<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n (LifeSiteNews<\/a>) \u2014 People\u2019s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier has condemned the residential school \u201cgenocide\u201d narrative as a \u201choax\u201d on Truth and Reconciliation Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On September 30, as Canada observed the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Bernier pointed out<\/a> the absurdity of celebrating a holiday based on the residential school \u201cgenocide\u201d narrative, which has since been proven false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOn this \u2018National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,\u2019 let\u2019s remember that no bodies were found, that the residential schools \u2018genocide\u2019 is a hoax, and that reconciliation requires an end to the bs, the victim mentality, the fake white guilt, and the grifting based on it,\u201d he posted on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many Canadians commented under his post, thanking Bernier for his post and voicing their support of abandoning the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2021, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau installed September 30 as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, making it a federal statutory holiday. At the time, the Liberal-funded mainstream media began promoting inflammatory and dubious claims<\/a> that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran once-mandatory residential schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Canada\u2019s Residential School system was a structure of boarding schools funded by the Canadian government and run by both the Catholic Church and other churches that were open from the late 19th century until the last school closed in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While some children did tragically die at the boarding schools, evidence revealed<\/a> that many of the children passed away as a result of unsanitary conditions due to underfunding by the federal government, not the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, four years later, there have been no mass graves discovered<\/a> at residential schools. However, following claims blaming the deaths on the Catholic clergy who ran the schools, over 100 churches have been burned or vandalized<\/a> across Canada in seeming retribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since then, the Canadian government has quietly backtracked<\/a> on its claims, refusing to publicly acknowledge its mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, as LifeSiteNews previously reported<\/a>, internal emails revealed that federal workers questioned the residential school narrative as early as 2023 despite gaslighting Canadians who were suspicious of the media\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bernier slams Truth and Reconciliation Day, calls residential school \u2018genocide\u2019 narrative a \u2018hoax\u2019 Maxime Bernier, leader of the People\u2019s Party of Canada, condemned the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, stressing that \u2018no bodies were found\u2019 at residential schools.
