I don’t have a lot of background information on this topic, but the stated timeline from this article alone is infuriating:
Most day scholars were excluded from a 2006 settlement
The claim for reparations was originally part of a broader lawsuit filed in 2012
The lawsuit, certified in 2015, was split into two claims [...] in August 2020.
A proposed trial date on First Nation reparations is scheduled for September 2022.
That’s a span of sixteen years, with no guarantee that resolution will even happen in 2022. As an outsider to both this situation and Canadian law processes, I don’t want to be too quick to judge, but I have a hard time feeling like there’s a legitimate reason this would take so long. If anyone here can shed some light on this for me, I’d appreciate it. I’ve been trying really hard not to react to things with kneejerk pessimism, but given what this article lays out, fighting that reflex is legitimately tough for me right now.
