The Truth and Reconciliation Commission represented a national reckoning when it issued its final report nine years ago. It examined the decades-long systematic attempt to destroy Indigenous cultures and force assimilation by removing children from their homes and into residential schools across what is now known as Canada.
That work culminated in a reconciliation road map with 94 calls to action – of which only 13 have been completed, according to an Indigenous-led research organization.
The Yellowhead Institute says zero new calls to action were implemented last year, and that overall progress is so slow it’s no longer worth tracking.
Melissa Ridgen spoke to stakeholders about what has stalled on the reconciliation journey.

Omg, who tf cares?
Meanwhile Justin Trudeau’s Daddy was part of eliminating the indigenous of Canada ??. Yet he walks away Scott free. Then has the nerve to blame everyone else. Go look how the indigenous are living up north. It’s absolutely despicable,deplorable,disgusting and pathetic. If anything the indigenous should be taken care of first & foremost before anyone else walks through Canadas open borders.
The so-called indigenous people are looking for more money. Just give money and they will be quiet for a while. But this is getting old.
Hilarious!
Im white,i owe you nothing,zero,zilch….i have no guilt. Truth…3 claimed sites dug up…..nothing found….just rocks and dirt…… reconcile that lie.
I smell $$$ going in one direction again. What a farce
Conclusion, more taxes ?
That's what you get for voting, aligning, & trusting Trudeau
My understanding is this was what was done through history between nations around the world between conquerors..new political parties uprisings, revolts..etc. much has changed in the past 100 years for certian, but can name a few nations currently doing simular actions resembling what went on in residential schools for various reason and ideals. There obviously has been progress..a certian premier being indeginious, other members of parliment..Native owned buisnesses, etc.
Lots going on inbetween of course.. devil in the details as usual..good and bad situations on all sides of politics.. most just want peace and a stable life, but here we are..
Healing does certianly take a long time..forgiveness, etc. Where to go from here, well.. "don't know." Sooner preferably than later, matter has to come to full resolve. How? Well..everything starts with diolouge..finding them common grounds..differances..etc. hard to accomplish when there is indefferance and those instigating conflict..ignorance within all parties and such.
All I know is "reconciliation" whatever it is has to happen.
I believe 98% of Canadians don’t think we have anything left to reconcile, the imports aka engineers don’t give two ? ? about it either..
That's the West culture
Garbage
Perhaps you should sort out and fix your own situation before complaining that other people aren't doing enough for you. Stand on your own two feet for once
Truth and Reconciliation is a joke in Canada. My government would like to see me dead
bang drum. get another few trillion to waste on alcohol and big trucks
In early 2022 there was talk of $40 Billion gift. Did they not get it yet because the country is broke or did they get it and spent it already?
Mad because you get free education cry me a River. While my country is getting bombed instead of free money to indigenous give missiles like you promised to Ukraine
What a joke …the less you do the bigger handout you get .

Trudeau showed us what to do and that is to go on vacation.
On Father's day…. SMD.
We won. You lost. Get over it.
Let’s lock arms as Canadians and say no money goes nowhere??
The truth and reconciliation report in my opinion was extremely contradicting against the Catholic Church and the Canadian Government. The recommendations contradicted a number the claims that were made. The solutions recommended by the report supported what the government had already done. There were some minor adjustments recommended but those same policy changes are still difficult to this day to implement.
I grew up in Kamloops I went to school with a number of kids from the residential school. I can say comfortably that there are a number of indicators that would or could dispute some of the claims made by native residential students.
Residential school Book keeping records and government financial records could easily dispute many claims made. Even the video just shown above can dispute some of the claims made.
LOL let them work for their money like everyone else. Wear a stupid hat, cry, and get free millions!
