'Churches' being burned down in Canada

we are indoctrinated with a history that leaves out details that are actually mind changing

for example, Indians did not invent scalping. the English and French started them on that but we always hear the Indians scalped people...oh horror.

BWAHAHAHA!!! The Canadian HOLOCAUST!! GENOCIDE in Canada!!! There it is again! Even the dude walked that one back. But your guys here are rolling with it? There must be some money to be made off of this. I can smell a scam from a mile away. Guaranteed. If there's not some sort of money to some supposed victims here, I'll publicly apologize to the dude and whoever else is burning down these churches.

I could scream at your display of ignorance and pompous ignoring of the facts. it was ongoing in the 70's. maybe if some of you Americans did not think you were the only people in the world who matter, you would actually make an attempt to inform youselves.



do you even know where Canada is?

Sue Caribou contracts pneumonia once a year, like clockwork. The recurring illness stems from her childhood years at one of Canada’s horrific residential schools. “I was thrown into a cold shower every night, sometimes after being raped”, the frail 50-year-old indigenous mother of six said, matter-of-factly.

Caribou was snatched from her parents’ house in 1972 by the state-funded, church-run Indian Residential School system that brutally attempted to assimilate native children for over a century. She was only seven years old. “We had to stand like soldiers while singing the national anthem, otherwise, we would be beaten up”, she recalled.



denial sent millions of Jews and other ethnicities to the gas chambers. but that's just history I guess. come to think of it, many don't believe that happened either

Caribou said Catholic missionaries physically and sexually abused her until 1979 at the Guy Hill institution, in the east of the province of Manitoba. She said she was called a “dog”, was forced to eat rotten vegetables and was forbidden to speak her native language of Cree.

“I vowed to myself that if I ever get out alive of that horrible place, I would speak up and fight for our rights”, she said.


Sue Caribou said Catholic missionaries abused her until 1979 at the Guy Hill institution.
Her voice and that of 150,000 other residential school pupils was finally heard across the nation this week as Canada faced one of the darkest chapters in its history. The head of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), set up to examine the school system’s legacy, did not mince his words when he unveiled his landmark report. “Canada clearly participated in a period of cultural genocide”, declared Justice Murray Sinclair to cries and applause of survivors in Ottawa. Although prime minister Stephen Harper apologised for the school system in 2008 (as did the Roman Catholic Church in 2009), his government has always denied that it was a form of genocide.

Many survivors who gathered in Ottawa felt empowered for the first time in their life after hearing findings of the six-year-long commission.

“It feels like our story is validated at last and is out there for the world to see”, said a tearful 58 year-old Cindy Tom-Lindley, who is executive director of the Indian Residential School Survivor Society in British Columbia. “We were too scared as children to speak out. So to give our testimonies to the commission was liberating and emotional.”

As many as 6,000 children died in residential institutions, which ran from 1876 to 1996.

The accurate figure could be much higher however, since the government stopped recording aboriginal students’ deaths in 1920 in light of the alarming statistics. Caribou believes that dozens of pupils perished at the institution where she was detained. “Remains were found all over the fields. But numbers do not reflect the reality. Many of my friends committed suicide after their release”, said Caribou, who said she was frustrated that an inquiry did not take place twenty years ago, after the last of the residential schools closed

Wow, are you that ignorant of history that you deny that genocide has been taking place?

150+ years of historical evidence given and all you can do is laugh?

Oh, mocking and scoffing is also part of your repertoire.

Shame on you.

I'm from Canada. I KNOW this is true.

you sound very arrogant...

Isn't it funny how when someone calls someone else arrogant that they themselves are almost always guilty of it?

For example, being from a Canada doesn't give you privileged knowledge about everything. You probably know some stuff about your small geographical area, but the rest of what you think you know is received second hand. You just repeat what you hear from others, you don't actually experience it.

It'd be like me saying "I'm American. I know all about America now." which would be a ludicrous thing to say. America is large and diverse and despite my many travels and well-cultured worldview, I still won't claim to know it all. That would be the height of arrogance.

Why do you seem to desperately want the church to be directly responsible for the deaths of children?

It seems like that's a rather agenda-driven stance to have, given your inability to substantiate your claims.

You haven't proved anything so why try. You're just making counteraccusations and raising different issues without actually directly addressing the main topic.

Are you familiar with the concept of blood libel
Catholics used to believe that Jews were killing Christians and using their blood to cast spells. They were also complicit in blaming the Jews for the crucifixion of christ. As a matter of fact the Vatican did not officially drop its charges of deicide against the Jews until the 1960s
So the anti-Semitism that built the Nazi crematoriums brick by brick was brought to us by Catholic propaganda

nothing is funny in what you are saying and apparently you believe pointing out the truth with proof of the same is considered arrogant by you. that is your problem and no one elses'



being American does not excuse you from acknowledging the truth and reading the posts that provide it. I research. some people do that instead of running their beaks when they know less than nothing about a subject



sorry you are stuck on the word arrogance. guess that touched a nerve. that being said, educate yourself. instead of ignoring the posts that provide the evidence, why don't you do something a little out of your comfort zone and try to educate yourself without needlessly attacking others because it is easier for you to do so, rather than read facts and possibly admit you were wrong

I just didn't take your race-baiting rhetoric is all.

Catholicism doesn't line up with anything in the bible. So I'm not sure how you would call them Christians
700 children were murdered in the Vatican tried to cover it up. What part of that do you not understand?
Turns out the locals get upset when someone invades their country and murder 700 of their indigenous children. Go figure

Yes.


I'm Christian. I believe jews (and others) still do this. There's every bit as much evidence for blood libel as there is for this "Canadian Holocaust". What exactly do you think was happening on Epstein island?? It was totally a form of blood libel. In fact God slapped the jews down for passing their children through the fires of Moloch. It's all the same thing.


Interesting timing. That's when Vatican 2 happened. A lot of evil happened in the church during those years.


Ya. Ya. Heard it a million times. Anyone to the right of Lenin is a nazi. Anyone white person that doesn't hate himself is a racist. Any male who doesn't grovel to women is a sexist. Now it's if you're Catholic, you're responsible for the holocaust. Whatever.
