--and while we're listening to each other and trying to find common ground, it would be helpful if we stopped "picking scabs off wounds"....native and non-native both.  We've all been wounded by injustice.  We've spent so much time acknowledging the wrongs of the past and so many non-native Canadians feel taken advantage of.  Everyone has a valid point but we must find a new path and get unstuck from this dark and negative approach.  It will take us nowhere....in the meantime our children are suffering.  That's the very important issue.
