It's tragic. That's what I was talking about in my first post. It's not about what happenED hundreds of years ago. It's about recent history and it's about what is happening this very minute. Imagine... the Red Cross has to help because Canadian governments won't do their duty and take action in this dire situation that has been well known about for years? They can spend millions and millions of dollars helping Afghans (and shooting some, too) but abject poverty right here at home is ignored? and worsened by greed? The corruption and neglect have to be eliminated. And Harper could start with one simple order. It is ideed shameful, at best.
