In Alberta, Canada, a series of church burnings has culminated with four churches being set ablaze just before Christmas. These incidents are part of a disturbing trend that has seen 87 churches attacked since 2021, with a total of 96 churches burned or vandalized across Canada. The attacks began after false claims that the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found at a former residential school, which have not been substantiated with human remains to date. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have not commented on these events. True North Centre and cosminDZS have documented the attacks, noting 44 arsons and 52 acts of vandalism, in an interactive map. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's handling of the situation has been met with criticism, and the pattern of attacks is being described as Christophobia in Canada.

Who coined the phrase " burn it all down"? It certainly wasn't an Indigenous person. This is what happens when extremists prey on vulnerable Indigenous communities/people. They take our hardships and use it to their advantage. This is not reconciliation and it was something… https://t.co/YQBooYkZ70
