Canada : "The taming of the savages" news that broke the heart of "Justin Trudeau" and Canada is waking up late

A mass grave containing the remains of 15 children was discovered at Kamloops Aboriginal School in Canada, which sheds new light on a major unknown human tragedy that lasted for about a century and a half.

This close time event revived distant tragic events, and showed that the mass graves of student children in boarding schools that were prepared with the aim of “domesticating” the indigenous population are real, and not as previously thought they were just myths!

Between 1863 and 1996, more than 150,000 children attended Aboriginal boarding schools. In these schools, children were separated from their families and prevented from speaking their mother tongue and practicing their cultural customs. There they were subjected to violence, forced labor and malnutrition, and at least 3,000 students died in those harsh conditions. There were rumors of secret mass graves in indigenous boarding schools, but they were considered myths and have no basis.

Ignoring this major crime continued until 2015, when the Canadian authorities recognized that the policy of forced integration of indigenous peoples was "cultural genocide!", while Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, made an official apology for it in 2017.

The "Kamloops" boarding school in which the mass grave of children was found was considered the largest institution of its kind in the country, and it was opened in 1890 under the administration of the Catholic Church, and in 1950 it included about 500 children.

The administration of this boarding school was transferred to the Canadian government in 1969, and it was provided with a dormitory for students, while it was finally closed in 1978, and now there is a museum and a public square in the building.

In these indigenous schools, systematic methods of humiliation and violence were practiced under the protection of the state and the church, with the aim of taming those who were described as "savages", which caused the death of many, but the total number of victims is unknown, and the worst thing is that the Canadian authorities had information about 51 Only deaths of students in boarding schools between 1914-1963.

Since the nineteenth century, Canadian authorities have been inspired by the idea of ​​boarding schools specializing in the "taming" of Indigenous children from the United States, where similar schools began operating in the aftermath of the American Civil War.

The main goal of such forced schools was expressed by Lieutenant Richard Pratt, the founder of the first school for Indians in the United States, when he said, "It is necessary to kill an Indian to save a human being," and by his words he means to achieve this by depriving the Indians of their culture, customs, and language.

In that long and terrible ordeal, the children were separated from their families and isolated for several months, and the management of those boarding schools sought to deprive them of their own cultural identity. And intelligence in the societies of the Indians.

Pupils, boys and girls, were forced to abandon their traditional clothes and wear a uniform school uniform, and in many cases their original names were taken from them and replaced with Christian ones.

The main focus was on language, and for the Indian students to learn English or French, completely refraining from speaking their native languages. Whoever violated those strict rules, and was caught red-handed speaking in his mother tongue, was subjected to various forms of punishment, including deprivation of food, washing the mouth with soap, and sometimes the students were punished for speaking their native languages, with electric shocks or acupuncture!

Canada's Minister of Aboriginal Affairs Caroline Bennett, on the occasion of the discovery of the mass grave, pointed out that boarding schools were part of a colonial policy that deprived Aboriginal children of their families, and that: "Thousands of children were sent to these schools and never returned to their families."

As for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, he said that the news of the mass grave in Kamloops "broke his heart," and described those boarding schools as "a painful reminder of a dark and shameful chapter in Canadian history."

Such human tragedies and catastrophes bring to mind an urgent question, as how long does it take for people to wake up from their coma and admit that their brutal treatment of others different from them over many years is a crime that must be stopped? On this occasion at least, Canadians got up late! The last boarding school of this kind was closed in 1996, meaning that the crime of "cultural genocide", on a relative time scale, was continuing until yesterday!

The Wall Street Journal Published : Signs of tension in the “OPEC plus” cartel between Saudi Arabia and Russia

The Wall Street Journal published a report prepared by Sumer Saeed and Benoit Faucon, in which they said that signs of disagreements had emerged between Saudi Arabia and Russia regarding the reduction of oil production.

 They said that Russia is pumping large quantities of crude oil and selling it at cheap prices, which has affected Riyadh's efforts to increase energy prices. Saudi Arabia, the de facto leader of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting and Producing Countries (OPEC), expressed concern about Russia's failure to abide by its promise to cut production in response to Western sanctions. The newspaper quoted people as saying that Saudi officials had complained to Russian officials and demanded that they respect the production cut.

The sources said that the disagreement was very clear between the two largest oil producers in the world, ahead of a crucial meeting between OPEC members and a group of oil producers led by Russia, known as OPEC Plus, in Vienna on the fourth of June. The second of the year, amid growing fears of a global economic slowdown that is hampering energy demand.

The newspaper added that the Saudi Energy Minister issued at the beginning of the week a warning to oil speculators, indicating that further production cuts are on the table amid expectations of short-term positions and Russia's failure to fulfill the voluntary cut it promised, at a time when Russian President Vladimir Putin said that oil prices It has reached “economically justified” levels, indicating that the need may not necessitate new changes in oil production policy.

The OPEC+ meeting comes after Saudi Arabia, Russia and other members of the cartel said they would cut production in an expected attempt to prop up oil prices. Saudi Arabia began cutting oil production this month, while Russia said it may extend unilateral restrictions that took effect in March to the end of the year. The latest available data reveals that Russia continues to pump large amounts of oil into the market in a way that has increased income for its embattled economy, but has pushed excess quantities into the global market, traders and industry officials say.

 Oil prices are down about 10% from where they were in early April, despite the intervention of the Saudi leadership, and are down sharply from the highs seen in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine early last year. On Friday, the price of Brent crude increased by 0.9% and reached 76.95%.

According to the newspaper, it is not clear whether Saudi Arabia will take immediate action that would affect the energy alliance with Russia.

 Disagreements between Riyadh and Moscow are not new to the OPEC plus cartel. In March 2020, oil prices collapsed after Saudi Arabia failed to agree on an emergency plan to address the supply glut. The two countries entered into a price war, in which Saudi Arabia tried to obtain a share of the market at the expense of Russia. Saudi Arabia and Russia are allied in the overall effort to prop up energy prices, drawing a rebuke from the White House, which viewed the decision as an expression of distress and suggested that OPEC Plus was helping Russia's war machine in Ukraine. Apart from oil cooperation, cooperation did not lead to many results in the field of security and trade.

Last week, Saudi Arabia invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to attend an Arab summit as a guest, helped negotiate a prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine, and announced $400 million in aid for Kiev. The energy ministries of the two countries did not respond to a request for comment.

In a statement by the Russian Deputy Prime Minister, Alexander Novak, at the beginning of this month, he confirmed that Russia is committed to voluntary reduction of oil production by 500,000 barrels from March until the end of the year. Moscow said it would cut its oil production by about 5 percent after the Group of Seven imposed a ceiling on the prices of Russian oil and petroleum products.

“Taking into account unfounded speculations in the press regarding oil production levels, Russia reaffirms its full commitment and implementation of voluntary oil production cuts,” Novak said in a statement.

In the past few weeks, the Russian Energy Ministry has contacted energy publications and told them that it will postpone the closure of some oil wells due to non-exceptional weather conditions in parts of the country. The ministry said that the country was able to produce 400,000 barrels per day at the beginning of May, close to the level it pledged to maintain.

 Last week, it pressured secondary sources to change their oil production estimates, but the agencies rejected the request, people said. There are no demands from Russia to provide data to OPEC plus about the levels of production cuts, but the discrepancy added to the tensions within OPEC plus about reducing production rates.

 The newspaper says that Western sanctions on Russian oil have accelerated the shift in global energy flows, as China and India have increasingly benefited from Russian oil at discounted prices, while suppliers in the Middle East have directed their crude oil to Europe.

In March, Russia overtook Saudi Arabia as China's largest oil supplier, while last month India's imports of Russian oil exceeded supplies from Saudi Arabia and Iraq combined for the first time ever, according to data from Vortexa, a data commodities company.

Saudi officials and others familiar with Saudi oil policy say Riyadh is under pressure to maintain high oil prices, with its budget requiring an estimated $81 a barrel — about $5 more than current levels. The kingdom also needs to pay for massive development projects at home, some of which are very large, including a resort on the Red Sea the size of Belgium, with Maldivian-style hotels hovering over the water, and a futuristic, high-tech city in the desert costing half a billion dollars, which is 33 largest.
