I was fully on board to be outraged about this, as the whole residential school system is an excellent example of what happens when the government is put in charge of kids, and I love ripping on the Canadian government.
But then I thought about it for about five minutes and wondered: If hundreds of children just disappeared into these schools, what happened to their parents? Like, the missing indigenous women scandal was huge, and those were women who often broke contact with their families before disappearing, but people's kids, who are at a government school, just vanish and no one looks into it?
Bullshit. Show me one actual parent who's kid disappeared while at this school, just one. Are we to believe that not one person is willing to come forward to get famous? That this entire country hates natives so much that we won't even acknowledge hundreds of dead children?
And yet instead of pointing this out, our government full of useful idiots simply bent over, said sorry we’ll do better, here’s more money for every native and hung everyone else out to dry for being indirectly racist.

Doesn't even pass the sniff test.
