The habit of words changing in usage because one meeting happens over another is a natural process. 

 

It can be a natural process but the simple fact of the matter is many times it is not a natural process. It is an active effort to create propaganda. That is the case here. There's no natural evolution of that word.

You're making excuses for Bad actors.

"Oh but both sides do it" , especially after claiming you weren't going to address the motives of the actors here, is a debating tactic designed to deflect rather than to address the issue, unless you're going to claim that it's normal and nothing is wrong with it. 

It doesn't matter who's doing it, it's still bad. But in this particular case we're talking about a specific circumstance and a specific group of people.

And the word has been hijacked to try and make an emotional appeal for propaganda purposes. It is beyond dishonest, there was never any attempt to wipe out first nations culture by sending the kids to school.

In 1993 the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples investigated Indian Residential Schools, and other issues. Interviews of Indigenous happened across the country but in the BC Interior, it happened at Kamloops Residential School.

The Kamloops Residential School is on the Reserve of the Secwepemc First Nation. The people making the claims about 215 buried children are the Secwepemc.

And in 1993 the Commission heard testimony from the Chief of the Secwepemc, among many other Secwepemc people.

In 1993 they all had an opportunity to address anything they wished, in an open and protected forum to tell their truth, of their experience of Kamloops Residential School. 

The interviews were even extended for an extra day so that the Chiefs of Bands of other children who attended Kamloops School could also give testimony.  And like the Secwepemic "knowledge keepers", they made no mention of mass graves or missing children, either.

And in all their testimony, the Secwepemc 'knowledge keepers' never made a single reference to graves, burials, or deaths of children. In 1993 the knowledge keepers had spoken, it's documented, and does not support what we were told in the Tkemlups press conferences.

 

The adults giving testimony in 1993 were much more impacted by Residential Schools, than the adults in 2026.

 

It's like a game of "Telephone" where the truth becomes more and more convoluted as the years go by.

A CBC article from a few years ago

-12.5 million for a new "healing center"

-Another 1.5 million on consultant fees for the school

-2.5 million to address "harms" and additional 1.2 million for other health related issues.

Cheap propaganda for the LPOC.

This could have gone a lot better if we had just acknowledged that no culture has ever been a unicorn utopia of peace and just stuck to actual archaeological evidence.

I'm not debating it. I'm also not going to disagree that it's dishonest. We don't really disagree.

The more time passes, the more this story unravels.

The woman adjusted her story down by 15 graves, because she found out that a few of the locations she thought were graves were just from previous archaeological digs, but all the cultists just ignored the fact that 15 of her "graves" were already disproven. 

This reminds me, I heard a loud noise outside last night... 

It was obviously Trudeau murdering 35 children. 

Nope, I just realized that it was only 20 now. Some of what I heard was just my neighbour starting his car. 

In any event, Trudeau killed 20 children last night. But we can't dig up the bones to verify it, because that's disrespectful. Let's just agree that we should all call him a racist and a murderer from now on.

I think it's funny how much of a pathetic cultist you are.

1) Justin Trudeau's father funded the residential schools, so, while most Canadians thought that the residential schools were actually educating those children, and therefor were in no way responsible for the bad things that happened there, Justin's father actually did know, and he still funded the ongoing "genocide". How do you feel knowing that the Trudeau family intentionally funded genocide? Does that surprise you?

2) "someone so genuine"? 😂 Holy f-t4rds, Batman! That's some ultra-pathetic cultist bullshit right there. FYI there was nothing "genuine" about that. He knew that there was no genocide there, but the little b1tch was pandering to the divisive racists who started that narrative, and throwing Canadians and Catholics under the bus to make himself look good.

 

I'll just repeat that in case you missed it: Whether you think there was an actual genocide, or you think that maltreatment of First Nations children was rampant across all res schools and they weren't there for educational purposes at all:

1. average Canadians knew nothing of it, so were therefor not responsible
2. our media was covering it up, because no doubt at least some people came forward. Am I surprised to find out that our media was so shitty back then? 
3. PET had all the information, and he kept the "genocide" going. So that's not really a photo of "Trudeau getting emotional about the atrocities committed against indigenous children by whites", it's "Trudeau gaining cheap Brownie points by throwing average Canadians under the bus, when his family were the ones who were truly responsible for the genocide."

re: "the truth becomes more and more convoluted as the years go by"

Indian Residential Schools were government and church run institutions aimed at assimilating indigenous children, resulting cultural loss, abuse and long term legacy trauma. 

The last IRS closed its door in 1997 - fairly recent.

Lets compromise and agree that the so-called truth becomes ever more political  over time. - akin to Palestine?

That said what was attempted was cultural genocide - mandated by the government and groomed by the Church. 

The road to hell is paved with good intentions? 

Was it 'good intentions' or a facade for racism, discrimination and indifference?

Father O'Grady, Principal Kamloops Residential School, to M. McKay Indian Commissioner for BC

I like anything that adds to mention to the people involved, because we're not dealing with action Heroes or villains. 

People could be good and bad at different times, or even the same time.

Know nothing of history? Back in the day, all the better class sent their kids to boarding schools. They were rarely comfortable places.

King Charles described his as Colditz in kilts. And that was 1960 not 1860.

If you don't know what Colditz was look it up.

................ slavery in the U.S. was greatly exaggerated as well. 😧

"They' have an axe to grind - who could blame them. 

The topic of "slavery in the US" is entirely predicated on lies.

To listen to left4rds talk:

• American blacks were the only slaves in the history of the world
• whites were the only people to ever own slaves
• blacks had never owned slaves
• blacks had never owned white slaves
• there were no white slaves in the world back when the US owned slaves

During the era that the US had slaves, Barbary pirates took more than 1.25M white Christians as slaves. 

Furthermore, Egyptians and other African countries owned white slaves for centuries. 

The Moors were primarily blacks, and they were slavers and colonizers of Europeans.

I really couldn't give a F about the black slaves in the US. They are a drop in the bucket, as far as the topic of slavery is concerned. If they deserve reparations, then almost everyone gets reparations, whites included.  

Egypt, Turkey and Persia are probably the worst offenders as far as being slave-owners goes, and the muslims are up there as well. Are we talking about reparations from them? 

Shove this topic up your arse.
