Make sure you get your apology in before they become even more meaningless.
Oh, wait…
“We acknowledge that many graduates of Canadian schools of nursing provide care to ‘Indigenous’ patients that is racist and ‘culturally unsafe’.”
“The Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) is acknowledging and apologizing for what they say has been long-running and ‘systemic inequalities and racism’ in nursing education in Canada.
“This week, Cynthia Baker, the executive director of CASN, a national organization that calls itself the “voice” of nursing education in Canada, publicly apologized for what she said has been ‘inequitable access’ to nursing education for ‘Indigenous’ {sic} people across the country, fuelled by “systemic racism”.
…
“We acknowledge that many graduates of Canadian schools of nursing provide care to ‘Indigenous’ patients that is racist and ‘culturally unsafe’ {?},”
the apology reads …
“We recognize that actions speak louder than words, and we are dedicated to taking action that will foster anti-racism, cultural safety, and cultural humility in Canadian schools of nursing, and in our organization”.
“Asked for comment on the apology, Manitoba Nurses Union (MNU) President Darlene Jackson said in a written statement the union has incorporated protocols and language into their collective bargaining agreement that promote ‘inclusion’ and ‘diversity’, and combat ‘systemic racism’, and anti-‘Indigenous’ racism.
“We believe in removing barriers, and taking responsibility for the past” {?},
Jackson said. The current MNU collective bargaining agreement states that
“The Union and the Employer agree with the goal of achieving a representative workforce for ‘First Nations’ {Indian}, Métis {mixed Race}, and Inuit {colonist} peoples who are significantly underrepresented in the health workforce.”
“It also states several additional actions “needed to promote and facilitate employment of ‘Indigenous’ persons in health care occupations at all levels”, and a promise to collaborate in finding constructive ways of implementing the ‘Calls to Action’ outlined by the ‘Truth’ and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC).
“After the apology was released, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) released a statement in response, and said that while both the apology and proposed changes are a “significant step”, AMC has other specific recommendations to improve nursing education for ‘Indigenous’ people.
“AMC said changes in protocol should also be focused on faculty training to recognize and address effects of historical traumas, and mental health and wellness support. The AMC would also like to see increased efforts at recruitment from remote and northern communities, and more financial support to alleviate financial barriers for ‘Indigenous’ people, and those from remote communities forced to leave home to pursue nursing as a career.
…
“We are a signatory of the Winnipeg ‘Indigenous’ Accord, and are looking forward to working with AMC Grand Chief Cathy Merrick on the ‘Anti-Racism Working Group’ being set up through the AMC’s Chiefs ‘Task Force on Health’,”
Association of Regulated Nurses of Manitoba (ARNM) executive director Joyce Kristjansson said.”

“All that yet another virtue-signalling, pointless apology has done is to stir up yet another fight about who is, and is not, Aboriginal, as people try and jump on the Aboriginal Industry gravy train:
“Today, with a heavy heart, I respectfully and humbly offer an apology to the students of NunatuKavut who attended residential schools in Newfoundland and Labrador.“

‘Mea Maxima Culpa: The Ruse of Political Apologies’ (Gairdner):
“It all seems a little bizarre, and a reversal of normal morality, which is…that ‘those who do harm must pay’. Instead, we, who did no harm, must apologize publicly for something over which we had no control, and politicians — who stand to gain by appearing morally upright — are extracting money from millions of citizens who were not even alive at the time, using it to pay off descendants who have suffered no harm, and whose only connection to the deemed sins of the past is their blood.”

‘Time To Ditch The Guilt’ (Flanagan):
“For all Canadians who are carrying around guilt about what their ancestors — and not themselves personally — did to the Aboriginal peoples, please read this and then just let the guilt wash away:
“It was not a contest between Indian cultures and European civilization, but rather one between Indian cultures and all the civilizations of the Old World taken together… The entry of Europeans into North America, as into Australia, was the last act of a great drama — the spread of agriculture around the world. Meanwhile, another play was being enacted as organized states extended their sway over stateless societies… Both of these processes are so prominent in human history that it seems almost beside the point to raise questions about morality…”
