“Residential School Mass Grave Mania”

There has been a fourth church fire in Alberta this month suspected of being caused by arson, this time destroying the Beiseker Seventh Day Adventist Church, according to the RCMP.

On Dec. 20, the Airdrie Integrated Rural RCMP received a report of a fire at the church near the village of Beiseker, which is located about 50 kilometres northeast of Calgary. Fire crews from the Rockyford Fire Department responded to the incident after receiving a call at 6 a.m., but by the time they arrived, the church was fully engulfed in flames, RCMP said in a release.

The new book Grave Error: How the Media Misled Us (and the Truth about Residential Schools) constitutes a response to the moral panic unleashed in Canada on May 27, 2021, when the Chief of the Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc (aka, the Kamloops Indian Band) announced that ground-penetrating radar (GPR) had located the remains of 215 “missing children” in an apple orchard on the grounds of the local residential school.

Barrhead RCMP and Barrhead Fire Services are investigating two arson fires that have severely damaged two of the town’s churches on Thursday night.

At approximately 7:52 p.m. police responded to a structural fire at The Glenreagh Church, located on Range Road 40 in Barrhead. At 9 p.m. police responded to a second structure fire at The United Church, located on Range Road 54 in Barrhead, according to a Friday morning news release.

WAUZHUSHK ONIGUM NATION – A First Nation in northwestern Ontario says it has found 22 areas where human remains may be buried at the site of a former residential school.

The Wauzhushk Onigum Nation, near Kenora, Ont., was “alerted” to the areas at the site of the former St. Mary’s Residential School(opens in a new tab) in mid-August after using a cadaver dog to conduct ground searches in and around the old school grounds.

Opened in 1897 at Rat Portage in northwestern Ontario this school was first known as the Rat Portage Boarding School, then the Kenora Boarding School and then St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic School. From 1938 it was known as St. Mary’s School. Early in its history, the local band negotiated an agreement that students would not be converted to Catholicism against their parent’s will.

Nearly half of Canadians have no plans to mark National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

A new survey found that 48 per cent of Canadians say they won’t be taking any specific action to recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This is according to Leger, a data analytics company that surveyed more than 1,600 Canadians to better understand their awareness of Indigenous communities.

The data found that 24 per cent of Canadians think they are much more aware of Indigenous history in Canada than they were four to five years ago.

CARCROSS, YUKON – Yukon First Nation elder Sandra Johnson says the discovery of 15 potential graves near the site of a former residential school has “uncovered long-buried wounds.”

Johnson spoke Tuesday at the release of an investigation into unmarked graves and the deaths of children who attended the former Chooutla Residential School in Carcross, south of Whitehorse.

The discourse on “mass graves” linked to the Indian Residential School system in Canada has painted a sombre chapter in our history. But as recent excavations suggest, these “mass graves” do not exist, though there are most certainly residential school cemeteries that have been overgrown or otherwise lost to time.

Canada stands at a crossroads, torn between its historical sins and the inability to discuss what actually happened in residential schools, because the truth has been buried under the false narrative of “mass graves.”

When our national media don’t like where a narrative is going — as in anyone assuming Joe Biden is an eager participant in Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling — they repeat a mantra about “no evidence.” Biden’s critics have “no evidence” of a Joe-Hunter corruption connection.

But when they like a narrative — like arrogant white imperialist Catholics in Canada were so hostile to “indigenous peoples” that they committed a genocide — somehow, no evidence is required. The wilder, the better. In 2021, a Native Canadian tribe claimed that “ground-penetrating radar” found 215 bodies near a residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia. Within a week, Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau ordered flags across Canada to be flown at half-staff for all the allegedly murdered children

Canadian public servants are set to attend a course to combat residential school “denialism” despite a recent excavation at an alleged “unmarked graves” site finding no human remains.

On September 29, the Canadian government is offering a session entitled “Addressing Residential School Denialism and Embodying Reconciliation” for all public servants in the country.
