I am as well. Further, many of the people who perpetuated these crimes are still alive. Residential schools were still around in the 90s. Where are the arrests and charges? Where are the actual criminal investigations? Thoughts and prayers pretty much are meaningless and commission reports are meaningless without action.

I saw a tweet the other day from someone in her 40’s who said her children were the first generation in the family not to have been sent to a residential school. Pretty sobering.

John Furlong -- the man who headed the Vancouver 2010 olympic committee and was awarded the Order of Canada -- was credibly implicated in residential school abuses. The idea that this is ancient history is completely wrong
