I've been watching this for the last few days, and i find it very very disturbing and it leaves nothing more than questions, were they found in a mass graves or buried individually in marked graves or unmarked... How did each one of those children die ? and Who is reasonable the church , government who ? and if there was any wrong doing are we going to hunt them down and bring them to justice . My entire life i was left to believe nothing like this could happen in Canada, i mean i heard rumors, all my time in the army spent in the worlds shit holes, i always thought we as Canadians were better people than those that did evil shit to each other in conflicts, we had better morals and values, i am starting to think not...Canada may be no better than they are... 215 children is a little hard to explain, and i'm guessing this is only the beginning... i hope that this is fully investigated, and if any wrong doing is found, then they be brought to justice, and their names recorded for history to be forever judged... I hope that the survivors get a huge payout, along with the families that lost a child... if we can give 10 million to a terrorist, what do we give an innocent child...

you only seem to be concerned when Republicans propose changing the election rules and perfectly fine with Democrats proposing to change the rules why is that? where was your outcry before the 2020 election when the Democrats were changing the rules so close to the election?

"Trudeau offers help but no details." I'm sure the government already knows where these bodies are buried, and how many. They have known it probably for decades. Que the crocodile tears from the most entitled, privileged all- white boy who ever became Prime Minister.

About 60% of these residential schools were run by the Catholic Church. The remaining 40% were run by a couple other denominations, Anglican and Methodist and possibly United church I believe. I am not sure if the Presbyterian church ran some. I believe the non-Catholic churches have apologized for what went on in them. Yet the Pope inexplicably refuses to apologize. I can only assume he refuses because an apology could mean a big chuck of money would have to be paid for compensation out of the Vatican billions. So far it has been the federal government who has paid compensation, which means the taxpayers of Canada. It is time the Pope stepped up and contributed their share out of their billions.

I hope the Gov learned to quit trusting the chinese. This story about the lab out west and the firing of 2 Chinese scientists, could be real ugly.

Interesting observations can be made from the case statistics (Ontario, but may be relevant to other provinces as well, switch to all time view): https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data. The first "stay at home order" was declared from Dec.26. The graph shows that the counts actually started climbing from early November (over 1,000) to the lockdown (2,500) with first significant drop in new cases by the 20s of January, 2021 (2500, 18.01), almost a month later. Back to under 1,000 by Feb.15. Note the the total duration of the wave: approx. 3.5 months. Now the next wave: March 7, over 1,000, lockdown April 8 (one has to switch to last 90 days and look at the actual numbers of cases, the shape of the curve is misleading), May 2 is still showing close to 4 thousand new cases (3732). By the way, add 3.5 months, what do we get? In my calculation, mid June. Surely, a coincidence. Does it make sense though? If lockdowns are effective, say by cutting 50% transmissions, one would see first drop in cases 8 - 10 days after the lockdown is imposed, the incubation period. There is no escaping the math, if the number of new cases is halved on the first day, there has to be a 50% drop in detected cases within 10 days. Instead the drop isn't seen in a month. In the second wave to get a 30% drop in the counts as of April 8 (3,000) one has to wait till May 17th, way over a month. Is someone being clever here? By knowing an approximate duration of the wave it's not so hard to "correlate" lockdowns with the case dynamics in the waves by imposing them close to the expected peak then waiting for cases to drop to claim successful causation (forget the fallacies for now). Otherwise, why wait a month (third wave) or almost two (second) before implementing the response? Why real cases wouldn't react to the lockdowns as they should? And this is of course, if there was a reason to expect that they were doing something. Luckily we have the example of Ontario where Toronto area, the main hotspot stayed in lockdown since late December. There was no indication that restaurants and stores were ever a significant source. Closing provincial borders, no more than a publicity stunt. What does it leave? Right, schools. For a long time pretty much everybody with the notable exception of experts felt what schools could be a significant source unless properly secured. And all this time experts and bureaucrats preached that schools were safe instead of securing them. Then, had to close them anyways. Same with ICUs. Clever tricks and heartfelt appeals instead and in place of: effective monitoring; effective and honest communications; effective targeted interventions; and effective management of care facilities. There's one lesson here for us, the populace: if we expect and are thankful for what is given or drops from above including clever manipulations and obvious bs that's what we're going to get. And not a shred more. This is only natural and logical, no surprises.

I think in the case of the children put in residential schools, it was more than "allowed"; it was considered necessary. These "savages" required conversion to Christianity, and being savages, were not considered human enough to be treated with the same dignity and respect afforded white Christians, (even poor white Christians, whose children also suffered significant abuse). One only has to read comments on this forum re First Nations to see how ingrained this attitude still is among some people, and how much more prevalent it must have been in the 1800s, when residential schools were established. IMO, the lack of accountability of our leaders today are a hangover from that era, bolstered by people who are convinced that First Nations people should just "get over it", move off reservations and get a job. It's just not that easy or simple to overcome the kind of abuse and harm these people endured for generations.

That is my point. We paid the price for a lockdown that mainly caused pain and did little else. Look, I'm an educated man like many Canadians. I can figure out when I'm being bullshitted upon. I can easily learn the proper techniques that give benefit and minimize other harms, like most Canadians. What I don't need some government idiot who actually knows very little about public health and its impact, telling me carte-blanche orders I must follow. They are incapable of this level of leadership, and should be stripped of these powers right away.

You know that one about how a lie will travel around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on? Well...looks like the truth is finally starting to buckle up: No, Texas' Voting Law Isn't an 'Assault on Democracy' " [clip] When leftists accuse Republicans of stripping early voting by rolling back drive-through and outdoor voting, they maliciously leave out the context that these voting methods were allowed only in response to the Wuhan coronavirus and did not exist before 2020. When Democrats allege that the Texas legislature is seeking to cut down on early voting in some sort of racist scheme to limit minority votes, they ignore the fact that Texas voters have more days to vote—two weeks—than liberal states including New York and New Jersey which only allow nine days of early voting. What's more, voters in Texas have more hours in which to vote during those days than states including New Mexico and Maryland. Yet you don't hear the same Democrats condemning New York or New Mexico for having election laws akin to Jim Crow. What the election measures being pursued would do is protect the integrity of elections in Texas but employing commonsense, proven-effective methods to ensure each eligible voter has confidence that their vote counts fairly. More than eight-in-ten Texas voters back requiring photo ID to vote, showing support for election safeguards. Bringing the same security through identity verification to absentee voting just makes sense. Further helping Texas voters have more confidence in their votes, a new online system will allow individual voters to track their absentee ballot applications and know when their vote is counted. The truth about Texas Republicans' proposal is far from the nefarious regime Democrats and their allies say. And while Democrats have halted the bill's progress this weekend, the effort is not dead. Governor Greg Abbott tweeted late Sunday night that the election integrity bill "STILL must pass" as part of a special legislative session that may begin as soon as Tuesday. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2021/05/31/no-the-texas-voting-law-isnt-an-assault-on-democracy-n2590227

Al Gore did that even took that challenge all the way to the SCOTUS are you new to US politics or something?

Castro Trudeau is already preparing to bribe and steal the next election. We are already the laughing stock of the world and have been for decades now. Only, the next time we will find ourselves living under the flag of the hammer and sickle communist flag if Castro Trudeau wins the next election. Believe it or not.
