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.

Part of the TRC recommendations were for the Government to work with the church...Trudeau calling for the Church to apologize is exactly what is was asked of them to do, so I don't know how you can turn that into a negative. But the government could do more. They could threaten to remove the Church's tax free status. I'm sure that would provoke action very quickly. Que popcorn gif. It'd never happen, but damn, that would be a good move.
