Do I need to lose 70 pounds to have a chance of being rescued by a firefighter?
165 pounds seems a little slim in this day and age. I was 15 when I weighed that.

On the other hand, if you're a 325-lb 3-can-a-day-Pringles-chompin' porker, ain't many fireMEN gonna sling you over his shoulder and carry you down no ladder...
Well that's good news for us. I don't want to pay to keep him away from the innocent for his whole life. Hopefully our government does something right and doesn't allow him back in. No need to chase him, let him live his life far away.
It's somewhat interesting the way that the government has slowly backed away, while letting the churches take the heat.
Government could have found/created another organization to execute their plan.
Government would control the guidelines, the budget, the locations, the security, and apparently the medical experimentation that went on.
They'd also have the last word on any implementation.
Churches would have supplied some manpower for the execution, but not their best people. Quite possibly their worst.
I'm tired of seeing churches burned with impunity. While I get the connection and understand the Indigenous distaste for some religions however burning churches to me is intolerable.
Imagine if Palestine Canadians decided the same fate should fall upon synagogues? Or Pakastini-Sikh Canadians decided start burning Mosques? Or Canadian kids who suffered at the hands of Canadian clergy decided to burn churches?
I'm all for peaceful protests. I'm all for Indigenous communities petitioning churches to remove their unused buildings -- I'm not for church burnings.
Stories about children asked to dig graves, as well as the discovery of a rib bone and tooth, helped investigators locate about 200 grave sites near a former school in Kamloops, British Columbia, a researcher said.

Not surprised. That is my problem with mostmissionaries. I like that they are trying to help people but most have a bit too much rah rah god for me. Go in, help with food, water and learning, have some discussions about god if you want but dont make bringing god to the savages the center point of your mission. FWIW, I give money to some nuns in Africa that follow my ethos and do amazing things to help slum kids escape the cycle.
The "churches" were running the vast majority of schools, all over the country.
The catholic church essentially ran the Quebec school board till the '90s
The 'churches" had the experience and infrastructure to run schools so getting them to run these "residential" schools was a natural fit, and cheaper.
Being a school teacher in the middle of no where didn't pay well, so I'm sure they had a hard time filling positions, but I'll bet the "churches" could recruit/convince do-gooder missionary types more easily than the average guy to fill these jobs.
"Yeah it's a low paying crappy job, in the middle of nowhere BUT you'll be spreading the word of Jebus, convertin' real HEATHENS!"
A wet dream come true.
There really wasn’t another option. Churches have always had the human and organizational resources to operate schools, where else could they go?
Oversight was certainly a problem, as was the fact the indigenous communities were not able to fully participate in something they initially pined for.
Its a failed social experiment, we should agree on that, lick the wounds, learn from the mistakes, and move forward in a positive direction.
