Justin Trudeau has urged Pope Francis to visit Canada to apologise to indigenous peoples for the Catholic church’s treatment of aboriginal children in schools it ran there.
Starting in the late 19th century, about 30% of children of Canada’s native peoples, or about 150,000 children, were placed in what were known as “residential schools” in a government attempt to strip them of their traditional cultures and ancestral languages.
For over a century the schools were government-funded but many were administered by Christian churches, mostly Roman Catholic.
“I told him how important it is for Canadians to move forward on real reconciliation with the indigenous peoples and I highlighted how he could help by issuing an apology,” Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, told reporters after meeting the pope.
He said he had invited the pontiff to make the apology in Canada.
Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission said in a 2015 report that the practice, which kept children from the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples far from their parents, amounted to “cultural genocide”.

Trudeau should apologize for being a Cuck.

The dickhead spoke on behalf of all Canadians that they were mourning Fidel Castro. How about you apologize for that comment first, dick.

I think about this whenever a Canadian is being smug which is 95% of the time.

Apologize for something that happened in the 1800's?
Will the Canadians apologize for kicking my ancestors out of Nova Scotia?

I think the USA and Canada should restore lands to indigenous people. Start in the USA with all BLM properties.
The pope should just say "I'm sorry" and walk away.

Trudeau is a tool but I can't defend the Pope or the RC church

People should just stop using cuck because it's lame and over-used as is.

And what might those be?

Interesting that is the same look on Pope Francis' face as when he was pictured with Trump but the lying media acted like there was something about the Pope not liking Trump behind it.

quote:These schools were basically a human rights atrocity that went on for a century. I believe the last ones weren't closed until the 1990's. Nothing wrong with taking the church to task for this calamity. Now, it rings hollow to me given pretty boy's fawning over Castro when he died.

Pope's like, "Yellow hair might be crazy, but this punk is a straight-up pussy."
