Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."
Today, we recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The Edmonton Oilers honour the survivors of residential schools, their families and those who never returned home.
We recognize the importance of listening, learning, reflecting and working towards meaningful reconciliation with Indigenous communities.
Here are the graves.
This Orange Shirt Day we are returning the Brandon Indian Residential School cemetery grounds to the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation on behalf of many First Nations whose children are buried here.
This is one of the most well documented burial grounds at a residential school in Canada with not only church and historical records but also contemporaneous newspaper articles describing what happened to these children.
You can not deny history.

As we recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we continue to listen, learn and reflect on the past and recommit ourselves to the work ahead.
We remain dedicated to advancing meaningful reconciliation and building stronger relationships with Indigenous communities.
@COWABRINI@sleepykvlt@BlueJays@myles_straw@LouieVarland The whole point is the admin lying about it and having a little temper tantrum because he was wrong. In the grand scheme of life it’s not a big deal of course but it’s also not a good look on the Jays franchise. We have the worst Admin in all Canadian pro sports.
@lizzzzzzzzzzy 😂 The Jays need to find a new Twitter admin because this guy is the worst. His little temper tantrum last night isn’t a good look for the franchise.
