Canada will pay hundreds of Indigenous communities more than US$2 billion in compensation for nearly a century of abuse suffered by children in residential schools, its government has announced.

The C$2.8 billion (US$2.1 billion) settlement, the result of a class action lawsuit by 325 Indigenous groups, will be placed in a not-for-profit trust independent of the government.

It will be used to "revitalise Indigenous education, culture, and language - to support survivors in healing and reconnecting with their heritage", according to a press release.

IMO reparations both here and in CanaDah are a deep state money laundering scheme to finance election fraud with other people’s (our) money.

If we were smart we’d invest in opioid distribution in Newfoundland to take in all the government money.

The money is not intended for ‘indigenous peoples’. It’s a shell game. Just like the California scheme.

“It will be used to “revitalise Indigenous education, culture, and language - to support survivors in healing and reconnecting with their heritage”, according to a press release.”

Smells a lot like all the poverty pimping NGOs, community organizers, and DEI pushers (as well as drug pushers) are going to be in hog heaven.

Attending school is no longer the law?

The money is to make Canadians not be Canadians?
“”It will be used to “revitalise Indigenous education, culture, and language - to support survivors in healing and reconnecting with their heritage””

If it makes sense then why not teach all Canadians to get back to their roots, to resurrect their ancestor’s identity of being whatever they were at one time?

Peanuts. We’re giving Ukraine 200 Billion to abuse themselves and Russians.

If only our forefathers were so smart.
