'Our collective shame': Trudeau delivers historic apology to LGBT Canadians

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a historic apology to LGBT Canadians in the House of Commons today, saying sorry for decades of "state-sponsored, systematic oppression and rejection."

Speaking to a packed and emotional chamber, Trudeau expressed shame, sorrow and deep regret to the civil servants, military members and criminalized Canadians who endured discrimination and injustice based on their sexual orientation.

"You are professionals. You are patriots. And above all, you are innocent. And for all your suffering, you deserve justice, and you deserve peace," he said.

"It is our collective shame that you were so mistreated. And it is our collective shame that this apology took so long – many who suffered are no longer alive to hear these words. And for that, we are truly sorry."

MPs rose together in applause to the apology, which at times brought Trudeau to tears.

Yeah. Sht happens. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. To be honest, I'm tired of this constant apologizing for stuff that happened in the past.


Where is the official apology for imposing the War Measures Act in 1970, all because BooBoo Bourassa was scared of some homegrown nutjobs, and wanted political power?


Yeah, where's THAT apology?

Better than apologizing for stuff that'll happen in the future. That would be a little premeditated unless you already know the pane's gonna crash.

I was punched in the mouth by my grade 5 teacher.
Where's my cash and apology, Justin?
Why weren't you there to protect me?
Scratch that, why wasn't Canada there for me (sob) I want 50 million bucks.

I'm not part of the collective. Justine is a shameful representative of Canada.

Bullshit.................Subsidized by the state!= communist
to the tune of 675 millions in 2016 while eliminating tax credits to other companies

OK for the CBC in your opinion..
All the while planning to slash 1500 jobs by 2020

But any other company that you don't approve off, getting a tax credit or any kind of tax break for creating employment is not acceptable!

You know what that makes you?'.......A communist and a frigging damned Hypocrite!

Collective shame? Trudeau can go f*ck himself. I've never had a problem with gay or trans people.

They make a profit.

Is that before or after the $150 million in tax dollar funding?
Even better than capitalism.

Right, so you like communism. We get it, comrade.

Christ, I bet even you could pull a profit if someone simply handed you $150 million a year.

The CBC exists solely because of the forced largesse of the Canadian taxpayer. How is that capitalism in any way? How is it even better for that matter?
