actually, an apology is not necessary.  For all of those groups who may were treated poorly, the fact that our country now has made changes, and our population has as well adapted their thinking to accepting different people, lifestyles, and whatever else is proof that Canada works.  Why apologize for something some person from the 20's may have done. A person must walk in their shoes first, see how they were raised, understand the social situation at that time, only to see that while it appears ridiculous and completely offside today, at that time it was not.  The fact that we have adapted should be enough, but of course, it isn't. It isn't because there is an industry that perpetuates the victim mentality, for money.  All the while the "victims" of today believe they are being helped, when they are being played. Played for money, or for votes, or both.
