Gravy Trains Aren't Run On the Truth

Indeed:

Except that so much of the media and political narrative that summer was false. There were no “mass graves.” There was no evidence of mass murder. There is no evidence the graves were deliberately concealed. And in several cases, First Nations explicitly stressed that radar surveys were likely turning up graves without any immediate links to nearby residential school sites.

As for the most recent uproars: not a single mass grave was discovered in Canada last year. The several sites of unmarked graves that captured international headlines were either already-known cemeteries, or they remain sites of speculation even now, unverified as genuine grave sites. Not a single child among the 3,201 children on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 2015 registry of residential school deaths was located in any of these places. In none of these places were any human remains unearthed.

Crews wrapped up the search for unmarked graves at the site of the former Camsell Hospital on Friday after no human remains were found.

The facility was used to treat Indigenous people with tuberculosis for decades and some believed former patients may have been buried on the grounds. The site located at 128th Street and 114th Avenue has been slated for the construction of residential properties.

Thirteen spots flagged by ground-penetrating radar were dug up earlier this summer. Over the past two days another 21 such anomalies were uncovered but only found debris.

No further searches of the site are planned.

Nothing would surprise me anymore:

In June, 2021, the House of Commons rebuked the president of the Canadian Public Health Agency for refusing to turn over information related to the dismissal of scientists from the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada. The president of the Public Health Agency of Canada was brought to the House of Commons and admonished for “failing to turn over unredacted documents related to the firing of two scientists at  Canada’s highest security lab.”

The residential school grave story broke just as the whistle was about to be blown on a shipment of Ebola and other(Covid?) pathogens from Winnipeg to a lab in Wuhan, China. Was this an act of political and media obfuscation?
