I am responding to Norman Dale's reaction and interpretation of my April 9 letter.
I did not mean to insult anyone. My point was when you reach the end of the road it doesn't matter who you are.Recently I watched my mother die in a extended care facility and a year later my sister in hospice. I am so grateful for these facilities and the people working in them. In my world, $l.5 million is a lot of money so I thought the money should be used to help all seniors.
I am old but I am not ignorant. Indigenous seniors are not the only seniors that have suffered in the past. Alcohol was the drug of choice and lots of families were destroyed by it including mine. The governmentin the past used to take your land if they needed it. My father owned a large chunk of land on the corner of 20th and Victoria Street.They needed it for a school. It's not a school sitting there now and my mother never received any compensation. Norman, you turned my letter into a letter I never intended it to be. I know one thing for sure - I am not as smart or as educated as you. A lot of people are afraid to write letters or give opinions because when they do, they could get a reaction like I did.
