Langevin did not invent oppression or genocide, both were in existence long before he showed up. There was a widespread belief at the time that residential schools were a good idea. Obviously to modern eyes they are a terrible and appalling idea. But at the time they were supported by both political parties, the media, intellectuals, the medical community, etc. The last residential school closed in 1997. Should we also purge all PMs before Chrétien from history?
