They've found more than a hundred bodies in unmarked graves at former residential schools over the years, and ground penetrating radar is a reliable tool. Why would this be so surprising to you?

As you read about relatively early on this blog, and eventually elsewhere, zero Red Indian kids were found dead at the old Kamloops Residential School. By September of 2022 this was much more well known than when I first discussed it.
Yet hateful people like Traxy continue to slander the hardworking (white) men and women who put their hearts and souls into the noble goal of educating the jackpine savages who wandered across Her Majesty's Dominion in Canada's early years. They put all their energy into this narrative of cruel teachers spreading evil across the land, and as the evidence continues to mount against their case, they continue to cling to it.
Why? Because deep down they know the truth: there's no shame in educating kids who so badly needed it. So they keep claiming "they found more than a hundred bodies in unmarked graves" even though they found zero. Also, and I don't know if I've blogged about this before, but if you watch Arctic Manhunt about the infamous Mad Trapper of Rat River there's a scene where they search for "Albert Johnson"'s body to do modern forensic analysis.
(There's a bunch of nonsense about tribal elders in that movie, unfortunately, including a ticking clock because the elders only allow them a specific timeframe to search even though we all know Johnson is a white man and not their ancestor: in real life the Eskimo trackers turned out to be mostly useless since their "knowledge of the land gained from the ancestors of their ancestors" was flat our wrong, and they got superstitiously scared thinking Johnson was a magical being that they were fools to oppose)
Anyways they go to Johnson's marked grave. They search with ground penetrating radar, they find his body, and they dig...
...he wasn't there. They finally found the body a few feet away, but critically in a location that the ground penetrating radar (which Traxy assures us is "a reliable tool" specifically didn't point to).
