I don't have the answer but you can't turn a society upsidedown and they blames them for all the problems that were caused when you turned them upside down.
Yes, I would concur with the above. But the shoe is on the other foot as well. My wife works with aboriginal children and the sentiment towards Canada from them is unilaterally and overwhelmingly antagonistic, dismissive and derogatory. It's always "us" vs. "them". What's more, these teenagers seem to be enjoying the irony of Canada's aboriginal guilt feeling.

P.S. They do like Flames though.
