Just to be sure I understand you, your consider the federal supported residential schools (which began with a commissioned study by CONSERVATIVE PM John A MacDonald and which resulted in his government committing federal funding these schools and which Conservative PM Robert Borden made compulsory for all Indian children to attend when his government passed the Indian Act in 1920) to be a Liberal problem? How? by not defeating the conservatives and preventing the conservatives from starting the schools in the first place?

The liberals and conservatives to blame ...
PET did zero , neither did any other Liberals since
JT would have done zero but now there is no choice
And all along the church has been mum as well
Pointing fingers only one way is childish ...
this has many fingerprints, and zero are the average Canadians today or even in the past 100 plus years
They all knew what happened, they absolutely lie if they say otherwise .

That would be the ruling elite from the laurentians in Quebec

Be interesting to see how many conservative prime ministers said anything like this

More seen as a western Canadian problem so not realy any reason to do anything much?
Leave it for someone who cares as most rez traditionaly vote NDP. Been kicked down the road for generations.
Many policy changes along the way but no solutions.
Never will be?
Ad hoc payments are the rule.
Kick the can again as there is no lasting solution out on the rez.

The federal govt will never address the native issue because doing so opens up the end of the country.

If they were to make a grand settlement; land and some sort of autonomous government, then you can bet quebec will be right in there behind them with the unique culture founding nation argument and carve even more for themselves.

Then you would have a real look at the Frankenstein monster this country really is. One group with true land rights, another carving out their own country and the RoC living as 2nd class citizens paying for the other 2. Would be the end and maybe it should be.

Governments and Universities need to go with 3-d holographic alternating statues, problem solved.
But you just know there would be some stoner out with his spray can . . . .

Some posters like to describe the wrong done to first nations as from a 100 years ago.

The last residential school closed was in Punnichy SK in 1996.

The intergenerational trauma continue. The systemic racism continues. The third world living conditions and lower living standards continue. The colonial Indian act continues. The poverty and poor social conditions on reserves continue.

In most cases first nations were coerced and removed forcibly from their lands so that settlers could take over. Settlers, the railways, the HBC and NWC benefited from relatively free access to land and resources. Some landowners got freehold mineral rights with the surface. The Provinces got the rest.

The first Nations who were previous owners and occupiers, got very little land or the mineral resources that went with the land in exchange for unfullfilled treaties and decades of second class treatment.

The mistreatment of first nations people is still with us here and now and continues.

Third world conditions are mostly due to unaccountably, and are far and few between now
Do they exist, absolutely
But like most agendas nowadays, things are greatly over exaggerated.
If you feel so bad give your land back ... then you will have the right to preach to everyone else . Otherwise give it a rest . Buy your EV yet ? Or just want to preach to everyone about that too ?
Have a good day
Be glad it rained a bit

That's what is wrong with this country, people think you deserve or don't deserve rights based on your race.

Us and them, is a losing strategy.

The colonial Indian act continues. The poverty and poor social conditions on reserves continue. .

A few yrs ago govt floated ending the Indian Act, converting reserves into municipalities, letting indians subdivide, confer private ownership to their their people, develop, tax and borrow against their land base to invest in some income generating economic activity. Reserves have 9m acres of land in this country. Rough back of the paper calcs would give them tens of billions in borrowing power. Leverage it all up and go buy some more land or something that makes a buck. Same start the settlers got 150 yrs later.

It was rejected by the bands. Our natives have their own political problems and corruption to clean up before they can become true partners in this land.

So I guess its ghettos forever like PET said.
