Chief Jason Louie of the Lower Kootenay Band called the discovery "deeply personal" since he had relatives attend the school.
"Let's call this for what it is," Louie told CBC radio in an interview. "It's a mass murder of Indigenous people."
"The Nazis were held accountable for their war crimes. I see no difference in locating the priests and nuns and the brothers who are responsible for this mass murder to be held accountable for their part in this attempt of genocide of an Indigenous people."
(Some) nazi officials were held accountable, not really every foot soldier. But nobody is calling out for the beheading of canadian politicians :soviet-huff:
You don't like the genocidal pedo church??? Not very inclusive of you.
The residential school program is literally what the West claims China is doing in Xinjiang except they you know actually wrre killing thousands of children
I think the liberal retort is...
-
we stopped (once the native population was decimated enough that they weren't a threat to national security) so we should be hailed for that.
-
there weren't that many native people here to begin with so we didn't kill NEARLY as many people as China totally is now.
-
Global pact among world leaders to stop genocide in Canada happening when?
But Canada isn't like the USA, they're polite and have free healthcare!
Since /r/onguardforthee went private, I checked out /r/canada. And it's FULL of exactly that post. I saw literally nothing on the front page, and just one direct reference on the top of this week.
/r/onguardforthee
That's a weird way of spelling /r/LPC, but all right.
Hey now, a lot of them want the NDP! They're gonna VOTE change into their country any day now!
I like to follow various national subreddits to get a feel for what's going on around the world. It's obviously filtered through that sub's population's biases, but whatever I'm reading is likely more authentic than USA - localized Google News. And if I have to sift through some bias, I'll take some succdems over the hooting swine of /r/canada any day.
Hey now, a lot of them want the NDP!

The chief medical officer of the Department of Indian Affairs reported in 1907 a 40-60% mortality rate in these schools at that time. Source: Dr. Bryce Report 1907, Medical Inspector, Department of Indian Affairs
The vast majority of these deaths were from tuberculosis which just had free reign in these facilities with few attempts to do anything about it. They didn't maintain those rates for the duration of the system but it's sickening it even got anywhere close to that.
I don't know how far along they are in their search by now but last time I heard they had searched 3% of the schools and were already at a thousand dead.
This will go on for a while.
I imagine when they start on the Anglican schools they'll find much the same as well.
Regardless, the Catholic Church in Rome should take the same position Antonio de Montesinos did upon arriving in the West Indes. Excommunicate every member of the Church, Lay or Clerical, who does not openly condemn and work to resolve these acts.
Or to quote his sermon “Ego sum vox clamantis in deserto” ("I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness")
-All of you are in mortal sin; in it you live and in it you die.
-In the state you are, you cannot be saved, as your behavior is equal to a lack of faith in Jesus Christ, and you have no desire for it
-If you continue mistreating the Indians, know for sure that the sins you confess will not receive our absolution
He also refused to take confessions from slaveowners, saying that their sins were so grave that confession wasn't enough to truly repent and they'd have to free their slaves if they wanted forgiveness. Pretty based Catholic.
And here we are today, where fucking Biden is being denied confession for abortion of all things (though Francis seems to be pretty pissed over this). Like, that is where you fucking draw the line? He's crossed the moral event horizon 6 times before age 30 and this is the sin that does it?
Burn the Anglospere Church down, half of it is heretical, all of it is so soaked in chuddery it needs a full purge and to be reconstructed from the ground up
