Re: O'Toole, CPC and Residential Schools
« on: December 15, 2020, 11:29:23 pm »
O'Toole says that residential schools were made to "provide education" to indigenous people. 

What he ignores is that they were to be educated that their culture, languages and people were simply savages.  The schools were meant to destroy their culture and assimilate them into the colonist's version of Canada.  Even Harper admitted these things in Canada's apology to First Nations people. 

O'Toole on the other hand, when the cameras are off, thinks they were set up for a noble reason and that to say otherwise, you're a dumb lefty.

What a disgusting attitude.  At least the crackpots in the CPC aren't hiding their true feelings in the shadows and only come out when they don't think the cameras are rolling.  O'Toole will tell his supporters that he's with them....  while pretending to hold mainstream Canadian views.  Apparently, to acknowledge that residential schools were a bad thing is to be a  dumb woke lefty...   in my view, acknowledging that residential schools were set up to destroy indigenous culture is patently obvious and clearly a mainstream view that looks at facts and evidence to draw this conclusion.

Sure he took a political shot but was what he said about the schools inaccurate?
