The ETFO said using Sir John A. Macdonald’s name creates an unsafe environment for kids to learn and work in because Macdonald was a supporter of residential schools back in the 1800’s.

?? So the teacher's union is going back for more than a century to get at someone who was in favor of 'home schooling'! Then again the term of 'residential schools' may be a code term for something different from what it appears.

Otherwise it is hard to find where he has been 'controversial' except for changes in accepted mores over time, ie expansion into native lands, treatment of Qubec armed rebellion etc. If so, then his statues may be in danger up there.

Oh gawd, I can’t wait for Canada-based Rebel Media to rip this story to confetti and smaller pieces on their YouTube channel. :-)

Canada is pulling funds from groups still searching for alleged bodies buried at Indigenous residential schools funded by Catholics and other Christians.

An organization and a committee of experts formed to search for the elusive remains have both lost funding in the past month, following four years of searches that have found zero remains. The Survivors’ Secretariat and the committee both say they have lost funding this year, the CBC reported.

One of the committee’s founding members, Crystal Gail Fraser, told the outlet in mid-February that the National Advisory Committee on Residential Schools Missing Children and Unmarked Burials would have to stop operating when its current funding agreement expires at the end of March.

Around the same time, the leader of Survivors’ Secretariat, Laura Arndt, told the CBC that funding for her nonprofit was also cut, though she believes the cut was due to criticism of the liberal government.

..The committee and organization’s entire existence is based on the notion that hundreds of children were killed at residential schools and buried in unmarked graves – a narrative that has seemingly fallen apart. The initial claims in 2021 led to apologies, riots, and the vandalism or burning of 55 Canadian churches,

The narrative began to fall apart in early 2022, less than a year after it made national headlines, the preliminary report on the remains was “based on depressions and abnormalities in the soil of an apple orchard near the school – not on exhumed remains,”
