CBC News chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton is facing scrutiny after making a false statement about the discovery of Indigenous residential school sites.
The cbc also continues to suggest that 150 thousand indigenous students were forced to attend residential schools which has also been proven to be a lie.
I don't trust a thing that the MSM and Liberal politicians say. They are traitors in my mind and will do anything to foment divisiveness. All the evidence I've studied indicates the Residential School mss graves issue is a disgraceful hoax designed to divide us an transfer wealth. It's sickening.
Not a single unmarked grave. Not a single missing or murdered child. Not a single case of abuse in Kamloops. Just one very happy reunion of graduates. Time to switch narratives. These free boarding schools were essential for indigenous children who, in many cases, would otherwise have had no education.
Kamloops was actually started at the request of an Indigenous chief- long before BC joined Canada. The problem was the Indian Act- it prevented any of the schools that already existed acting independently and forced them under federal jurisdiction and funding. The Anglicans and Protestants throughout the Commonwealth didn’t believe indigenous people could be educated. Sadly some didn’t even believe they had a soul. But the Catholics did. Sublimeus Deus (1537), a Papal Bull, that sparked King interest in the ‘reformation’ explicitly protected Indigenous people. This is why there were more Catholic schools. Biggest mistake the Catholic Church made was thinking the Crown was going to fund these schools. They should have shut them down as soon as the Indian Act was in place.
It is one thing not to have one's facts straight and another to outright lie. It is the latter that Barton has done and deserves nothing less than a good firing.
Hopefully that will happen Tuesday morning..along with the mass exodus from the CBC..but hey!! there will be job opportunities for some of the 600 journalists and support staff that Catherine TAIT laid off right after Justin paid their CEOs huge bonuses!!..(hope the ALL voted for Pierre!!)
When did it become the job, or right of the liberal paid news media to dictate what issues a federal election should be run on? No media can be nonpartisan when they are funded by the government and not their viewership.
Yeah, keep on lying and we will keep on catching you with the help of real independent journalists. Barton is just an example of an over bloated pig at the trough caused by the Liebrals throwing huge amounts of cash at them
I’m waiting for someone to do the following deep dive: what percentage is the 150000 indigenous people that attended residential schools of the total population of Indigenous people over the same period? If we were going to say the amount of deaths they claim are in fact true how does the rate of death 4000(?)/150000 (3%) compare to the rate of death on reserves today? In the general population over the same period? What about the rate of death for Duplessis children? How does the, on reserve, rate of incest, abuse, trafficking children compare to those claims? And how many billions have been claimed and given not just directly but through various campaigns ? There’s a guilt tax that’s going on and the faucet needs to be turned off. I’m so tired of everything ill in this world being blamed on the Catholic Church. Things for children, especially pedophilia and trafficking is WORST when society doesn’t have a moral compass.
- How were children in regular Canadian schools treated in similar years?
In the 1960s and into the '70s, children who misbehaved, were inattentive, or showed disrespect for the teacher were strapped with a leather strap, sent to the corner with dunce caps on, etc. I especially remember this from elementary years, ages 10 to 12. Mostly boys. Not infrequent. One boy, in particular, who was unkempt and perpetually ill prepared for the school day and, frankly, not that interested in being there, was a regular and sometimes gleeful recipient of the female teacher's ire. It was his party-piece, if you will, to liven a monotonous day. Other than occasional meltdowns, she was a brilliant teacher. I have heard of other teachers in other schools drilling fingernails into children's heads, slapping knuckles with the edge of rulers, and the like. I'm fairly confident that corporal punishment, shaming, and more discrete meannesses were commonly perpetrated by teachers against students. Children didn't go home and tattle on teachers, either, or they might expect a second punishment from a parent for acting up in class. This all sounds cruel by today's standards, but it was how things were for the baby boomer generation.
- How were children in paid residential schools treated?
That is, with tuition fees paid by parents and therefore, presumably, with enough funds to do a proper job? I don't know what it was like in Canada. However, in countries where professional parents sent children away to school, I have heard of significant mistreatment by teachers and bullying by other students. Being away from parents makes children more vulnerable, even rich kids at posh schools and in recent times.
None of this is to say that any of these were acceptable. However, one must compare the treatment in residential schools to other schools of the same time period. Even average Canadian schools of the time would not meet today's standards or ideals.
My great uncle was a missionary and was heavily involved in Residential schools in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. People don't know that the residential schools doubled as a hospital. Indigenous people would bring in their sick to be cared for by the nuns. If they do find any bones it may possibly belong to patients and not students.
Very good point! This is something people do not think of. I worked in Swaziland. The school and clinic were always connected in remote areas. It was about not duplicating limited resources. Something people don’t get today.
Barton, Cochrane helping the Fiberals elect Mark Carney. Central Canada better give their head a shake. Western Canada will not tolerate their "head office center of the Canadian universe" mentality anymore.
Barton shows her lack of moral judgement by posting lies, and attempting to discredit Rebel News. She is a leech in the public system, and actually has surpassed Singh in magnetizing herself to public tax dollars....
The basis for Barton's over-the-top attacks on Ms Humphries are clearly evidence of the overt racism. Bartonshould have been canceled long ago when she reached her best before date
How long are Canadians going to tolerate inflammatory media reports regarding the historical abuse and subsequent death of children in residential schools? The schools were atrocious, but today they are history and a lesson for the present. I am a white Canadian protestant male of British, scotch and French heritage. My upbringing was relatively privileged, yet every single family on both sides of my family lost children due to childhood illness. It was not until the post war prevalence of vaccines and antibiotics, that families expected all their offspring to survive childhood.
The cbc also continues to suggest that 150 thousand indigenous students were forced to attend residential schools which has also been proven to be a lie.
100%. Residential schools were a good thing for the most part. I'm sick of the charade.
Exactly

Rosemary was read the riot act after Carney reemed her out.

Couldn’t have have happened to nicer person.
I THOUGHT she's been walking funny..like she wiped her ass with sandpaper..
Carney reemed her out? - that I'd like to see.....

Catholics have been educating indigenous youth from the early 1600’s. They merit praise, not libelling as genocidaires.
Great comment.

All good points. Here are two more:

Another bonus of the West leaving the country ... CBC will not be our state broadcaster :-)

Another tactic to shame white people. When will this reconciliation end??
She lies, she eats.
