There's no army, instead the North West Mounted Police did the murdering.
This hasn't even been reported in any "news" channel here. The only holocaust Canadians heard about happened in WWII.

Press Statement:
Mass Graves of Residential School Children Identified – Independent Inquiry Launched
We are gathered today to publicly disclose the location of twenty eight mass graves of children who died in Indian Residential Schools across Canada, and to announce the formation of an independent, non-governmental inquiry into the death and disappearance of children in these schools.
We estimate that there are hundreds, and possibly thousands, of children buried in these grave sites alone. The Catholic, Anglican and United Church, and the government of Canada, operated the schools and hospitals where these mass graves are located. We therefore hold these institutions and their officers legally responsible and liable for the deaths of these children.
We have no confidence that the very institutions of church and state that are responsible for these deaths can conduct any kind of impartial or real inquiry into them. Accordingly, as of April 15, 2008, we are establishing an independent, non governmental inquiry into the death and disappearance of Indian residential school children across Canada.
This inquiry shall be known as The International Human Rights Tribunal into Genocide in Canada (IHRTGC), and is established under the authority of the following hereditary chiefs, who shall serve as presiding judges of the Tribunal:Hereditary Chief Kiapilano of the Squamish NationChief Louis Daniels (Whispers Wind), Anishinabe Nation Chief Svnoyi Wohali (Night Eagle), Cherokee NationLillian Shirt, Clan Mother, Cree Nation Elder Ernie Sandy, Anishinabe (Ojibway) Nation Hereditary Chief Steve Sampson, Chemainus Nation Ambassador Chief Red Jacket of Turtle IslandToday, we are releasing to this Tribunal and to the people of the world the enclosed information on the location of mass graves connected to Indian residential schools and hospitals in order to prevent the destruction of this crucial evidence by the Canadian government, the RCMP and the Anglican, Catholic and United Church of Canada.We call upon indigenous people on the land where these graves are located to monitor and protect these sites vigilantly, and prevent their destruction by occupational forces such as the RCMP and other government agencies.Our Tribunal will commence on April 15 by gathering all of the evidence, including forensic remains, that is necessary to charge and indict those responsible for the deaths of the children buried therein.Once these persons have been identified and detained, they will be tried and sentenced in indigenous courts of justice established by our Tribunal and under the authority of hereditary chiefs.
As a first step in this process, the IHRTGC will present this list of mass graves along with a statement to the United Nations in New York City on April 19, 2008. The IHRTGC will be asking the United Nations to declare these mass graves to be protected heritage sites, and will invite international human rights observers to monitor and assist its work.

Re: Canada's mass graves
Good shit.
I don't give a fuck about whiny Canadians talking about the dollars going to the natives and boo hoo so much taxes. Fuck you.
America should be doing the same thing, and it's a shame we don't throw down more for them. When you're one of the few survivors of a genocide, you deserve some kickback from the people who built their country on your land. It seems pretty fucking fair to me.

Yes, the fact that things you say are retarded really hurts us all.GONNAFISTYA wrote:Wow. I've really touched a nerve with that "American influence".
The point I was making is that the same violence was inherent in Canada's nation building as was in America's, and Canada has their own vileness in their background, so there's a lot of similarities based on being sister nations rather than being influenced by America.
Re: Canada's mass graves
Goddamn creepy, when you think about it. I imagine kids in those days just went to school and suddenly Timmy or Screaming Beaver or whatever, the kid that's sitting next to them would be called out of the class by a teacher never to be seen again...

Of course. As someone has already mentioned, the church and the various empires really left their mark throughout North, Central and South America while they were nation building/slaughtering/etc a few hundred years ago in trying to control the "New World".Turing wrote: The point I was making is that the same violence was inherent in Canada's nation building as was in America's, and Canada has their own vileness in their background, so there's a lot of similarities based on being sister nations rather than being influenced by America.
But speaking of retarded, that's how you look on your second failed attempt at trolling regarding violent "influence" in Canada. I see I've really hit a nerve...at least with you.
Re: Canada's mass graves
I like how trying to reduce me to a gun nut makes you somehow feel better about you being a retard. It's about as stupid as you calling a rational explanation "Trolling."
Christ, you're about as dumb as a sack of moron.

Its disgusting but unfortunately not all that surprising. There's been some horrible stuff done to Native youth in the government or church-run schools of northern BC as recently as 25 years ago.
