Jody Wilson-Raybould believes reconciliation is possible. It starts with understanding the past [Video]

In an increasingly polarized political landscape, it can be hard to visualize a Canada where settlers and Indigenous people truly come to a place of reconciliation. But Jody Wilson-Raybould is confident it can happen — and believes we’re on our way there. 

She said that change can only come, though, if people know the truth about Canada’s past, and the varied experiences of those who have lived through it.

“What I have, in traveling extensively around the country, experienced is Canadians from all walks of life wanting to know more and wanting to know what they can do in terms of advancing reconciliation,” she told CBC’s The Early Edition host Stephen Quinn. 

“This is progress. We have made progress. We certainly still have a long way to go.”
