Settlement for residential school survivors sought from federal government

[gerryh]

LOL! Thank you for explaining to me what I said. ROTFL!
When I mean "no", I will SAY "no"!
Idiot!

No, the idiot would be you. Especially when you can't even acknowledge your own ignorance.


The residential schools were set up by the government. They were overseen by the government. The Government tried to use them to "assimilate" First Nations to get rid of their "injun" problem. So, yes, the government is partly responsible for what happened in those schools. Therefore, we the people/taxpayers are also responsible for what happened in those schools.

It is common judicial practice to compensate a person, or people, monetarily for wrongs perpetrated on another's person. So, even though money may not right as wrong, or repair the damage, our society and courts have decided that bit is the closest thing we have to make that repair or right that wrong.

here's a link to get you started on your "education", that is if you are interested.

Yes the government set up the residential schools at the request of the native chiefs to allow the Indian to adapt to modern life .
Just out of curiousness how many native children would have died living a hunter gatherer existence if they did not attend residential school , and would you have been responsible ?

I'd love to see actual proof that chiefs asked government to do something and government did it.

My daddy tol' me not to step in that....

The FN see this as a gift that keeps on giving so it'll never be settled no matter how much money is given to them. Open the books.

Of course, we would ALL be responsible. Don't you know? If we don't admit it is OUR fault, we are idiots! Uneducated idiots!!
And all of our babies not born yet will be responsible too and will have to help pay the billions of dollars compensation!

Hey Stupid. Are you saying that the Canadian citizens are NOT responsible for their government's actions?

How much are you willing to pitch in for your share of the responsibility ?

I pay my taxes. What about you?

I don't feel I'm responsible for anything my government decided to do before I started voting.

That doesn't surprise me at all. Most free loaders feel that way.

Well if you feel that way I suggest you go ahead and give all your money to the victims.
Nothing has stopped you all these's years. Why haven't you already given the natives everything you have stolen from them?

Actually, it would be the other way around. My Grandmother lost her status because she was with a white man. So, they owe my family, for that side. Let me know how you're gonna work that out. My taxes take care of what is owed from my fathers side.

I'm glad that Canada died along with the Empire.

Well, the descendants have been effected by what the residential schools did. That being said, when do you think the last student left the residential schools?



The above, however, was not what I was addressing in my reply. It was in reply to your question/statement

[personal touch]

o.k,this is an easier question,
what century?lo!

Like yourself?

For you, I doubt it is any easier a question. Since you decided to throw in your two cents, why don't you answer the question.
