This article gets some credit for not trying to downplay how awful the residential school system was. It lays out some hard rough facts at the end.
Edit: of course this brought very certain thoughts on aboriginal people out of the woodwork lol

Denialism clearly. OfF WiTH thEIr HeAdS!!
/s
I’m shocked I tell you shocked! Well, not really that shocked to be honest. The fact that they apparently found 84254678 grave sites in the first couple months was kinda telling, sounded more like a company creating more business for itself.
So roughly $200 million taken from the fund created as a result of these Grave Claims.
$200 Million and not a single bit of proof.
Disgusting
What’s funny is there’s been no evidence of any burial sites for 5 years. There are STILL people who act like you’re a conspiracy theorist if you point it out it was a hoax from the start.
Reconcile that with the „truth.“
The grifting continues…
Empathy for any Indigenous issue is totally gone from me. Nobody will ever be held accountable for the damage that these false claims did.
Genuinely confused here: why do we keep referring to them as “gravesites” if no bodies have been found? Why do they remain labeled as such?
The government lied. What’s new. Stop believing everything the government puts out.
Some extra fuel for colonial guilt so everyone was too passive to speak up about immigration being out of control.
Would love to see the receipts for how that $216 mil was spent. Wonder how many shiny new pickup trucks and ATVs were needed for these investigations.
Trudeau laying a teddy bear at this non existent gravesite for a photo op was peak Trudeau.
So when heard about this I said okay this could be possible give them the benefit of the doubt, that terrible things could have happened in the past. So they look around waste millions of dollars find nothing. Now what? They money is gone, and still going when do we say, hey stop, that’s enough. While I’m not going to say none of what is claimed is untrue, we have to come to some realization that this isn’t productive.
Certain groups of people fly off the handle if you „deny“, *in their mind*, that this happened; or even suggest that the figures are less than they suggest they are. Most accused „deniers“, that I’ve seen, are simply *asking for evidence*; which is the backbone of our legal system. If somebody makes an assertion, the burden of proof is on them.
If this did happen, as it has been said to have happened, then I would absolutely want there to be some sort of accountability for the perpetrators. I just need there to be an amount of tangibile proof that is equal to the accusation. Even if we’re not holding to the standard of „beyond all reasonable doubt“, I could even be somewhat satisfied by „balance of probablilites“; but, at present, I don’t think we’re even seeing that much.
FN: trust me bro
„Wait, it’s all fraud?“
„Always has been“
So they aren’t “mass graves” but unmarked graves. I’m not sure about your schools but the boarding school my Father went to in the 50’s doesn’t have ANY graves. Still a horrible situation that should never have happened.
Under bill C-413 this conversation would be a criminal offence punishable by jail time under hate speech laws. Remember that when you vote in the next cycle.
Looks like Canadian version of BLM. Both emotionally charged controversial vehicles that’s have very specific political purpose
Love that we got a federal holiday out of it 🤷♂️
I have to pay 2 stats in September for labour day and 5 years of truth and reconciliation day for something that has zero proof of it happening? I’m actually fucking pissed off.
I read the [Globe article (gift link)](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/bdf2b92e964427915c96dcb1f5e28d8b56bb3f266bdcf4013134675feba7d5de/7QTUQBLBZZHKRASU4LW2KUOZAA/) on this and this excerpt stuck with me:
> Five years after a grim announcement in B.C., uncertainty gives rise to doubt and denialism over suspected graves near a former residential school
How is it „denialism“ if no bodies have ever been found and the FN are actually preventing an archaeological dig that would confirm it?
The damage this has done to their credibility is astounding. The country collectively mourned over this, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars were spent, and people were shamed and called racists for asking for proof. It will never happen but they should issue an apology.

None of them have been dug up. Because nobody – apparently except for the conspiracy theorists commenting here – wants to dig up a buried child.
Wow … are we actually allowed to say this now? I remember when this was an auto ban to even mention it.
It’s not about the unmarked graves we found. It’s about the church’s we burned down along the way.
Canadaland has an episode specifically about this if anybody wants to learn a bit more about it.

I feel we are called bad people if we ask any questions.
Nobody ever claimed mass graves like it was a big pit they were throwing bodies into. The claim was always unmarked graves, which is still an abhorrent practice to have the state take kids from their parents, send them off to be brainwashed, they die, and no record or explanation is ever offered to the parents who didn’t ask for any of it to happen. I’m guessing a lot of people who have a problem with institutions taking responsibility for this would not want the government to take their kids away to be brainwashed into believing in Hinduism and practicing Indian cultural practices with a very real possibility of you never hearing from them again. The school I went to didn’t have an unmarked graveyard, why did some?
