FLANAGAN: Learning the truth about ‘children’s graves’ and residential schools is more important than ever

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.”

‘Journalism’ Is Totally Broken

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.

Feds lock away records tied to Kamloops residential school grave claims

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 takes hard stance against reconciliation

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.

Ottawa briefing note compares Chinese concentration camps to Canada’s residential schools

Residential Schools Kenora

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.

McCRAE: The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation is lying to us

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew recently announced a $20 million dollar grant to the University of Manitoba for the construction of a new National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at the University of Manitoba. In 2022, the federal government committed $60 million for the same project.

The University’s National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation is considered a key component of reconciliation in Canada, partly because, among other functions, the NCTR staff maintain a Memorial Register of student deaths at Indian residential schools.

Toronto Star uses ‘mass graves’ conspiracy to ‘explain’ DEI increases

When the Toronto Star recently linked the rise of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to the “discovery of unmarked graves at residential schools,” it echoed a familiar trope of moral reckoning born from tragedy.

The paper conspiratorially theorized that “a push for more inclusive policies in many countries was sparked by the 2020 death of George Floyd … and in Canada by the discovery of unmarked graves at residential schools.”

GIESBRECHT: No digging necessary at Kamloops Residential School

Another National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR) has come and gone. This is the fifth since the shocking Kamloops claim was made on May 27, 2021. The orange shirts worn by those who believe in the truth of the claim pay tribute to the 215 indigenous students at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School (KIRS) they believe died under sinister circumstances, and were buried by priests to hide their crime with the forced help of children — as young as six. That’s the Kamloops claim.

WTF? Criminalizing residential school denialism is the only way forward …

Only 14 of the 94 Calls to Action have been implemented. Criminalizing residential school denialism is the only way forward

… The key roadblock to true reconciliation however, is Residential School Denialism. In 2023, despite complete rejection by the publishing industry, a book titled “Grave Error,” a vitriolic and hateful diatribe denying the truth about residential schools and the intergenerational harms they caused, was self-published by a gaggle of hard-core denialists, determine to shore up the myth that residential schools were well-intentioned, abuses suffered there exaggerated or fabricated and that intergenerational harms do not exist. It is deeply disturbing that in this day and age, and in the face of indisputable evidence in the form of government documentation, this book rose to the level of a bestseller.

Confronting denialists is critically important. It is also exhausting and largely a waste of time. Taking a page out of the MAGA playbook the denialists, though with other words, posit the notion of “alternative facts” or “fake news.”


The Star. Batshit Crazy doesn’t begin to describe it.

Truth and Reconciliation Day: A national farce masquerading as mourning

Justin Trudeau started and anti-Christian pogrom based on false claims of Aboriginal mass graves at Residential schools. Over 100 churches have been burned down or vandalized. No graves have been found.

Taxpayer money squandered on ‘unmarked graves,’ while hospitals crumble and kids go without. Time to bury this hoax for good.

Here we go again, another “National Day for Truth and Reconciliation” is upon us. The federal government shuts down for the day. Flags are at half-mast. Across the country, Canadians are supposed to pause, reflect, and feel guilty for a manufactured fake holiday.

But pause we must, not to bow before this altar of invented outrage, but to ask when does this madness end?
