A look at news events in September 2020:
01 – The federal government recognized residential schools as a National Historic Event. Jonathan Wilkinson, minister responsible for historic sites and monuments, said history has to tackle tough subjects as well as happy events. Chief Dennis Meeches of the Long Plain First Nation said the band hopes to open a national residential school museum near Portage la Prairie, Man.
02 – The German government said Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny had the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok in his system the same one that was used to poison former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Britain in 2018. Navalny’s supporters insisted he was deliberately poisoned and pointed the finger at the Kremlin, which scoffed at the accusations.
