#AlJazeeraEnglish #Canada #Children #School
The foundation of Canada’s “human rights” political program.
If these children were white,theywould be calling for the destruction of this torture chamber calling itself a school, tear it down.and have an inquiry . Don’t let the Canadiang sweep this under the table like it usely does in cases like this.somebodies have to stand accountable for this attempt at genocide of our true Canadians.
CANADA, AUSTRALIA, AMERICA. This was and is still genocide. This was a deliberate act of anilating indigenous peoples around the world.
Stealing their land then putting up monuments claiming that nothing was there before they stole it.
Until there is truth/reporations there can be no reconciliation.
Australia America ….. these European settler colonisers have done so much harm to so many indigenous people’s over the years , and they are ” civilised ” ?!!?!!
As an indigenous woman thank you Aljazeera🙏
Canada is still very racist. I had bananas and firecrackers thrown at me and called the n word for just walking in town called Dunnville. All I had to do was wear a hoodie and have dark skin. That triggered someone so much that they wanted to harm me.
Shame on humanity
Anyone ever heard about the so called kidnapping of 1964 of children by queen and Prince Phillip in the same school
Genocide. Apologize? Just get back from where you come from. Murderous bunch of coyotes.
The reason why you must be an Athiest if u are a christ!@n
🐊 😭
Hahaha our innocent little cousin just got exposed for being a shameful creep!!!!
wow, i don’t know Canada is a genocide country. i think the human right was in your blood before
The legacy of white man
What do they have to say?? “We are sorry”
Om shanti om🙏😔💐 May their souls rest in peace. Condolences to their families. So sad innocent souls. Heartbreaking.
At mean time Canada is accusing China for genocide, when a thief presumes others must be thief too.
QUESTION
All the Christians who participated in this abuse.. as recently as the 90s do you think God wants you in Heaven
What God would that ne ?? Remember when God made the world and all the living things in it he saw that it was good . Then he had another brain fart and decided to make man in his own image to enjoy it all . Does that mean he is a mentally challenged freak who lives on the misery of others ? Is this what the church , especially Catholics , learned from this, given the the atrocities they have performed since thier inception ? Crusades , witch hunts , helping with the holocaust etc etc . Simply asking for a friend who hasn’t got a computer but inquiring minds want to know . Think about it . We could have been perfect like the world he created with all wonderful living things . Instead He created us with the built in hatreds . He must really hate what he created .
You can call whatever you like. there are still million of living Uyghurs but in this … a truly genocide.
Don’t be fooled. This is not to be blamed on “Canada” or Canadians as a whole. This is the work of religion and its power over innocent people (both white and indigenous). Countless generations brought up in an ongoing Christian rhetoric that promoted “spreading the good word” as a way to influence people to think they are doing god’s work (small ‘g’ on purpose), only to end in atrocities like this. A Catholic brainwashed Canadian past that still to this day funds Catholic schools adding to cultural divisiveness, when all schools should be secular (non-religious). Only when the world finally becomes Atheistic, will we live in peace.
That’s true is not done by ordinary people, but by religious leaders..
Why don’t the white give Canada back to the natives is stolen property .I thought Canada is rule by laws what a joke.
Thank you Aljazeera for reporting this. Western media has always been hiding this matter. Strong racism and genocide is happening in Canada.
G.E.N.O.C.I.D.E
This is sad my heart is broken
No words can fix this only actions!
What were the causes of the deaths? Are we jumping to conclude it was abuse?
And they call canada a champion of human rights.what a shame.
Shame on canada 🇨🇦
I hate to say this, but they need to investigate ALL these former schools. There are way more children buried than what is now supposed. Just tragic!
it’s not a just a chapter in history. indigenous women and children are going missing every single day and no one is talking about it.
CHANGE THE TITLE TOR RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL.
It’s just a children’s graveyard.
Sorry nothing special here it happened all over the world.
Every community in Canada has a children’s Graveyard.
It’s just the way it was.
God help us for all we have done to each other
In this world it has police, militar , child protection , scientist but non has a solucion to humanity … only abuse and killing , god please help us
Fuckn Sinester, I’m sick to my stomach. Fed up with this Godforsaken planet and disgusting Humans
The school operated for almost 90 years, obviously there would be children dying from disease and natural sicknesses. Mellow out people with thinking all these children were murdered.
This is the re education camp now exist in China. Who knows how many dead there. Injustice still happening today.
no its not, one is resolving domestic islamic radicalisation and separatism issues , the other one is pure hatred and genocide because of racism , the former is a fabricated lie made up by the actual genocide committers who intend to destabilise xinjiang region for nothing but geopolitics and contain China from raising as a non white super power , so shut it
@SiCh Chilli the majority always fear thr others amd wont accept multi culturalism. Its haponeing everywhere. No worries, you are not alone in your bias judgement.
No surprises here, NONE
Shame on Canada and every country that has such a history. That’s shameful
I understand the hate and frustration, but let’s not turn this into a hate against anyone’s religion or who they decide to believe in. If you are catholic then be catholic. But do not rewrite history by casting out a group of people.. That is the total opposite of what should be truly learned here!!
This is a part of my countries past that deeply saddens me. No words, this just hurts. I cannot even begin to fathom the pain this has brought upon so many Indigenous families.
This is Canada
Don’t be fooled by these government corporations. they’re little inquiry was a white wash as to what really happened. Canada has been at war with us since the crown claimed the land. These were prisoner death camps for children, Curtesy of the united Catholic church, the rcmp, the government of Canada and the CROWN.
The genocide continues to this day.
All governments have blood on their hands.
When they get caught, they apologize. By the way Canada, US are firmly behind genocide currently being carried out by Israel.
The children are with God in Heaven. He executes judgements and punishment upon the wicked.
it wasn’t just a chapter!!!!
I was born in Guanajuato Mexico 🇲🇽 that’s my birth place
White people 🤔🤔🤔
This is so shameful. Horrorable even. It’s children of this Country. I am so embarrassed of this History, getting here and just intrude on our Indigenous Community, our roots of this Country. How can parents live mentally healthy with their children killed with such indignity.
Oh humans!!!!
盎撒奴隶主种族灭绝匪帮
Barbaric crimes
Muslins know this process because this is happening to them now. And there’s no help for them except God’s help.
Omg.. this is crime against humanity
Is this a surprise? If you dig more sites all over Canada and America , you will find plenty of these. These are the history of the massacres, genocides, land grabs of the indigenous people. Stop pretending surprise. It’s disgusting and disgraceful. That’s the dark evil history of the conquerors. Nothing , absolutely nothing to be proud of . Lots of shame .
If it was a white school we wouldn’t be responding with orange shirts and half flags .. heads would roll.
This happened to USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, where indigenous villagers population are massacred and the British would turn those forests to ranches and farms and trade those woods across the world.
For me, the Spaniards and Portuguese are better colonizers.
Humboldt Broncos ” accident ” resulted in 16 deaths and 13 injuries . The offending driver is serving an 8 year jail term . The law and rules around driving semi trucks was tightened and every year there is a memorial service for the 16 lives lost and those injured .We now witness 215 bodies of young indigenous children hidden or dumped in a mass grave at this residential school . Somebody or some living people are responsible . Can the Federal government take similar action as they did with the Humboldt incident . The people who murdered these kids need to be found and held to account or it means evil thrives in Canada .Additionally the RCMP under its current commissioner ,Brenda Lucki , and other police forces in Canada have to stop slaughtering Indgenous and black people .WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THIS AND THE DOUBLE STANDARDS AND HYPOCRISY !
RIP little ones.the evil that they do to the innocent.
u must understand that Canada did the exact same thig America, Australia and other nations did to clear the land for their use Germany on 5/29 /21 just apologized for the thousands of death it caused in Africa , Namibia…. many more historical acts were millions lost their live due to European conquest. Belgium just said sorry for the 10 million people killed for King Leopold 10 to 20 million people killed Belgium Congo wow people still suffering from that
This has been happening all over the world of indigenous races..been taken away from their parents and ppl..for what govs say..their own good..only to be sexually abused, beaten, tortured and used . Priests were the worst! Govs need to own it!
Yhey yes🤘💫เย้ เยส😂 ขุดดินเจอหละ
I thought the schools were run by Catholic priests and nuns to force them to become Catholics?! 💔💔💔💔💔😫😫😫😫😫
White sbsorb all colours
Meanwhile jordan peterson: there are no racism here in canada, now cancel me
I can guarantee that this is not the end, an apology & lowering of the flag doesn’t do sh.. for the victims and it’s families, Canada just like the U.S white supremacists & the abdominable Catholic church once again their atrocities come to light, I can guarantee, that there’s more victims in other places, I only pray that the families of the victims get, reparations from the Canadian government & the catholic church, too much evil & blood on their hands.
What blew my mind is these so-called “schools” existed up to the late 1990s!
Oh Canada
We stand on stolen land (my son was taken out of an elementary school assembly for loudly belting out this truth)
True patriot love in all of us command?
Love? Patriot? WTAF does this even mean?
Stolen land. These 215 children are only the beginning of this piece of Truth. There are so many more unaccounted for. Thousands more.
The Queen and Philip took 11 children from residential school and none of these children were ever seen again.
Took them 100 years to be ashamed. And the western countries are screaming at China for dealing with terrorist
Malaysia & Indonesia should also deal with terrorist from China.
Dont worry the Taliban will bring the west to justice… be patience… not a single blood will be forsaken….
Genoc1de evidence！
Why all these done by the British
Just to prevail the power of the white supremcy n dominance
That’s why they trying to maintain the status quo with Commonwealth
We love you guys. The best couples stay blessed
Disgrace
Australian government took 100,000 Aboriginal children from their homes. The Stolen Generation.
My god give them peace 🕊️
US govt wiped out native Indians , Australian govt wiped out Indigenous people. Canada wiped out locals ……. and they say China genocide …….
As we cry over what happened here decades ago, we sit and watch while the same is reproduced in China to the Uighur population of Xinjiang. Will we wait to dig up hundreds of bodies of Uighur children perhaps in 2050? Will we wait and then feel sorry once all is said and done- again? separated from parents and re-educated to become good “Chinese citizens” erasing their culture and identities. The parents dying in internment camps without the children knowing or ever seeing them again. The children dying in Han chinese boarding schools OR surviving to become something they never were. Han Chinese.
Humanity never learns, the Canadian government admits doing this to the indigenous, the US government admits to having decimated the Native American population. 50 years can go by, or more, or less and only the location changes. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
2021 world governments: Sorry for the ethnic cleansing in the past… but when we see it happening again…well we won’t stop it.
Now your honesty will cost your wise image that you have build 😂😂
they were tortured and murdered
how hard is it to understand that no god in whatsoever religion would ever accept or encourage you towards violence, if he/she does, then they are not worthy of the worship.
why do so called religious people have more blood on their hands!
That’s genocide
The more they talk about human rights, yet they are the ones who have taken highest number of human lives across the globe.. A godless Modern western civilization backed by Vatican ideology of Anti-christ.
Disgusting, bring the responsible to justice now. This is unacceptable.
Wallah this is so heartbreaking
Nothing new. Just add it to millions who died under the Roman Catholic Cult. Will be forgetten in a few days then repeated again in the future. People should not blindly follow or believe people of authority.
“If only one man dies of hunger, that is a tragedy. If millions die, that’s only statistics.” – Stalin
Hateful
Have no regard for life
This is now happening with the Uighurs, yet nobody dare to speak against China… Shame on humanity!
It is not the country of Canada that is evil…..it is the catholic church that staffed and ran these places….not the country or the general population….your fight is with the Vatican.
And they call rest of the World.. 3rd world savages!
There have been rumors and witness testimony of child abuse and sacrifice in that part of the world for years. Always feels weird when evidence of conspiracy theories turn up in the press.
Who will be held responsible for this? And will they face justice?
Humans don’t deserve free will
Forced conversion and mass killing in Canadian schools. Sponsored by the church and state. Wow. Now Canada has absolutely no rights to criticize other countries. In my Asian country the west often criticize as poor and allegedly “racist” we NEVER treated our citizen like dogs like the Canadians do. We never did this kind of inhumane crime! We have so much more HUMANITY than you!
