It is pretty crazy how so many Canadians are learning about the undocumented deaths at residential schools this week despite it being a big huge section of the TRC.

In other words, every Prime Minister aside from Martin, Harper, and JT. Not a call I've heard from those far more knowledgeable about TRC than I; I'm thinking that might be a little overboard.

Well, at least that's one good thing that will come out of this horrifying discovery. It's one thing to try to explain what happened through history books and videos; it's quite another to have something like this at the front of the news.

I am acquainted with a number of people that had family members go through residential schools, and even a couple that had to go themselves - I can't even imagine what this being in the news will mean to them in terms of stirring up memories, so I certainly hope that it helps open a few people's eyes.

Edit to add - just saw this on FB, posted by a friend:

Sadly I was not surprised nor shocked by this. Not even a little bit. I think Nation wide there are many more stories like this all buried by the passing of time and with the help of the Catholic Church given a gov't shovel.

Yeah and it should be done to both liberals and conservative PM's. I still remember looking this up a year or two ago and shocked how recent this is.

Reality is all these kids shoes should be put on the steps of catholic churches as well.
I get all the BLM movements but no culture has experienced more racism and broken promises from our federal governments than than the indigenous people.
It amazes me what the catholic church keeps getting a pass on

Yet right now our liberal government is fighting claims from residential school survivors

Lozen can't help taking an "I hate Liberals/Trudeau even though I voted once for them" angle, because nearly every post of his embodies that obsession, but you are more flexible to stories of the moment with your special all-consuming take on things, so stick to fun topics like UFOs and such and everyone will be happy.

If you read the comment its by washoe

Should someone be outraged with Trudeaus actions on Indigenous affairs?
Of course he promised to implement all the findings of the truth and rec findings but has not. Promised clean drinking water and has not fully delivered. As the kink says fighting hard claims from residential schools.

But lets be honest here one thing the Liberals have in common is lots of promises to Indigenous and veterans and delivering very little.

Yes I loath JT but back it up with reasons. I am not sure I even commented on UFO's

Trying sticking to facts

So basically you hate Trudeau and the Liberals? Pretty sure you did not need to spell that out at this point. Just tell your family about it and pretend to not see their tired stares to the distance as you go on and on about it.

The other guy has generally good intentions but he is not someone I would ever stake to play on "Jeopardy". While his intentions are always on the good side, he is easily distracted by shiny baubles on topics of the day. When the topic is UFOs - cool, who cares, go nuts - have fun. When it is what should be a genuine source of nationwide shame (of which he is not even likely a citizen) then even his nice but clumsy dumb intentions are not so much fun.

Canada launches vaccine injury compensation program

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/corona...gram-1.5451579

Too busy virtue signaling to Americans

Though reading the article not sure what the compensation will be. This is a long awaited program.

I dont know much about Canadas history and was surprised by this. Although I actually watched some canadian tv shows that showed inequalities with indigenous people. Didnt know it was that bad, and is went on till recently.

Yeah I agree, its all colonialism, Hawaiian people get mistreated too still.

I said it because I think this should be restituted. If the state kidnapped some other children, imagine what would happen. They would sue the crap out of the state. So Justin needs to pay up or whoever was responsible. Justin just saying, ´oops sorry´ doesnt cut it for me.

You might want to do a little more reading before wading too deep into this subject. Or just let it go.

Not that your outrage is misplaced, or that you're necessarily wrong about this, but this isn't as simple as we just found 215 remains and now money must be paid - this process has already been going on for 14 years.

More than $3B paid to 28,000 victims of residential school abuse: report

That doesn't mean the process is over, or that more money may not still be paid; just letting you know that there's much more to this than you (or I) are probably aware of.

So 3 billion was paid but only 2 billion to claimants and not one penny from the Catholic Church

Many of these graves can never be found as there sits parkades and in some cases apartments on the ground.

Vatican has refused to release residential school records, and the cdn gov destroyed 15 tons of documents

https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada...iles-1.5455783

Pope Benedict apologized and then retired imo. Maybe that's the reason for his early retirement. The catholic church needs to be pressured, or they won't do anything. They refuse to issue an apology.

Words of a survivor:

Well the Vatican has refused documents on sex abuse by priests so this is no surprise at all. The government destroying documents back than is no surprise at all.

I applaud Justin for speaking out as a catholic
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canad...?ocid=msedgdhp

But if you have tools use them now. Imagine if every catholic in Canada stopped putting cash in the collection plate I am sure an apology would be quick.

If your indigenous leaders how you can believe anything Justin Trudeau says to you is beyond me. He never implemented the recommendations from the truth & reconciliation report and still a long ways from clean drinking water.
Bottom line if your Indigenous or a veteran you get lots of promises and no action from both parties

Of course the Conservatives will not bash JT as they have never done much either.

Why not partner with all the academic institutions with Archeology departments in unearthing all the graves you can. Pay the students and they get field training

Terrible job market, insane housing markets, super high cost of living, high taxes. Not surprising intelligent people are leaving for greener pastures to the south.

They can also get a haircut a little while before you. Surprised you did not bring that up in your latest amusing hot take of a topic.

All the best.

Lol !
Look out when they realized they have huge cost for health care and education for their kids .
They will rush back in , just wait

Insane housing prices ?
Look in the US , it’s coming hard too .

« Inventory in many regions has hit record lows. Days on market are now measured in hours. Home prices are up 15.8% on average year-over-year across the country according to a recent National Association of Realtors’ report (and in some places like Miami are already officially in super-boom mode). And in markets like Nashville, Sacramento, and Boise contractual absurdities like waiving all contingencies are now standard conditions as panicked buyers over-reach to get in on the action before the current boom decelerates. »

The grass is always greener at the neighbours.

People moving to the States are in general getting insurance through their employers. Been reading the same article for twenty years now, but it’ll be interesting to see what the ridiculous real estate market and the increase in taxes will do.

So, given that I'm sure you consider yourself intelligent...when are you going?

Pope Francis was brought in to clean up the Vatican's image, and he's been fairly successful at doing that, despite doing absolutely nothing substantive to rectify its institutional crimes against humanity. The message is that those were the works of bad apples of the past, the friends of Maciel or whoever, and that now we take those things seriously. But hell no you can't see inside and get off our property.

Insane house prices are only going to get worse. I have 4 builds going on this year and the costs are ridiculous
Lumber 3x normal
Pretty much everything else up by 10-15% and deliveries are just brutal

exactly!
Is there something less reliable than a job in the US ?
what happens when u lose it ?
that is not a good risk/reward for me .
