"As Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould (who is aboriginal) said this week, it’s “hard to celebrate 150 years of colonialism.”

If Mrs. Wilson-Raybould feels that way then perhaps she should refrain from opining & engaging with celebrating Canadians who take insult at her assumption that Canada is a Nation wide-open to deprecating digs by those who have 'one' parent who is a First Nations descendent & husband who works with FN.

Mrs. Wilson-Raybould does realize she was born in the Dominion of Canada also her hubby, who has been directly involved in a number of Indigenous-led sectoral & comprehensive governance initiatives$$

What is interesting here is the difference between Pierre Trudeau's 100yr celebration of Canada's beginnings & the 'cheap shots' coming from Wilson-Raybould of his son, Justin's cabinet during this 150yr celebration of Canada.

By the way, WHY didn't Justin's father, Pierre Trudeau, step into the residential schools issue back in 1968? -- They existed then.
