This brief article provided more facts about the history of the school system, the nature of the graves, and the probable causes of most of the deaths than all the MSM coverage combined.

Be a shame if some night time ambushes got set to catch the terrorists walking up with gasoline.

"May God find me among the wheat, cause I don’t need to building to be with my brothers and sisters in Christ."

Last time I checked, most evangelical Protestants hold their services inside a building. Yes, you can pray anywhere, but communal worship is a standard feature of all forms of Christianity and all religions. Even non-liturgical groups like the Quakers have churches or meeting halls. In fact, they're building one about a block from my house.

It was 150 years ago, and they were trying to bring Indians living in poverty up to the modern. They were not feeling racist, they were feeling like they were human and deserved the opportunity to participate in the modern world.
Like the Spanish conquistadors, the workers at the schools were heroes doing a difficult job.

When the Vikings landed in Nova Scotia, they name they Indians “scraelings” which meant wretches.

He was talking about what took place over 2000 years in Europe, not so narrowly focused on 150 years ago in Canada.

I’ve tracked church burnings since last December. There have been 42 church arson fires this year in the US. Not all were burned to the ground.

The article adds a great deal of clarity to the claim that these children were buried in "mass graves," which suggests some sort of murderous rampage by the administrators of the schools. But the facts are:

1. These were not mass graves, but individual graves whose wooden markers had rotted over time. In other words, we are basically talking about cemeteries, and we do not call cemeteries "mass graves" just because there are a lot of graves in a confined area.

2. There were probably many adults among those buried.

3. For most of their history, these schools operated in an era of relatively primitive medicine, with no vaccines or modern antibiotics. Infant mortality and child morality rates were much higher then than now, and diseases like tuberculosis and the flu - including the Spanish flu - took a heavy toll. (My father lost a brother to the Spanish flu; my younger sister had a congenital intestinal disorder and probably would have died if she had been born fifty years earlier.)

Were there abuses? No doubt, but nothing at all like the scenarios of mass murder - the Nazi analogies - that are being uncritically presented in the mainstream media.

The Vikings were not upholding christian principles when they first encountered the Inuit.

Well, ammo supplies are indeed up and prices are down.

Might as well take advantage of it.

And you are lacking in some basic history. Yes, most do have services in buildings, but they also have services in tents at different times of the years.

And all of these churches came from denominations which were famous for camp meetings, evangelical events and etc. Outdoor revival meetings were famous around the turn of the century. Additionally, when churches were shut down by local bureaucrats, the church4es would hold outdoor meetings near the jail or sheriff’s office.

A building does not make a church, Christ died for the people. We can worship as a group anywhere (sunrise Easter services on hilltops), the building just keeps us dry during the rain.

It’s just an excuse. There were members of the Anti-Canada left who were just looking for a justification for destroying churches. They use the pseudo-excuse of the boarding schools.

trudeau deliberately and intentionally ignored the burnings of the churches.

The left is the same in Canada as in the USA, but I think Canada is closer to its final demise because the people have been well trained by their government to be sheep. If they dump trudeau for what they would call a “conservative” (someone to the right of Bill Clinton, by their standards) they’ll be OK. If they give the pretty-face marxist another term in office, it’s over for Canada.

Prayers for all the parishioners of these burned down and vandalized churches.

May God grant them courage and strength to move forward with rebuilding their Churches.

I am very aware of outdoor revival meetings, but they probably constitute about one one-thousandth of religious services - if that - even in the South. And those events are very dependent upon the weather, and would be impractical for much of the year in many climates. And I’m not sure why holding a service in a tent magically makes it more religious or more authentic.

It’s not just the far left who are hostile to the Christian faith, there are lots of atheists around who talk in terms of people of faith being “a big problem” and how it will be good when we are all gone (I think they mean through natural attrition as most of us are older). These are not wild-eyed Trots toked up on weed but your ordinary middle class Canadians who vote Liberal because their god already came down to earth.

I think the wild-eyed leftists I mentioned are mostly voting for other parties than the Liberals too, just to be clear, they probably vote NDP or Green, or even for their own kind (the Marxist-Leninist and Communist parties of Canada are not banned from elections and can get as many as two or three hundred votes in some urban ridings). I did an experiment once where I registered as an independent and then didn’t campaign, just to find out how many votes a complete outsider would get presumably from mistakes made at the voting booth, or a name choice at random. My vote total was 44, however, I had attended one all-candidates meeting at the university in town and if I subtracted my votes at that polling station, my total was eight. So from that I concluded that an independent with no platform or name recognition would get a very small number of votes at random. So getting back to the 200-300 vote totals for communists, that seems to indicate the presence of that many communist sympathizers in any given urban population of about 100,000 (that being the average size of a federal riding in Canada). Back in the day Winnipeg was known as a hotbed of radicalism and elected communists to parliament between the world wars.

Entire change of subject, but one wonders what the Indians called the Vikings. Maybe blow-ins? Or would that only be the Irish?

Who said anything about more religious or more authentic???

The point is that God doesn’t care if we are in a building or not, He cares that we do not break fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

The Russian Christians held services in the depths of the forests, so that the KGB couldn’t find them. Others have held services in caves, on ships, under bough and on hilltops. The building is not important and Canadians burning of the buildings will not stop one Real Christian from the “gathering together” for worship.

Sin repeats itself via the ignorant. If the Church taught Christianity better, I say as a Catholic, we would be supported by the masses in the streets and the bishops would be spitting facts transparently and courageously...but we didn’t teach well enough and our bishops are cover-yourself cowards, so burning will increase in ignorance.

Kavdlunait (plural) was the Inuit word for foreigner or European, compare modern Greenlandic qallunaaq (”Dane”), formerly spelled ĸavdlunâĸ.
