Your annual Canada Day reminder that Trudeau & his govt “celebrated” Canada Day 2021 by peddling the lie that the “remains” of 215 dead children had been dug out of a field in BC. He never admitted the falsehood, nor have most of the media that uncritically reported this nonsense

I realize that there is a polite, unstated social contract in Canadian political circles that says we should all just pretend the 2021 unmarked graves social panic never happened. We should all just forget about it. It’s rude to bring it up. Erase it from your mind. I refuse to do that

If we don’t honestly confront the hysterias, conspiracy theories and social panics of the past, we’re doomed to repeat them. There’s obviously something broken/rotten in the Cdn political psyche that allowed us to get sucked into these lies. And it’s cowardly for the political and media classes not to face up to this

there’s something very hollow and fake about watching politicians wave their red and white pom-poms in 2025 while knowing that many of them parroted these lies just a few years ago. The stench of dishonesty isn’t going to be lifted until there is a full political and journalistic accounting for how this country lost its mind four years ago
