Mark Milke: MP Leah Gazan's bill to criminalize residential school views labelled 'denialist' is a mistake.

He says the bill would criminalize Indigenous Canadians who have publicly “condoned, or at least partly justified, residential schools.

Milke says it's too easy to forget the limited choices that existed for 19th- and early 20th-century Canadians .
