SOME NEW UPDATES FROM MY MSMERMAID LIFE---HERE'S JUST ONE OF THEM...

O CANADA....THE "MASS GRAVE HOAX IS FALLING APART...WHO WILL ANSWER FOR THE BURNT CHURCHES? THE GLOBE AND MAIL ISSUES A DEFICIENT APOLOGY

We've been following what was certainly an obvious hoax from day thanks to friends and family in Canada, the antics of then prime minister Trudeau, and the watchful eye of local REDPAPAYRUS (our last post was in late April here).

And now the latest--trending on social media----THE "MASS GRAVE
HOAX IS FALLING APART...WHO WILL ANSWER FOR THE BURNT CHURCHES? THE GLOBE AND MAIL ISSUES A DEFICIENT APOLOGY



Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail issued a sniveling apology Sunday for perpetuating the false claim that Native American children had been buried in a “mass grave” near residential school grounds.

Former chief of the Kamloops Indian Band, Rosanne Casimir, published a press release in May 2021 claiming to have obtained “confirmation” of the remains of 215 students of the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Following the announcement, a wave of arson against Catholic and other Christian churches ensued.  MORE AT The 'Mass Grave' Hoax Is Falling Apart. Who Will Answer For The Burnt Churches?

FROM THE MAILBOX...

A reader asks: I have an old and still working beautifully, Singer sewing machine I no longer use and would like to do donate it. Are the Methodists still collecting these?

Response: Asbury used to collect sewing machines (and bicycles) under an initiative known as PEDALS FOR PROGRESS. To my knowledge, the last PEDALS FOR PROGRESS collection was in 2019 at Asbury and was coordinated by Croton Lay Interfaith (see EverythingCroton: PHOTO ALBUM & NEWS FROM THE 2019 PEDALS FOR PROGRESS BIKE & SEWING MACHINE COLLECTION)

You can always check with Asbury directly--be aware---they have a new website hosting here

Response: Sorry but not many can recommend the site in question. Doing your own due diligence, however, is the best recommendation.  You'll probably reach the same conclusion.
