Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is apologizing for the way Inuit in northern Canada were treated for tuberculosis in the mid-20th century, calling it colonial and misguided.

Trudeau is acknowledging that many people with TB died after being removed from their families and communities and were taken on gruelling journeys south on ships, trains and aircraft.

The prime minister made the visit to the capital of Nunavut a day later than planned after bad weather prevented his plane from landing on Thursday. Trudeau also announced the opening of a database that Inuit families can soon use to find loved ones who died when they were transported south for treatment.

The database is part of a wider initiative called Nanilavut, which means "let's find them" in Inuktitut.

Picture this...camera fades in to a close-up of a man with nice hair...an announcer’s voice comes on: “He comes from money. He is clueless. If all else fails, he at least has one thing going for him...He. Is. The Apologizer!” ‘The Apologizer’...coming to theaters April 1

It was so sad and bad situation with indigenous people, good apology from Prime Minister, but the most important is help them and avoid that never happen again, it is very important to our Country.

What a clown! What colour socks was he wearing?

What? No tears?

Another apology lol

Says he’s sorry and cries. This guy is a joke as a leader

He is a joke

But not for the SNC-LAVALIN crap? Lol

You only sorry cuz you got in trouble. But the apology is empty

And he still hasn't apologized for Caillou.

Breaking news... Trudeau apologizes to an Arby's customer today. The man endured the indignity of having someone cut in front of him while he was suffering from hangnail.

What about other people who were treated like shit with TB? It wasn’t just the Inuit.

did he cry tho?

So in 30 years from now someone will get to apologize to Canadians for all the wrongdoings your Government from 2015-2019? JustinTrudeau liberal_party

How come every station omitted the fact Trudeau just gave them $640 Million for housing improvements. And to be administered by Chiefs .... no strings attached, our accountability. I wonder how much of our money will trickle down to those needing housing once Chiefs are done.

The master of weightless, effortless apologies on behalf of everyone else, but never anything he should be personally accountable for. The epitome of narcissist liberal elitist.

All this guy ever does is apologize to various minorities and give media HUNDREDS of millions of taxpayer money. He's a politics machine, not a leader.

He is really thinking ' damn election, regan and I should be in a helicopter going to aga island not freezing my keester off in iqualuit'.

Huummm .... so he apologizes for things he didnt do, but not for the things he DID do ? Interesting.

He always apologizes for the past, but he won't apologize for his own scandals. Unbelievable

too late

But not his woman Indigenous Attorney general

Don't apologize just resigned

I'm sick of apologies from from politicians who, let's face it, werent even alive when the event took place. Saying sorry doesn't fix anything, especially when he wont even apologize for the things that he HAS done. Also, not the day to do it. Its International Wo-people's Day

Just step down, this will apologize to all Canadians ! Sorry but you have allowed wsib to screw and steal from working men and women who paid for many many years in case they are struck by instant disability. WSIB is exposed and it's incompetentence is overwhelming now.

No more apologies, everything that has happened in Canada is not something you need to be sorry for and have too except as your responsibity , you have become a embarrassing kiss ass prime minister

Another day another apology... the most Canadian prime minster ever

Must be an election year.

All that tool is good for. When will liberal_party voters apologize to Canada? Well now ! A whole day spent apologizing for mistakes....the average employee would be fired for making so many mistakes and apparently not learning from them ! The lesson here boys and girls is, never accept money from anyone who wants to buy your silence ! Doesn't take the bots long to get on these stories. 45 seconds after posting? Yeah, looks like some people are working fun time jobs to discredit the liberals. Kinda exactly what happened to the Americans 🤷
