StrandedonEarth Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Last weekend, the local news was ablaze with news that will reopen a dark chapter in Canadian history. Privately funded efforts using ground-penetrating radar discovered an unmarked mass grave containing the remains of 215 children on the grounds of the former residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia. That's just one school, of thirty. While tales of the horrors of residential schools are old, now there is hard evidence that will launch what will probably be the largest investigation in Canadian history. It'll be interesting to see where all this comes to rest, considering the last residential school in Canada closed in 1996. Since this topic will naturally turn heavily political, religious, and other TOS-crossers, I will decline further comment or links on this. Anyone interested is free to perform their own research on the topic. Hopefully, these poor lost souls will soon be able to rest in peace.

DDE Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Catherine Serou, whoever you actually were. The official version is that she had a one-night stand with the wrong guy, and then threatened to report him for sexual assault (his previous conviction for this exact crime doesn't exactly add weight to his denial). However, the odd career path of an American ex-Marine (certain sources add "sniper" and "Afghanistan") heading to get her law degree at a Nizhnyi Novgorod university already fuels speculation. She wouldn't be the first Russia-loving ex-Marine with a weird career trajectory to invite attention from Russian security services. https://www.npr.org/2021/06/18/1008208061/a-u-s-citizen-has-gone-missing-in-russia-sparking-a-criminal-investigation https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/missing-american-woman-found-dead-russia-suspect-arrested-2021-06-19/ https://m.gazeta.ru/social/2021/06/19/13653962.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpilot Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Barry Marsden founder of Abbotsford BC based air firefighting group Conair Inc has passed away. He was one of the pioneers in aerial firefighting and Conair operated CV340s (below) and Avro RJ85 (bottom) are normal sights at CYXX (Abbotsford airport). Not really a celebrity but he helped fight the fires destroying forest in BC. Edited August 10, 2021 by Stormpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
