Most children didn't even speak english when they arrived at the residential school! The people who were forced into Residential Schools deserve compensation from the government because it was a government program. Next you will probably tell us that people interned in camps by the Canadian government during World War II are "feeding at the trough, demanding unearned respect and wanting you to baby them."

You know what--I really don't give a crap what happened generations and generations ago. I don't give hoot what happened to the Japanese Canadians or whatever. You want an apology then go get it from those who actually did it. NOT just the usual looking for a handout which is ALL it amounts to. You deserve compensation my ass. Neverending begging for money sucks and TOTALLY removes any high ground you might have.
A act of contrition from those who did the deed--Fine and they should and if they are still alive then go after them for compensation. Anything else is just a sick money grab by a bunch of leeches who deserve no respect and have certainly no respect for themselves with their hands held out and the usual garbage pouring from their mouths "Gimme money, Gimee money, Gimmee money. All about money and nothing else--Same old story!!!!!
