Yes there were wrongs against those back then but there was also good.  I constantly hear of all the wrongs  but none of the good.  What about Dr. William Todd, yes he's my ancestor, who fought to immunize them against smallpox and was successful.  What is now Canada hadn't progressed like Europe with cities and inventions etc.  If people hadn't come to Canada where would they be these days?   Move forward, stand on your own two feet and quit looking back blaming the past for your today.  We all have things in our past that are not ideal but you make a choice on how you live today.
