@buperac This video is two years old , you’re falling for liberal nonsense. Separation is the answer but smith is not the enemy, at least, not because of this video . I do have to say, I don’t like the road she’s going down but I’ll give her a little more leash before I condemn her.
Some hard facts on “mass graves”:
-The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, found 0 cases of homicide. ZERO.
-In 165 years of residential schools, there were a total of 6 suicides in residential schools.
-From 2011 to 2015, the estimated deaths by suicide was 1,180 for First Nations
-There were a total of 3201 deaths in 165 years
-Over a third were before 1940
-Tuberculosis, influenza (the Spanish Flu), and pneumonia were the leading cause of death
-Antibiotics weren’t widespread until the 1950s
-This is well documented in the 1907 Dr Bryce report (screenshot attached)
-Back then, there was NO admission medical exams & kids who were admitted were documented as sick
-IMPORTANT FACT: the Spanish Flu FORCED common graves with PRIESTS, STAFF, & STUDENTS
-This was the norm during this era: Philadelphia, the UK, and Norway all used mass graves in 1918–19
-And yes, outside of the 1918 Spanish Flu there was SHARED USE cemeteries
-School cemeteries buried priests, bishops, settlers, and reserve community members so remains aren’t necessarily students
-This is a FACT CONFIRMED by the truth and reconciliation commission of Canada
-Pupil burials were free to First Nation parents; what was known as Indian Affairs, they had a policy to do this to keep costs low
-This ensured that on site burials were the cheapest option
-This was consistent with how institutions treated the impoverished or indigent in a general sense
-It’s worth considering that neglect can explain “unmarked” graves
-Wooden crosses with painted names deteriorated or were destroyed after schools closed and were abandoned post 1969
-So “unmarked” reflects decay, not some sort of secret burial
-Here’s a major discrepancy which you might not know of: Kamloops
-The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada documented only 51 deaths at Kamloops
-This completely contradicts against the May 27, 2021 press release of “215 children.”
Where did that number come from?
-The community’s own framing, Chief Rosanne Casimir stated it was “not a mass grave, but rather unmarked burial sites,” and the press release acknowledged the cemetery was already “spoken about” and known
-FYI: ground penetrating radar detects ONLY soil anomalies
-It cannot confirm human remains, identify age, nor determine whether a body is a student, former student, a nun a priest or community member
FIN.
