Reflection Questions
Question: Should today’s government be held responsible to decisions past governments have made?
Today’s government didn’t completely connect with the past government, meaning they didn’t have much to do with it. It’s possible that if today’s government laws and beliefs were the same back at that time, something like residential schools wouldn’t have happened.
The government is what caused it in the first place. Though they may not be the same now, the government itself still made those decisions in the past, and if lead by the wrong people again, something wrong could happen again in the future. People may even think bad things are happening now with our current government, because they don’t agree with some things.
I don’t think that today’s government should be held accountable for it, as they clearly would not have wanted it to happen in the first place. Even if they believed otherwise, they were still not the same people to make those options. It’d be like shaming one specific country for doing something, even if it was in the past and their current leaders even disagree with it.
