Some of us are able to see these things for what they truly are - excuses to gaslight and cause destruction.
Politicians are not sincere about 'reconciliation' - they politicize for personal gain.
Same goes for the FN leaders and advocacy groups. They realize that this can be exploited for increased financial support.
Finally we have the taxpayer who will bear this burden. The blood is not on their hands yet they will pay the price.
We cannot revive the dead nor can we put the dead on trial. Therefore the 'reconciliation' is simply a dollar amount.
What's the magic number for restitution? The answer is infinity because it will never be enough.
One can only dine on the corpse of Western Civilization for so long. Flawed as they were, the world we enjoy now was built by stronger and wiser people than the 'leaders' we have today.
The magic number is $1.6 Billions. This is what Canada paid the survivors of chapter schools after the reconciliation report came out and Trudeau aplogized in 2017. Who actually got the money? My guess is lawyers and Chiefs.
Your unsupported opinions say a lot about you.
