OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – In a meeting held in late March, Canada’s Indigenous Affairs Minister Patty Hajdu claimed that the “impacts” from the “colonization” of the nation, which was mainly done by European settlers, are a “stark” reminder of the work that needs to be done to decolonize the country.
“Each of these days serves as a stark reminder of the impacts of colonization, stark inequities, and trauma,” said Hajdu during a March 25 meeting of the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.
Hajdu declared that the impacts of colonization “continue to have such a significant impact on First Nations, Inuit, and Metis communities across the country.”
