Churches Are Being Burned Down In Canada

 Hi Brock,

Thought I would add to my comment regarding unmarked graves.   I have added two images of Prelate Cemetery in West-Central Saskatchewan and Bodo Cemetery in Alberta.   These cemeteries are quite common along a strip of land running from Macklin, Saskatchewan and into Alberta about one hundred miles and back into Saskatchewan approximately the same and runs all the way down past Nebraska.   The people in this strip of land were pioneer farmers, and had little extra money, therefore only the wealthiest could afford cement or stone, while everyone else would have a wooden marker or an iron one constructed of unrepairable wagon or implement parts.

During my time as a full-time Blacksmith, it was my express privilege and honour to work with these people as we constructed wrought iron markers to match the others within each cemetery.   Some of the graves only had identification as "Baby," "Child of Jesus" or "Infant Mueller", or other family name in the Register.

The Natives of the area have known where most everyone has been interred, only a few have made the decision to visit them or tend to them.   This is common for society as a whole, and it is unfortunate.

My family was involved in the Northwest Rebellion and afterwards, had fled to Montana with many other Metis, including Gabriel Dumont.   I still make a point of visiting Batoche every now and then.
 

The uproar is simply the Trudeau Government readying for an election call.
