According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, Canada’s residential school facilities were first established in what was known as New France. Such was the original term to define the land under which a group of French colonists established what would become Quebec in the year 1608.
“Residential schools were created by Christian churches and the Canadian government as an attempt to both educate and convert Indigenous youth and to assimilate them into Canadian society. The last residential school closed in 1996.”
Since this time, former students have demanded recognition and restitution, which resulted in the Residential Schools Settlement Agreement in 2007. A formal public apology by ex-Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper followed in 2008. In total, an estimated 150,000 First Nation, Inuit, and Métis children attended these schools.
Subsequent to the recent discovery of the bodies of 215 Indigenous children at a Residential School site in Kamloops, B.C., Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was questioned on actions his government will take regarding the ghastly event.
Asked if his government would pay for a widespread search, Trudeau said money has been put aside for “initiatives around residential school cemeteries.”
“I think that is an important part of discovering the truth,” Trudeau said. CAP agree– discovering the truth is critical. Thus far, however, Trudeau and media have omitted one piece of truth– the Liberal Party’s role in the residential school system.
Canada’s Residential Schools are historically labelled as being in existence from 1863 to 1998. For 60% of that time period, the Liberal Party of Canada was the ruling government.
During the years that Residential School existed in Canada, a Liberal prime minister held office 70% of the time. Other than founding fathers Sir John A. MacDonald(Conservative) and Sir Wilfred Laurier(Liberal), the longest standing national leader during this period was ex-Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
Therefore, if he really wanted the truth to be understood by general society, Justin Trudeau would inform the public that his Liberal Party has been a key factor in what he has referred to as an Aboriginal genocide.
Chances that Trudeau will come through with this pronouncement range between zero and nothing. He will never do it. Rather, based upon his track record, the responsibility will fall into the hands of Anglophone-Canada, and its historical predecessors.
Cut from the same cloth is NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, who this week issued the following statement on the gruesome discovery:
“215 Indigenous kids were found in an unmarked mass grave. Anytime you think of unmarked mass graves, you think of a distant country where a genocide has happened. This is not a distant country, this is here in Canada, and the genocide was against Indigenous people. And it is a genocide that is ongoing.”
Apart from the fact that unmarked mass graves could easily conjure up an image of Pakistan, Mr. Singh neglected to whisper a word about a Liberal government-First Nations connection.
He never will– and neither will CBC, Globe & Mail, or any other media institution. Not that it is difficult to comprehend why. The death of the Aboriginal children fits neatly into the Great Reset tool box as perpetrated by government, media and our academic world.
This discovery will serve as more “fuel for the fire,” as the running down of English Canada forms the core component for our country’s “Woke Revolution.” Since the advent of Justin Trudeau– not to mention back-up Canada-basher Jagmeet Singh— our society has been subjected to what CAP call “institutionalized self-loathing.”
