    Trust you will also discuss that, Thanks.
  2. A Concerned Canadian from Vancouver, Canada writes: This is the most rediculous thing I've heard of. What happened so many generations ago has nothing to do with me or my generation, so why sould we pay for what was acceptable then but not today??

    I expect the next appology to come from Portugal, Spain, Great Britian and France for discovering the Americas and taking them away from the Native Americans. To follow Canada's and B.C.'s lead I also expect those governments will pay the Natives current real estate prices for all the Americas.

    Why is our government accepting responsibility for things that happened hundreds of years ago, right or wrong at that time and those of us that had nothing to do with it now pay for it??

    Sh*t happens, times change. Live with it!

  6. Michael Sharp from Victoria, Canada writes:

    We've already had a grandson of one of the members of this ship accept the apology from Harper.

    He will therefore accept the apology from Campbell.

    Whatever the rest of us say is moot.
