For the Children

Canada: 751 unmarked graves found at residential school ... Between 1863 and 1998, more than 150,000 indigenous children were taken from their families and placed in these schools throughout Canada. [More]

And guess what made it all possible!

It created the North-West Mounted Police (the ancestor of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police), and tried to disarm the Indians (who were not considered full British subjects). 

There goes another childhood hero.

It really does look like they initially had the proper attitude on an armed citizenry before the violence monopolists managed to swindle everyone out of their birthrights, eh?
