Reconciliation with the natives was a huge factor in the debates for the canadian election. >Reconciliation: >the restoration of friendly relations. >"his reconciliation with your uncle" Clearly implying that we are not on friendly relations right now. Mind you, 75% of natives have abandoned the reserves and joined Canadian society. Our multiculturalism and diversity accepts them. But why did the government censor the opposing debate? If you watched that debate, they never actually debated. They all agreed with each other. This is because we aren't on good terms with the natives and allowing debate on the subject would inflame the problem. We have to say we are going to get friendly, even though we never do. >The great aim of our legislation has been to do away with the tribal system and assimilate the Indian people in all respects with the other inhabitants of the Dominion as speedily as they are fit to change. >John A Macdonald, 1887 He was a conservative prime minister who created legislation intent on destroying the natives. Worse yet, Pierre Trudeau, our current prime minister's father, in addition to a future prime minister. Liberal Jean Chretien wrote the 1969 white papers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_White_Paper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_White_Paper They never did it. What an absolute shame. We almost fixed the disaster that it has become today. Our current government will look like they are doing something to fix the problem. But in reality will not actually do anything.
