HAMILTON, Ontario, Dec. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indigenous Watchdog tracks and reports on how reconciliation is progressing in Canada.
Key Points:
- HAMILTON, Ontario, Dec. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indigenous Watchdog tracks and reports on how reconciliation is progressing in Canada.
- To add even further insult, the conclusion of the Speech from the Throne repeats all the above priorities except, you guessed it - Advancing Reconciliation - which again is completely ignored and literally and physically erased from the document.
- In the last Speech from the Throne the government committed to "significant efforts towards reconciliation" while the current government committed to "Advancing Reconciliation".
- In the preamble to the speech, immediately after the Land Acknowledgement, the Speech states that "The crown underpins our constitutional relationships with the federal and provincial governments and Indigenous communities."
