Al Jazeera is a great news source that is heavily ostracized simply because of its head office location.
Now to be fair, the CBC does have some articles, but not nearly as detailed, and we keep only hearing of the word abuse, but what that truly entails. Note how these articles are also only generally found in the indigenous section away from the top news, hidden from the general public view unless you dug for it.

Our federal government is actively fighting to prevent detailed information on residential schools

The Ontario Court of Appeal on Thursday overturned a decision the federal government won last year to prevent the creation of detailed statistical reports that would reveal which residential schools had the highest rates of abuse.

NDP MP Charlie Angus is urging Justice Minister and Attorney General David Lametti to stop the destruction of key compensation claim documents from one of Canada's most notorious residential schools.
A court order issued by Justice Brenda Brown in British Columbia Supreme Court on May 29 permits the federal government to begin destroying persons of interest reports (POI) that detail abuse allegations against staff and supervisors at St. Anne's residential school.
The order said Ottawa can begin the process in the new year, but it must be completed by March 31, 2021.
In a letter to Lametti sent on Sunday, Angus said the loss of the POI reports would eliminate key evidence St. Anne's survivors need in their ongoing legal battles with Justice Canada over their compensation claims for abuse they suffered at the institution.

What the heck is in these documents that the federal Liberals (and it is the Liberals make no mistake here) are so adamantly trying to hide and why? On a side note, I absolutely admire Charlie Angus' persistence on the matter.
Did anyone here know that the federal government was actively looking to destroy residential school documents while the pandemic was going on? I sure as heck didn't, and only stumbled upon it while searching for 'residential schools' articles. I had no idea.
We need all documents to be released and revealed, not destroyed. Unfortunately I think these documents are already destroyed now, of course after the reveal of a mass grave in a nearby BC town.
I do think the federal government did know of these mass graves and must have had a motive to try so hard to thwart efforts to find the truth.
Canada can't hide this anymore, we need answers.
