Yes, Churches were burned and millions of tax dollars disappeared into the various Band's tribal accounts, never to be accounted for with invoices that mattered. However, the much more serious and devastating result of Kamloops was the adoption of UNDRIP by the Parliament of Canada. That was the disaster that will be with this Country for eternity. Because it was adopted on a unproven story with not one shred of reliable proof UNDRIP must be rescinded by the Parliament of Canada immediately.
As long as the Kamloops Band is allowed to decide when and if the RCMP can do their jobs and investigate these alleged murders and other crimes, there will continue to be cover-up.
A lot of people are going down in flames .. they just don't know it yet.
Thanks for the article and the reminder about "The Knowing" documentary, Michelle.
I just suffered through episode 1 (ick, ugh), and I should mention that Talaga doesn’t actually say she was at Kamloops “before the Kamloops announcement was made." She just references participating in three days of ceremony, and would no doubt like us to think she was the only outsider there because no one else cared enough to bother (when in fact only she and two other chosen journalists were invited, and all others were told to stay away).
Talaga (as cited by Michelle): "And it all started here. The spirits of these children brought us here."
Yep, the spirits of the children. And the magic of email and the internet.
"It was like a call to all of us to start searching for our loved ones," Talaga says.
They needed a "call" to suddenly realize how important those loved ones were to them; unfortunately there was no caller ID.
I feel rather ill now after watching that whole 45 minutes of schlock, and I don't see myself being able to watch the other episodes.
To cheer myself up, I went back to read Peter Best's wonderfully scathing review of Talaga's book (also titled "The Knowing"): https://thereisnodifference.ca/?page_id=2358 He doesn't hold back.
If people have a 'premium' account it is ad free - free for first 7 days then ~$6.00 a month after. The free version is doable, but annoying, with 4 or 5 ads every 10 mins or so.
Thanks Michelle. I remain blissfully ignorant of how these streaming services work : )
I was writing in a bit of a fog last night when I made my earlier comment, and I just realized that I was citing the very same words that you included in your article (I've edited them out). I think I was commenting and watching "The Knowing" at the same time; my bad. I should take up knitting if I want to multi-task.
Canadian society has been conditioned to be empathetic the moment we hear a story of harm being done. We have not learned that when an outrageous allegation is made which is a catalyst for a paradigm shift in how we understand ourselves as a nation, we must ask "where's the beef?" Otherwise, we are sitting ducks for the next charlatan that comes along taking $$$ from the public treasury and defaming our collective reputation on a say-so.
IF there are mass graves at adjacent to the Kamloops Residential School, wouldn't the parents, siblings, relatives want bodies to be recovered and given a proper burial? Wouldn't the stories of the alleged children and their NAMES be part of what gets investigated? When this story first emerged in May 2021 I gave it a pass, and initially deferred to the mainstream media and politicians who were reporting the 'atrocity.'
But with time, questions emerge and as you have rightly punctuated above: Where's the proof? The traumatized students who attended residential schools that were blindsided by the mass graves story need answers, as we all do. Blind faith in a catastrophic narrative is not going to help Canadians come to terms with the kind of nation we are. And being gaslighted won't help either. Let's have a proper investigation, starting with some shovels, in the clear light of day.
Thank you, Ray. So true. I feel terrible for the former students who had a decent time there and were horrified to hear such news; also for the priests, nuns, workers, many who dedicated their lives to the little people they helped - now pariahs. Some live in fear of their lives. And the young people, Indigenous and non alike - who wonder what horrible wretches got away with this all these years; who feel enraged that their parents 'allowed' such a thing to happen, when there is no evidence that any of the claimed 'mass graves/215' happened at all. And yes, Canucks are too naive and mostly too nice. Our sense of compassion and decency has really been played.
Thanks Michelle. Well stated. It's as if we are watching The Wizard of Oz, and when the Wizard's ghostly face (being operated by machinery by a man behind a curtain) tells Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion - once Toto pulls a curtain back - to "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" - many Canadians today would heckle anyone who tried to pull the curtain back to see what is really going on. We have grown too lazy as a culture. Many want to believe that no one could ever have a political agenda to shape or control us. The nightly mainstream news has been venerated, and so is viewed as only deserving of our devotion and not our scrutiny. Ooh Canada.
This is in furtherance of a key globalist agenda item; so NONE of the globalist-controlled tools (e.g., the MSM, politicians, the judiciary) is about to get in its way, facts & evidence be damned.

Agreed. 100%. How UNDRIP Jumped the Shark On the Graves of Innocents https://medium.com/@UndauntedArtz2/how-undrip-jumped-the-shark-on-the-graves-of-innocents-079b71e4dbc2

is this Knowing documentary online anywhere?

I think you just sign up for a free account. My husband has an account that is somehow ad-free, so I just used his.
Let us know if you make it all the way through. Some type of calmant may be required.
If people have a 'premium' account it is ad free - free for first 7 days then ~$6.00 a month after. The free version is doable, but annoying, with 4 or 5 ads every 10 mins or so.

Your article is excellent and much appreciated.
i have wine.

Excellent overview. I will pass this on to others who might be open to revisiting their 'certainties' about the claims of genocide.
This is in furtherance of a key globalist agenda item; so NONE of the globalist-controlled tools (e.g., the MSM, politicians, the judiciary) is about to get in its way, facts & evidence be damned.
Talaga is receiving an honourary award of some sort this week (June 12) in Toronto from the Canadian Journalism Foundation. The mind boggles.
Lord love us. This is dismal news.
Thanks for the heads-up, Warren! https://www.indigenouswatchdog.org/update/cjf-honours-tanya-talaga/
