When our national media don’t like where a narrative is going — as in anyone assuming Joe Biden is an eager participant in Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling — they repeat a mantra about “no evidence.” Biden’s critics have “no evidence” of a Joe-Hunter corruption connection.
But when they like a narrative — like arrogant white imperialist Catholics in Canada were so hostile to “Indigenous peoples” that they committed a genocide — somehow, no evidence is required. The wilder, the better. In 2021, a Native Canadian tribe claimed that “ground-penetrating radar” found 215 bodies near a residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia. Within a week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered flags across Canada to be flown at half-staff for all the allegedly murdered children.
American media outlets like NPR forwarded wild allegations from the Canadian Broadcasting Company, staining the reputations of two “public broadcasters.” Based on unsubstantiated allegations of a mass grave in Cranbrook, British Columbia, Chief Jason Louie of the Lower Kootenay Band proclaimed, “Let’s call this for what it is. It’s a mass murder of Indigenous people.”
Then Chief Louie really spread the smear brush. “The Nazis were held accountable for their war crimes. I see no difference in locating the priests and nuns and the brothers who are responsible for this mass murder to be held accountable for their part in this attempt of genocide of an Indigenous people.”
From there, Murray Sinclair, the former leader of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission on harms that residential schools inflicted on Indigenous children from the 19th century to the 1970s, wowed the press by claiming the body count could be 15,000 to 25,000. That number was based on what? It didn’t matter.
Well, it did matter, since what quickly followed was a vicious round of vandalism and arson that damaged or destroyed 68 Christian churches in Canada.
Fast-forward to Aug. 31, when the New York Post reported no actual human remains have been found in Canada, despite the “mass graves” hysteria. A Native Canadian tribe excavated 14 sites below Our Lady of Seven Sorrows church in Manitoba and found exactly zero corpses. That initial finding in Kamloops? There have still been no excavations, only the “ground-penetrating radar” guessing of “anomalies” in the soil. How could journalists spread a panic with no physical evidence?
Truth lost, and retribution crowded out reconciliation. The word “hoax” is in the breeze. Justin Trudeau looks like the leader of QAnon-ada.
In 2014, Bill Donohue of the Catholic League wrote about a “mass graves” hysteria in Ireland around a claim that 800 bodies were found outside a home Catholic nuns used to operate near Galway. There, too, the Catholics were equated with the Nazis committing a Holocaust. There was no mass grave. But people are all too willing to believe the worst about priests and nuns and their easily assumed Catholic collaborators in heinous crimes.
There’s a word for this. It’s “prejudice,” defined in the dictionary as “preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.”
Same happens in Australia. Aboriginals say there were massacres by the early white settlers.. Some even say the Aboriginals were wiped out. No mention of the way the tribal elders killed their own people for what we would consider trivial offenses such as refusing to be initiated, not marrying the person they were told to, and entering a ‘secret scared’ site without permission
Sure, in the early days of white settlement there were clashes with the Aboriginals, As it is, there are plenty of Aboriginals around today, so much for being ‘wiped out!’.
It is very odd, the least surprising thing that might appear in a graveyard or cemetery is dead bodies, yet Canadians are horrified at the prospect. A scam, billions of dollars, no list of missing children, no bodies. Now a new law against ” residential school denialism” jail for thinking incorrectly. Nothing odd about that?
Same thing in Tulsa Oklahoma. They spent a bunch of money looking for a mass grave, and never found one. What they did find was some individual burial sites, with decomposed wooden makers. I guess no one has ever heard of a paupers grave.
Canada is a Marxist society now.
Not sure if it is Marxist but certainly an Orwellian post-truth society.
Manifestly contrived, fallacious and destructive Narratives(TM) of alleged racial or other grievance are all that matter to the vile Leftists and Dumb-o-crats. Objective facts, truths and reality need not intrude. All that matters is tossing a match into a can of gasoline to get the Leftist/Dumb-o-crats mobs and media ginned up in a new display of histrionics and agitation.
Sorry, but on this subject I totally disagree with the author.
While no mass graves have been located, the documentation of First Nation women raped, tortured and murdered, then thrown into forest graves and in the Red River out in Canada’s Western provinces is well-documented, INCLUDING THE APATHY AND THE DISDAIN OF Canadian police and authorities to go after their killers.
Please do some research and tell the truth here. The Canadian attitude towards their First Nations is as sickening as the disdain towards our own Native Americans, where in Arizona I have seen with my own eyes, ramshackle shacks, old cars, no electricity, no running water – and no hope.
Shame on you for promoting this – outside of the no mass graves – lie.
And the stats show that when First Nations women are murdered, like all murder victims, the perpetraters are usually known to them, or even related.
Look! A squirrel!
Alan Rockman, you totally disagree that churches were slandered and as a result, burned, as the author says?
What you wrote, if true, was tragic and criminal. And, if true, you have a right to be angry about it. But it’s off-topic. I have to add the “if true” because interjecting an angry mini-rant and failing to connect it to the author’s piece diminishes your credibility. To the extent it’s true at all, I have to wonder if it tells the whole truth. Unless you can add some context connecting your story with what the author wrote, I have to discount it.
There is a wise saying among Evangelicals ‘worry about your own sin and not sins of the Philistines’ the people who were mean to the Indians are dead, stop pointing the finger at others, and do better yourself.
Give sources for your assertions, “well documented” is just an assertion without checkable references. The Indians were great at murdering one another and were perfectly willing to ally wit the white man to do it. (Bradford’s “Plymouth Plantation” cites several cases).
I visited the Pima Reservation outside Phoenix some years ago. Judging from photos of the reservation in the early 20th Century, the Pimas worked their own land, were slender, dressed like anyone else. What I saw was a split-level slum populated by obese, probably diabetic, Indians who did not work. The BIA & tribal leaders have kept people dependent, obstacles to clear title to property is one of the reasons. Handouts destroy people. The Lumbees, who are not recognized as a tribe, run businesses, work, have a decent life.
The current data we have, says the majority of the Indigenious women that are killed in Canada is by Indigenous men, one of those hard truths no one wants to speak about.
The mass graves narrative was fabricated by the state media outlet the CBC – the Indigenous Band that conducted the Kamploops survey never said there were graves, they only detected ground disturbances, in a cementary which had many graves that are unmarked since they used wooden crosses as markers, most of these cementaries are not maintained.
The Canadian government to date have paid out $4.7B in reparations and devoted hundreds of millions toward addressing the legacy of residential schools – to date no excavating has been done in Kamloops or any other location that have claims of mass graves. The entire controversy is a fraud.
I live in a reservation border town, It’s all the in thing to be on the missing “indigenous” women bandwagon but the people on the res all know it’s drunk Indians that are killing their women, not the evil white man.
And the stats show that when First Nations women are murdered, like all murder victims, the majority of the perpetraters are usually known to them, or even related to them.
Francis is a Marxist. And as the photo clearly indicates, a fool.
Mass graves with bones…….yet to be found…..neglected cemeteries….too many to count…..
The atrocities appear to be one sided…….I recommend “My Life on the Plains” or “Personal Experiences with Indians” by General George Armstrong Custer……..
The Idea that Columbus Brought Carnage and Diseases to the New World is still based on total Lies and Leftists Revisonist History. Ben & Jerry Blew it big time
Not so! I have a book from 1810 that condemned the barbarity of Columbus’s men towards the natives and even his own son condemned him for his actions. The book is by Henry Trumbull and is known to most historians. That said, brutality and massacres were a common event in the Middle Ages and still are in third world countries. What Columbus did is no different than what Arab Muslims do to the black African Christians to this day or would do to the Jews if Israelis let their guard down
Remember that Columbus came from a Spain that had just been liberated from Muslim oppression, so his men were pretty barbarous. But there is documentation that he hanged a member of his crew for abusing a native woman, so I’m not so sure he was on board with his men’s bad behavior. The problem is that he didn’t catch them all.
The elite are as addicted to victimization as any heroin junkie is addicted to smack
The “ high” is a delicious mixture of outrage and condemnation of others while , at the ame time , basking in the warm glow that one is endowed with both superior virtue as well as “ courage “ in exposing and denouncing evils
here in australia we have the same virtue signallers loudly claiming genocide , stolen children grievance industry , stolen land , invasion by white supremacy , and now the voice to parliament all driven by black grievance ideology and power grab . millions of dollars wasted by the very crowd crying poor mouth and a voice enshrined in the constitution . blacks that don’t want it are badmouthed by other blacks and the usual tropes trotted out by the yes crowd as well as celebrities and woke corporations all getting on the virtue bandwagon . govt. paternalism will come back to bite them [ one can hope ] marxism at its deceptive best . our prime minister is just another union hack who has never had a real job his entire life living off the taxpayers dollar as a career politician . america we hear you .
No country in the entire World has a good History as every one came out of, directly or indirectly, from War except perhaps Bhutan.
Mankind has conquered, enslaved, slaughtered others for their own gains and control, nothing new about that as we can clearly see that from Istanbul to Kabul there were only Jews Christians, Hindus Buddhist and other religious minorities and now we see clearly that the entire area, except for tiny Israel is all islamic.
How many people know that Afghanistan was once a Buddhist Nation or that Lebanon was a Christian Nation and now look at both of them.
My point being that mankind is far from being civilized, regardless of which Race Religion or Nation we speak of, everybody has conquered and destroyed, so get over it and learn from it so it never happens again…
Which of course it will again and again and again.
I believe this was another hoax, no? When in doubt, just assume all of these stories of racism are hoaxes. Odds are, you’ll be right.
I assume every race outrage story is a hoax ,until the facts come out.
The M.S. Media has the tendency to always blow thins way of proportions and use words the Gunned Down and Assault Rifle their as Guilty of Crimes as the criminal’s since they cover up for them
Matthew Shephard, Hands Up Don’t Shoot, mass graves unenexcatvated for certainty that nothing is there, other “mass graves being found worldwide by aboriginals containing no bodies; it all starts with France TV 2 creation of the Mohammed Al Dura farce.
Western journalism is pure propaganda at this point. Facts can be manufactured or staged at any point. Alls that matter is that the narrative lives on.
CBC is not printing any “oops” on this one.
Propaganda from communist or fascist tendencies, which are really two sides of the same totalitarian coin, do not require oppression. It is more grassroots, journalists willingly going along because they are true believers in their Cause.
MASS GRAVES at RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS is all that any one is going to remember. That is all CBC is going to say about it. Maybe they will slip in a oopsie in ther somewhere, but not where anyone is going to see.
The stories stick long after the farce is exposed.
The stories are all as fake as the tales of oppression that they support. Poor choices on behalf of natives, or gays, or Palestinians are not the equivalent of racist oppression from a genocidal Western civilization.
