Sounds like the Protestant run school my old man attended. Discipline was universal when it came to school back in the day.
No no no... everything is the Catholics fault.

Good thing those numbers don't include all the deaths from diseases like pox, TB, polio, measles, a cold, dysentery, ecoli, giardia or an infection from a skinned knee or things would look even worse.
You be hard pressed to find a white family that didn't lose a child during that era.
How much? $34,000 in ar$e money which was already paid out.
No no no... everything is the Catholics fault.
Not entirely true. Institutionall, there were 5 parties involved:
The Government of Canada and the Catholic, Anglican, Presbiterian, and United Churches.
No fu cking shyte exlax. :roll:
I was just correcting your previous comment. I know you meant it sarcastically, but some on the forum who are not aware might have not read the intended sarcasm.
yes...love that's what it was all about....and we became super adept at hearing when they were arriving...they were so cat-paw silent walking on their thick padded shoes.... except the click, click, click of the swaying beads they wore with jesus hanging from a cross at the end of it all as they made their way down the hall toward you. Stark terror. Fukers.But didn't you just love those sadistic penguins?
Absolutely... it was a harder, harsher, meaner world. In a way that's what made some days wonderful. Kids stuck together because adults were the enemy. Not always but there was a feeling often of them versus us.Sounds like the Protestant run school my old man attended. Discipline was universal when it came to school back in the day.
They were up to their necks in blood so it wasn't just the RCC. A sinilar event that is also buried as deeply as possible and the Clergy is not all that involved so you can see why there is a reluctance on the part of the Govt to go after the Priests who would then turn into witnesses against the Govt's part in the abuses.Sounds like the Protestant run school my old man attended.

We all know that many bad things happened in the residential schools. Actually it was a form of genocide. But all this happened before most of us were old enough to even know about it much less have any say in it. It is time to move on as this commission is becoming nothing more than a job creation project for a bunch of bureaucrats. The money could be better spent on education in remote villages.
The best way to store history in the digital age is in digital form As such the First Nations of the Americas and northern Russia and China could use game-play to record the way things were without having to rewrite what Ottawa is storing up as their version of history. With the plots coming from tales only the elderly know it would be a hands on by the ones whose history it is and they get all the profits if it is something that captures the interest of the public that has extra money.The strategy of the one worlders has always been to besmirch and remind the nations with and of their historical genocidal histories.
A terrible event to be sure and one that can/should be dealt with in terms of punishing the responsible parties in addition to compensating the victims.
That said, your original post that referenced this strongly alluded to all the attendees of the residential school program rather than a specific group in Mb.
... And this is related to my primary point; no one is arguing that abuses didn't happen, but it appears that the extremes are extrapolated to the entire population and then considered as fact.
