Time to Admit the Kanaloops genocide was a hoax
2026-06-03
We had a story of the church-burning response at the time here
.[Federalist] Five years ago, a moral panic gripped Canada over a story that was obviously fake but that so perfectly confirmed the biases of anti-Catholic liberals, no one in the media or the political establishment bothered to check its veracity.

This of course was the hoax about the purported discovery of "mass graves" of indigenous children at what was once a government boarding school run by the Catholic Church. In late May 2021, the Tk emlups te Secwrpem First Nation claimed that ground-penetrating radar had revealed hundreds of graves near the site of a former school in Kamloops, British Columbia. Tribal leaders cited the radar survey as proof that scores of indigenous Canadian children had been buried in unmarked mass graves at the school....

.. only problem was that it wasn't true. There were no mass graves, no gruesome discovery, and no conspiracy of bigoted Catholic schoolmasters. That much has been obvious for years, if it wasn't obvious enough when the story first appeared. Only now, five years later, The Globe and Mail, one of the major media outlets that helped perpetrate the hoax, has published an editorial mea culpa on the entire affair.
