Apology not enough for comparing B.C.'s COVID-19 mask rule to residential schools, say First Nations members


 
VANCOUVER --
A print shop owner on Vancouver Island has apologized for comparing mandatory mask use in classrooms to the abuse faced by thousands of students at residential schools.
“Using the example of residential schools was completely thoughtless,” wrote Angie Roussin on Facebook. “The suffering and hurt that I caused by my post comparing residential schools to masks in schools was insensitive, inappropriate and disrespectful.
But First Nations on Vancouver Island, in particular in Ucluelet and Tofino, told CTV News they doubt the apology was sincere.
“It’s difficult because seeing the statements that the individual had made prior to the apology, it’s one of those feelings that, ‘Oh, you got caught red handed,’” said Mariah Charleson, vice-president of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Tribal Council.
