Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. Which is odd, since Canada’s leaders avoid the truth as if it were a rotten hunk of back bacon. If Canada was serious about anything but faux “crises,” it would reconcile with the truth. Canada’s National Day of Truth and Reconciliation was instituted as a remembrance of the loss of culture, freedom, and self-esteem that many Indigenous children experienced at the hands of the residential schools.
