The experience of WW2 reaches far beyond the FN saga. It teaches that history cannot be reversed nor made good by expecting compensation. Only initiative and self reliance will ensure a positive future. Any of my cohort who belabored past injustices and terror never "made it" - those who welcomed a new beginning are who helped make Canada the great country it is.

Welcome to history - and work out a better future without looking back in the rear view mirror !

And by the way - I am quite familiar with the post Columbian experience of the North American populations. It was ugly - a conquest, a hunt for gold, settlement.....
