Now tell me why they are not digging the site. ... First Nations will NEVER "allow" it.
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.
If they spent the time and money to put them in coffins, maybe there is something more to this story than you think.
A wooden box is the next to the bare minimum someone can do to bury a person. It's not "big money".
I don't know for sure and neither do you because we don't have a statement from the individual who did the GPR scanning and interpretation.
The individual who did the GPR scanning came with the interpretation. It's their interpretation that there are remains of 215 graves.
... something less sinister than what you're accusing.
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 is even possible that these are 300 year old graves of White folks who died of Smallpox.
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.
The coffins would have been fastened with metal nails, probably iron, and that iron, even if disintegrated, would still be in the soil
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.
Did you read the pdf on the link you cited? I did, and at the bottom it says: "In 1924, a portion of the school was destroyed by fire." ... Maybe all those kids died in a single tragic event
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.
How do you know? See, in the narrative, there are 200+ kids buried there but ... but where did they come from if enrollment wasn't high enough? Did you read the pdf on the link you cited? I did, and at the bottom it says: Enrollment peaked in the early 1950s at 500.
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?
So now you're contradicting your "zero chance" statement again. Jeeze.
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.
MAKE UP YOUR MIND. Did they "find remains of children" or NOT?
They did find graves according the expert who made the GPR scans. These are remains.
Right now, it looks like they're hiding something.
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.
What if the Church gets a Court Order to dig and find it was ...
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.
It will look like "the Indians" are knowingly perpetrating a fraud.
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.
