<p class="v1MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif;">It is difficult to believe that the </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">tragic injustice of the Indian Residential Schools <u>went on for over 100 years</u>. We should ask how this could have happened in a civilized country such as Canada, particularly where many politicians called themselves 'Christians'. </span></p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">One can get a sense of the huge scale of this injustice by reading about Dr Peter Bryce, the chief medical officer who tried in vain to raise the alarm about what was happening. The attitude of the government towards the indigenous people of Canada was a form of blindness and 'colonial injustice' where thousands of children as young as 5 years old were taken away from their homes <u>as a way 'to fix the Indian problem</u>'. </span></p>

He courageously pressed for reforms. But Bryce's superiors and the government didn't listen. They didn't want to know the truth, and made the physician's job impossible as only bureaucrats can do. And so, when Bryce left the government and was no longer oath-bound to secrecy, he wrote a 24-page exposé on the accelerated extinction of Indigenous people willfully being </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #393939;">perpetrated in Canada's residential schools.
