With mere weeks to go before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offers a formal apology on behalf of all Canadians for people who were persecuted because of their sexuality, there are increasing signs that the apology will be accompanied by reparations.
The federal government is negotiating with lawyers involved in a class-action lawsuit brought by former members of the military and public service who lost their jobs in the 1980s, and earlier, because they were homosexual. Sources speaking on condition they not be quoted said both sides were making progress in establishing some form of compensation for those the victims.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh insists that an apology without reparations would be meaningless.
“Based on who they chose to love, they were faced with very serious discrimination: dishonourable discharges, being removed from their jobs and being persecuted and having a criminal record,” Mr. Singh told reporters outside the House of Commons on Tuesday. The apology, he said, must include “measures to ensure there’s a remedy, that there are reparations.”
Giving away our tax money to losers again.
Only two more years.........Only two more years.........Only two more years.........Only two more years.........
