The media and Trudeau have yet to return to reality
Truth and untruth and reconciliation and orchestrated antagonism are not the same things
The controversy over the alleged surreptitious burial of 215 Indigenous children who had supposedly died at the Kamloops Indian Residential School has been extremely damaging to this country, because it has naturally inflamed the grievances of natives and incited the guilt of a huge number of Canadians, but is based on suppositions unjustified by the known facts. As with other contemporary controversies, dissent pending receipt of evidence tends to be greeted by a storm of reproach that the individual who is unconvinced of the conventional explanation for these alleged graves is not only a ”grave-denier,” like someone who denies the overwhelmingly documented horrors of the Holocaust, but is also an anti-Indigenous racist and even a closet apologist for genocide against the native peoples of Canada.
In an address to the Western Association of Broadcasters in Banff two weeks ago, in response to a question from the president of the association, I criticized both the prime minister and most of the Canadian media for falling in behind the story with insufficient evidence. In the case of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who had previously caused this country falsely to be labeled guilty of genocide at the United Nations, he embarrassed and humiliated Canada by lowering official flags, including the embassies to befuddled foreign powers, for the unheard-of duration of nearly six months.
