Capital Letters are Now Racist … in Calgary No Less!

A Change Based On Lies

The CBC and the rest of the “woke” media are excited that Ryerson University will change its name. The narrative is that Ryerson committed genocide in residential schools. Ryerson is known as the founder of public education in Ontario. He lived and was adopted by an Indian tribe, and was invited by chiefs to develop agriculture programs so Indians could feed themselves. He was a believer in providing education to the tribes so they could function in a modern society. Residential schools came after his death, and scholars have stated that he would have been shocked at the abuses that occurred. But hey, it doesn’t fit the narrative that all things colonial are racist. Turtle Island University??

Everything Is Racist On Turtle Island!

Time for your kids to seek jobs in the trades. Blackie’s CBC is excited that history courses at Canadian universities are being rewritten to show that our European ancestors were racist, genocidal, settlers. And there is more. Apparently road projects are racist. Thunder Bay is in trouble for having a racist cowboy on a horse or something to celebrate a new roundabout. Roundabouts are racist.

Today in Church Bashing

So much journalizing.

Millions meant for residential school survivors spent on Catholic Church lawyers, administration: documents

The Roman Catholic Church spent millions of dollars that were supposed to go to residential school survivors on lawyers, administration, a private fundraising company and unapproved loans, according to documents obtained by CBC News.

The documents include a host of other revelations. They appear to contradict the Catholic Church’s public claims about money paid to survivors.

Wow! They must have a great source to back this all up.

A source directly involved in the case verified their authenticity. CBC News is not naming the source 

Meanwhile in nothing to see here land.

It’s not Racist

When Liberals do it. 

Indigenous employees were regularly sidelined by a “toxic” working environment in the office of Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett but their complaints fell on deaf ears, several former staffers have told CBC News.

CBC News spoke with more than half-a-dozen Indigenous and non-Indigenous former staffers who worked in Bennett’s office at various points between 2016 and 2020.

 

1971 Leader Post: “Chiefs Request (Marieval) School Be Kept”

By Ruth Shaw, Staff Reporter

YORKTON (Staff) – A resolution asking that the Marieval Residental School be kept open as long as the Indian people want it, was passed by the chiefs and counsellors of eight Indian bands at a regional meeting held Thursday.

The meeting was held in the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, with Joe Whitehawk of Yorkton, district
supervisor, as chairman.

Various spokesmen said the pupils are generally children from broken homes, orphans or are from inadequate homes. There is a great need for the school and the need is increasing, rather than diminishing. Many of the children have no other place to stay, as many have only grandparents, who through lack of space, health or age are unable to look after them.

The alternative is foster homes, which will cost just as much money. Children in the residential school get a measure of correction, discipline and religious training and this should be taken into consideration, when plans are under study for the phasing out of the school, the spokesman said.

While residential schools are not the best, they meet the most needs of the children. Children in foster homes are deprived of correction, discipline and religious training. The older members were disciplined and given religious training and “we must get back to these old traditions,” the spokesman said. The spokesman, who is a community development officer, said the Marievale Residential School must be expanded one step further and a junior high school established.

Another spokesman said the Indian people passed a resolution asking that the school remain open and it should not be up to the department to say whether the school should be closed.

Another said that if the request is made it should remain open and “the people should not be bribed to close the place.”

Chief Antoine Cote of the Cote reserve said the people on his reserve are not satisfied with the integration of Indian students at Kamsack.

“They claim there is no discrimination, but there is and we realize there is. One of the reasons of phasing out the student residential schools is so our children can be sent to so called integrated schools,” he said.

Smoke Them If You Got Them

Seems to be a rallying cry we’re hearing from a certain segment of the ignorant elite these day’s.  

While some cheer on the destruction of churches, First Nations pick up the pieces
After a failed arson attack on an on-reserve Anglican church, Gitwangak First Nation said the church had no connection to residential schools. Vandals returned to burn it down anyway.

They’re in a hurry to rewrite history so they don’t have to bother learning any of it.

As pyres have been made of sturdy little churches built by First Nations, the sneering of all those white ‘allies’ is the thing to notice
