The incidents began with Sacred Heart Mission and St. Gregory Mission in BC on June 21, leading to a wave of arsons across Canada targeting nearly 120 churches.
Sergeant Jason Bayda stated that the burning of four Catholic churches on Indigenous land was 'extremely suspicious,' highlighting the alarming pattern of attacks.
At least 40 Catholic churches have been arsoned since June 2021, with only 12 people charged, revealing a troubling response to these acts of violence.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's response to the church burnings has been contradictory, conveying that while the attacks are 'unacceptable and wrong,' the motives are 'fully understandable'.
