CBC News has examined 33 Canadian churches that burned to the ground since May 2021. Just two were ruled accidental.
Investigators have determined that 24 were deliberately set while others are still under investigation. Some researchers and community leaders suggest Canada's colonial history and recent discoveries of potential burial sites at former residential schools may have lit the fuse.
33 down, hundreds more to go!
..Because they tortured the indigenous people for a century.
Fuck religion.
The buildings tortured them?

Hmm.. That or Canada has suddenly developed a thriving Black Metal scene.
Well, either way, it would be for very similar reasons.
That is pretty messed up.
I know, right? Why didn't god stop his tax exempt extortion businesses from burning down?
God willed it.
While I understand the anger at the residential system I wouldn't go and burn the buildings down. My mom is a residential school survivor and I'm sure it was a significant factor that affected that side of my family in various (negative) ways. I still wouldn't go and burn down the church.
