Besides the revisionist history, the disappointment is he thinks residential schools are a partisan game he can play to score points with.....he just doesn't get it, and it makes me wonder how racist and clueless his party is or is allowed to be. #cdnpoli https://pressprogress.ca/erin-otoole-claimed-residential-school-architects-only-meant-to-provide-education-to-indigenous-children/
At this point in our history, it's not about party....this isn't a trade deal gone bad. It's decades and decades of government wrong-doing that extended generations. That he thinks it's a game is a problem
And let me be super clear.....the NDP the Bloc, and etc? they aren't off the hook either. This is a shame the whole of government inherits, they were and all part of the problem and they are all responsible for the solution.
And just for context....thanks @HarrysNotes for the reference. His claim about Trudeau Senior is factually incorrect as well. Revisionist history is just another word for lie. http://www.trc.ca/assets/pdf/Volume_1_History_Part_2_English_Web.pdf
And just as a reminder.....Senator Lynn Beyak was kicked out of Conservative caucus for suggesting similar (but worse), what are the rules for the leader of the party? https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/lynn-beyak-kicked-out-conservative-caucus-1.4474130
And just in case it needs to be said? No, the residential schools weren't just a bad idea created with good intentions. They were never well intended by standards of today or of a 100 years ago.....never. There's a reason we had a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
