A lot of Aboriginal people back in the 1950's to 1980's were forced to go to Residential School. This place of worship was supposed to take the 'native' out of the aboriginals. The Residential School Survivors were beaten & raped. If you are of Aboriginal descent, or you know someone of Aboriginal descent, did you know people like parents, aunts, uncles, or grandparents that went to Residential School in Canada?

Do you think it is enough for the House of Commons to publicly apologize for the Aboriginals of what they had to go through, then get a Common Experience Payment?
