Yes he was the sainted PET ,being complicate in maintaining the status quo with respect to Residential Schools despite reports of abuse and other structural problems with the system , I wonder when calls to tear down his monuments will be heard

Canada is getting a new holiday to honour residential school survivors | News
Canada is getting a new national holiday to commemorate the legacy of the residential school system and honour its survivors.
Eh!! It's a paid stat Holiday, so..
Were all residential schools run by the Catholic Church ? Of course it happened at all the schools , children died and were buried . They didn’t have mortuaries on the trap line .
Certainly , but we only focus on the negative , without those schools or something like it , the natives would still be speaking five different languages and paddling dugout canoes .
Even when I was a kid the understanding that being a choir boy in the Catholic Church usually meant more than singing was prevalent. They have done little to address it. When there were accusations the priests were shuffled. I personally think it is the vow of chastity which kind of warps the mind after a while but that is just my opinion. I would not expect their residential schools to be any different.
Although this was the wrong thing to do, but many of the kids benefitted from this education and went on to become successful citizens. You never here of the good things that came out of the res schools
I personally think it was a program designed with the best of intentions which went horribly wrong in the implementation.
The intentions were good, taking kids away from there parents and forcing them into res schools was just plain dumb. How can you tell this idea came from the east??
At the time, I can see how those implementing thought it was a good thing. If somebody were doing it today, not so much.
Yes but how many priests molested you ? The rumours weren’t unfounded , however they weren’t everywhere always .
Yes but it taught those children the English language allowing them to function in the modern world . In not much more than 100 years we have lifted our natives into the modern age . And other than a few ugly exceptions they are mostly doing just fine .
