Speech On Imperialism
It is very hard to write down, event think for Justice Murray Sinclair, a great word warrior who set up whole his life fighting against racism and cultural bias to reveal any bias in his speech.
There is no bias, but sometimes words can be misleading.
One of the difficulties in defining colonialism is that it is hard to distinguish it from imperialism. Frequently the two concepts are treated as synonyms.
I believe, the exchange of these terms are the root of Prime Minister Harper saying, that overshadows his apology.
Similarly, "Non-Aboriginal people" is not a synonym for "wait people", it doesn't mean just white people. In schools, we haven't got "both sets of children"
In 2011, 19% of Canadians belonged to a visible minority and 37.4%
