Contrary to the popular misconception,  Canadians really do want reconciliation.. White Canadians want a finalization of these grievances so we can all move on but we keep getting blamed for the impasse.. Native and aboriginal leaders actively try to prevent Reconciliation from happening by moving the goalposts with ever-spiralling demands for more money for things that nobody today is responsible for. 
 Native leaders refuse to acknowledge the many terrible things natives have done to each other. Actual reconciliation would end the lucrative white man guilt industry and that will never happen. 
The entrenched stagnation is killing native kids on reserves,  but they will wait for us to do something about it. Reconciliation is just a big word that sounds noble, but means nothing.
