The editor writes the following:

"But (the judge) also rightly blames Christian missionaries who urged residents to abandon old traditions, and the sexual abuse suffered by young Pikangikum children at residential schools, for the breakdown of the family unit."

Hello?

The judge "rightly blames", say the editors, Christian missionaries and sexual abuse at residential schools for the "breakdown of the family unit"?

Where is the scientific study of that town that proves that was the cause?

Look, sexual abuse of kids has been happening from Boston to Toronto to San Francisco, from upper class to middle class to lower class, from hockey leagues to Catholic sunday schools to summer camps. And Christian missionaries peddled their wares from Malaysia to Korea to China. 

And we do not see sky high suicide rates and family unit breakdowns en masse in those places.

Where is the scientific study proving what the editors claim?
