Maybe us "white Christian colonizers" should have welcomed the United States to become the proud owners of Canada when they tried to invade and take over in 1812!! Maybe if we hadn't landed on the shores of Canada, Russian czars would have invaded from the North and the official language here would now be Russian and we could be wallowing in the glory of being part of the former Soviet union and all of it's glorious past and wonderful present day quagmires!! As the old saying goes "Be careful what you wish for"!!
Many aspects of Aboriginal life in this country have been improved upon due to the pragmatism of Donald Marshall and the wonderful people who believed in him and represented him during his wrongful conviction for murder. The inquiry that followed that terrible injustice changed everything for Aboriginal people in Canada. We still have a long way to go but the positive changes are occurring. Sorry this young lady does not see the whole picture!!
