So you think molesting and starving children was Sir John A's goal at the outset???
No, I don't think it was. Pretty much all schools beat the
**** out of kids. I got the strap from several principals and vice principals. Mr. Syko had a cut-off goalie stick he used as a paddle and made you touch your toes in front of the class. Mr. McBain was banging a student and everyone knew. There's an article on Mr. Smith in this week's Winnipeg Free Press and how he and fellow teacher Graham James always tried to touch the boys. It was a different time in that regard, but we still "colonialize" everyone in this country.
