No way! No ones denying residential schools existed! But fuck me, theres so much fraud in the indigenous industry in Canada its insane. Just because they're indigenous, it doesn't mean they're not capable of Extreme FRAUD.

But the hideous damage has been done, based on the lie of over 200 "suspected graves" in Kamloops. Not one skeleton has been exhumed.

We're living in a maze of manufactured lies in Canada.

"more careful language" Soft shoeing bull crap. There are no graves!

Because it was a political lie and the natives were smart enough to grift off Canadian taxpayers when they got the chance.

A little late coming to the party BC law society.

A logical person would conclude that in order to verify the veracity of these claims they would actually have to excavate the site. Any other "accepting as fact" nonsense short of that is just bullshit and an obvious grift.

Well, let's see. It can either be a law society or a fiction writers' convention. They had to choose. But dealing with the fallout of their support of the deception is the inevitable next task.

“Careful language” says it all. Truth don’t need to be careful.

Because they were wrong, and deliberately distributing disinformation to Canadians but were forced to admit the truth after 4 years of lies and propaganda.

Tyere are no bodies. Not one has been found.

As a person who is part Metis, I detest indigenous grifting. They receive billions from taxpayers. Yet not only have they failed to provide their communities with clean drinking water or mental health services - both of which are urgently needed - they continue to push the mass graves narrative, while threatening the property rights of the very taxpayers from whom they collect a fat payday. Somebody needs to put the brakes on this corruption. This is a small but laudable first step.

There's no evidence. They made it all up to get money from the Government and taxpayers.

Here's an idea, dig it up. We paid them to do it already, so just dig it up and find out. Or give the money back

Groups are incentivized to compete for biggest victim, and the whole George Floyd fiasco really pushed BLM to the front. This was the consequence.

They will all resign and apologize for everything they've done right ?

Until there are bodies discovered, it is a unverified allegation.

Stellar article. Great work @sarkonakj

Should've walked it all the way back to "no evidence of bodies has ever been confirmed."

I Hope the province, country and the indigenous people are held accountable. People lost thier livelihood for questioning these lies

The article is an editorial opinion piece that relies on a backbone of verifiable facts, but interprets those facts through strong persuasion and subjective framing.

because they are no buried children, it's all a fucking lie brought to you by grifters and useless politicians.

Regardless of whether the claims around mass graves were true or not, residential schools were an abomination. Imagine the government forcibly taking your little children away from you and putting them in boarding schools where they are neglected and abused. Worst nightmares.

I find it interesting that a culture of people who failed to develop any type of written language, industrial tools, scientific principles or legal system supports a conclusion of dead bodies, without any scientific, legal or physical evidence. I guess facts don't really matter

Caught red handed, more like it.

Great reporting! Hoping this info falls onto more readers, a lot of damage was created by the lies and fraud. Don't let the people involved get away with it.

People need to go to prison. Start witj the MPs that pushed the claims

Apparently Canadians have to sue our govt for them to tell the truth, amd it take years and years. They have lied about EVERYTHING Canada is a Banana Republic Alberta cant leave it fast enough.

“My issue is just we’ve got to be truthful with our history with each other,” Heller said. “We all deserve the presumption of innocence.” There is nothing innocent, in my view, in the constant propogation of untruths and lies about unmarked graves and genocide in Canada.

scam

Hopefully not too careful... we need content!

It's a start.

B.C. Law Society still makes the fact-free assertion that there are “200 targets of interest at the Kamloops site that are probable burials”. There is zero evidence for there being any human bodies buried at Kamloops.

Where’d these lawyers get their LLB? The online law school of Uganda?

Great reporting! @sarkonakj @nationalpost #cdnpoli
