Failure to think about the British record in Ireland, perhaps. Not thinking about the mere size of India, so that if things go wrong, huge numbers of people die.
So why did the Canadian atrocities against First Peoples surprise you?
I am not so much surprised with the atrocities against natives. Those are common. It is a bit surprising to learn it about Canada, because the country has a good reputation and its history is not that well known.
But:
Overcrowding, poor sanitation, and a lack of medical care led to high rates of tuberculosis, and death rates of up to 69 percent.
Those were schools! Schools with a death rate is so much against anything that I consider a school to be about. Its just wrong.
It just looks like a relabeled death camp, and that defeats the point of education. That amount of ignorance is just mindblowing.
