IQALUIT, Nunavut — The prime minister is to deliver an apology today on behalf of the federal government in what is expected to be an emotionally charged event marking decades-old mistreatment of Inuit sickened in tuberculosis outbreaks.
Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett, who will accompany the prime minister, told a Senate committee last month that Trudeau would issue the statement as part of a process called Nanilavut, which means “let’s find them” in Inuktitut. The apology has been in the works for the better part of two years, since Trudeau signed an Inuit-Crown partnership agreement in 2017.
Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., the organization that speaks for Inuit in Nunavut, has said it wants to help family members locate burial sites of those who died during tuberculosis treatment from the 1940s through the 1960s, whose bodies were buried in southern Canada instead of being returned to their relatives.
He's been apologizing for everything... except what he actually should be apologizing for.
Did he die from the TB?
Can apologize on others behalf but when it comes to his mistakes its time to play the blame game!
And they still have quite high rates of TB. Is he going to address that?

I think Trudeau is going to find out that indigenous Canadians are nowhere near as stupid or gullible as he believes they are.
