When Noam Chomsky says Canada’s famously defrocked United Church minister Kevin Annett is “more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than many who have received it in the past,” you can take his word for it if you want.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission found THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN DIED AT SIMILAR SCHOOLS.

The Kamloops school was located over 350 kilometers from Vancouver and was the largest in the Indian Affairs residential school system, where thousands of Indigenous children were sent in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Canada’s residential school system, which forcibly separated Indigenous children from their families, constituted “CULTURAL GENOCIDE”, a SIX-YEAR INVESTIGATION into the now-defunct system found in 2015.

“Each child has been forever taken from a family and a community that loved them,” the B.C.’s premier, John Horgan said.

It found more than 4,100 children died while attending residential school. The deaths of the 215 children buried in the grounds of what was once Canada’s largest residential school ARE BELIEVED TO NOT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED in that figure and appear to HAVE BEEN UNDOCUMENTED until the discovery.

A mass grave containing the remains of 215 Indigenous children has been discovered on the grounds of a former residential school in the interior of southern British Columbia.

It was part of a cross-Canada network of RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS created to FORCIBLY ASSIMILATE INDIGENOUS CHILDREN by REMOVING THEM FROM THEIR HOMES AND COMMUNITIES, and forbidding them from speaking their native languages or performing cultural practices. Physical, emotional and sexual abuse were rampant within these institutions, as was forced labour.

At least 150,000 children attended such schools in what a historic 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission described as a “CULTURE OF GENOCIDE” targeting Canada’s INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.

“Every Indian student smelled of hunger.” The school was described as being cold in winter and unsanitary.

The same documents mention that students were exposed to outbreaks of measles, tuberculosis, influenza and other contagious diseases, and many died.

INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES have long believed MASS GRAVES of residential school students existed, and proving it has been a DECADES-LONG PROCESS. “It matters because the story of secret residential-school mass graves is an URBAN LEGEND,” said a column in British Columbia news outlet TheTyee.ca.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has calculated at least 3,201 residential school deaths, although the true total may never be known due to unaccounted deaths and destroyed files.

I don't see any regulation by the community at large, definitely not more in China's system than in the West, probably less. If you think you see it, please elaborate.

The community is the dictatorship of the proletariat that follows the leadership of the CPC.

Ok, it's a name game. Once it drifts too far from socialism, I don't want to call it that but hey, people sell cauliflower bits as "cauliflower rice" even though it has no rice so whatever I guess.

How is it drifting away from socialism? What China does fits the definition of socialism.

In that sense socialism is aiming for the low-hanging fruit. Just make everybody including society poor and you have achieved the goal of reducing social inequality. China clearly doesn't do this. China clearly built up its wealth as a top priority and in that endeavor, there were first periods of massively increased social inequality, then a slow tapering off. This is exactly showing China combining the best of both systems rather than adhering to any socialist ideals.

That's a typically capitalist view of socialism, because capitalists want people to believe the only way to reduce social inequality is to make everyone poor. That's basically a scaremongering tactic.

As China has demonstrated, this is simply not true. If you compare the 90's to the present day, you might find that the wealth gap has increased just because China has so many more billionaires.

However, for anyone who has spent time in those two periods, it is quite clear that SOCIAL INEQUALITY has been massively reduced.

In the 90s we had migrant workers living in shacks, their children left behind in villages with no education prospects. We had entire villages with cancer due to nearby factories polluting the water. We had corrupt officials openly displaying their affluence with extravagant weddings and wasting public funds with dinners costing tens of thousands of yuan on the public tab.

None of those things are happening anymore. Migrant workers have now returned to their villages of settled down in cities with their family. Pollution has been tamped down and environmental laws stringently enforced. Corrupt officials have been sacked and executed.

That's what I'm talking about. The wealth gap by itself doesn't reflect social inequality.

And the Canadians, particularly Trudeau junior got the nerve, and getting on their high horse to lecture China and other countries on human rights?!

Least we forget, most of these achievements came about because of government actions, (ie socialistic) not by market forces (ie, capitalist).

Instead, what caught my eyes was the respond from a senior member of the EU. Thtee words comes to mind, and not necessarily in that order. "Nerve raw hit"

I saw a lot of Redditors crying about these words. Seeing racists cry is such a relief. Thanks a lot, Mr. Yi.

I take it you are not Chinese. I'm not complaining or trying to school you. So please forgive me, but I felt I needed to point out that in Chinese we often put the family name first. So our esteem foreign Secretary is actually Mr Wang.

So I had been writing my Chinese colleagues' names in the wrong order while I was in China for 3.5 years. I almost never had to write both names of somebody else but it is still so embarrassing to hear now.

Well you could always pass it off as a term of endearment since calling someone by their first name with an honorific, while odd, is not that uncommon and certainly not unheard of.

Lol. Sorry about that. At least you know now. For example. Deng xiping he's Mr Deng. Mao Zedong. He is Mr Mao. Wen jiabao. He is Mr Wen. Finally Xi Jinping. He is Mr Xi.

Don't worry can't get any worse than this guy

Not a rhetoric but a genuine question, I wonder if there is any real case that the "market forces" solve the social inequality issue in any where, any country?

I believe the social inequality issue can only be solved by the government policy and/or intervention. "Market force" (or Capitalism) won't solve issues like this per se.

Btw, I just noted a video about "Israel laser guided air defense artillery"

I wonder how effective is this laser stuff? earlier clip like this already circulated in socmed touting its greatness. Visually it gives an impressive view.
