Whatever, ok so your family didn't use those programs... ever been to the hospital? Just pick one of the hundreds of other benefits you and your family gain just by living here... use your imagination. I never once said "abused" either... Those programs are there to help and if they help an imigrating family becoming contributing members of this society - woot! I'm all for it but thanks for being ignorant and assuming that I had something against people using programs put in place to help them... I actually believe thats what they are there for. I was attempting to illustrate that ALL Canadians benifit just by living here and that often those benifits start immidiately.

Ya thanks, again I wasn't cutting down all immigrants... I know we are all from somewhere else originally. I was just cutting down you and your attitude about abstaining from an appology that Canada owed aboriginals for its actions as a nation in the past.

If you feel that it is necessary to get all bent out of shape because I don't think it was worded correctly that is your perogitive but your internet toughness doesn't impress me. I don't really understand what you are trying to get at here. All I really see is a 2 paragraph insult and if it makes you feel better then more power to you.

You didn't have to say that your ashamed or not proud to be Canadian... and I didn't say that you were, I said you were an embarrasment becuase you said:

I heard that this was an apology on behalf of all Canadians. I have nothing to apologize for.

Try and rewrite it anyway you want now. Your post was made before the apology even took place at 1pm and you said NOTHING in your original post about the wording of an appology... maybe you said it later after you did a double take on your first insensitive and idiotic post, but I was responding to those statements not about how you've diluted your original statement in a political discussion about how the liberals and Conservatives should behave.
