I was curious if aptn ever got their interview with Mark after publishing this in April 2025. I found one from July when he took a trip home, but nothing in there regarding his dad's work.

CBC also did a decent overview on this in Apr '25 (for anyone looking for more info about Robert and the day school).

Along with the quotes from former students in OP's link, this really thoughtful piece from the authors cited in the cbc news report was worth the read imo, if anyone's interested. Again, April '25.

Outlets involved in the residential school denialist movement—e.g. Western Standard, Rebel News, Woke Watch Canada etc.—have published articles trying to link Mark Carney, by association, to his father’s residential school denialism. Ironically, many of these pundits claim that residential school denialism does not exist. Yet, in the same breath, some are going so far as to speculate whether the Prime Minister himself might be a residential school denialist because he has said little about his father specifically or truth and reconciliation generally.

Many of the articles present facts about Robert Carney’s connections to schooling systems for Indigenous Peoples; however, they do so in misleading and dishonest ways that twists the complex truth about colonialism and schooling in Canada.

Even broken clocks are right twice a day; that’s also a fact, but we don’t set our watches to them to tell the time, lest we be misled. [...]

[O]ur task is to guide public understanding with nuanced, historical work that promotes empathy, understanding, healing, and justice.

In that spirit, here is what we know about Robert Carney’s involvement in colonial education.
