On this National Day For Truth and Reconciliation, Canada remembers and honours survivors of residential schools, and the Indigenous children who didn’t make it home.

  2. These are graves of Indigenous Canadian?? children who died over 100 years ago, by whatever reasons
    – including sickness, accidents, pandemic over many years.
    – They were buried where they lived, the residential school.
    – It's not something like the ongoing genocide in Tibet or Xinjiang, China??.

  4. Christians kids in public schools under Trudeau liberals today face similar discrimination what indigenous kids faced. Stripping away their culture and values and deamonizing them for not assimilating with far left pseudo liberal values.
