I think you may have missed the reporting and coverage at the time but Canada was the defendant in a very large class action lawsuit along with all the churches that were involved.  The evidence was so overwhelming that Canada was responsible for the Indian Residential Schools, for their creation and for the oversight, that they agreed to a settlement to avoid going to trial.  So, you see, Canada is being punished.

It is so important to know the subject material before commenting so as not to be embarrassed.
