Below box @Reconciliation_Action_Group Alt text: Black background with an orange square boarder like paint mark, white text Residential school denialism follows a pattern familiar from other forms of atrocity denialism. Holocaust denialism, genocide denialism and similar movements employ similar strategies: demand impossible “proof,” discredit Survivor and expert testimony and attack the reputations of researchers. Below box @Reconciliation_Action_Group Orange text below box Confronting residential school denialism in an ethical and shared Canadian responsibility. The Conversation September 23, 2025 Alt text: Black background with an orange square boarder like paint mark, white text This can include denialists turning their attention toward those who dare to speak openly: Survivors, Indigenous communities and the experts who support them. What is often framed as “debate” seems more like a campaign of intimidation. Residential school denialism, then, is not just an attack on truth. It also increasingly has many of the hallmarks of an attack on truth-tellers and anyone who is listening.

Reflecting on this situation and the commentary from the police. Their reaction is based on their embarrassment, reputational risk, and trust erosion. There is no admission that a horrible thing happened, they want to understand how it occurred, or what they're doing to prevent reoccurrence, etc.

Former commissioner with the Calgary Police Commission here. Just answering *all* the queries now.
Was I on commission when this started? Not sure.
Am I surprised by this? No.
Is this really bad? Hell yes.
Will they go to jail? Probably not.
