If that was the case then there would be documentation of a graveyard behind the school. It's not like the school is 400 years old and somewhere in Buttfuck, Nowhere. People would know about the graveyard.
The school officially reported 51 deaths during its operational time. And now there is a mass grave with over 200 kids behind the school. Nothing was documented. Of course they were trying to hide something. This residential school is 5 minutes away from Kamloops. A city with plenty of official graveyards. And yet these kids weren't buried on one of these.
You are talking about the Catholic Church. They have documentation of all other cemeteries all over Canada. I can go to my local Catholic Church and they will pull out a book with every single soul they buried in their yard since 1700.
This school is not that old. It closed in 1978. That's 43 years ago. People who went to this school are still alive today. And you're telling me "well, maybe they didn't have any documentation back in the day and the wooden markers disintegrated". You could make the argument when the school closed 300 years ago and not 40 years ago.
In 1914 the school reported the first death.
The school is a kilometer away from Kamloops. You can literally run the distance between the school and the city hall in Kamloops in ten minutes or even less. You didn't either bother to look up the location.
The Catholic Church took the kids away to make then Christian. They were Christian in the eyes of the Catholic Church.
What? On-site slaughtering of animals for food? What are these theories. You really think that the staff of the school was slaughtering pigs and cows for meat on school premises?
People don't talk about "the sudden murder of every student attending". Thousands of kids went to this school. And a lot of these former students are still alive today.
People talk about not caring. That the staff didn't care that the kids got sick. They didn't care to provide help. That they didn't provide enough food. They didn't care to document the deaths. They didn't care to inform the parents. And then they hid the bodies in the backyard of the school like nothing happened.
Do you really think that the former students which are still alive today wouldn't know about a graveyard on school properties?
There is and was a church on site and it didn't burn down.
It's not, because the mortality rate of school aged children to the Spanish flu was the lowest of all age groups. The mortality rate of children aged 5 to 19 was about 20 to 30 per 100,000. It was the deadliest for adults (20 to 50) with a death rate of over 1,000 per 100,000 (more than 20 times than the mortality rate for kids) and really old people 65+.
Next you're going to say Covid is really deadly for children.
IF IF IF ... Look. 200 deaths during the Spanish Flu would mean that almost all kids in the school died within a 3 day period. Do you really think that no one would know about this? That no one would ask about the 200 dead kids within 3 days? That no one would write about? Not a priest, not a nun, not a reporter, not a city employee, not a staff member? You might be delusional if you believe that. Especially if you combine it with low mortality rate for children regarding the Spanish Flu.
And I guarantee you that these 200 kids didn't die within 3 days. You pull out these almost impossible theories out of your ass and speculate about them. Maybe there was an asteroid which hit the school and killed everyone? Who knows? Am I right?
Somehow you think that 200 kids died in a short time span 5 minutes away from the city center of Kamloops and yet nobody knows something about it.
Show me one document that shows that schools slaughtered live stock on school premises? Just one and I will believe you.
Another point where this argument falls flat is that radar they used to locate the mass grave, was used to locate coffins and not bones. Do you think that after slaughtering the livestock the remnants of these animals were buried in coffins? Are you retarded?
It was hidden. The school was run by the Catholic Church. An institution which has no issues documenting every body which is buried on their cemeteries, but as soon as they are at fault for something (be it pedophile priests or deaths at residential schools) they lack any documentation. And yet somehow you give this institution the benefit of doubt. It wouldn't be the first time or even a surprise if the Catholic Church hid these dead children, like with any other of their failures.
It wasn't. There was no hospital prior to the school.
Funny how the Spanish Flu killed almost all children of a school though the mortality rate for school aged children was the lowest of all groups.
Here is the most likely scenario and not these made-up stories of yours:
Over several decades over 200 kids died at this residential school in Kamloops. Due to abuse, lack of care, starvation and sicknesses. The staff of the school and the Catholic Church didn't care about these death. They buried these kids in the backyard of the school like garbage, without any documentation. And now we have an undocumented mass grave behind the school.
You can even see how much the Catholic Church cared about the children if you look up the official documentation of deaths at residential schools. Most of the time they didn't even name the kids. All they wrote down how many kids died within a year., but no names and no ages. The Catholic Church and the Canadian government just didn't care about these "savages".
You're making excuses up for a time were even the Prime Minister of Canada wrote letters to his peers that keeping the First Nations on the brink of starvation and moving them to far away communities without arable land is the best way to keep them down. Yet somehow it's not the most likely scenario for you that the Canadian government and the Catholic Church just didn't care about the kids in residential school and that this is the reason why we now have mass graves behind residential schools.
I bet this will be only the beginning. Now the feds will search for these graves on the premises of other residential schools. And they will find them.
