A search for alleged unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site could take decades before yielding answers, the chief of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation told a Senate committee, while acknowledging no remains have yet been recovered nearly five years after the initial claim.
I am sick of these scammers.
Calgarians brought 215 pairs of children’s shoes to the steps of Calgary’s municipal building after First Nation Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc announced, in May 2021, ground-penetrating radar had detected 215 graves on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in Kamloops, BC.
The radar survey was conducted by anthropologist Sarah Beaulieu, who said at the time ground penetrating radar detects soil disturbances, not bodies.
The federal Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations has redacted nearly all details from internal reports describing how a B.C. First Nation spent millions in taxpayer funding intended to locate alleged graves of children at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
Blacklock’s Reporter says documents released under the Access to Information Act show the department labelled the reports “confidential,” concealing details about work undertaken by the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation after Ottawa provided $12.1 million to support searches tied to claims that 215 children were buried on the site.
A federal hate crimes bill would extend criminal penalties to anyone accused of obstructing indigenous sacred sites — including areas identified as unmarked graves — according to an internal Department of Justice memo that was not highlighted when the legislation was introduced.
This is called covering up a crime scene.

A press release from the office of the Chief of the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation in Kamloops, B.C., has stated that the most recent investigation at the Kamloops Residential School site shows “signatures that resemble burials” but no confirmed graves.
The investigation, which the B.C. government pledged $12 million to in 2021, has yet to produce any concrete evidence of burials or gravesites.

The Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc investigation at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School has ruled out some areas on the grounds as areas where potential unmarked graves may be, while data from multiple surveys has identified other areas that “should now be the primary focus” of the search.
It’s been almost five years since the First Nation shared that preliminary findings from a ground-penetrating radar survey found some 200 potential unmarked graves on the grounds of the former residential school.
Nothing but theft.
In his widely-praised Davos speech, Mark Carney paid homage to a renowned 1978 essay by Czech dissident Václav Havel, “The Power of the Powerless.” In it, Havel tells the parable of a greengrocer who refuses to place a “Workers of the World unite!” poster in his window, symbolizing his personal dissent from a totalitarian regime’s extortion of rote public mantras nobody believes as a tool for mind control.
In 2023, we published Grave Error, a book of essays that candidly discusses the “unmarked-graves” social panic that swept Canada four and a half years ago. In May 2021, it was announced that ground-penetrating radar (GPR) had identified the formerly unknown resting places of 215 Indigenous children who’d attended the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. The announcement sent shock waves through Canadian society, and led to months of self-lacerating commentary about our country’s colonial sins. Journalists and politicians alike acted as though these 215 victims—children who’d presumably been dispatched by murderous Residential School staff—had been identified and unearthed. It was only once this initial period of national hysteria ended that observers noted that, outside of the GPR reports, there existed no proof of graves, bodies, or human remains. And since GPR technology cannot detect bodies, but only soil dislocations that may equally indicate tree roots, drainage ditches, rocks, or other artefacts that have nothing to do with graves, the claim that these GPR-identified soil anomalies corresponded to graves remained unproven.
When the book Grave Error was published by True North in late 2023, it became an instant bestseller. People wanted to read the book because it contained well-documented information not readily available elsewhere concerning the history of Canada’s Indian Residential Schools (IRS) and the facts surrounding recent claims about “unmarked graves.”

As we gnash our teeth about the corruption of the 60 Minutes “journalists” who are whining that they can’t spread propaganda without scrutiny anymore, let’s recall that the problem is not limited to a few bad apples.
Pretty much the entire barrel is rotten. If you pick through the apples in there, you will find a few that are still edible or even good; for the most part, the lot of them should just be thrown out.
One of the biggest stories of the past few years in our neighbor to the north is the fake scandal of the state-sponsored and church-run residential schools for the native population.
Ottawa has sealed all progress reports connected to the federally funded search for the alleged graves of 215 children at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, citing confidentiality to block public access to documents detailing how the money was used and what was actually found.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations refused an Access to Information request for the records, saying the reports submitted by the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation were protected under the Access to Information Act as confidential third-party information.

BC’s newest political party, OneBC, came into the spotlight this week after their leader tried to host a public, unsanctioned event at UVic.
The public speaking event focused on denying the existence of 215+ unmarked graves at the Kamloops Residential School, and refuting the fact that what was done to Indigenous Peoples in Canada qualifies as a form of genocide.

OneBC is doing splendid work.
A Métis delegation stormed out of the BC legislature after controversial OneBC party leader Dallas Brodie questioned the narrative surrounding the Kamloops Indian Residential School (IRS). Brodie’s statement, while technically accurate, was deemed disrespectful, even “triggering,” by the delegation.

One question that must be asked of NDP leadership aspirants: how do you respond to members and supporters who are bent on curbing freedom of speech in order to advance their social justice causes?
A federal briefing note shows cabinet officials privately told the Chinese Communist regime not to “repeat Canada’s past mistakes,” directly comparing Beijing’s mass detention of Uyghurs to the Indian Residential School system.
The May 6, 2024 document, titled Assistance To China and prepared for the minister of international development, reveals that Canadian diplomats drew parallels between China’s forced labour programs and residential schools, despite international findings that Beijing’s actions amount to genocide.
