In Conversation

Kevin Annett, Carrie Lester, Gary Wasaykeesic give the context for the work of the Friend and Relatives of the Disappeared.

They talk about the residential school system imposed on the Native population of Canada, explain why the formal apology issued by the government is inadequate and outline what really needs to be done so meaningful healing can take place effectively.

Wow I had a theory about CAS and hearing it now makes more sense. My mom is aboriginal and I went through cas and group homes, etc. It hasn't been fun at all.

Europe America Canada... The veil is now lifted and we see the Pope even with his pants down.

The nail is in place, the hammeris lifted... the grave already dug.

"the greatest weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the minds of the oppressed" you sir have nailed it to the mast and that is a banner that I will walk under some day. There is unbelievable contempt shown by the Lleaders of my country towards the victims of Industrial schools and the Catholic church in Rome, if you will pardon my English: don't give a fuck; so I propose that a constant unilateral pressure on authorities everywhere these crimes have been committed, be set in motion.
