I don't see anything being done to right the wrongs of our past. Quite frankly, I don't think anything can be done.

All that is happening is a few empty gestures. Renaming schools, flying flags at half mast, ringing church bells, Facebook posts, etc. All in an effort to make us non-indigenous Canadians feel better and to restore our self righteous place in the world.

There will be calls to "learn from our past, so we don't allow it to happen in the future." Yet we sit idly by allowing similar atrocities to happen in our own back yard and around the world. It's garbage. Our society is garbage.
