Trudeau Says Anger ‘Fully Understandable Given the Shameful History’ as Churches Burn Down
Breitbart ^ | 7/4/2021 | Jack Montgomery

Posted on 07/04/2021 7:23:20 AM PDT by EBH

Canadian churches, mostly Roman Catholic and Anglican and often historic, have been burned down or vandalised in remarkable numbers in recent days, as anger has been whipped up over the discovery of unmarked graved — often wrongly described as “mass graves” by the mainstream media — at the sites of former Indian Residential Schools; institutions typically run by churches which the government used to require First Nations children to attend, in what is now seen as a misguided effort to integrate them into the cultural mainstream.

The schools date back to the 1800s, and at least some of the graves were marked at one time, with the BBC noting that “Burial plots used to be marked with wooden crosses that crumbled over the years” at the former St Eugene’s Mission School near Cranbrook, British Columbia, for example.

Mobs have also targeted historic statues, with monuments to Queen Elizabeth II, who is head of state in Canada as in Britain and several other Commonwealth realms, and her ancestor Queen Victoria being ripped down in dramatic fashion in front of the Manitoba Legislature, which little apparent intervention by the authorities.

The head of the statue of Victoria was removed and extensively vandalised before being thrown in a river, with a statue of the storied British explorer Captain James Cook which was violently torn down in British Columbia also being symbolically “drowned”.

When the sins of the fathers are not forgiven, nor the progress from them understood.

Isn't it wonderful to think we have the blood of Christ's forgiveness of sins. That all that was wrong in our personal past is forgiven.

I think this is the most insideous part of this new culture. Old sins, old wounds to which none living today suffered are now being attempted to be punished? When the full history demonstrates how we had progressed from those sins/crimes. People living today did not commit them, nor were they victims of it.

Yet the spirit of this age seeks to punish, destroy, divide, confuse the world with its own history. There's only one spirit capable of doing that and it will be...has been...unleashed at the end of days.

This worldwide phenomena isn't just happening here in America, it is global, insidious, unrestrained, and evil. And that makes it very unique indeed.

If they were black churches, I suspect his reaction would be much different.

Burning churches is now ruling class political orthodoxy in Canada. A government approved method of expressing displeasure.

Betcha it's not just First Nations people doing it. Gotta be some fun loving whiteys at it. If Justin Trudeau had a son etc.

Because by their standards churches aren't up to speed on sodomy either.

Trudeau has his version of BLM moving and burning churches but how many Native children died that were not these institutions ?

Exactly. The elites see themselves as gods. They do not want any limit on their sexual activities.

Hey, Trudeau, explain why your police can’t be bothered to investigate the hundreds and thousands of crimes against indigenous Canadians. So many missing and murdered indigenous women. Seems you’re no better than those Catholic schools.

It’s time for Trudeau to resign then and dissolve the Canadian government given its horrific abuses.

It’s only right, right General Trudeau?

Trudeau joins the legion of the antichrist. He knows nothing of the “shameful history” other than the lies given to him by Satan.

Are these churches being burned and vandalized as a result of recent reports of religions abusing children from 100 years ago?

Or is this a natural reaction of a nation that has deliberately targeted Christianity as evil and wrong, and the idiots are blindly following along?

So it’s safe to assume that the Church’s are being burnt down by the Canadian government? Hopefully we sanction that fascist hellhole for their religious prosecutions

The governments of Canada were 100% complicit in what happened. Does anger justify burning down government buildings as well?

Even a cursory look into the history of the abuses these children faced leads to several obvious conclusions.

It was the state that placed these indigenous children in the care of churches. And many of these children died of natural causes due to the lack of even basic fundamental medical treatments.

Burn down a church? It would be more appropriate to burn down a government building.

The churches were probably the only organization that would bury the people, and not the ones who killed them.

Idiots.

The sad thing is, there’s overwhelming support for Trudeau and he’s a shoe-in for re-election, despite some cities like Toronto being in lockdown since last Nov. The majority of Canadians are apparently gluttons for punishment.

The “mass graves” are likely the result of epidemics, which used to be very common. Influenza, especially the Spanish Flu of 1918-1920, Russian flu (1890-1891) smallpox, polio, chickenpox, Canadian typhus, typhoid fever, measles, mumps, whooping cough, etc. Typically hit Indian communities hard.

“Mass graves” usually imply “mass deaths” for obvious reasons.

And these epidemics killed children just as much as if they were with their tribe, at home.

That’s not true, the maritimes, and Ontario love him, the rest of us don’t.

Are you saying he wouldn’t be re-elected next week if there was an election?
