A British Columbia mayor has been censured by city council – stripping him of his travel and lobbying budgets and removing him from city committees – for allegedly distributing a book that questions the history of Indigenous residential schools in Canada.
QUESNEL, B.C. - Councillors in Quesnel, B.C., voted unanimously to censure their mayor, saying his actions related to a book that denies the harms of Canada's residential school system have jeopardized the city's relationship with Indigenous communities.
