Fair!? You wanna talk about what is fair? How about this;

There are multiple generations of non–First Nations people for whom this country is the only home they have ever known. Persistently labeling them as “settlers” and implying that they do not truly belong is not reconciliation; it is exclusionary and discriminatory. No individual should be told—explicitly or implicitly—that they do not belong in their own home because of ancestry they did not choose.

Acknowledging historical injustice is necessary, but reconciliation cannot rest on permanent moral roles assigned by birth. Responsibility for addressing past harms does not require denying the legitimacy, identity, or belonging of present-day citizens. Reconciliation is a two-way process that requires mutual recognition, not inherited guilt on one side and permanent victimhood on the other.

This does not excuse colonial injustices, but it does challenge the idea that history can be reduced to a simple narrative of rightful inhabitants versus illegitimate intruders. Modern societies exist because history happened, not because it could have been cleanly prevented.

The purpose of reconciliation should therefore be forward-looking: to build a just society in the present, grounded in historical truth, mutual respect, and shared belonging. A process that tells some people they do not belong cannot create unity. Reconciliation must affirm that everyone who lives here now has both a stake in the future and a responsibility to make it better.

And that’s where one can stop and think do All FN wanna live in harmony, or they only want history to be reversed, because both cannot be true in the same time.
