I saw first hand how CBC reports first nations issues. They only tell part of the story.

Not a fan of Carney, he is a WEF groomed puppet, but CBC is not trustworthy news.

I lived on the Northern Ontario Reserves. I know what goes on up there, and how much corruption happens.

The worst people who are American Indian run the government programs against the American Indians. This is a double betrayal. It is like prisoners of the Soviet Gulags working for the prison guards to get better treatment at the expense of their fellow prisoners.

This is another prime example of reporting from Woke Watch Canada that is totally supported by documented evidence and logic. This article puts a spot light on how the CBC is willing to manipulate and misrepresent the truth in order to be Canada’s indigenous propaganda machine wherein the CBC attempts to falsely label people as “residential school deniers” in order to sell a false set of facts as the truth.

In fact I can attest to the fact that the CBC is actually working to cover up the truth as I filed a complaint with the CBC about errors in their broadcast using the CBC’s own broadcast as grounds for my complaint, only to receive no response. I refiled with the CBC ombudsman who informed me that he would get to it but that was well more than a year ago.

I’ve filed complaints as well, and never heard back. After 27 years of being faithful listeners, we ‘divorced’ them in 2020. It’s painful even to see them pop up on Twitter from time to time.

CBC is a woke cult.

The people who are actually responsible for great evil never pay.

1) the British Government / The Crown

2) The Catholic Church.

The residential school psychological operation is an excuse for the woke government to borrow money from their banker friends and give it to the people publicly promoting a lie.

American Indian and European-descended children were abused by government-run Catholic schools. All manner of physical and sexual perversion and abuse took place and still is. The people who did it never pay the price for their actions.

This is a mind trick to make you guilty by association for something you did not do, to pay money to people who were not abused.

The guilty continue on and the woke agenda moves forward in its mercurial way of forcing falsehoods on the unsuspecting.

Why does the Pope not sell some gold trinkets to pay survivors?

Why does the King of England not sell some gold stuff to pay for reparations?

Because this is a Psy-op to mess with your mind.

Change my mind

To answer the title's question: Why, yes. Yes they are. Residential school denialism occurs whenever someone doesn't fully align with condemning everything about them - a category Carney Sr fits into with first hand knowledge and experience - while elevating all indigenous students who attended them as victims of cultural genocide worthy of a never ending stream of reparation payments. Now, quick: let's legislate this denialism as hate so that we can punish and imprison anyone who dares to disagree.

This 'residential school denialist' phrase invented by demented academics is social poison. The fact anyone takes it seriously is a real concern. Yet more work for the Free Speech Union Canada.

Marxism uses these terms to force compliance.

Certainly this is driven today by the Left and authoritarian types who want to demonize and shut up the opposition (which is people who just want the facts told).

Best part of an excellent article by the indefatigable Nina Green is that residential schools “took in sick, dying, abandoned, orphaned, physically and mentally handicapped children, from newborns to late adolescents, as well as adults who asked for refuge and other forms of assistance.”

Yet BC Premier David Eby calls them “despicable.”

Gosh, I can't imagine why anyone would want to defund the CBC. It is such a national treasure- a source of balanced journalism that presents the full story in all its complexity and nuance... LMAO!!

Imagine if CBC had to provide content people were actually willing to pay for, or advertisers would pay to be on.....image not being fully funded by the woke government pushing the WEF agenda. Goodness.

I second those kudos, Beth, but I do want to point out that credit for the research and analysis here should go to the article's author, Nina Green. Nina is doing what CBC's "journalists" are not (and I suspect they're not even encouraged to do): investigating. And she does it on her own time and her own dime, not costing Canadians a cent. Many other researchers and writers whose articles you'll read here rely to some extent on Nina's background digging. I can't thank her enough, so I wanted to take this opportunity.

The indigenous author, the late Basil Johnson was an orphan taken in by the Jesuits at the Residential School in Spanish, Ontario. He went on to receive a BA from Loyola College in Montreal and worked for many years in the Ethnology Department of the Royal Ontario Museum where he developed a series of Ojibway language courses. His book, Indian School Days, while hilarious, also hi lights the rigorous routine the boys were subjected to. He also wrote books on Ojibway culture and heritage and received an Order of Ontario.

Johnston wasn't an orphan (though many of the students in Spanish were, as he acknowledges). His parents were separated, and he and his mother and his four siblings were living with his grandmother. He'd been attending a local day school until he drew attention to himself by skipping school one day with a friend.

<< The Indian agent and the priest had conferred – with nothing but our welfare in mind, of course – and decided that not even the combined efforts of Grandmother and Mother were enough to look after five children ... >>

Thanks for the information. Good to be precise. I saw him refer to himself as an orphan. Perhaps it was simpler that way. He said he stayed at the school in the holidays because he was an orphan.

No, no, no. That's not how it works. The administration is selective regarding who they criticize and destroy for failing to comply. Their people are always good or mistaken but those they don't like are bad with evil and racist intentions...

Mein Gott...a 'denalist' in the Carney family woodpile, so to speak.

Please pass the popcorn while I pour myself a stiff shot of Rye.

Thanks for this prescient piece - it didn’t take long for the CBC to follow up with a hatchet job on Carney senior.

Seeking the Truth is not denialism if investigated by those non- biased and with nothing to gain. Only the absolute truth matters and without it reconciliation will be denied!

Poilevre should ask Komrade Carney about his Dad's career. Make him comment on IRS educators.

seems like Poilievre is treating this particular issue as a political hot potato. Maybe if he wins we will see some movement. We can only hope.

Denialism is when you deny the government's official story.

1) Man made Climate change

2) Residential School horrors

3) The holocaust

You see, when the government tells a provably false story, or they have no evidence to back their claims, they make up names and harass you into compliance. That is how you know they are lying. The truth is the truth. A lie must be believed by force when people are not participating with the powerful's agenda.
