Another brilliant article, Nina, exposing the hypocrisy behind the Residential School genocide hysteria. I find that most of these indigenous activists share a common thread of negative experiences in their background in which they employ scapegoating and hyperbole to minimize and explain through a victim hood defense. One must keep in mind that such transparent posturing would be powerless without the complicity of sycophantic politicians anxious to capitalize and exploit any topic with a political correctness potential. Gazan and her cohorts would not have a political soap box to expound their hateful and mendacious rhetoric had our juvenile PM simply followed the legitimate mandate provided by Canada's legal system and allowed the RCMP to do their job at Kamloops and expose the costly fraud of unmarked graves. But of course, in hindsight, that would not have been "respectful" to the sacred indigenous knowing's.

There seems to be no shame in abusing Canadian history, so Leah Gazan goes to town —.even though “the only person in her direct family tree who went to a residential school was her great-grandfather, John LeCaine (1890-1964), who learned skills there which enabled him to live a very fulfilling life.”
