Having worked with and known many RCMP Officers in "O" Division during the 1900,s I can honestly say that they lived up to their motto "Maintain the Right" The likes of Doug Nickson one off the Officers in charge reminded me of Sam Steele the same Mountie of renown a very well known figure in our Canadian history.

Seems to me a great shift occurred when Chief Blackface became P.M., suddenly it seems the Chief of the Mounties became just one more of his bum boys or girls as the case may be just like the other bobblehead fools he has put into cabinet positions.

For those that are not history buffs which sadly includes most mainstream media school board officials, teachers and Indian Chiefs Sam Steel was the man responsible for doing the work of chasing those whiskey traders out, meeting with Chief Sitting Bull after Custers death when they crossed into Canada and guarding the post between the Yukon and Alaska during the Gold rush.

Genocide my ass and I for one have no reason to reconcile with anyone.

The truth will set you free.

Sam Steele, like so many other iconic personalities of Canadian history, has been tragically put in the dust bin of history only to be replaced by false gods of contemporary deception. Tragic.

Ohhhhh it all makes sense now. The trigger needed to usher in UNDRIP.

<< It seems that the claim of a ‘mass grave’ on the former Kamloops Indian Residential School site was timed to ‘nudge’ the approval of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People through parliament — which it did! >>

As reader Kevin Byrne has often remarked here, the Kamloops announcement ALSO resulted in a suspiciously sudden settlement in the day schools class action suit, which had been dragging on for years until the “chance” Kamloops “discoveries” spurred a deal.

So the police will visit “John Robertson, a volunteer councillor in the village of Murray Harbour, P.E.I., which has a population of 282,” and consider his crime of a lawn sign but not get around to looking at the grave site of mass child murder in Kamloops. Dudley Do-Right was never this selective.

Well stated, Michelle. John Robertson is a tragic victim of herd mentality, blatant stupidity and a gross toxic lie perpetrated by what the Don McLean lyric in the popular song, "American Pie" describes as a, "generation lost in space". If stupidity were a crime, this would be a capitol offence.

Good article, Michelle. Made me wonder: has anyone censured Chief Lance Haymond of Kebaowek FN (near Temiscaming) for putting up a huge billboard reading "Every Child Matters: 6509 Recovered. Safe Journey Home" https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/residential-school-children-deaths-numbers-1.6182456 ?? The sign was put up in 2021, but I'll bet it's still up, and a quick check shows that Haymond is still chief.

That's a rhetorical question, right, because we all know the answer. The fact that the Chanie Wenjack lie book and the orange shirt lie book have not been at the very least revised and that they continue to be used as inculculation devices for Canadian children kind of tell us which way the wind is blowin'

Yes, rhetorical (or rather, sarcastic) for sure : )
