  1. It’s time Canada admits this was genocide and come clean by teaching this horrific act in Canadian history classes.

  2. I honestly cannot believe what this senator has experienced. Canada is broken. Our history is bloodstained.

  3. It’s almost like they ran farms for somebody who wanted kids. Churches,schools, forest clearings…..why dead kids?

    1. ‘farms’. You are correct. These predators in human form engaged in human sacrifice.
      I lived in Northern Quebec and saw what the Jesuits did.
      Only an impartial autopsy report by an unbiased Medical Professional would answer that question.
      However, that is unlikely.

  4. As a country we must search for the truth, and provide true justice, repair and reconciliation to the victims! If we fail to do so, it will be a painful shame to be Canadian. This is a genocide against children, CHILDREN! True justice is needed, in action not words.

  5. Pierre Elliott Trudeau was a supporter of residential schools. Comical we haven’t heard cries to erase him from history
