226, Quebec's colonial and authoritarian past underlined by unmarked mass graves

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from researcher and activist Philippe Blouin, co-author of the important book "The Mohawk Warrior Society: A Handbook on Sovereignty and Survival." This interview specifically speaks about Philippe's efforts in support of the Mohawk Mothers to block a major construction site at the former location of the McGill University hospital which was also the location of the Allan Memorial Institute, the location where the CIA program Project MKUltra was run (look up a chapter in the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein about this). This program also impacted Indigenous children and the Mohawk Mothers have won a court injunction to block additional new construction at the site due to the possible presence of mass graves. Also Philippe speaks about another legal battle surrounding the Quebec government construction of a mass depot for the public alcohol commission in Quebec, the SAQ, which is the former location of a mass orphanage at the Saint-Jean-de-Dieu Hospital, one of the institutions where orphans and Indigenous children were housed, this is another location where state backed mind control experiments took place. Background information on this case here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-saq-warehouse-asylum-gravesite-1.7107419 Get information on Philippe's book here: https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1266 The accompanying photo is a still from a TV news report on the issue.
