   After three years of research and the cost of 216.5 million dollars,   
   Trudeau’s government has closed the Residential Schools Inquiry: no mass   
   graves have been found. In the meantime, this umpteenth anti-Christian   
   hoax has led to the destruction of at least 112 churches   
      
   The Canadian government, led by Justin Trudeau, has cut funding for the   
   inquiry into allegations of mass burials of children in former residential   
   schools run by the Catholic Church and other Christian denominations:   
   since no mass grave has been found, the inquiry will in all likelihood be   
   disbanded. The facts expose the lie of one of the worst anti-Christian   
   campaigns of this century, which resulted in the burning of over a hundred   
   churches. Much of Canada's ruling class and Prime Minister Trudeau himself   
   are complicit in this violence. Instead, there is an urgent need for a   
   serious commission of inquiry to find out who was behind and who   
   participated in the campaign to destroy and defame the Christian memory   
   and churches of the country.   
      
   On 27 May 2021, Indigenous leader Rosanne Casimir (of Tk'emlúps te   
   Secwépemc, a First Nation) announced that she had used ground-penetrating   
   radar to locate the remains of 215 children on the grounds of the former   
   Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. Almost a month   
   later, news emerged of an estimated 751 unmarked graves near the Marieval   
   Residential School. The announcement on 27 May 2021 was immediately   
   confirmed, without any verification, by all the major personalities and   
   institutions of Canadian society, causing widespread grief and dismay. On   
   28 May of that year, just one day after the announcement, the New York   
   Times ran a special report on the story with the following headline: The   
   Horrifying Story: Mass Grave of Indigenous Children Reported in Canada. On   
   the following 24 June, Trudeau's official statement was released, in which   
   the Prime Minister described the 'findings in Marieval and Kamloops' as 'a   
   shameful reminder of the systemic racism' suffered by Canada's Indigenous   
   peoples. He then ordered Canadian flags to be flown at half-mast and, on   
   25 June, requested that Pope Francis visit Canada to apologise on behalf   
   of the Church for the residential schools where hundreds of unmarked   
   graves have been found.   
      
   But even before this request, Pope Francis, during the Angelus on 6 June   
   2021, had lamented "the shocking discovery of the remains of 215   
   children". In the weeks that followed, taking their cue from Francis'   
   hasty words, Canadian parishes displayed 215 pairs of children's shoes on   
   the steps at the entrance to churches or inside the churches themselves as   
   a gesture of apology and a request for forgiveness.   
      
   The Canadian government immediately set up the National Advisory Committee   
   on Residential Schools, Missing Children and Unnamed Graves to investigate   
   the allegations and the true extent of the alleged abuse and murder of   
   Indian children by Christians of European origin and Catholic religious   
   institutes.   
      
   In recent days, however, it has emerged that Trudeau's government has   
   closed the inquiry after three years of searching for bodies and spending   
   $216.5 million to find no human remains, let alone 'mass graves'. It's a   
   shame that widespread Christianophobia and 'satanic panic', as described   
   by the Catholic Herald on 2 February 2024, has resulted - according to a   
   calculation updated in September 2024 - in the desecration, burning and   
   vandalism of 112 churches, mostly Catholic, many of which serve the   
   indigenous communities themselves.   
      
   The National Advisory Committee on Residential Schools (NAC) has in recent   
   weeks expressed its disappointment at the federal government's decision to   
   withdraw financial support. The original funding for the project, which   
   was allocated in 2022, was due to expire in 2025. Of the $216.5 million   
   already spent, $7.9 million has been earmarked for field work, which has   
   not yet yielded any significant discoveries to support the allegations   
   that prompted the investigation. As a result, the government has decided   
   to withdraw funding and close down the advisory committee, which is due to   
   be disbanded at the end of this month.   
      
   Of course, there are always so-called 'experts' who cry scandal in the   
   hope that the election in the coming months will prompt Trudeau to   
   reactivate funding and appointments. The (il)liberal prime minister is not   
   only an accomplice, but also a promoter of lies and discredit against the   
   work of Christian missions and the loving care guaranteed by Catholic   
   schools. Trudeau even repeated his accusations in November 2024, thus   
   justifying in his actions and public statements not only the terrible   
   Christianophobia in Canada, but also the destruction of many dozens of   
   churches, for which, almost as in the USA under the illiberal regime of   
   Joe Biden, no culprit has been arrested, let alone charged.   
      
   And even in the Vatican there is some food for thought as to why it was   
   decided to endorse these false and defamatory accusations that have done   
   so much damage to the Catholic Church in Canada.
