A Shameful Canadian Event.

 Imagine being stolen from your family at 5 years old, never to see them again. September 30, has been designated to commemorate the residential schools, meaning prisons, where hundreds of thousands of Native Canadians, Metis and Inuit children were thrown into and exposed to physical, mental and sexual abuse for over 100 years. The last one, in Punnichy, Saskatchewan, was shut down in 1996; in the lifetime of many of you reading this. To put it mildly, it was one of the most, if not the most, shameful events in Canadian history. 

We are told to honour the survivors, but did they really survive? The effects of the abuse are ongoing; people see a drunken Indian and ask why he can’t adapt without wondering

about his life story, and remember some didn't survive the hellish schools, many of their bones are in unmarked graves. And for what? so they could be taught to adapt to life under capitalism, what could be more self defeating? 

Its capitalism which should be in the grave.
