Canadian Residential Schools

[Masato]

Hey all

What do you think of this topic?

On one hand, I have no doubt there was some ugly shit going on, likely ripe with child abuse and trafficking.
I remember folks like Kevin Annett trying to bring attention to it years ago and he was slandered as a conspiracy theorist.

On the other hand, the Canadian Government seems to be loving the story lately for some reason, CBC and mainstream parrots doing tons of content about it all the time.

Many were screaming for the truth to come out, but now the government/media propaganda seems like its being spun somehow, many now saying that the CBC is saying lies and making unproven claims.

What is going on here?

Why is the mainstream suddenly coming out about this now? Can they be trusted?
If not, how is this new narrative different from the truth? What is the purpose of promoting it now?

Reason for the thread is that I'm writing a new script that touches some of this, but my research results so far have been badly flooded and tainted with that CBC mainstream Liberal flavour.

Lot better than what the natives had before.

depends how far back you go I think.

I'm researching Nuu-chah-nulth, from where I was born on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

This geographic part of the world to me is paradise. Abundant nature, temperate climate, astounding beauty

Watching this now, recent vid with Kevin Annett



He answers my question by suggesting that all this Government "Truth & Reconciliation" is a gigantic Limited Hangout operation designed to minimize and cover up the horror.

Annett says they are trying to make it cozy, and the media is hyping a 'scandal' that is only 1/1000th of the Truth. They talk about a few dead kids that may or may not be buried, while Annett insists that the reality was absolute genocide and a massive child-trafficking operation.

I think this explanation sounds very sensible. Starting to make some sense now.

I'll finish and post any further points from it

Looks like people like Kevin Annett had blown the case wide open and has been pushing effective legal cases

The Government could no longer put the genie back in the bottle, but at the same time could not admit to the Truth, as it would implicate the government and various church orgs as genocidal mass murderers.

All this 'Truth & Reconciliation' by Government, pushed especially hard under Trudeau regime, is DAMAGE CONTROL.

[Masato]

He claims that the 'digs' at a residential school in Kamloops was done basically by the same organizations as those who would have been responsible (ROYAL Commission)

They didn't find anything, of course.

Love when people 'investigate' themselves, lol

[Masato]

He says that the modern government 'Truth & Reconciliation' commission keeps using the word ABUSE, when 'acknowledging this dark chapter of our history'.

ABUSE.

Annett points out that they NEVER use the words; MURDER, STERILIZATION, TORTURE, CHILD TRAFFICKING, etc etc.


He calls it a "fog and smear campaign".
