This is foul. A reader reached out and told me the first google result when you search "kamloops unmarked graves discovery" is residential school denial. I did the search myself, and I found the same thing. The first non-sponsored result is the Fraser Institute's residential school denial.
Google search result for "kamloops unmarked graves discovery" has, as its first non-sponsored post, a publication from the Fraser Institute.

It reads: "No evidence of 'mass graves' or 'genocide' in residential ..."

"Feb 12, 2024 — ... Kamloops narrative are either false or highly exaggerated. No unmarked graves have been discovered at Kamloops or elsewhere-not one. As of ... Read more"Another screenshot shows the only result before the Fraser Institute result is a sponsored post from Angus Reid, affirming that the Fraser Institute result is the first non-sponsored one.Screenshot shows the intial response Google provides to the search "kamloops unmarked graves discovery"

All you can see on this first screenshot is the AI overview (barf) and the sponsored result from Angus Reid. However, as the other screenshots show, that Angus Reid result is followed by the first non-sponsored result: residential school denial from the Fraser Institute.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

This is noteworthy. Again, no compelling evidence supports the COVID lab leak theory. The furin cleavage site present in SARS-CoV2 was perceived as unusual, fueling the lab leak theory. But now we understand that other bat betacoronaviruses have it. 🧪 www.chemistryworld.com/news/does-th...

Does the discovery of a new coronavirus upend the Covid-19 lab-leak hypothesis?
