CBC News has examined 33 Canadian churches that burned to the ground since May 2021. Just two were ruled accidental.

Investigators have determined that 24 were deliberately set while others are still under investigation. Some researchers and community leaders suggest Canada's colonial history and recent discoveries of potential burial sites at former residential schools may have lit the fuse.

Right back at you friend, if you think burning churches is a justified response to the terrible actions of the past, you're a violent piece of shit who I'm ashamed to share this country with

If you don't like churches burning, then you should target the leadership of the church which is being less than 1,000 million percent cooperative with any investigation into anybody in their institutions history that ever enabled or covered up for this shit. Either we hang some church officials for their inhumanity or the churches need to be burned to the ground to make sure nobody has to look at that shit anymore and be reminded of what they got away with.

Somehow when you kidnap children, murder them in the backyard, bury them without funerals, And then hide all this information from the police, people seem to think that if you get away with it long enough the police shouldn't investigate you and punish you the way that we would any other child murdering psychopaths. It's probably best that Canada doesn't have a death penalty, but then why not punish these people by locking them up?

Do you have a list of specific people you think should be prosecuted?

Your comment history has gone from normal, to advocating cruelty to animals, racism, genocide denial, and blatant false information.

We have free mental health services available in Canada. Use them.
