One of my parents went through the residential school system and to this day, she still cannot trust our current Prime Minister. The reason being is that neither him nor his father have done anything meaningful for reconciliation. Virtually every other Indigenous person I know doesn't like them either.

Thanks to you and to jeffster for the links and for the personal perspective.
I didn’t say much about how bad the schools were because I take it that in this context we all understand that they were bad, even if we (or at least I) don’t fully understand; just hearing stories and testimony in the media is no substitute for hearing directly from a survivor or being a member of a community that was directly affected.
I was just questioning the specific mention of Trudeau with respect to vaccines. One doesn’t have to like Trudeau to recognize that the work that has gone into developing the vaccines is excellent science and that the people responsible for the vaccines care about making something that is safe. The vaccines wouldn’t be safer, or different, if Mary Simon was PM instead of Governor General.
