Pikachu face. This is the fault of the media for whipping people up with false narratives like the existence of 'mass graves,' which they later amended to 'unmarked graves.'
I am disgusted by this 'reconciliation' program which does nothing but create racism and divide our country. Yes, Residential Schools oppose our current values, but they were made with good intentions and run by (mostly) devoted workers doing what they thought best. There is no evidence that the death rate in the schools was greater than the same demographic who did not attend at that time. We should acknowledge this history, both good and bad, then move on, rather than dwell on the often-fictional negatives. The USA had a few times more RS than Canada did but are not plagued by this leftist angst. Who benefits from this narrative of hate? Certainly not aboriginals.
