The fight for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada is facing a serious challenge—not just from ignorance, but from political figures who actively deny or diminish the atrocities of residential schools.

In a recent incident, British Columbia MLA, Dallas Brodie, was removed from the B.C. Conservative Party, after making dismissive remarks about residential school survivors. While some leaders, including B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad, condemned her racist remarks and removed her from caucus, others defended her under the guise of “free speech.” Her removal led to defections from the party, revealing stark differences in how political leaders approach reconciliation and historical truths.
