Discovery of children’s remains at Kamloops residential school ‘stark example of violence’ inflicted upon Indigenous peoples After three decades administering residential schools across the province, he became the bishop of Prince George, where he created a system of elementary and high schools that included both First Nations and non-Indigenous children.
More than 130 schools operated across Canada between the 1870s and 1996, and as many as 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children were sent to them despite their families’ objections. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission said 4,100 children died of disease or accidents at the schools. Estimates of children who went missing are as high as 6,000.
UBC don’t mull over it! Do it! Abuse should never be OK! Please teach your students that by being an example to them.
STOP MULLING you twits! Just rescind it NOW while it might matter.
I'm afraid all we're going to get is symbolic gestures such as this, with no real action from the Canadian govt. Time for the son to succeed where the father failed.
How did this ATROCITY happen in Sanctimonious Holier than Thou Nose in the Air Morality Snob Canada?!!!
Universities are expected to set moral examples for the society, only timely quick action can deliver the full value of the rescind - any hesitancy or delay greatly reduces the power of the message.
Oh, and rescind his high school diploma take his drivers license away. Seriously? Unless, of course, the UBC is accepting responsibility for his education having contributed to his actions. Perhaps it should search for his professors and fire them posthumously.
Nothing to “mull”. Do it!

Macdonald statue from downtown after discovery of 215 children’s bodies at Kamloops residential school site That should fix everything Fair enough, what will happen to the statue? Funny no one ever mentions Pierre Trudeau he was PM when they were still open? Why aren't they changing Mtls airport name? Or every other PM that has something named after them or statues for that matter or is it just is it just selective outrage?

Trudeau asks for flags to be lowered to honour Kamloops residential school victimsPrime Minister Justin Trudeau has asked that flags on all federal buildings be flown at half-mast to honour 215 children whose remains were found at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C. Just take them down. All of them. Until we make this right. Don't believe the colonists government! Lowering flags doesn't do any justice to the victims and survivors of these horrific acts. Use the same technology & go through every single residential school that ever existed in this country and find out the actual number of victims.

‘It’s our truths’: Indigenous leaders call for ‘thorough’ probe to identify remains of children found at Kamloops residential school siteKukpi7 (chief) Rosanne Casimir says the findings substantiate what those in the community had long known, but had never been officially documented Like getting ALL First Nations safe drinking water? Oh ya. JustinTrudeau lied about this. Maybe he’s too busy taking Indigenous people to court to systematically take away their rights. This needs to be done ASAP. This just breaks my heart. It should have been done a long time ago. This is atrocious & saddening, no question. But serious questions also need to be asked of the church, and to the highest levels possible.
