Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a press conference in Saskatchewan on Monday alongside Premier Scott Moe, at Cowessess First Nation, where yet another lot of unmarked graves were discovered near a former residential school.
Many on social media, though, saw the prime minister’s actions as distasteful, after photos of Trudeau kneeling on the unmarked graves, holding a teddy bear, made their way to Twitter.
Canada is currently in the midst of an anti-Catholic arson spree that’s led to the destruction of at least seven churches.
Making matters worse, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau keeps downplaying the arson just like U.S. Democrats had downplayed the Black Lives Matter riots of last year.
Speaking on Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” late Wednesday, Rebel News founder Ezra Levant warned that what’s happening is reminiscent of Kristallnacht.
These were not hidden cemeteries as some have wrongfully thought or implied, they were part of the whole horrid system. The schools had cemeteries because the government refused to pay to transport the bodies of students who died back to their parents.
Photos sent to Global News show the gravestone of Canada’s first prime minister covered in red paint and a monument that once held a plaque the words: “For all the pain you cause, burn in hell.”
An educational website run by Canada’s national archives was deleted after management decided that the site was no longer necessary in a “diverse and multicultural” Canada.
The gruesome discovery of nearly 1,000 unmarked graves at the sites of former boarding schools for indigenous children in Canada has triggered a slew of church burnings across the country, and the flames may have been fanned by the comments of a popular radio host.
As America celebrates the 245th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence this July 4, the legacy of the Declaration is under attack like perhaps never before. Much of the American left has adopted the view—one even espoused by Joe Biden’s Ambassador to the United Nations—that the Declaration is a “white supremacist” document. This is among the central notions of what has become known as Critical Race Theory. Yet this idea, so crucial to the thinking of the modern left, is not only not true, but the clear historical record shows that the exact opposite is true. The Declaration of Independence did not forever enshrine slavery and racism into the soul of America—it set slavery on the path to inevitable global extinction.
If there is any fault in the Kamloops school affair, it lies with federal Indian Affairs which did not provide adequate funding for the residential schools, the children, and the cemeteries.
World-renowned Cree playwright Tomson Highway testified to having had good experiences at one such school.
Probably going to get a social media ban for this.
Recently, some cities in British Columbia have cancelled Canada Day celebrations, such as Penticton and Victoria BC. Mayor of Penticton John Vassilaki said that when he heard about the discovery of remains in Kamloops of 215 children, he “thought it was appropriate to hold back and wait to see what the federal government was going to announce.”
They’re called the Liberal party, the very demographic O’Toole has been courting.

Teachers should oppose the toppling of the statue commemorating the founder of public education in Ontario.
Justus Angel and Mistress L. Horry were wealthy landowners in South Carolina’s Colleton District in the 1830s, in what is now Charleston County. The couple owned 84 slaves each for a total of 168, at a time when most of their peers owned a handful. Their slaves worked their plantation and made them rich. Angel and Horry also traded slaves for profit, showing no regard for dissolving slave families. They were no kinder or crueler to their slaves than anyone else. They were considered “slave magnates” because of the number of slaves they owned. They were referred to as the “economic elite.” They were also black.
The memory of John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, is not thriving these days in the country he brought into being. In 2018, his image was removed from the Canadian $10 bill, which it had decorated since 1971. His name has been quietly scrubbed from the Ottawa airport named in his honor in 1993. In August 2020, vandals toppled statues of Macdonald in Montreal and in Kingston, Ontario. (The city of Kingston legally removed that statue on June 18—a special blow to Macdonald’s memory in the city he represented in Parliament throughout most of his career.) This summer, the province of Prince Edward Island removed a modern statue of Macdonald from its capital, Charlottetown. Even the small town of Picton, Ontario, where Macdonald argued his first law cases, will soon remove a statue erected with donations from local residents, my wife’s family among them. Macdonald’s name has been erased from university and school buildings, and even book prizes.
Episode 1 is an 1878 New York Times piece that proclaimed “Mr. Edison has invented too many things” a year before he perfected the lightbulb. The whole thing is incredibly amusing.
Students are being taught a fraudulent version of American history that is transforming their understanding of the past.
