• CBC repeats false claim that Indigenous bodies have been discovered at the former sites of residential schools in Canada

• To this date no human remains have been discovered

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has once again repeated the false claim that Indigenous bodies have been discovered at the former sites of residential schools in Canada.

During an interview with Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy about his role in the film Small Things Like These, CBC’s Eli Glasner attempted to draw a parallel by propping up the false claim.

Glasner stated that Canada is “still finding the bodies of Indigenous children in the ground,” despite the fact that no remains have been discovered at any site, and the only excavations that have been done to prove that such exists have come up empty.

“I’ve read a lot about that in Canada,” Murphy responded.

Since releasing the interview, the CBC appears to have deleted that specific comment and response from their interview. 

Nonetheless, the CBC has been hellbent on perpetuating the unproven mass graves claim that inspired protests and terrorist arson across the country.

“Unmarked Graves”

The 2021 uptick in church attacks was seen as a backlash to the widely-reported and condemned “discovery” of 215 “unmarked graves” at an old school in Kamloops, British Columbia. 

Archeologists made this conclusion not after having done an excavation, but through the use of radar technology. They later admitted that their assertion they discovered “unmarked graves” was hasty, and changed the term to “anomalies.”

MSM perpetuating false narrative

Recently, City News also falsely stated mass graves of Indigenous children were discovered at the former sites of residential schools, only to later correct their claim.

CTV also interviewed a BC Chief who acknowledged mass graves have never been verified, claiming that the reason they might never be found is “because [children’s bodies] were incinerated.” 

It was the latest twist in the mass graves saga, which to date remains unproven, with some calling it an outright hoax. 

Just like the mass graves claim, there’s no historical proof or documentation of incinerators ever being used. However, some former residential school attendees have claimed they existed. 

Trudeau says church attacks “understandable”

During the wave of church arson incidents across Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the attacks were “unacceptable and wrong,” but added, “I understand the anger that is out there. It is real and it is fully understandable given the shameful history that we are all becoming more and more aware of and engaging ourselves to do better as Canadians.”

There remain horrifying accounts of abuse and mistreatment that took place at certain residential schools across Canada between 1883 — 1996, including documentation of a higher death rate, in some cases as high as one in twenty students (mostly due to tuberculosis).
