MiloMorai Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 6 minutes ago, Stuart Galbraith said: The UK had a policy in the 50s of removing children from single mothers and problem families, and shipping them off to Australia, put in homes, where they were abused. It seemed like a good idea, give them new lives in a new environment.. Not just to Ozland but to Canada as well. Between 1869 and the late 1930s, over 100,000 juvenile migrants were sent to Canada from the British Isles during the child emigration movement. Motivated by social and economic forces, churches and philanthropic organizations sent orphaned, abandoned and pauper children to Canada. Many believed that these children would have a better chance for a healthy, moral life in rural Canada, where families welcomed them as a source of cheap farm labour and domestic help. After arriving by ship, the children were sent to distributing and receiving homes, such as Fairknowe in Brockville, and then sent on to farmers in the area. Although many of the children were poorly treated and abused, others experienced a better life and job opportunities here than if they had remained in the urban slums of England. Many served with the Canadian and British Forces during both World Wars.
R011 Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 Before the residential school scandal, we had the Mount Cashel Orphanage scandal. Ireland had the Magdalene Laundries. No one was willing to listen to the victims. It's not much different from the Rotherham scandal - marginalized kids are easy to exploit because they somehow deserve it and addressing the problem would cause inconvenience to the establishment. Incidentally, no one has been charged for residential school abuse even though abusers still live and there is plenty of sworn testimony.

MiloMorai Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Well Tim, Canada has been doing a pretty good job controlling the covid, so far, which can't be said for the USA.
rmgill Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Hmm. How much of this is draconian policy and how much is demographics and population density? Will Canada be seeing more cases over time?

I suspect that the vast majority of the difference between the US and Canada when it comes to COVID-19 is down to 2 factors: 1. Universal health care 2. De-politicization of the issue in that, with some exceptions, the political parties are on the same page when it comes to health measures and follow the science, not what they think will get them votes.

For example, NYC was caught in political infighting and empire making between mayor and governor. Here, it is no secret the Mayor of Toronto and the Premier of Ontario are less than best buds, yet their respective administrations cooperated reasonably well.
