The Canadian govt's apology was an item on the early morning news in Oz. I'm not as familiar with the Canadian context as the Oz one but Big Mick's description fits ours to a T. While there are some in Oz who reflect gnu's fears, most [eople here are very supportive of the need for such an apology and the fact that it was given in the way it was; there appears to be no evidence to support gnu's prognosis in Oz and I hope the same is true in Canada.
