Canada is in the grip of a ‘mass grave/missing children’ psychosis related to Indian Residential Schools. Contrary to claims in the Reid Gerbrandt - Sean Carleton report, “Debunking the “Mass Grave Hoax”: A Report on Media Coverage and Residential School Denialism in Canada” the media never corrected these stories.

Rational Dissent and Informed Consent Meet Cancel Culture over Climate

Social scientists have been active participants in assessing and debunking climate change denialism. This paper applies the Scientific Method (Armstrong & Green 2022) to deconstruct the work of Haney (2022) who theorized that the massive 2013 flood in the City of Calgary, home to many oil sands and oil/gas industry head offices, would be understood by those well-to-do energy industry executives, living alongside the rivers, as evidence of climate change. Haney’s analysis of interviews with 40 such individuals assumes that it is a case of confirmation bias related to their livelihood or fear of change, that these people continue to hold dissenting views on climate. This paper will expose the bias, flaws, and lack of research integrity in Haney (2022). Stirling, the author of this paper, acknowledges a direct connection to Friends of Science Society, referred to by Haney, though this is an independent work of hers. Continue Reading →

Ambiguous Losses: Epidemics, Orphans and Unmarked Graves

I find the present public obsession with Indigenous graves and genocide destructive to the future of Indigenous youth and the future of Canada.  I do believe that people are missing loved ones, and I believe it is related to the phenomenon of ‘ambiguous losses’ as outlined in the forward.  I hope this collection of essays might offer some insights on this complex and, for many, painful historical topic of Indian Residential Schools.
