Contrary to the popular accusation, we white people really do want reconciliation.. White Canadians want to come to a finalization of these grievances so we can all move on. Native and aboriginal leaders actively try to prevent it from happening by moving the goalposts with ever-spiralling demands for more money for grievances that nobody today is responsible for, while they refuse to admit the many terrible things natives themselves have done to each other. Reconciliation would end the lucrative white man guilt industry and that will never happen. Reconciliation is just a big word that sounds noble, but means nothing.

It is not just about money but the entrenched stagnation, which is also a native cultural reality.
