Today marks the 25th anniversary of the first apology offered to Canada’s First Peoples by The United Church of Canada. No, we’re not “there yet” because we’re still on the long journey toward seeing our apologies fulfilled in actions and in truth, healing, reconciliation, and right relations. It’s why we take opportunities to participate in the work of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission as well our own Right Relations work.
As you know, i have a virus and have not been posting much.
I received a WonderMail today kind of demanding me to apologize for something I said or didn't say to a poster on a thread. It seems long ago and I don't know what it is about.
However, my question is: When do you apologize. Why do you apologize. Can people ask you to apologize? Can you be made to apologize. Are apologies private? Or should apologies , here in WonderCafe, be made public ( even though you don't know what you are apologizing for?
As somebody who has had in their personal life been deeply affected by cancer, my intent was certainly not to show any disrespect for cancer victims, survivors, or their families.
However, it's clear that these remarks have been interpreted in that way. So I want to offer a clear apology to anyone who has been offended by what I've said.
Hello Liberals and everyone misfortunate enough to read my posts from about a week ago.
This has been a difficult few weeks for me ( as some of you already) know because of some issues in my personal life. That is not an excuse but it is the reason I have been edgy and looking for a fight.
It is a little late but I am here to offer my apologies for the tirade about the liberals.
