He said he could not change history; he could not change the past.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1846846\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The government has apologized for residential schools. It has compensated Chinese immigrants for the head tax. But when the time comes to atone for a blatant theft, why is he abandoning the unemployed?</p>",
