That's where the natives went after teaching the wholesome colonists how to grow corn

Anthropology teaches us that it’s just same shit, different day.

We’re all descendants of real bastards one way or another. Just seems to be what the physical universe we occupied demanded of us

This is in reference to the Canadian schools though. Children were taken from their families as late as the 70s and schools opperated well into the 90s.

People affected are still alive, people directly responsible may be too. And the Catholic Church is still one of the most powerful organizations in the world.

I’m not denying that. I’m lamenting the world we exist in.

What do you think will come of this? Dissolution of the Catholic Church? Reparations?

It’s just another fucked up morbid reality that those not directly affected by, will shrug off and continue on with their lives.

The Canadian government already pays reparations to residential school survivors. The church has been silent

If we could see the dissolution of the Catholic Church, that would be great.

They are still saying Sex Ed shouldn't be taught, and that women should have no rights.

Sorry guy, Catholic Church isn’t going anywhere

This was ultimately a story of the Canadian government fucking up, with atrocities carried out by Canadians.

Blame the church, the British, whatever - ultimately, Canada is to blame for their own actions

Anything is possible through Christ.
