With the price of lumber, selling the wood seems like it would be more economical.

Look out for those spent casings, they're hot....

The federal cabinet minister responsible for Crown-Indigenous relations apologized publicly to an Indigenous MP today after suggesting Jody Wilson-Raybould's concern over residential schools and Indigenous rights was really a ploy to secure a generous MP pension.
"Earlier I offered my apologies directly to the MP for Vancouver-Granville. I let interpersonal dynamics get the better of me and sent an insensitive and inappropriate comment, which I deeply regret and shouldn't have done," Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Carolyn Bennett said in a social media post.
Former justice minister and attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould, the Independent MP for Vancouver Granville, famously resigned from the Liberal cabinet and was later removed from the party by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the SNC-Lavalin affair.

Tearing down Catholic churches to reclaim and reuse the framing? Brilliant.

As I understand it, both Churches were on reserve land.
Who, then would form their congregations?
City-dwelling white people?
Who would get married in them?
Who would be baptized in them?
Whose funerals would be conducted in them?
What communities' functions would be held in them?
Who would benefit from charities supported and conducted by them?
Who would their soup kitchens feed?
Who most suffers from there loss?
Who is least likely to have torched them?

"The standards of that time" did not include mass genocide or forced horrific "medical" experiments.
Some things are just wrong.
Abusing and dehumanizing people is one of those things.

10% never get the word....
A Mississauga, Ont., priest is under fire after a sermon referencing the "good done" by the Roman Catholic Church in residential schools, saying some might go so far as to even thank it.
During his sermon at the Merciful Redeemer Parish last Sunday, Monsignor Owen Keenan referenced the Kamloops, B.C., residential school where the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation reported it had discovered the preliminary remains of more than 200 children in unmarked graves in May.

Its a bit tone deaf isn't it? Or at least I see it that way.
On the other hand the grovelers and apologists grate my nerves too.

The Catholic church is an easy target. Its huge and wealthy. PLUS priests who...violate their vows to their god are numerous.

I know it's Wikipedia, but this seems a good summary of where things stand right now regarding the churches. It seems that the RC church is the only one who hasn't come right out and said 'sorry':
Canadian Indian residential school system
On May 29, 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked the current Pope Francis for a public apology to all survivors of the residential school system, rather than the expression of sorrow issued in 2009.[115][116][117] The request aligned with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's call for "a formal apology issued by the Pope to the survivors of the residential school system for the spiritual, cultural, emotional, physical and sexual abuse of Canada's First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples".[118] Trudeau invited the Pope to issue the apology in Canada. Although no commitment for such an apology followed the meeting, he noted that the Pope pointed to a lifelong commitment of supporting marginalized people and an interest in working collaboratively with Trudeau and Canadian bishops to establish a way forward.[115]

I don't agree with all this publication shares, but there's more than just a kernel of truth here about the Big Church-Indigenous spiritualism divide in some places. More grist for the mill ....

I don't agree with a lot of what I see in the various sources that I trawl, either regularly or sporadically, but there are worthy articles, of varying frequency, in all of them.
And that includes articles with which I disagree, because they make me think and re-evaluate.
No segment of any society anywhere is a solid monolith. There will always be different views.
This was a good one.
And I see more that I intend to read as well.
Thanks.

A variation on this that I tell people: nothing has everything, but everything has something.
