Absolutely Not. Even within my own family history research, I verify avsolutely everything. Which brings me to thinking that the Truth & reconciliation website s/b listed as 'fictional'. I personally researched every Kamloops name recorded on it and found them. some of their names, were not even the persons 'real' name. Some the parents signed the death certificates. Some didn't even die IN Kamloops. Some died in their own homes and the majority died of childhood illness. Not one was 'murdered.'
These are the times when Fiction and Fantasy reign over Facts, Whining holds more power than Wisdom, Lies triumph over Logic, Rumours supersede Reason, Tales replace Truth, and Wokeism prevents Waking up!
Quesnel mayor Ron Paull’s wife, Pat Morton, has distributed copies (number unspecified) of *Grave Error* “within the community.” One copy of the book went to the parents of city councillor Tony Goulet, whose father had gone to residential school.
“With my dad going to residential school, she brought up a lot of stuff, let me tell ya. It was contesting that they didn’t exist.”
“While people are allowed to have their opinions, he said, the contents of this book was something different. He found out by forcing himself to read it cover to cover. His parents tried, but couldn’t get through the full collection of assertions.”
And yet … in neither article (nor in the local CBC radio interview with Ron Paull this morning, as far as I heard) was the actual topic of the book – the questionable discovery of graves – even mentioned! Go figure.
Request to CBC: now please interview councillor Tony Goulet and ask him to tell us about some of the things he (apparently) read in the book.
I watched their presentation a year plus ago, in which they claimed to have found graves and expect to find about 40 more than noted in the TR Report. To my eye, it looked like a stage crafted grift, and appeared to traumatized a number of people present, and presumably others watching. They had received in the neighbourhood of 30 million dollars to that point, for the “search”. There appeared to be a good deal of money spent on the performance, which included a lot of counsellors and meetings and debriefings over days before and after, and a large “feast” after. It looked and felt to me like something meant to inculcate a myth at the cost of people’s mental health. Then and since, the chief has indicated a community building that needs to be torn down and replaced with many, many more millions of government funds because it is a reminder. Here is a video of the presentation made for the media:
These so called survivors are all members of the "Chief Speaking Bull" tribe, characterized by forked tongues and skilled in indigenous stage craft. To quote an Apache proverb, "listening to a liar is like drinking warm water."
"A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar."
"Most people don’t really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth." – sometimes attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche, sometimes to Augustine of Hippo. (I saw it in a meme online with no attribution, so I'M going to attribute it to Facebook : )
I thought that came from Mark Twain ??? Your right, of course, sadly. We seem to be the only animal species with the capacity for complex intellectual thinking and action, a trait, unfortunately, which is seldom used.
We are all indebted to Nina Green and I thank her for the meticulous research she is doing. The real tragedy is the non-response of our federal government. When all this fake news of Kamloops graves hit the fan the only thing our 'illustrious' elected MPs could think of to do was vote to declare Canada a genocidal nation. Any leader with even an ounce of brains would have called for an enquiry. And where was the RCMP in all of this? Indian leadership, on the other hand, didn't waste a minute in turning this enormous scam into a cash cow.
"Denialism is violence. Denialism is calculated. Denialism is harmful. Denialism is hate," Kimberly Murray the Government's specially appointed interlocutor on residential schools said in June 2023. "Denialism is "the last step in genocide."
The distribution of the book "Grave Error," is therefore, according to her logic, genocidal. Expect it to be banned soon. Below is part of a news item (March 21, 2024) that shows the hyperbole and ideological rhetoric that will I believe lead to the banning of this book.
Quesnel's city council voted unanimously to denounce "Grave Error," a book the Lhtako Dene Nation says downplays the harms of residential schools, after the First Nation and councillors raised concerns the mayor's wife was distributing it to residents in the city about 630 kilometres north of Vancouver.
The Lhtako Dene Nation said statements in the book like "the truth has been turned into a casualty" deny the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by "implying that cultural genocide did not occur" in the residential school system.
"It just rips your stomach out," the First Nation's administrator Maynard Bara said on Wednesday. "It's just absolute bigotry and hatred."
Facts and evidence do not matter. Maynard Bara says the book is hatred. Kimberly Murray would say it's denialism, therefore genocidal. Under the Federal Government's proposed Online Harms Bill, I could be cited by an anonymous reader and charged with a hate crime for even printing this, as could the authors of this Woke Watch article for printing evidence against the accepted narrative.
This brings to mind some newspaper interviews with IRS "survivors" in the lead-up to Orange Shirt Day a couple of years back. One of the former students said that he'd spent most of his adult life in and out of jail, and/or "blacked out" from alcohol abuse, such that "most of my memories were told to me." I'll try to track down that reference in my notes, and will edit it in here if I locate it.

Wish there were more like you, Teena.

Enough already!
Wake up Canada!
As our dear PM Blackface said, “I remember the events differently”
*Grave Error* is in the news in BC:

That is hilarious. Looks like a clown convention.
These so called survivors are all members of the "Chief Speaking Bull" tribe, characterized by forked tongues and skilled in indigenous stage craft. To quote an Apache proverb, "listening to a liar is like drinking warm water."
