The Mendacity of Jesse Brown, Lies about ‘Year of the Graves’, and Other Misadventures from the Dark Side of the Looking Glass
“… There are two important things to keep in mind here.
The first thing is Year of the Graves wasn’t even about the legacy of Canada’s Indian Residential Schools – about which I harbour no particularly heterodox views. It certainly wasn’t an exercise in “Residential Schools Denialism,” that sinister construction a certain creepy and clownish professor persists in claiming about Year of the Graves.
I’m not going to be nice about this anymore. Anyone who tells you that’s what’s going on in Year of the Graves is – tenured university post or not – a fool, a liar, someone who simply lacks the gene for embarrassment, or one of those well-meaning types who are susceptible to the faddish excesses of the Words Are Violence community.”
Barn burner of a story.
