text: Great article.
  
  I'm opposed to purging Canadian history (as all non-Native Canadians should be). The author supports it (as all First Nations should). This is the point we should be starting the Truth and Reconciliation debate from. HONESTY. What's good for the FN is often bad for Canada and what's good for Canada is almost always bad for the FN. We are a nation built on their suffering. 
  
  The views about slippery slopes and respecting our history are the common sense Canadian views.
  
  The views expressed in this article are the common sense indigenous views.
  
  The common sense indigenous viewpoint and the common sense Canadian viewpoint need to talk rationally, without fake-left self congratulatory politicians making promises they know they won't keep and the media constantly pushing stories on statues and parking lot Islamophobia, instead of Thunder Bay, land rights and suicide epidemics.
  
  We need to start discussing reconciliation in an honest way not built on white guilt lies.
