Canadian priest claims abuse of indigenous children is ‘fake news’

NDP MPs Mumilaaq Qaqqaq and Charlie Angus organized the “March for Truth and Justice” on Parliament Hill and in downtown Ottawa.
In a post on Instagram, Qaqqaq, the MP for Nunvaut, said the march will “demand an independent investigation into Canada’s crimes against Indigenous Peoples.

US media shamefully justified a string of Canadian church burnings
One day this month in Canada, 10 Catholic churches were vandalized in a single city, Calgary. In the last month, arsonists and vandals have attacked dozens of Canadian churches, burning some entirely to the ground.
America has 70.5 million Catholics; Canada, with just over a 10th of the population, has close to 13 million. So this is a big story. Yet the US media aren’t interested in reporting our northern neighbor’s plague of church burnings — except to suggest it’s understandable.

“Queen Victoria presided during some of the most brutal years of colonial history — when land was stolen the most, when things like the Indian Act were put into place.”
“The response was prompted by anger and frustration, as more people confront the grim truths of Canada’s residential school system and the country’s colonial legacy.”
So goes what is today a staple of society resulting from the discovery of deceased Indigenous children at former residential schools. Not that this is a post-modern social issue. Our society has been struggling with the treatment of Aboriginal Canadians for at least a century.
