Seems like you can't read. I said that the chance of finding remains is pretty much zero.
Also, the faults created by the coffins have a unique signature on the radar. These faults don't "decay", unless the earth is moved. This is also how they found these unmarked graves. By scanning the underground for faults created by coffins.
Your comment just shows that you don't want to know the truth. You make up impossible scenarios and when they are disproven you shift to "the natives should be happy we abused them and someone other". And now you're talking about Trudope training Chinese soldiers, which has nothing to do with the topic.
Even if they found the skeletons of the 215 children and provided 100% proof that they died through the abuse of the Catholic Church and Canadian government, you would just close your eyes and argue that all of it is made up. Because going against it is all you have.
And what is wrong about that? I already showed you that it only takes about 20 years until a human skeleton decomposes to dirt. If these kids died 80 or 100 years ago, the chance that there is anything left of them is pretty much zero.
Give them time. It's the First Nations decision to dig or not to dig. It's a delicate subject to dig up graves of kids.
Dude, do you really think they weren't buried in a coffin or casket? They would have used a cheap wooden box as coffin back in the days.
Or for faults created by the collapse of coffins when they decay. A wooden box doesn't hold up long under six feet of dirt. It collapses after a few months and creates a fault (which is nothing else than a change in density).
You would only accept dead bodies as evidence.
Let's assume that these graves are 80 or 100 years old. They dig them up and find some nails from the coffins, maybe a hairpin and some buttons from clothes. But no indication for an old structure or the remains of dead animals. Everything else is decomposed and long gone. Would that be enough for you?
I already proved to you why the Spanish Flu couldn't have killed 200 kids at this residential school. FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THE SCHOOL DIDN'T EVEN HOUSE 200 KIDS AT THAT TIME. IT WAS HOME TO ONLY 60 KIDS. Something you choose to ignore.
It depends on how long they are buried there, but it surely points to several decades ago. The chance thus to find bones is pretty much zero. Maybe, as pointed out above, metal objects (nails from the coffins, hairpins) or other material which doesn't deteriorate as fast as organic stuff could be found.
Already told he several comments ago. The graves of First Nations kids. And they didn't die all at once from the Spanish Flu. They died over decades. And as we can easily see how the Catholic Church or the Canadian government at that time treated Frist Nation people, it's easy to count one and one together. Just look at official death records of First Nation kids at residential schools. Often just a number, no name. If there is a name, it's a name given to the kid by the school and not their birth name.
It's not like the Catholic Church never hid bad things they did? Am I right?
Do you really think that an company that performs GPR can't distinguish between graves and "an old structure". Those two don't have the same echo.

"This past weekend, with the help of a ground penetrating radar specialist, the stark truth of the preliminary findings came to light – the confirmation of the remains of 215 children who were students of the Kamloops Indian Residential School."
And since ground penetrating radars don't pick up bones, you can be sure that they picked up the same thing just like on other sites. Faults (or density changes).
Now this is a reckless statement. They allowed if multiple times on other locations. Not that far away from me is the Battleford Residential School where 74 graves of were excavated with the approval of the First Nations. These graves were unmarked and the deaths of these children at the school were not documented.
A wooden box is the next to the bare minimum someone can do to bury a person. It's not "big money".
The individual who did the GPR scanning came with the interpretation. It's their interpretation that there are remains of 215 graves.
Me accusing them of hiding deaths at the school over several decades is LESS SINISTER than your theories of hiding mass causality events like "200 dead kids within three days and burying them with no documentation".
It's not possible, because the city isn't 300 years old. The first mention of Kamloops as an outpost where only a couple people lived in is from 1812. That's 209 years ago. Also the school was build on an empty plot of land just outside the city.
I kinda have the feeling that if they find nails in the dirt, you would make up stories how these couldn't have been from coffins.
They didn't die in the fire. No one died in the 1924 fire at the Kamloops Residential School. Here is the weekly issue of the Kamloops Sentinel from the last week of 1924 (the fire occurred on December 24th 1924):

The fire destroyed parts of the girls quarters, but the sisters and the girls who slept there "got out safely".
If there was ever a mass death event at the school, it would have been reported by the local newspaper. You can go through the archives yourself, but you won't find anything.

We were talking about the time the Spanish Flu was in Canada, so between 1918 and 1920. During that time the school housed only 60 to 70 students. I already provided proof for that in this comment:

I even talk about how the school expanded more and more and peaked at over 500 students in the 50s. Do you really think that if there was a mass death event at the school that the local news would never report on it? That the principal or the sisters at the school would never write the government about it? There are hundreds of letters between the provincial / federal government and the school beginning from 1916. All of them archived:

And not a single one of them is talking about hundreds of dead kids, like in any of your scenarios. Why is that?
It's not a contradiction. Every time I say "pretty much zero chance" you interpret it as "absolute zero chance". These two are not equivalent. The chance that you win the lottery with one tip is pretty much zero, but you can still win it.
They did find graves according the expert who made the GPR scans. These are remains.
You think that they are hiding something. It's kinda self telling that you have no issue of them accusing to hide something but as soon as someone is accusing the Church or the government to hide something, you are coming out with impossible scenarios to explain over 200 graves.
It's not their land. They won't get one and they will never ask for one.
You know what, when you can accuse the First Nations, we can accuse the Church too. So IF THE CHURCH DOESN'T GET A COURT ORDER TO DIG, THEY WANT TO HIDE SOMETHING. Easy as that.
You want them to look like a fraud, that's why you are making up these scenarios like "200 dead kids within 3 days during the Spanish Flu", "200 dead kids due to polio", "300 year old graveyard of white people".
None of them is plausible. There weren't 200 kids at the school during the Spanish Flu, the local newspaper never reported a mass death event at the school and Kamloops is just 200 years old.
Maybe you should start to provide proof for the claims you make.
