Internal emails show Canadian gov’t doubted ‘mass graves’ narrative but went along with it

Parks Canada employees admitted that ground-penetrating radar results were likely false positives.

(LifeSiteNews) — Internal emails have revealed that federal workers questioned the residential school narrative as early as 2023, despite gaslighting Canadians who questioned media’s claims.

According to confidential staff emails published by Blacklock’s Reporter on July 4, Parks Canada, the government agency which manages national parks, admitted that claims of hundreds of graves found at an Indian Residential School in Kamloops, British Columbia were unfounded and likely false.

“Authors refer to the 215 ground-penetrating radar hits that were reported in 2021 as ‘graves’ or ‘burials,’” wrote one Parks Canada consultant. “But none of these sites have been investigated further to determine that they are graves.

Like most Canadians, Parks Canada staff initially believed the alleged discovery of 215 so-called “unmarked” graves in Kamloops during the summer of 2021. The story alleged that hundreds of Indigenous children were killed and secretly buried at the residential school.

Canada’s Residential School system was a structure of boarding schools funded by the Canadian government and run by both the Catholic Church and other churches that ran from the late 19th century until the last school closed in 1996.

While some children did tragically die at the once-mandatory boarding schools, evidence has revealed that many of the children passed away as a result of unsanitary conditions due to underfunding by the federal government, not the Catholic Church.

In 2021, Parks Canada hired historians “to help identify any gaps or errors” in the claim of finding 215 unmarked graves before designating the Kamloops Indian Residential School as a historic site.

However, according to their internal emails, Parks Canada discovered that the technology used to discover the “graves” is often misleading and cannot be relied upon.

“Ground-penetrating radar often throws up false positives, anomalies that are not indicative of anything significant,” a consultant wrote. “I suggest that until there is further investigation of the sites at Kamloops the report refer to them as ‘possible graves’ or ‘probable graves’ or ‘likely graves’ rather than ‘graves.’”
