as part of the cover up theory— that the Catholic Church and the Federal government is withholding records from the schools.
In fact, the Federal government did indeed destroy documents related to the residential “school system between 1936 and 1944, including 200,000 Indian Affairs files”. Were the records destroyed as a result of a governmental cover-up, or were they destroyed as a matter of routine? Government records often run on a twenty-five or fifty year timeline. One could presume that death records of any kind should never be destroyed, but that is a separate issue.
In the early times of the residential schools, accurate record keeping was in short supply. Children were coming in from Indigenous communities where there were often no records of births or deaths, that was the custom. The schools upon receiving these children, were also seemingly sparse with their documentation when compared to standards of the 21st century. Also contrary to the current reporting, in fact, records at the Kamloops residential school have already been provided. It showed only fifty one deaths compared to the two hundred and fifteen, but is that the result of poor and absent record keeping, or was it a conspiracy to only reveal some of them?
Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the academic director at the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre at the University of British Columbia, stated that the records from the Kamloops residential school had not been provided to the Truth and Reconciliation group. However, she admits that the “churches handed over most residential school records, but in a few cases, the narratives were withheld, notably at Kamloops and St Annes (in Ontario)” So the Church records, like the children’s bodies were and are hiding in plain sight. The fact that no one has acted on them is probably the story that should be pursued.
The final question is whether or not this is a site where there is evidence of criminal activity. Is it as NDP MP Leah Gazan says, that all the residential schools are the sites of “active crime scenes”?
Well no, they are not crime scenes, because crime scenes need to have evidence or confirmation of wrong doing. Now some may argue that the stories told by the Indigenous “survivors”, is evidence enough of criminality. In recent years we seem to have taken the approach that allegations standing by themselves are sufficient evidence of wrong doing. As any homicide investigator will tell you, that is an untenable position.
Little is yet known as to the condition of the bodies. Ground radar (actually it works like sonar) shows very little, other than shapes in the ground. The exhumation of the bodies and subsequent pathology could possibly show evidence of assault, or lead to estimations of causes of death, but to pronounce it so, so early in the investigation is unprincipled.
Was there wrongdoing at the schools in the form of physical abuse or sexual deviance? Lets ask the current Armed Forces or the RCMP whether its possible that their organizations have been open to abuse and sexual assaults over the last number of years? Would we think the Catholic churches any different? It would seem impossible that the Catholic church, whose wrongdoings have been hauntingly exposed during the last several years around the world, would not be guilty of some criminal offences over such a lengthy span of time. However, the evidence in the burial site will not likely aid that level or type of investigation.
Even if one is to assume that this was in fact a crime scene, then it should be suggested that the RCMP do more than “offer its full support” to the First Nations who are now in attendance and overseeing the “crime scene”. A crime scene by the way, which will now be forever tainted in the event something is discovered amongst the bodies. The RCMP, if they believe that this is a possible crime scene, should be taking charge and control of the scene if that were the case. Instead, the Minister Bill Blair says the RCMP continues to go forward with its “work towards reconciliation”
Mr. Blair also apologizes for the RCMP having performed according to the law and carried out the “clear and unavoidable role”. He is late to that apology, probably confused, because Commissioner Zaccardelli apologized in 2004, and then Commissioner Paulson apologized in 2014.
Despite all these inconsistencies, the fallout damage in the reporting on the residential school is now done. The political gains that the Indigenous movement hoped to engender have been cemented. The world is now believing that Canadian history includes the genocide of their Indigenous population.
Now, of course, when pressed on the word “genocide” the spokespersons are falling back to the more acceptable argument of “cultural genocide. And, only yesterday an Indigenous spokesperson walked backed away from the “mass grave” description and now clarifies the record to say that they were actually “individual” un-marked grave sites.
The Perry Bellegarde’s of the Indigenous movement will now proffer up the discoveries as a lever to aid in the battle to get passed– the recently introduced Liberal legislation Bill C-15— the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous Peoples Act. Who would dare to question the bill, while expressing their overwhelming guilt in the treatment of the Indigenous. There is a valid argument that this future Act could give the Indigenous possible veto power over the economic development of Canada. One would have to be incredibly naive to think for a moment that this point has been lost on the Indigenous leadership in Canada.
In the next few months, monies will be provided for further examination of marked and un-marked grave sites throughout the country, a process which could take years and years of painstaking “investigation”. The Mounties will no doubt dutifully continue to “standby” and “provide support”. Commissioner Lucki will be the lead social worker.
The Indigenous can and will be encouraged by the media to continue to narrate the verbal claims of abuse and “incarceration” at the schools. The dominant reported narrative, like the one surrounding the Indigenous Missing Women’s task force, will remain by its very origin, clearly slanted. The masses will be satiated with apologies or flowered monuments. The truth will have to surface on another day and in another time.
Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Mark Miller will continue to ask the Pope for an apology as there preferred policy option. It is interesting to note that Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto of the Catholic Church, said that he felt Trudeau’s comments were “unhelpful” and “not based on real facts”. Amen to that.
That truth is that children were removed from often desperate situations and sent to sparse boarding schools during a time of disease and illness— ailments from which this country could not protect them; run by religious groups who brought with them there own inherent dysfunctions. This is a difficult story, but up to this point in time, only a partial story.
