I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, residential school denialism is a loser movement: it’s anti-Indigenous content created by losers for losers who want to denigrate dead Indigenous children on the internet rather than put truth before reconciliation.

I joined CBC's Daybreak Kamloops this morning to debunk OneBC's political propaganda film "Making a Killing" and address the harms of residential school denialism: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

ICYMI: in light of the rise in residential school denialism and anti-Indigenous racism, Phyllis Webstad, Willie Sellars, and I sat down for a conversation about how to confront denialism and put truth before reconciliation: youtu.be/RorHgy5Kl5c

When the Pine Needles Fall Indigenous Acts of Resistance.

We just had a wonderful conversation about WHEN THE PINE NEEDLES FALL by Ellen Gabriel & @seancarleton.bsky.social in a Canadian & Indigenous Studies course at Trent. I think it was all the more special, because our seminar room was not far from where the two of them first met. @btlbooks.com

With the recent spike in residential school denialism, I'm happy to share this important conversation with Phyllis Webstad and Willie Sellars, "Truth Before Reconciliation: Addressing Residential School Denialism": www.youtube.com/watch?v=RorH...

Today, in Montreal, I was honoured to be inducted into to the Royal Society of Canada as a member of the RSC College. I’m looking forward to using the platform to fight residential school denialism and further truth and reconciliation.

Rob Shaw: B.C. taxpayer cash fuelling condos, documentaries and cushy new jobs While British Columbians cut back, MLAs find creative new ways to spend public money

If you haven't heard about the film One BC's been promoting, now you have. It's called Making a Killing: Reconciliation, Genocide and Plunder in Canada

And it seems they used public funds from their caucus budget for it

"The goal is to convince people of this misinformation so that it can get distributed up the far-right media food chain. So, denialism has jumped from these extreme right-wing sources now to elected politicians.

Confronting residential schools denialism is an ethical and shared Canadian responsibility Residential schools denialism is harmful on many levels, and jeopardizes Canada’s ability to work with Indigenous Peoples to create a stronger future.

"Denialism is not an Indigenous problem; confronting it is a Canadian responsibility...Truth & reconciliation cannot survive if the truth is minimized, downplayed or disavowed."

Critically important piece by @seancarleton.bsky.social & @truthinthesoil.bsky.social theconversation.com/confronting-...

"The responsibility to show we have actually changed, and to repair the catastrophic damage the Residential Schools have wrought isn’t with the people of the past. It is here and now and with us" - @rjjago.bsky.social

Also, what kind of journalist would not disclose that the person he is talking about in this tweet (below)....IS HIS WIFE? Oh, right, the same kind of activist who is promoting a far-right Christian nationalist, IRS denialist conspiracy theory. You goofs are cooked.

As @truthinthesoil.bsky.social have argued, confronting this residential school denialism - ways that do not give these people the attention they are hoping to manufacture through free speech stunts like this - is an ethical and shared responsibility: theconversation.com/confronting-...

What these people are doing is engaging in deprived denialism - often denigrating dead children and giving cover for pedophiles - as a way of protecting church, state, and nation. It's gross. They are causing a tremendous amount of harm and profiting from it.

Guess who was working for True North News, the publisher of the Grave Error far-right propaganda book that has given IRS denialism a bump? You can see the pattern.

Guess who wrote a kids book defending John A. Macdonald from the woke mob? You don't need to guess:

This appears to be a stunt, like other denialists do, to manufacture a crisis that frames them as a victim; its a move to innocence. In context, we can see through this quite clearly. Here are some receipts.
