Why wait for a proper investigation or come to reasonable conclusions that children often died in eras when penicillin wasn't invented or point out that people knew about this and sat on this information until they could make a huge deal out of it?
Watch this hot potato become someone else's problem:
The federal government is heading toward trial on a class-action lawsuit seeking reparations for the devastation residential schools inflicted on First Nation cultures, languages and communities.
The claim for reparations was originally part of a broader lawsuit filed in 2012 by the Tk'emlups te' Secwepemc and shíshálh Nation in B.C. — along with residential school survivors known as day scholars — who were forced to attend Kamloops Indian Residential School and Sechelt Indian Residential School.
Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc announced last Thursday that preliminary findings from a survey of the grounds at the former Kamloops institution uncovered an unmarked burial site with the remains of children.
So far, 105 First Nations have signed onto the lawsuit.
(Sidebar: but the government will blame the Church? Right ...)

Well there are statues of John A. Macdonald all across Canada, which is only natural given that he is our founding prime minister, without whom the country would not exist. Why is this question only ever asked about John Macdonald and not Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who for example increased the Chinese head tax by tenfold, effectively to bar immigrants from east Asia, the Wilfrid Laurier who brought in the Continuous Journey policy which led to the tragedy of the Komagata Maru and which was a racist policy designed to prevent people of south Asian origin from immigrating. Sir Wilfrid Laurier who signed an order in council barring Black people from entering the country and who maintained the same residential school policy that began under the Macdonald administration, in fact expanded it to its peak in I believe the 1920s. … If the new standard is to cancel any figure in our history associated with what we now rightly regard as historical injustices, then essentially that is the vast majority of our history.
Don't you want justice?
History, if studied properly, reveals the ugliness and the glory of any civilisation.
What will history say about the grievance industries, the book-burnings, the finger-pointing, the narrow vision and the grubbing of ignorant generations?
Also - are there shoes for this?:
What are being described as “very old” human remains of a young adult — dating back more than 10,000 years — were found just metres away from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s US$15-million, 18,000-square-foot mansion in Montecito, Calif.
Santa Barbara sheriff’s officials said the discovery was made at a metre’s depth while landscapers were doing construction last week on a road next to the couple’s estate.
