This guy has a lot of guts! A true hero. (Waffle House shooting)

I must apologize to the forum. I broke the rules by posting an article. I am sorry for that. The article was written by Robert McBain refuting claims in a story called the 'The Secret Path' about a young native boy called Charlie Wenjack. After much due diligence, Mr McBain was able to prove that much of what was written was little more than a pack of lies. The truth is that Charlie Wenjack actually attended a public school in Kenora, ON. He only boarded at Ceclia Jeffrey Indian Residential School. The school was NOT run by Catholics but by the Women's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church. There were no nuns or priests at the school. A Cree/Saulteaux by the name of Colin Wasacase was in charge of the school at the time and his wife was the matron. There is no credible evidence that the children were kept in prison-like conditions. Nor is their any evidence of abuse at the school. On the day Charlie disappeared he had been playing with two orphan boys from the school who had run away before. On the afternoon in question, the boys decided they would run away and visit their uncle - Charlie decided to go with them. After spending a few days at the cabin of the boy's uncle and for all appearances being well-cared for, Charlie decided he wanted to go home. Home was fly-in Ojibway community on the Marten Falls reserve. After being shown the railway tracks by the boy's uncle and being told to ask CNR railway workers for food along the way, Charlie left. His body was discovered by CNR engineer on October 23, 1996. That is the true story of Charlie Wenjack. The Secret Path has now become required reading in schools across this country. What good does this piece of revisionist history do for the true victims of abuse in Residential Schools. With all the available evidence, one might wonder why the authors didn't choose a true account instead of fictionalizing the life and death of young Charlie Wenjack.

At least the relations between France and canada are good again. There was some incident years ago when De Gaulle visited canada and he shouted from the balcony of some building in Quebec Vive la Quebec libre or something similar. He was sent packing and told he was no longer welcome to Canada.

Really a shameful chapter in Canadian politics. It's never really been a battle of the Right to Life versus the Right to Choose - euphemisms for the two extremes. The majority of Canadians sit somewhere in the middle - a respectful compromise addressing both concerns. Virtually every Western country have put the issue to bed with rational discussions and mild legislation that make a statement on behalf of their society - that choices are not to be trivialized - they should be informed, timely and respectful. Drowned out by the shrill cries of the Left, Canada has never been permitted to have that open and honest discussion - aided and abetted by a pliant media who refuse to do their job as journalists. When was the last time anyone saw an article that compared our non-legislation to that of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, The Netherlands, etc?

Our economy, apparently we'll destroy it if we take action on climate change. Presumably we can survive the destruction of our environment but not our economy. Economics trumps everything including logic or common sense.

Here is some good news: Natalie Portman has publicly refused to travel to Israel for the Genesis award, leading the entire ceremony to be canceled. In a statement she said "[r]ecent events in Israel have been extremely distressing to her and she does not feel comfortable participating in any public events in Israel” and that “she cannot in good conscience move forward with the ceremony." Israel's brand has become so toxic that even well-known Israeli-American cultural figures, like Natalie Portman, now refuse to blatantly whitewash, or art-wash, Israeli crimes and apartheid policies.

I see you are also confused... the prefix used was "in French", meaning he is speaking more than french. Same as when using the word "in-famous". If you are in-famous, you are more than just famous.
