A Canadian investigation into alleged mass graves at a residential school has concluded that the reports were a hoax, leading to significant repercussions. Over 200 churches and three buildings, including the century-old Saint Jude's Anglican Church in Greenwood, British Columbia, were burned in response to the initial claims. The Canadian government spent $8 million on the investigation, which found no evidence of the alleged mass graves. This incident has been described as an international humiliation, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau facing criticism for his handling of the situation, including making it illegal to question the allegations.
