From a CBC report, October 30th "Indigenous leaders praise report on Canada's 'disappeared' residential school children"

Justice Minister Arif Virani received the report in person but said he wouldn't make any promises until he had thoroughly reviewed it, though he did offer his personal response as a parent.

"You can't hear stories about children," Virani told reporters, his voice seeming to catch with emotion, "about people being abused, young girls being impregnated and then their babies being taken away and incinerated, and not have a response."

My personal thought is that all these stories, many of which describe heinous crimes, must be investigated impartially and forensically. For example, some of these young girls must be alive today to tell about their experiences. They must have names. Someone must know of a particular person who had the experience of being impregnated by a Priest and having her baby taken away. I really wonder why this hasn't happened yet. Nina Green has investigated the truth behind the movie "Sugar Cane" for example, which could be used as evidence of what exactly happened.

I was told yesterday that the 2nd check for over $100,000 was just handed out to every injun in Canada I think it was for $175,000 you can bet yer behind that will go up their nose or on booze & fancy new pickup trucks. I live near a reserve and can tell you every native I see at Walmart & the Dollar store in Port Elgin are driving brand new vehicles. Nice eh? courtesy of the tax payer, we all know who the taxpayers are dont we, those are the middle class people who work for a living but cant afford a home and rely on the foodbank.
