Increasingly, when it comes to Canadian indigenous grievances and adversities, truth-telling is being redefined as denialism, a term chosen because of its genocide denial allusions.
This is my take on Joseph Quesnel’s July 26th Western Standard opinion piece titled, “Those on the right shouldn’t call residential school grave issue a ‘hoax.’” It is an essay driven by hurt indigenous feelings ultimately rooted in myths and other fanciful stories transmitted by “knowledge keepers,” rather than by hard evidence and rational contemplation grounded in Western science.
