5th annual reconciliation day, marked by events in Ottava, Toronto

Today is the fifth national day of truth and reconciliation – the day when Canadians reflect on the heritage of schools of residential premises and remember those who have survived and those who have never reached the house. The era of the school school dates back to the period between 1857 and 1996, when 150,000 children of indigenous peoples were forced to attend church schools, where they were forbidden to speak their languages ​​in institutions, often abundant abuse, located far from their families and communities. According to estimates, 6,000 children died while visiting schools, although experts say that the actual number can be much higher. September 30, known as the day of the orange shirt or the national day of truth and reconciliation, is designed to honor the survivors and those who have never come home.

The survey says that 43 percent of Canadians disagree that Canada primarily belongs to the indigenous peoples, while 19 percent of respondents say that they do not know.

A look at the congratulatory call of Trudeau, which could be on Kamal Harris

Justin Trudeau had a clear leadership of what to say in early November last year, if he picks up the phone to congratulate Kamal Harris on the fact that he became the first woman -president of the United States. Advisers suggested that Trudeau tell Harris that he was glad to work on general priorities, including women's rights, abortion, climate change and the environment. Notes prepared for the call also advised the treudo – the prime minister at that time – to say that he welcomes Harris in Canada at the next possible opportunity.

However, the notes and related materials received by the Canadian press through the law on access to information show that federal officials were prepared for victory by presidential applicants.
