Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    It is absolutely abhorrent that you imply that torture was used both in residential schools and as prison segregation. You know very well that torture was abolished world wide in the late 18th to early 19th century’s. Therefore it is absolutely preposterous to accuse the Canadian state of the use of torture. The residential schools were meant to be the aboriginal children’s best chance for success in the new country we have created.…

    I think that everyone will experience a traumatic event in their life which will cause a division of their life into a before and after. However, I do believe that everyone that experiences a trauma will be scared.
