@Coochie coo Agreed.
Closure is not compatible with social justice victimhood.
@Coochie coo There is a limit to what Canadians will take responsibility for, and that's fine
We can generate genuine, permanent closure to this problem, in my view.
yes
I demand reparations, the two camp doctrine ruined lives!
nevaaah
Hey, man, do what you need to do to clear your conscience. Just know that the victims will never be satisfied.
Last residential school closed in 1990
It is very different from indignities between warring sovereigns
I can create closure in a second:
"You live in a nation with one of the highest living standards and have one of the most costly social systems in the world at your disposal.
You are welcome. Now buzz off."
@Undead Mockingbird that system was explicitly not at their disposal
(in Canada)
I detect a past tense.
>it doesn't matter if I abused you as a child, that was in the past
there were all sorts of nitpicks in legislation to trick people into accidentally becoming disenfranchised by interacting with broader Canadian society.
>be happy you aren't abused now
Seriously, read the Indian Act, it is bizarre.
Like I'm American living in Canada, why the hell should I take responsibilities for some English settlers from centuries ago... I"m somewhat pre-distracted I'm at work :X so sorry for the confusion I think we agree here @xorgy
If they have a legal claim, sure. But I am tired of bowing to claims based on social justice or reparative theory.
@Coochie coo because they are the debts of the state
@Coochie coo same reason you pay into social insurance here
>English settlers from centuries ago
Residential schools were within the last 50 years m8
You may not like it, but you inherit the state and its liabilities
if you inhabit the country
Policy continued to be fucked into the 90s
