If this helps close the book on the Residential school issue then I'm for it, if this opens the way for more litigation and leverage, then I have problems with it. This apology is more symbolic then anything else as the compensation issue has been agreed upon.

I guess my problem with the Liberal critism is the same problem that I have with the way our government works. We don't have an effective system of opposition because common sense gives way to election retoric.

IE

Liberals in power - We will go to Afghanistan and help those people in the face of the Taliban and its evil influence on that poor country.

Liberals in opposition - We need to get out of there, theres no point in being there, we should focus more on civil projects and be like roving councellers.

Liberal's in power - We support Kyoto, but do nothing about it, leaving that mess for the next government
Liberal's in opposition - We need to meet our Kyoto the conservatives hate the environment and won't do anything for it.

Liberal's in power - If we ignore the residential school issue it will go away
Liberal's in opposition - You s don't mean it, you didn't invite any natives to witness it, you hate natives.

etc

If your opposition be the opposition, quit grandstanding and flip flopping (By the way, the conservatives did it too.)
