In recent years, Canadian governments have been trying to whitewash
history with ongoing apologies. While it is believed some of those past government
decisions may have been taken for the right reasons at the time, some are now
deemed as having been wrong. Whether we are removing from public view anything
connected to some less than acceptable decision taken decades earlier or providing
tearful apologies and financial settlements for other claimed wrongs, the process
has the potential to be never-ending. There are probably not too many people
that cannot find something in their past that they may now find troubling by
today’s standards. Will we still be apologizing 40-50 years from now for some actions
and decisions taken today?
