this was hard to listen to, but I am appreciative that so many were willing to open up and try to figure out how we got here as a country and if its possible to move forward together. only together will our country truly be whole and prosperous if each person has the same rights and human dignity as another. truth and reconciliation truly includes those words. i wish more Canadians could take a minute, as a family member noted, to go out of their comfort zone - attend a gathering, read as groups First Nations literature (fiction and non fiction) and generally try to be more receptive to others experience and knowledge.
