CROP OVER 2021
” Government is expected to showcase a new look Crop Over this year, and details on the rollout should be publicised by the end of this month.
That is according to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office with responsibility for Culture John King. He was speaking to the media at the end of a presentation by fellow entertainer Desmond “Fowl” Weekes at Sky Mall, St Michael this morning.”

@ David,
Canada has a history of abusing the indigenous people.
The worst atrocities appear to be by Anglican priests who ran the residential schools.
Trudeau is continuing the apologies for past evil deeds.

Residential schools were run by different religious denominations but Roman Catholics ran the majority of them and I’m not sure that your assertion that Anglicans were responsible for the worst atrocities is correct

From wiki
On May 27, 2021, officials revealed multiple unmarked graves containing the remains of 215 Indigenous children, including some as young as 3, had been found on the grounds of Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia operated by the Catholic Church between 1890 and 1978. “It is a painful reminder of that dark and shameful chapter of our country’s history,” tweeted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in response to the discoveries. Thousands of children enrolled in the Canadian Indian residential system remain missing and unaccounted for.[12] Despite direct requests, the Catholic Church has steadfastly refused to formally apologize for abuses that occurred within the residential schools under their charge in Canada. In 2018, Pope Francis rejected a direct appeal for an apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.[1

@Sargeant,
respect for correcting me.
” Between 1820 and 1969, the Anglican Church ran three dozen “Indian” and “Eskimo” residential schools and hostels, many of which were built by the federal government. As the church itself concedes, the goal of the schools was the assimilation of educated Indigenous peoples into the non-aboriginal world — “the ‘savage’ child would surely be re-made into the ‘civilized’ adult.”
