You might wonder why the internet sux on campus, I'd barely have time to manage my time because all I do is try to figure out this pile of crap they call STU wireless. Like to see your work in the paper, if it has been, I must not see it, ie. I am blind. Oh and why are your articles online and NOT in the paper?

What they did was change a few key words to their definition of genocide, it in fact to this day does not go hand in hand with the UN's definition. This was done to protect themselves because it was an act of Genocide. A number of articles were omitted. So, it was an apology but as Roland Chrisjohn said about that very thing, if you apologize you say you're sorry, and that you'll never do it again. Canada's apology wasn't one that was meaningful. And didn't Harper say at a G8 meeting that there is no Colonialism in Canada's History? Baahaha, what a dumb ass politician.

Everyone is taught from a very young age that an apology is not an apology unless you specify exactly what you are sorry for. I heard no apology that day. I didn't really expect one to be honest.

I would only correct you to say that the residential schools were a direct result and implement of Britain and Canada's mostly successful genocide programs over the last few hundred years. The numbers of murdered natives and amount of stolen land is truly mind boggling - and for some kleptocratic spokesman to get on TV and say he's sorry, while first nations remain impoverished and targeted for subjugation via many avenues (legal system, policing, drug policy, medical policy, education) is unconscionable. While we'd like to all get along and have everyone prosper - the reality is that the true crimes (against humanity) and suffering continue to a great extent, even if we no longer have overt rape and murder schools run under the auspices of self-proclaimed good and godly nation. Just look at Canada's votes against the UN declaration on aboriginal rights and you'll see that the same system that would callously steal and murder aboriginal babies is unlikely to ever become anything but a menace against the rightful owners it it's occupied lands.
