Here's a particularly hard hitting article.

http://www.parentcentral.ca/parent/news ... -societies

"More First Nations children are in the care of children's aid societies today than were forced to live in residential schools at the height of that shameful chapter in Canadian history.
Although numbers are difficult to obtain – particularly in Ontario, which has the largest population of First Nations people – Blackstock estimates there are 27,000 aboriginal children in foster care across Canada. That's three times as many children as were shipped off to residential schools at the peak of their operation in 1948 and 1949, she said."

How does this article suggest that Residential Schools were "not so bad?"
