According to the Globe and Mail, the federal government is going to create a statutary holiday called the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to achieve, apparently, the elusive goal of making aboriginal dissidents happy. Or maybe, as an aboriginal leader suggests, to ensure a kind of 24/7 guilt among Canadians about Canada. Sounds like a winner. The Toronto Sun quotes Perry Bellegarde, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, as saying it will be a “day set aside so Canadians continually get it and will never forget the impact of genocide in the residential schools on Indigenous peoples.” Or maybe not. Some comment late Wednesday is that it will be thoughtlessly regarded by most people as just another day off. Business interests are likely to worry about the growing number of don’t-go-to-work days in Canada. Productivity and all that. A Reconciliation Day will make 13 such days in Ontario.
