Of course being born in Canda, and partially educated there I don't have nearly the understanding a Brit like you does.

And no, I cited an article on the Queen and the Pope as heads of state both being called to account for their nations (assuming the Vatican is a nation) role in examples of the Catholic Church's handiwork in Canada.

As far as I know the Queen is bound by her predecessor's treaties. Perhaps there is some new law or rule in the UK differing from this.

Ah, that old chesnut. Youre a Canadian so know more than me, yet you still love to pontificate on the UK constitution and law. Got to love the double standards.

So you tell me brains, who makes the law in Canada ? My understanding is that that would be the Canadian Parliament, just as UK law is made by the UK Parliament. I would guess the Queen is just a constitutional figurehead for ceremonial purposes in Canada, and has no say in law making, just as she is in the UK.

Andyes, The vatican is a Nation State, as any schoolboy or girl here could tell you.

So when have I ever lectured you on UK law?

But since you are so clever, tell me who made the treaties with the First Nations way back when? Was it in the name of the monarch, of the usually non-existent government of what later was Canada, or the British Parliament?

And the Canadian nation did not exist in its present state before 1982, and in defense of the current Canadian nation of which I am a citizen, they closed down these residential schools and undid a lot of the other racist mischief operated by these monsters pretty quickly when the new constitution and the resulting government of Canada did take the helm.

So in short this Catholic church assisted genocide pretty well exclusively occurred during your Imperial territorial and colonial rule, if you want to qualify the timeline on it, and where it fits on Canada's paper strewn trail to independence.
