Reconciliation?  You blame us white people  for the lack of progress, but you shun white Canadians' real and deeply felt desire to reconcile.  Natives  will never  permit  our histories and cultures to find that magic balance because actual reconciliation would end the gravy train. What happens after reconciliation?  You guys go and get jobs?  Trust me, white people do want to reconcile once and for all because we will save billions a year when you finally go your own way.
