Often overlooked is the establishment of these residential schools were part of the original treaty obligations between the First Nations and the government of Canada. At the time the First Nations leaders recognized that their way of life was gone forever and that next generation needed an education and trade skills in order to fit in the new economy.
I support France Widdowson in her fight for the right to speak and debate these issues. With the Special Interlocutor now calling for "urgent consideration for legal mechanisms to address denialism in both civil and criminal law", we need Frances' strong voice. Freedom of speech is at risk for all Canadians. We need the real truth about Kamloops to be revealed now....the presence of a single grave has not been confirmed. We all need to speak out against this Indigenization to save our freedoms and our country!
Censorship has become the new norm in Canadian Universities.. "Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom - and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is a human right and the foundation upon which democracy is built. Any restriction of freedom of speech is a restriction upon democracy."
For a rational, intelligent person, it must be hell to argue with people who are either stupid or politically driven. Why should this woman's valuable time be taken up fighting such nonsense?
Sadly, this discussion has received only 498 views on UA-cam as of June 23, 2023. There should be thousands of views just from Canada, IMO. It is disappointing to see how close-minded Canadian academia as well as Canada's government and institutions have become since 2016 on this issue, as well as many others. At the risk of being labelled a "denialist" (the latest Canadian hate crime du jour), I can understand the desire that drove the RS policies back around the time of Canada's founding in 1867 and later, as the western territories joined into confederation. While there were certainly some bad actors, the overall goals were noble despite the flaws. Interesting that today, we face similar challenges as the school system is trying to once again socially engineer society. Again, the same lack of nuance is thrown at parents who object to the unnatural and radical gender ideology that has appeared out of nowhere in recent years. Any challenges to this new orthodoxy are labelled as being against the entire LGBT group. This view that every ideology, religion or ethnicity represents a monolithic bloc, and that a criticism of any segment of these blocs is an attack on all its constituents, signals the end of any reasoned dialogue on almost any cultural issue. Not a good sign for the future of a multi-cultural society like Canada, in my opinion.
There are a lot more than 5 sensible, honest people in Canada, it is just that the idiots tend to be more vocal ... and more visible like our "beloved" PM.
"Colonialism" is an enormous subject and huge in its continuing impact in all kinds of ways. Colonialism in "settler colonies" like Canada and Australia, two of the so-called "White Dominions," was very different in it nature that what transpired in, say, India or Nigeria. In Western Canada much of the brunt of colonialism impacted Indigenous societies mostly in the twentieth century. The resource takeover is an ongoing process, not some relic from history. The host is far too glib in his explanation of colonialism as some universal pattern that is over and done with. And then there are the questions that arise in "de-colonization," a big topic for, for instance, some of the BRICS countries, the so-called Global South and the so-called Non-Aligned countries during the Cold War and after. George Manuel's book The Fourth World, does a good job of applying the principles of the Non-Aligned movement to Indian Country.

Thank God for the voice of reason.

Finally, some sanity to disrobe The Indigenous Drama Money-making machine.

Frances is one of about five sensible, honest people in Canada.

I hope Denis Rancourt is on your list
I’m not sure which side of the debate this is on, going in.
Oh thank god

Absolutely savage.

The conquerers have a right to all the land and all the resources they conquered
Put a sock in it and go flip some burgers Mrs Widdowson
Could you link to any hard data that counters anything she has said?

glad to hear the elders drum her out of Quesnel and cheers to MT Royal. Good heavens lol
A blank mind and an empty mouth response to an important nvestigation. And this is the real problem.
