Very moving and powerful.

DRAMA KING CTV

In his speech it sounded as if he apologized for the actions of the governing bodies, but not one real word saying he was apologizing for the actions of some priests.

The great 'asskissing pilgrimage' continues. It's enough to make anyone want to change their religion. It's disgusting. I can't and don't watch. But the original gorilla, Justin Trudeau, is in his glory.

CreesonCTV Can you find out/tell us what she said when she addressed the Pope? Following her singing O Canada? It didn't look as if anyone was interpreting her words to him. I cannot imagine what her message was.

Beautiful

Whatever she said afterwards did not sound like it was too forgiving or at all in the spirit of reconciliation…

It was very powerful and full of emotion..id like to know what she said afterwards...didn't sound too forgiving

what she said right after that?

This was one of the most moving and powerful things I’ve ever seen.

This is the face of pain and sorrow for children in unmarked graves disappearing not coming home as well as girls and boys being stolen from their parents and many abused. Returning home broken without parents, family, culture & language. Institutions and humans can be cruel.

It was an incredibly powerful moment. I had goosebumps & even looking at this woman’s photo, I’m emotionally moved.

Darn, I missed it, I would have liked to see that.😟

what a circus

What happened to the mass graves

Wait one moment. The look on that woman’s face is like she just swallowed a Carolina Reaper pepper.

Hahaha get the fuvk over it my god. It’s such a pathetic performance the way these Natives pitty themselves 24/7. Weak af

🙄

Just like Elvis

What does she say after singing?

F🤬 the pope 🖕🏻
