.....Indian Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett wasn't the PM. So how she thinks she can tell a head of state what to do is beyond me?! The other day, she -- and about a 100 other people -- was telling the Pope he had to apologize to natives for residential schools. The Pope is the head of the ecclesiastical Diocese of Rome, or the Holy See, and governs Catholics worldwide.
He does not answer to Carolyn Bennett -- she of the ultra-Anglican Havergal College. The problem with apologies is that they are always followed by demands for $$$$$ and the Pope knows this. What I want to know is, why don't Canadian bishops apologize; afterall, they were the ones turning a blind eye? There were also Anglican, Baptist and United Church residential schools, but people have conveniently forgotten their misdeeds.
My granddaughter has a foolproof way of determining what is real and what is nonsense. She asks, "For real life, grandma?" Yes my dear, this is for "real life".
