SUMMARY:Off the Hill – Truth & Reconciliation, like thoughts and prayers, are empty without meaningful, concrete and ongoing actions
DESCRIPTION:rabble.ca’s national live-politics panel, Off The Hill, returns on Thursday, June 17th with a focus on reconciliation and Land Back with host Libby Davies and guests Leah Gazan, MP for Winnipeg Centre, Karl Nerenberg, rabble.ca politics reporter, and Cindy Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society.\nRegister now to join this free event via Zoom and to interact and share your comments and questions with the panelists.\nThe disturbing discovery earlier this month of the remains of 215 children at the Kamloops Indian Residential School was described as “an unthinkable loss that was spoken about but never documented by the Kamloops Indian Residential School,” by Chief Rosanne Casimir of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Nation.

There is a reckoning to be had as the magnitude of the horrendous history of Canada’s violent colonial settler past is exposed.\nIt’s fair to say that everyone wants answers. Indigenous peoples have been very clear that thoughts, emotions, prayers and expressions of sympathy from government leaders is disingenuous if not based on a record of concrete action for reconciliation — and a recognition of the calls for Land Back. Every settler has this responsibility.\nThe Truth and Reconciliation Commission, led by Justice Murray Sinclair, tabled its historic report and 94 calls to action in December 2015. The calls to action have not been implemented. Six of those recommendations specifically addressed missing children and burial grounds.\nIt is hard not to be cynical when the Trudeau government expresses sympathy for the children and their families while continuing to appeal the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal decision ord\n
