Episode description

Canada’s dark legacy of residential schools has forced back into the spotlight with the discovery of 215 unmarked graves at a site in Kamloops. It has renewed calls for reconciliation, while reminding Canadians that thousands of Indigenous children who were taken from their homes never returned.   And it has once again sparked pressure on governments to do their part to find where children may be buried   National Post political reporter Ryan Tumilty joins Dave to discuss the push to search other sites across the country, and next steps in Canada’s attempts at reconciliation.   Background reading: Trudeau says federal government will help find other residential school gravesites   Residential school remains could reveal how 215 children lived — and died, experts say   The Indian Residential School Survivors Society emergency crisis line is available 24/7 for those that may need counselling support.
