Commentary
The unanimous decision of the town council of Quesnel, British Columbia, to condemn the book “Grave Error” by the distinguished public intellectuals C.P. Champion and Tom Flanagan because some claimed that it disputed that cultural genocide occurred in the Indian Residential Schools, is another powerful illustration of the extent to which this country is falling into the habit of uncritically accepting even the most heinous charges against Canada’s ethical and moral history.
