Poll Do you agree with the Catholic churches being burned down due to their horrific atrocities? (26 votes)
For those who don't know.
The Catholic Church in Canada played a major role in Canada's cultural genocide of native peoples by administering most of the "residential schools". Forced boarding 'schools' whose mission was to "kill the Indian in the child". In these institutions children were frequently beat, raped, starved, deprived of medical care, and murdered. The last of these schools closed in 1996 so their impact is still fresh on these communities.
The death tolls were always known to be high, but now that efforts to investigate the unmarked mass graves around these schools are taking place and finding hundreds of bodies at each school the impact is being felt especially hard. People on various reservations have decided that they don't want the same churches that murdered children and scarred generations on their land anymore.
The government of Canada has also been much to happy to pass the blame for the program they legally mandated onto the peaple they placed to oversee it.
