'Top-level' panel to pick new truth commission head: lawyer

In response to CBC story December 15th, 2008 0n their website!
Good Day: Wound A Knee on the national stage, as you Canadian pundits banter out your informed/un-informed rants and raves! I certainly hope we as a global family can move forward each new day with honesty, humility, and respect. Now if only our government’s leaders can begin each day like that, then maybe we can heal the present, so we can prepare for the future. The Past is what it is, and apologies and compensation means nothing if the ignorant and the racist ignore the truth, honesty, and humility of themselves, and what was taught to them and their ancestors to make them think what they live, say and speak contains some sense of irrational truth.
As a first nations man, abused sexual and physically as a child under foster care, I am disappointed that the Alberta government is appealing the class action lawsuit launched against Alberta for Native and Métis Children abused as Wards of The Crown! Yet, I must believe that attitudes will change and the governments and churches, and Canadians responsible for the abuse against Canada’s First People's children will accept and acknowledge their complicity and involvement , and help healing the inter-generational problems that exist due to colonialism, and feuding of governing legislative ruling parties. I may not agree with how this appointment will happen, or that these two women from the original IRSS agreement are still on the board, but hopefully these women can begin each day with honest, humility, and respect, and not allow their ego get in the way of the common good. that goes for me too

the first ministers will... [had ]been a major cause of ongoing native poverty.

"the first ministers will ultimately end the turf war between federal and provincial governments that has been a major cause of ongoing native poverty."

Tell us something we don't know!
