Chuck keeps telling us that the problems facing Aboriginal youth's is their home life. Yet every time I press him on that, and what the solution is, he stops short of suggesting something resembling residential schools. That literally was the the intention behind the program. Even if the application didn't always work out as intended.

In our town a few families raised aboriginal children. One child, in particular did very well, was best friends with my sister, became a journalist and read the news on TV station. She was popular and was no different than others her age but a couple of years ago wrote an article complaining about how she was mistreated by school kids and how horrible her upbringing was. Hmmm, pretty hard to figure it out. Guess our perception was distorted.

Yup some first nations kids came out of residential schools and didn't experience the abuse and thrived.

But many did not. The abuses and harms are detailed in the Truth and Reconciliation reports and recommendations.

Steven Harper as Prime Minister apologized for what happened in residential schools for a reason.

So the fact that some kids had a relatively good experience doesn't excuse the much greater harm done to those who were abused or died from various causes.

But some Conservatives don't want to admit that residential schools were overall a horrible chapter in Canada and want to candy coat and deny the harm done. Its called residential school denialism. Similar to to holocaust denialisim in some respects.

The underlying thinking is that first nations are responsible for all of their own problems and we had nothing to do with their problems. Blame the victims more or less.

Its time for some people top acknowledge and accept the harm done by our governments and churches and work with first nations to make their lives better instead of blaming them for a system and an experience they did not create.

what do you mean by WE ? what did you CC do yourself to harm the kids seeing you include yourself in the WE group ? everybody is responsible for their own crimes not somebody that may not even be born when crimes were comited

Lets start with you - you hypocritical POS... you cant even come out the closet so why would you accept the harm that you were a part of on Canadian farmers...

" many customers were not willing to pay premiums as the market for high quality spring wheat and durum is limited. As a result, in order to clear the market, a significant volume of grain would be traded at values at a discount to U.S. values as that is what it took to sell the grain that was offered for
sale by farmers to the CWB at the time."

Mr. Weisensel was the Chief Operating Officer of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) beginning
in 2004 until G3 Canada Ltd. purchased a majority interest in the CWB in July of 2015.

Been thinking a bit on this today , and my opinion is that if CC was around way back when the first nation kids were being put in residental schools he would be supporting it 100% , government always knows best , likely would be attacking anybody that spoke out against it

Now that the month of degeneracy has ended, here is a real wake up call.

[furrowtickler]

Could not agree more …

[cropgrower]

its all part of their plan to devide people as much as possible

The we refers to the fact that Indian act still exists, along with the reserves, the systemic racism, discrimination and the legacy of colonization and all the other terrible things that happened to first nations including residential schools.

So untill we fix the many of the of the problems we created and the legacy of harm, the word we is totally appropriate.

Oh shoot Pierre has gone woke! At the Calgary Stampede! The Greatest Outdoor Cowboy show on the planet no less.

This should get the bigots and LGBQT haters all riled up.

Who are they going to vote for now considering that Crypto and Melisssa Lantsman aren't going to turn on the LGBQT community like many of the so con sheep were hoping.

I see Weber is back with his uncontrollable anger, foul language and bluster making stupid accusations and analogies! LOL

No it is NOT , 99% of the ordinary people that were working to keep the bills paid had notting whatsoever to do with what was done , is somebody living in germany now responsible for what their government done back in the 40s ?

[chuckChuck]

You are wrong.

Some of the abusers are still alive. The last residential school closed in the 1990s.

"Investigators hired by the federal government have located thousands of people accused of physically and sexually abusing students at Canada's Indian residential schools — though they may never face criminal charges.

As part of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement agreement, the government located 5,315 alleged abusers, both former employees and students."

Many of the problems and legacy of harm still exists.

The living standards of first nations on reserves are still much lower than the majority of non indigenous Canadians.

Are you saying current voters and governments have no ongoing responsibility to the Indian Act and the lives of first nations?
