It’s unlikely to placate a growing constituency of skeptical researchers that has sprung up in reaction to the Trudeau Liberals’ role in inciting an eruption of national hysteria that began with incendiary claims that a “mass grave” had been discovered in a Kamloops orchard in May, 2021.

It may not deflate a move entertained by a succession of Liberal cabinet ministers to criminalize skepticism about lurid and dubious claims involving Catholic acts of cruelty and sadism during the Indian residential school era. The push to equate such skepticism with Holocaust denial is notably unconcerned with facts, anyway.
