'This is a country built on genocide': Canadians appalled by 751 unmarked graves - Yahoo! News, 24 June 2021

Yesterday they ran this same story with the headline:
'What kind of monsters would celebrate Canada Day this year?'
Adding:
Cowessess First Nation has confirmed that 751 unmarked graves have been found on the grounds of the former Saskatchewan Marieval Indian Residential School.
'Now we have evidence'
Of what, I wonder. There's no evidence that the kids were abused. The number is an estimate based on having actually found half-a-dozen graves.
Most of those buried on residential school grounds probably died over a hundred years ago. People died. Kids died. What shape were they in by the time they got to school? Even today 80-90% of Canadian foster kids are Native. Nobody seems to want them ... not even other Natives.
Regardless, the media and Native leaders have presented a particular version of what happened and that has provoked a strong response.
One of half-a-dozen churches torched:
Catholic church north of Edmonton destroyed in fire - Alex Antoneshyn,

EDMONTON -- A fire that destroyed a Catholic church north of Edmonton early Wednesday morning is being considered suspicious by police.
Firefighters were called shortly after 3 a.m. on June 30 and three hours later, were still extinguishing hot spots at St. Jean Baptiste Parish.
Despite help from neighbouring community fire departments, the Roman Catholic church on Morinville's main thoroughfare had been badly damaged.
Across the street, local residents watched as a century of history crumbled before their eyes.
Construction on the church finished in 1907 and it hosted its first mass on Jan. 1, 1908. It was named after Father Jean Baptiste Morin, who led several Francophone families to the Morinville area from Quebec in 1891.
Our CBC only carried this story for a few hours so they could get back to very important accusations of 'genocide', while many Native leaders and their brokers called for Canada Day to be cancelled.
