My grandfather and his brother were in the kamloops residential school and they remember a lot of their time there, they dont recall any atrocities that happened there other than kids being molested by their own families.
Excellent essay Michael, well done. "But Carleton et al do not want their accusations of genocide tested in any court of law or even the court of public opinion." I am sure we would welcome that "test"...but it will never come, because their entire house of cards would come tumbling down...
Well put, Michael; great essay. I especially loved your line “... it is hubristic of them to think that the rest of the world must accept their conceits as summary facts.”
Not only do Carleton and Sinclair (and others) not give us any examples of the misinformation they say is being uttered by “denialists”— they give us no examples of how the ostensible genocide of indigenous people in Canada is “ongoing.” That would be the first thing I'd want to wring out of them: exactly what is Canada doing today to indigenous people that could be construed as genocide? Removing their children from neglectful and abusive homes? Putting indigenous offenders in jail for a few months' vacation from crime (and thereby possibly saving their lives)? Or releasing those offenders early under Gladue so they can assault and/or murder more indigenous women?
In a radio interview after the release of the Making a Killing documentary, Carleton made the bizarre statement that the number of factual errors in the doc was so great that he “stopped counting.” But of course he didn't give a single example of a factual error. And he declared that "denialists" aren't interested in facts or evidence.
I refer to Carleton as the Quisling of academia because he abuses it to advance his activism. He routinely tenders value judgments with no justification.
They made a lie, built on a factual lie(oxymoron I know) at the behest of a political ideology of lies disseminated by divisive lying politicians to NGO idealogies driven by divisive genocidal UN paid lying unelected buerecrates to ruin a country. Crazy eh?

Those who perpetuate the injustice narrative must be first in line to sign over their property to a First Nations band
Holocaust scholars debunk false claims like the ones made by the raised by wolves fantasist who made it to Oprah
The scholars claiming residential schools were genocidal have zero interest in debunking anything ever
Therein lies a telling difference
