Governments should be held responsible for actions/decisions, made previously, today, because, an example: governments sent children away from their home and families to churches called Residential schools, where they were forced to change all their personality. Also, at least 6000 children died in these schools, so since those children will never be able to live again, the government, today, should still be held responsible. This is my position opinion, because there are many other actions the government has made, which ended in people dying, provinces being destroyed, families being torn apart, etc. Most of these things cannot ever be fixed, so I think there should be a life sentence for the government, for these actions/decisions.
