      This article gets some credit for not trying to downplay how awful the residential school system was. It lays out some hard rough facts at the end.

      Here’s what we know: PostTruth Media, owned by American interests, is still trying to protect colonialism by trying to frame things in a conspiratorial light

      I’m shocked I tell you shocked! Well, not really that shocked to be honest. The fact that they apparently found 84254678 grave sites in the first couple months was kinda telling, sounded more like a company creating more business for itself.

      So roughly $200 million taken from the fund created as a result of these Grave Claims.

      $200 Million and not a single bit of proof.

      What’s funny is there’s been no evidence of any burial sites for 5 years. There are STILL people who act like you’re a conspiracy theorist if you point it out it was a hoax from the start.

      Reconcile that with the “truth.”

      Empathy for any Indigenous issue is totally gone from me. Nobody will ever be held accountable for the damage that these false claims did.

      Genuinely confused here: why do we keep referring to them as “gravesites” if no bodies have been found? Why do they remain labeled as such?

      The government lied. What’s new. Stop believing everything the government puts out.

      Some extra fuel for colonial guilt so everyone was too passive to speak up about immigration being out of control.

      Would love to see the receipts for how that $216 mil was spent. Wonder how many shiny new pickup trucks and ATVs were needed for these investigations.

      Trudeau laying a teddy bear at this non existent gravesite for a photo op was peak Trudeau.

      So when heard about this I said okay this could be possible give them the benefit of the doubt, that terrible things could have happened in the past. So they look around waste millions of dollars find nothing. Now what? They money is gone, and still going when do we say, hey stop, that’s enough. While I’m not going to say none of what is claimed is untrue, we have to come to some realization that this isn’t productive.

      Certain groups of people fly off the handle if you “deny”, *in their mind*, that this happened; or even suggest that the figures are less than they suggest they are. Most accused “deniers”, that I’ve seen, are simply *asking for evidence*; which is the backbone of our legal system. If somebody makes an assertion, the burden of proof is on them.

      If this did happen, as it has been said to have happened, then I would absolutely want there to be some sort of accountability for the perpetrators. I just need there to be an amount of tangibile proof that is equal to the accusation. Even if we’re not holding to the standard of “beyond all reasonable doubt”, I could even be somewhat satisfied by “balance of probablilites”; but, at present, I don’t think we’re even seeing that much.
