Premier John Horgan and Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, will be speaking about devastating wildfires that have destroyed the town of Lytton and are threatening other B.C. Interior communities.

The pair will be joined by representatives from the BC Wildfire Service and Emergency Management BC to provide an update at 1 p.m. on the current wildfire situation in British Columbia.

Ninety per cent of Lytton has been destroyed by fire, including nearby infrastructure like Telus and BC Hydro stations. Rail and highway infrastructure have also been impacted.

In the Interior, three fires are burning close together approximately 18 kilometres from Big White Ski Resort and new fires have sprung up at Trepanier Creek on the Okanagan Connector and west of Darke Lake, where another fire is already burning.

Funny, couldn't find anything on Socialist protesters.

More of a protest on all those bodies they discovered several weeks ago.

1. First, the NPC doesn't understand intersectionality.

2. Then, it reads this - "anger grows over the discovery of the remains of hundreds of children in unmarked graves at former indigenous schools" - and thinks the Canadian government literally guillotined several hundred aboriginal children or something.

It doesn't even know what it's supposed to be angry about. The protest is about the failure of the Canadian government to return the remains of indigenous children who died of natural causes like flu, the measles, etc. over a period of several decades at a residential school to their families. Even the protesters haven't claimed the kids teachers "murdered' them. Sheesh. Classic NPC.

I am a royalist and happy to stick up for Vicky, but I understand that now is not the time. The wounds are raw and the people are angry.

I would like to say a couple things, however. First I will answer your question and then I would like to address a common misconception reflected in your post.

Anyway, in answer to your question, the program of residential schools was put in motion by the government. Her Majesty's government. Nowadays we think of the Queen as purely symbolic, but in the 1860s the monarch still held a lot of power and Royal Assent was not the window dressing that it is today. Our first prime minister, John A. MacDonald, was the architect of the policy, but he would not have enacted it without consulting with at least the governor general, possibly the Queen herself. Yes, the churches were entrusted with carrying out the job of re-educating the natives, because in the 19th century education was still seen as a church function. The government, however, created the policy, enacted it into law, and used the police to enforce it. The churches were just the subcontractors on the job.

Hope that answers your question.

Now, to address the misconception. Once again, all the screaming is about the Catholic Church. Yet when I look at the list of residential schools in Ontario, I see that seven of sixteen, or slightly less than half, were Catholic. Four were Anglican, three were Mennonite, one was Presbyterian and one was United Church. The policy of the government was to apportion the students roughly according to the religion of the existing population, so that the balance of society would not be altered by introducing newly-indoctrinated natives. The population was roughly 60/40 Protestant over Catholic, so the schools and the students were apportioned accordingly.

Yet everywhere I look, I only see people outraged about the Catholic Church. I don't see anyone calling the Anglicans or the Mennonites or the Presbyterians to account. This is not to defend the Catholic Church. It was complicit in cultural genocide. But why is it the Protestants who were equally complicit walk away whistling as if this has nothing to do with them?

Once again you can't come up with proof on your statement that it was a Socialist uprising and used the deflection of "intersectionality" as your argument. It's up to you to show proof which you always seem to lack in any of your arguments.

This story was specifically about graves of 400 FN children discovered at a residential school. All sources say they were the graves of children who died of measles, the flu, etc, over a period of 75 years. Sackett falsely claimed, without citing evidence, they were the graves of a mass killing conducted by the Canadian government. That is factually, objectively false and everyone corrected him.

Once again, everyone has been proved right.
