As a kid there’s no doubt in my mind I was a troublemaker. With my father hardly ever around, who was to stop me. I had a great time doing just about anything I could think short of crime. But it could have easily led there. I’ll explain later when I comment on Ashley Smith.

I the meantime this bit of news excerpt brought back memories of multiple times when my mother would threaten to send me to one of those residential schools.

My standard answer at the time was that I was going to runaway. I guess we’ll never know the outcome of that story for sure, but we sure do know about all the terrible deeds that took place in those schools.

Shame on them all. And ditto for all the authorities who knew all along conspired and never did anything about it till many decades later.

All guilty !
