"The reality, for some of those children, was a childhood of servitude and hard labour at foster homes: on remote farms, at state-run orphanages and church-run institutions. They were often separated from siblings. Some were subjected to physical and sexual abuse."

Charles is one of 75 children whose remains lie buried, unmarked and virtually forgotten in a pair of mass graves at an Etobicoke cemetery. They were drops in the wave of British home children, sent in droves from the U.K. to build a fresh life on Canadian soil.

Now a research group has dug up their identities...

"Thousands of orphaned and poor children were sent to fill the labour shortages overseas during the late Victorian era. Although the incentives were to give these young children a better life, the reality was very different. Children were unpaid and had no choice in their move. They were separated from family, and many were abused or neglected by those that took them in as cheap labour."

'People thought we were scum' - forgotten legacy of British children sent to Canada
Some 115,000 British children were taken from their orphan homes and sent to Canada decades ago, where many suffered abuse and were put to work. They're still waiting for an apology from Canada.

"Home Children was the child migration scheme founded by Annie MacPherson in 1869, under which more than 100,000 children were sent from the United Kingdom to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa. The programme was largely discontinued in the 1930s but not entirely terminated until the 1970s."

Meanwhile, Queen Victoria doubled the size of the greatest empire the world has ever known.
The English language dominates the civilized world. Britain paved the way for the United States to establish the Pax Americana after WW2. Together, the Anglosphere won the Cold War. All because of English colonialism.

Not quite understanding you, except that you are opposed to the British dominating the world.

Since in the game of Worldopoly, there will always be a leader, which other nation would you prefer to dominate the known world?
And why?

Secondly, are you aware that the combined +200,000 children who were forced to slave labour in Australia, Canada and South Africa (all British colonies) had no part or responsibility in colonialism?

Im not sure where you stand on child trafficking at this point.
