babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

Canada stole Indigenous children and does anyone care?

Indigenous leaders seek apology, settlement in ’60s-’80s “Scoop” lawsuit

Quote:

The federal government wants to sit down and find a settlement to lawsuits over the ’60s Scoop, Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett said Wednesday.

Bennett said she is open to finding a solution to legal cases over the scoop, which saw thousands of aboriginal children taken from their homes by child-welfare services and placed with non-aboriginal families between the 1960s and 1980s.

“We, as you know — as a government — would like to get things out of court and to a table where we can make those kinds of agreements together, as a way forward,” Bennett told reporters in Winnipeg.

“We want to work together with all of the litigants that are presently in court and try and get to the table.”

So, this Liberal minister can't sit down and talk while the courts are dealing with lawsuits?

Perhaps she should drop dead.

So sorry to wish death on someone, but really, it's not capital punishment, it's a natural death.
