Canada given deadline by International Tribunal to repatriate the dead, prosecute the guilty

Breaking News - Monday, October 25, 2010

Ottawa, Canada - A newly formed International Tribunal has informed the government of Canada that, in partnership with aboriginal people, it will commence forensic excavations at twenty eight mass grave sites near former Indian residential schools across Canada after March 1, 2011, if Canada continues to refuse to prosecute those responsible for the deaths of thousands of children in these schools.

In a letter to Prime Minister Steven Harper today, the Acting Secretary of the six-nation International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, (ITCCS) Reverend Kevin Annett, gave Canada and its churches four months to begin repatriating the remains of children who died in these schools, and bring to trial those responsible for their deaths.

Rev. Annett stated that his group had been approached and invited to conduct such an inquiry by "very many" aboriginal survivors of Indian Residential schools across Canada.

“After March 1, 2011, our Tribunal will intervene and conduct any inquiry and forensic study which Canada refuses to do, at the invitation of survivors of Indian residential schools” stated Rev. Annett.

“The evidence is there, that many thousands of children died in residential schools. The continued refusal by Canada and its courts to prosecute those responsible is a clear obstruction of justice, and makes Canada an accessory to a crime against humanity.”

On September 29, Judge Murray Sinclair of Canada’s “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” stated publicly that “Thousands of children died in the schools, and their parents were never informed of how they died or where they were buried.”

The ITCCS will be issuing a Public Summons to Prime Minister Harper and other church and state officials to appear before a London Tribunal during the week of April 4-8, 2011, to answer charges of crimes against humanity.

The ITCCS has already issued such a Summons to Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger, and six senior Cardinals at the Vatican. The ITCCS consists of member groups from Canada, the USA, Ireland, Australia, England and Thailand.

A copy of the ITCCS letter to Prime Minister Harper is attached.

Prime Minister Steven Harper

Government of Canada

Dear Mr. Harper,

I am writing to you in my capacity as the Acting Secretary of The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) to inform you that as of March 1, 2011, our organization will commence an independent investigation, including forensic excavations, at suspected mass grave sites near former Indian Residential Schools across Canada, if your government continues to refuse to investigate these sites and prosecute those responsible for the deaths of children in these schools.

The statement from your Office in February, 2008 which declared that, although criminal acts occurred in these schools, no criminal charges would be laid, indicates a clear policy by your government to officially exonerate the churches and persons responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of children.

Such a policy makes you and your government accessories to a crime under international law, and a pariah body in the Community of Nations.

At the request of survivors of Indian residential schools, our Tribunal will commence our own Inquiry into these deaths as of March 1, 2011, if your government has not done the following:

1. Publicly disclose all the evidence held by you and the Catholic, Anglican and United Church of Canada regarding the deaths of children in Indian residential schools, and the location of their buried remains.

2. Begin a public and unconditional process of repatriation of
those remains to their families for a proper burial.

3. Commence criminal legal proceedings against the persons and institutions responsible for these deaths.

A copy of this letter has been issued to the world media and major governments.

I hope to receive a reply from you no later than November 15, 2010.

Sincerely,

(signed in the original)

A Brighter Side of the Olympics: Illuminating Canada's Darkness

This is an excellent article from Jonathan Fowlie of CanWest:

However you may feel about the 2010 Olympics, this indicates there is great hope for Canada's future, because some very strong people are ready to bring light to the darkness they have faced. CanWest needs more stories like this.

Your Crime is Not Diminished by Time, or Apology:

Why Nothing has Changed for Victims of Church Torture, or for the Victimizers
By Rev. Kevin D. Annett


It’s worse now, because I’m supposed to be healed. They get away with everything and I’m still here on the corner.
Bingo, a homeless native survivor of Catholic Indian Residential schools, Vancouver, August 10, 2009

Here in Canada, I have an odd déjà vu feeling these days that I’m working again on the Intensive Ward of the UBC Psychiatric Hospital, except somehow the patients have taken over.

It’s a feeling that’s reinforced whenever a smiling government or church official announces that the residential school era has “finally found closure” now that a few words have been uttered, and a bit of money thrown around. Somehow, these guys mistakenly believe that their liability and guilt as been diminished by their lawyers.

To stay sane, I stay close to people like Bingo and the many thousands of others who imagine they survived the electric shocks, the beatings, the sodomizing and starvation and tortures that were daily residential school life. It was official policy in Canada to destroy innocent children. Probably one hundred thousand children died at the hands of priests and nuns and other clergy, and their minions, many of whom still walk around free.

“Then I saw the priest take that little baby and throw him into the furnace. I heard a little cry and heard his body go pop in the flames. We weren’t ever supposed to tell.”

Irene Favel saw the burning alive of a newborn baby in the summer of 1944, not in Auschwitz, but in Lestock, Saskatchewan, at the Muscowequan Catholic Indian school. And she described it live on a national CBC television broadcast on July 3, 2008.

After the broadcast, no-one protested, save a handful. No outraged editorials responded with passion or appeal. No church official was ever charged or brought to trial.

In May of this year, an aboriginal woman named Charlotte Stewart and her sister Beryl held a press conference in Vancouver where they described watching their sister Vicky, age nine, get murdered in Edmonton by a United Church residential school employee named Ann Knizky.

“We want the United Church held responsible” said Charlotte to the two reporters who showed up.

“We want this woman brought to trial and the church to admit what happened. Vicky needs a memorial site so she won’t be forgotten.”

The church said all the predictably correct words, in a letter to Charlotte a month later, written only after the Stewarts threatened church officials with a lawsuit. But no-one is being held responsible, and the police are refusing to investigate.

On a national scale, this protection of perpetrators has been guaranteed by the Canadian government’s refusal to bring criminal charges against the churches for their killing of all those children. And the same guilty churches have even helped to choose the “Truth and Reconciliation” commissioners who will pretend to “investigate” the residential schools while promising that no names will be named or wrongdoing reported.

This kind of miscarriage of justice is called “healing and reconciliation” in Canada.

I won’t ask the obvious question anymore, which is how can church and state get away so easily with such a huge and monstrous crime. We know exactly how. The question is not even why might makes right, or how religion can sanctify murder, for history teaches us why.

Instead, what is suddenly confronting all of us, including the Pope and the Queen of England, is the realization that we cannot escape ourselves, or our own history.

We try to evade ourselves, of course, all the time. Many Canadians now really believe that we have somehow made better what happened at our hands to Indians, as if money and words ever heal anything. For every lawyer-crafted “apology”, every bit of hush money doled out anonymously, is designed to do something more basic than protect blood-soaked institutions, and that is simply to continue our own self-deception.

You don’t have to stand next to a residential school survivor, or a United Church clergyman, for more than five minutes to know that nothing has changed, for any of us. The survivor is still as crushed as ever, and the clergyman is just as stupidly self-justifying. And little Vicky Stewart still lies, unavenged and unremembered, in the cold earth.

And yet while nothing really has changed for us, the truth is finally out there, like a pesky virus in our body politic, threatening to germinate in our soul and change us.

Jesus once compared the kingdom of heaven to a tiny mustard seed, a very strange but compelling metaphor, since such a seed transforms any garden into a mass of weeds that chokes out all other contenders. The truth is like that, which is why we fear it so.

Nothing has been resolved, or reconciled, or healed. The churches and governments that planned and carried out horrible crimes against children are still as liable and guilty as they ever were, regardless of “compensation” and court-ordered gag orders. Native people continue to die in droves, and their land keeps being stolen. And it is the simple job of anyone who knows and love the truth to say and show this to the criminal parties, and dislocate them.

I watched with wondrous joy this summer when thousands of Irish men and women crowded the streets of Dublin with their outrage that the church could absolve itself, and be absolved, of its violence and murder against children. And I wait, and wait, for Canadians or Americans to demonstrate a similar clarity and courage.

And yet we can reverse our complicity, simply by understanding, and declaring, that the residential school crimes are not resolved, that the process of justice, cleansing and moral accounting has just begun, and that the churches and governments and persons responsible for genocide must and will be brought to public trial and sentencing.

We did so at Nuremburg, against other people. Can we do it now, against ourselves? And by doing so, find ourselves again?

A letter from Eliza Stewart to the United Church of Canada

Letter of Demand to the Moderator, the General Council and Officers of The United Church of Canada

May 29, 2009

We, the members of the Stewart family, make this public demand to you, the fiduciary and responsible officers of the United Church of Canada, regarding the murder of our sister, Victoria Kathleen Stewart, who died at the hands of a paid employee of your church, Ann Knizky, on April 10, 1958, at the Edmonton Indian Residential School, operated by your church.

On or about April 9, 1958, Ann Knizky did strike Victoria on the back of the head with a wooden two by four on the grounds of the said school, and this unprovoked attack caused Victoria to die the next day in the Charles Camsell Hospital .

Miss Knizky was never tried for her killing of our sister. We were not allowed to know the events surrounding her death. Your church officers protected Ms.. Knizky and lied about the murder, by claiming publicly that Victoria had died of "TB meningitis". Your church is therefore guilty of colluding in Victoria 's murder and of obstructing justice.

Under the doctrine of Vicarious Liability, established by the Supreme Court of Canada in relation to Indian residential school crimes, you are responsible as an institution for all of the acts of your employees. Thus, you are doubly responsible for this murder.

We are writing this Letter of Demand to you to put you on notice that we hold you collectively and individually responsible and liable for the murder of our sister Victoria and for all of the loss, pain and suffering we have endured as a family because of Victoria 's death.

Prior to possible legal action against you, we therefore notify you through this Letter of our following demands. We call upon you to do the following:

1. Publicly admit to this crime and take unqualified responsibility for it.

2. Come to us and in front of our entire family, issue a public apology for the murder of Victoria , and explain why you colluded in this crime and suppressed knowledge and evidence of it.

3. Identify the whereabouts of Ann Knizky and help bring her to justice to be charged with murder, along with any accomplices or accessories.

4. At your expense, erect a public memorial to Victoria at the site of her murder, and at her gravesite in Kitkatla, B.C.

5. Issue reparation payments to our family, in an amount determined by us.

6. Present yourselves before a Public Commission of Inquiry and a court of law to answer charges of murder and obstruction of justice, not only regarding Victoria but the thousands of other children who died in your Indian residential schools.

Your church is continually speaking of wanting "healing and reconciliation" with residential school survivors. Here is your chance to actually do so. We want justice and accountability, not rhetoric.

You have thirty days as of this date to respond in writing to these demands. If you fail to do so, or fail to grant what we ask, we will proceed with direct actions against you.

Sincerely,

(signed in the original)

Eyewitness to Murder at Indian Residential School Names Kill

From Kevin Annett and Friends of the Disappeared:

The family of a child murdered at the United Church's Edmonton Indian residential school went public today at a downtown press conference in Vancouver, and named her killer.

Eliza Charlotte Stewart described the murder, and played a recording from her sister Inez Beryl Spencer, who personally witnessed the attack on their sister Victoria that caused her death.

Victoria, age nine, was struck on the head with a wooden two by four by a residential school staff member named Ann Knizky. Victoria died the next day.

"First I was hit on the back, and then Miss Knizky hit Vicky because she wasn't coming into school fast enough. She fell down some stairs" said Inez in her statement.

"That night Vicky started complaining about head aches and she died the next day in the Camsell hospital. Miss Knizky never was tried for killing her."

Eliza Stewart commented,

"Vicky was shipped back to us in a burlap sack and her brain was missing, so we think they did an autopsy and removed her brain to hide the injury done to it. They never told us anything. And the church then claimed she died of TB, but she never had it."

Eliza Stewart and her brother Moses called upon the United Church to identify the whereabouts of Ann Knizky so that she can be charged with murder, along with the church itself.

"They're not off the hook, just 'cause it happened years ago" said Moses Stewart.

"Even if Miss Knizky is dead, we want the United Church to stand trial too for how they covered this all up and protected a murderer."

The Stewart family will be issuing a formal Letter of Demand to the United Church of Canada and its officers this week, which will require them to surrender Ann Knizky and identify her accomplices, publicly admit its responsibility for the murder, erect a memorial for Victoria, and compensate the family for her loss.

The Stewarts will also be calling on the police to open a criminal investigation into Victoria's death.

The press conference was sparsely attended. Of sixteen media outlets contacted, only two reporters were present. Among the absent media was the so-called "Aboriginal Peoples' Television Network" (APTN).

In a final statement approved by the Stewarts, Kevin Annett of The Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared said,

"Thousands of children died in this manner in the Indian Residential Schools, and not one person in Canada has ever been charged for the death of a child there, or brought to trial. The government is even forbidding names of perpetrators to be named. We will not allow these churches to get away with murder. We call upon others to come forward and name those responsible for the death and torture of innocent children in the residential schools."

Further updates will follow once the police and United Church respond to the Stewarts, or fail to.

(A longer story along with pictures and video recordings of the event will be posted later this week on the website: www.hiddenfromhistory.org).

My thoughts and best wishes are with this brave woman. I have known the identity of the accused for about a year now, and it has been difficult for me to sit on that information until she and/or the other eyewitness was ready to come forward - so I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for these women to suffer in silence for so many years.

Naming names is the only way for Canada's First Nations residential school survivors to move forward. The Truth and Reconciliation committee that has been set up does not offer that opportunity; its mandate specifically states that the names of alleged abusers are not to be mentioned by survivors who give their testimony.

Those who are named can defend themselves and clear their names, or (if there is any actual justice in our justice system) face prosecution for their alleged crimes. Many survivors are reluctant to report abuse they suffered to the RCMP or other authorities, because law enforcement was a vital part of the residential school system. Going public with their stories is the only option left to them.

It's time for real truth and reconciliation in Canada.

"Leave it to Jehovah"

A middle-aged sex offender, dressed conservatively enough to impress, trudges from house to house in an unfamiliar neighborhood. He rings doorbells and quietly delivers his memorized spiel to any adults who answer.

He's not fulfilling his legal obligation to notify new neighbors that he's a convicted sex offender. He's a Jehovah's Witness. He has never spent a day in jail.

As reported by CBC's investigative news program the fifth estate ("Spiritual Shepherd"), Jehovah's Witnesses are experiencing many of the same child-molestation issues as the Catholic Church, thanks to a lax policy in reporting child sexual abuse to the proper authorities. Church elders are routinely instructed to contact their country's JW headquarters when alleged abuse is reported to them. The legal department will then instruct them to follow official protocol: Ask the accuser and accused if the allegations are true. If the accuser confesses, he/she should be counselled to repent. If the allegations are denied, "Leave it to Jehovah." The only way an alleged abuser can be considered guilty without confessing to his/her crime is if at least two witnesses saw the abuse occuring. This policy, in most U.S. states and throughout Canada, violates laws requiring citizens to report suspected child abuse to child welfare and/or police.

This policy - though denied by the church - has apparently been in place for decades, and is still in place today. Victims of sexual abuse have reported that their claims were minimized, refuted, or ignored by church authorities, and they're speaking out.

Accused child molestors who are not considered guilty by church authorities are still allowed to proselytize door-to-door, and to work one-on-one with children.

What to do if you suspect a church member has or is abusing a child:

1. Do not rely on church elders to resolve the problem. Go directly to the proper authorities. Jehovah may be in charge, but it's your legal responsibility to report suspected child abuse. If you don't, you may be aiding and abetting the sexual exploitation of children. This applies even if the suspected perpetrator is your own spouse, sibling, parent, friend, church elder, etc.

2. Notify church authorities after you've contacted child welfare or the police. Request that the accused not be allowed one-on-one contact with children in the church until the matter has been legally resolved, for the protection of the children and the church. If you are told that the matter should be resolved only within the church, point out that this is in violation of the law and could leave the church vulnerable to legal action.

3. Find out your church's policy on abuse claims. If it is not in line with the law, demand changes. Tell your fellow church members about the policy and encourage them to demand changes, as well. This is in the best interests of your children, your spiritual community, and your community in general.

What to do if have been or are you are a victim of sexual abuse by a church member:

1. Do not expect action from church authorities. Go to a social worker, trusted friend or family member, teacher or school staff member, a doctor or health worker, child welfare, the police, or other authority figure outside the church first. You can go to the church after you have turned to someone who is in a position to help you legally.

2. If someone in the church, even an elder, tries to minimize the abuse you have suffered, accuses you of lying, or tells you that it is in the best interests of everyone to keep the abuse a secret, do not accept this. You are the victim of a crime. You deserve to be heard and to have your claims investigated in a timely, legal, appropriate fashion.

3. If questioned by a church member about details of the abuse, do not give information you are not comfortable giving. You are not obligated, legally or spiritually, to give details that you do not want to reveal.

For more information on Jehovah's Witness child abuse, please visit silentlambs.org. This is an online community by and for victims of abuse whose claims were covered up or ignored by church authorities, and it provides a wealth of information on the issue. This is not just a JW problem. It affects our children and our communities. It's up to all of us to make sure that child sexual abuse is not tolerated for any reason.

Did You Save Your Receipt?

The problems that can result from foreign adoptions have little to do with the children.

I saw an immensely disturbing story on 20/20 tonight, about American couples who adopted Russian children, then had second thoughts.

The program focused on Michael and Tanya Mulligan, a Florida couple who adopted three Russian children, two girls and a boy. The boy suffers mild brain damage and sometimes acts out violently. The girls are better-behaved, but have sibling rivalry issues and some minor behavioral problems. The Mulligans are currently suing their adoption service because, as Michael Mulligan so delicately puts it, "When it comes down to dollars and cents, you're basically buying a child." And they feel that the three children they "bought" are defective merchandise.

Unable and/or unwilling to parent these children as they agreed to do, the Mulligans have dumped them off at a Montana ranch run by a woman who takes in adopted children and teens (mostly Russian and Eastern European) that other people don't want. The ranch accomodates 40 children at a time, and it's always full. It's like the SPCA for Russian adoptees. Foreign adoptees whose "parents" can't afford the boarding fees at the ranch or at boarding schools end up in an already overtaxed foster care system, in federally funded programs like Job Corps, or back in Russia.

One Russian child at the ranch, a 9-year-old, was placed in psychiatric care after only 5 weeks in the U.S. because her family was alarmed by the way she ran around their house "touching everything", and by her temper tantrums. She now appears to be a wholly socialized and normal child.

Would you place your 9-year-old in a psych ward for "touching things" and having tantrums? Probably not. Even if you wanted to do so, the system doesn't make it that easy for biological parents to cop out on their responsibilities. So why do we make it easy for adoptive parents?

Faced with the fact that her youngest adopted child is brain-damaged, Tanya Mulligan whines that she'll have to take care of him for the rest of his life. She also whines that non-adoptive parents can't understand her situation, "People don't understand. These kids come at you every day … many times a day. It's like a battering ram and they just keep at you and keep at you and keep at you." She wonders where things went wrong.

I think I might have some answers for you, Mrs. Mulligan...

1. You "buy" children from a foreign country, probably with the expectation that they will be extremely grateful to you for "rescuing" them from a life of squalor.
2. You don't bother to learn a single word of Russian. The children, of course, do not know any English. Why would they? They didn't know they were going to be purchased by Americans.
3. You encounter situations (rebellion, tantrums, brain damage, sibling rivalry) that can and do arise in biological families. Rather than accepting such travails as challenges of parenthood, you see them as evidence that you aren't getting your money's worth. Much like those middle-aged men who order desperate 20-year-old wives from Russia, then can't understand why they're dumped after the ladies' green cards arrive.

This is not to say that some adoption agencies/agents aren't unscrupulous, dishonest, or even criminal. Some are, and should be held accountable. But shouldn't there be some accountability for adoptive parents who abandon their children when things don't go their way? And isn't it time we teach people to carefully weigh the merits and downsides of foreign child-buying adoption before encouraging them to jump into it? Should books like Adoption for Dummies really be on our library shelves?

The program mentioned that 15 Russian children have been murdered by their American adoptive parents since the early 1990s, and described the death of Nina Hilt in 2005. The 2-year-old was severely beaten by her alcoholic adoptive mother, who became enraged when the toddler tried to "attack" her other adopted daughter. Nina died during a Fourth of the July vacation the following day. Peggy Hilt gave police and prosecutors a sob story about being so overwhelmed by caring for a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old that she simply had to drink a 12-pack of beer every day.
Rather than making an example of Hilt, a court recently reduced her sentence. A Newsweek story on the murder actually begins, "Peggy Hilt wanted to be a good mother". Would anyone say this about a woman who pummeled, shook, and kicked her biological toddler to death? God, I hope not.

This list of Russian-adoptee murders shows that in every case, the child had been in the U.S. for less than a year. In most of the cases, the murderers were middle-class, educated people with no history of violence. A notable exception is the case of Brenda and Bob Matthey, who seemed to enjoy sadistically punishing the 7-year-old Russian boy, Viktor, whom they froze to death by locking in an unheated crawlspace. The Mattheys were outwardly religious people who insisted that Viktor's Reactive Attachment Disorder and tantrums drove them to duct-tape his mouth, lock him in a crawlspace without access to a toilet, and force-feed him uncooked or salty food without water as a punishment. They also whipped their other six children (4 biological sons, plus Viktor's twin brothers) with a cat o' nine tails. According to one website, Viktor might have been a victim of controversial "attachment therapy" techniques.

Renee Polreis tried to convince a court that her 2-year-old Russian adopted son, David, beat himself to death with a wooden spoon. When that failed to convince, her attorney produced a pathologist who said the bruising could have been caused by pneumonia. Polreis insisted David had severe Reactive Attachment Disorder, despite a psychologist's testimony that he had watched David hug and kiss her a month before his murder.

I don't know how many Russian mail-order brides like Anastasia Solovieva have been slaughtered by their husbands, but I fear that number isn't good, either.

Why is this happening? Is it possible that some people don't feel the same empathy for their adopted children than they do for their own children? Some of these cases remind me of the torture death of Sylvia Likens at the hands of other teens and children, egged on by her guardian. This woman, Gertrude Banishewski, was not known to abuse her own 7 children, yet she had no difficulty beating, burning, starving, and molesting another child in her care. Similarly, the Mattheys did not lock their own children in unheated rooms when they misbehaved. Is it really the children who have attachment disorders in these instances?

While people like the Mulligans aren't abusive toward their adopted children, I wonder about the emotional trauma that could result when children are forcibly removed from their home countries, made to live in households in which no one speaks their languages, and abandoned if their reactions to their new environments become bothersome. It is painfully obvious that many adoptive parents aren't prepared for any sort of parenting, much less foreign adoptions.

Some choices are meant to be permanent. If you can't live with their consequences, then you shouldn't be making them.

The Greyhound Bus Terminal

My friend Joseph from New York sent me a postcard to ask what I think of the Greyhound Bus Terminal incident. This was my reply to his query:

Hello Joseph,

How are you? I hope you are doing well. I do have an interesting view of the bus incident, and it is definitely NOT like the mainstream median!:D

I give you a few examples of the subtle symbolism's I noticed with regards to the organizations involved in the event. The event itself I give to black majix performance, with the new moon of that day attempting to make a significant if not permanent change within our rule of law. Leo is the grand organizer, whom can pull strings to maintain a showmanship effect.

The colours of blue and red where significant, if one can consider whom the media looked to for guidance. Greyhound, Walmart (the accused' former work place), the RCMP, the local Manitoba Police, every media outlet, had colours blue&red. Trauma based mind control: the people insist that SOMETHING must be done. These 'organizations' respond.

This is just the beginning to use the north american union excuse to 'control' the masses because there is utter 'chaos'. I wish humanity would wake up and realize, but then again, I think they may have us by the balls under this whole economic structure. I hope Planet X comes to encapsulate these demons that are plundering our Earth at the moment. I'd like to believe that Planet X may return and have on it the Suns of the Serpent that have previously dealt with this menace. The cities feed off of the human race which I believe are the red & white blood cells of the earth, and the white blood cells come out to fight off disease when the global body has been infected. Anyone can watch a legend like movie where there is a civilization of white fighters defending an approaching enemy. Through the Hollywood-like thing called MK-ULTRA, we have been conditioned to believe that someone is going to come rescue us and it gives humanity a sense of dis-empowerment. We have lost our way, like Ron Paul will tell you. We must get back into strengthening the earth, therefore, strengthening ourselves. Also, the more the red blood cells for our Mother Earth, the HEALTHIER we are!!!!! So all non-white races must remain more plentiful than the white, otherwise Mother Earth will continuously be fighting off a disease that is within ourselves. This depletes the resources of the immune system for our planet.

If you can imagine, I'm told by other people everyday, 'crazy'. Then they move on with their day.

In Canada, the global empire is very apparent now, as we even have the stupid 'queen' on our $20 bill. I write a message on every talisman I get, attempting to inform through an unexpected median. I will be involved in a phone in to jam the telephone lines of my member of parliament to protest a north american union in September. I can forward the email I just received if you are so empowered to share in this experience. I can keep you updated with any information that you may require.

Love,
Rebecca

Update on Charles Camsell Hospital Site

(see post below this one for the story)

This is the first email I've received in response to my queries, and it gives me a small amount of hope that someone cares about this.

"Thank you for your concern regarding the possibility that this property may contain the unmarked graves of children that died at the hospital. We have researched this as best as we can but can find no evidence of graves at this time. However, care has been taken that all site work be stopped should any evidence of a grave be found.
We would appreciate your contact information so we can provide you with any useful information.
