The Residential School Deniers
As a comedy show our tone is light/juvenile, so we try not to cover topics that feel too raw and emotional. However, we certainly feel comfortable making fun of the idiots who deny the reality of residential schools. That's what this episode is all about, from Jason Kenny to evil Priests, we discuss the history denying fools clinging onto a misguided utopian view of a truly traumatic past. Warning we discuss historical quotes that use language that is no longer acceptable.
