It seems First Nations people are really peeved about this Bill C45. Why is the rest of Canada so apathetic?

The Harper Government wants the issue to be as hazy as possible, letting them get away with whatever they want.

The Canadian Government has for generations relied on misinformation to deal with Aboriginal issues outside of the public eye. Do you really think that your average Canadian would have been on board with what was going on at residential schools if they really knew at the time? They would all have to be sociopaths or psychopaths (I get the two confused, but basically monsters) to be behind that.

To most Canadians, they see First Nations or other Aboriginal protesters & they think something to the effect of, "Oh now what," or "Who really cares."

It's not an uncommon human reality....I mean really, when peeps see on TV what's going on way over there somewhere on the other side of the globe....it doesn't touch them....if Canadians think these issues don't impact them directly....

I'm hoping flash mobs & social media will help bring a deeper level of communication....this really isn't a Native issue, but a Canadian one....
