I think that this post is kinda brilliant by the way, but I have to disagree on one thing.
We need to define atonement, and its more then just the church atoning for this. This also comes down to policies set by the government and handed to the Church to execute. So Trudeau sitting there and saying "Well the church needs to apologize" is just a smoke screen. The government needs to do not only the reconciliation things, but actually make proper and trackible policies and efforts. The time for virtual signalling speaking points, and phony sentimental speeches has to be over. Or things are going to outright spiral.
