OTTAWA — A leader of the Metis National Council has asked Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay to act quickly to ensure an apology is issued to Metis veterans from the Second World War before it’s too late.
“Upon their return from the war, they were met with disrespect, then ignored, and never to receive the economic benefits and reintegration supports that they were promised,” he wrote on Mar. 4. Upon their return from the war, they were met with disrespect, then ignored, and never to receive the economic benefits and reintegration supports that they were promised
“He remains committed to appropriately recognizing Metis veterans for their courage, achievements and sacrifices that they have made in defence of Canada,” the office said.
Metis need to apologize to Canadians for launching a rebellion years ago
Apology 187
Considering there was no Métis “nation” until recent government capitulation this is a non-story. There were programs out in place and requirements outlined. Not all “white” veterans qualified either.
I hope u paid the high school student who wrote this article
Federal govt. must do something, real action real help, rather than fly around and apologise. Apologies w/o actions worth nothing.
O god when do these god dam apologies end?
Métis just experienced it differently no apologies from Trudeau forthcoming...
You may want to apologize to to all vets for lying about FULLY restoring their disability pensions too...maybe...
Enogh with the apologies my God everyone has a beef against the government...we are the only country in the world doing this and have done .uch worse ...we live now not then and have a different experiance
Quick, find another group for Trudeau to fake apologize too. His corruption is getting found out and his vacation will be over soon. They'd be better of waiting for someone with a shred of ethics and morals. No more fake tears. TrudeauMustGo
