If you see me posting please remind me that I have Charlie Work in the reports forum to do instead
I wanted to add some basic ground rules here:

1. This is not the place to discuss international topics like Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine unless Canada is specifically involved or something regarding that topic has occurred in Canada or you're discussing what Canada's role in that topic should be. This is a kind of "I'll know it when I see it" sort of line.
2. This is not a place to gossip about other posters. Specifically posters who have been banned from this thread.

Oh, no, I don't know if he did anything today or justify me calling him that, just a friendly reminder for the new thread that Pallister, Premier of Manitoba, is almost definitively the worst Premier in the country, and is also a god drat ghoul.

Remains of 215 children found buried at former B.C. residential school, First Nation says

The community took it upon themselves to hire a ground-penetrating radar tech to inspect the grounds and found 215 bodies buried. The police do not appear to be getting involved. Good poo poo.

Chris Sky had a warrant issued for his arrest and hosed off back to Saskatoon.

https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/arrest-warrant-out-for-chris-sky-in-manitoba-1.5447009

quote:


Winnipeg police have confirmed an arrest warrant has been issued for Chris Saccoccia, otherwise known as Chris Sky.

Police said in an email to CTV News the warrant is under the Provincial Offences Act.

Sky confirmed the news on his Telegram account, saying he is avoiding Winnipeg, where he was scheduled to appear at an anti-restriction rally on Friday, and is instead in Saskatoon for a different rally.

Police also said one person has been arrested for repeated violations of public health orders.

"There are 5 outstanding warrants yet to be executed in this regard," said police in an email.


The other warrants are rumored to be for the needle dicks with Winnipeg Alternative News or whatever the gently caress they are called.

This is awful and unsurprising, and I'm guessing the police aren't involved because they're assuming the children were buried while the school was in operation 50 years ago and they already can't be assed to follow up on disappearances and murders of indigenous people that happened in this century.

Jesus Christ this is grim. This school was in operation under the Catholic Church's control until 1969 and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was only aware of 50 deaths there, partly because the Catholic Church refuses to release the relevant records.

I've seen a few of those and I've never met a subject who the agency cared enough about to come get. If you aren't going to put forth the slightest bit of effort, why copy-and-paste the original charge from two and a half years ago and start a brand new arrest with it

I'll just drop in here to post the obligatory: gently caress all churches and gently caress religion. Whether it's murdering and raping children, or spreading plague, or engaging in settler-colonial adventures for centuries upon centuries, or any number of other things, religion is really loving bad.

The legacy the brutality of residential schools is a big part of why contemporary Indigenous folks have such struggles. It's a generational trauma. The most basic parenting skills we take for granted were lost to hundreds of thousands of kids, all for the price of abuse, maybe death, and perhaps a grade 3-level education by the time they were finished at the "school". It's infuriating how Canadian society trivializes it. Even weepy Trudeau has basically failed to take any meaningful action despite the 2015 TRC recommendations and the aforementioned weeping.

They were death camps. Canada needs a reckoning on the level of the Nuremberg trials and post Nazi-Germany in terms of a society facing up to its sins. Just think about things like this mass grave whenever the dialoge of "was it really cultural genocide? was it really that bad that we want to use that term?" comes up.

It wasn't cultural genocide, it was just genocide. These abuses were happening post genocide convention too, so it literally was just genocide as the term is legally defined.
