Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s official itinerary said he planned to spend National Day for Truth and Reconciliation participating in private meetings in Ottawa on Thursday.– skipping ceremonies in places such as Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc near Kamloops, where more than 200 unmarked graves were found at the site of a former residential school, or in Tofino’s Village Green, a short distance from the luxury beachfront property where he is staying.Mr.
“It’s almost a flagrant, in-your-face kind of thing – at least to us as Indigenous peoples – because the first national day of Truth and Reconciliation was an important one,” said Dr. Sayers, chancellor of Vancouver Island University, whose ancestral name is Kekinusuqs. Ontario NDP MP Charlie Angus said the trip showed “very bad judgment” and questioned if anyone could imagine a Prime Minister trying to explain that he spent Remembrance Day at the beach.

Did the Liberals not establish the day off for truth and reconciliation? Actually a good day for leaders not to steel the limelight.
I'm so sick of the biased media. Dig your heads out!!!!
I guess the PM’s vacation is a bigger story than a triple homicide…
Conservative media?
Since Trudeau made the holiday, I guess he can decide whether it’s a day of politicians or a day of reflection. The media, which is conservative friendly and hates Trudeau, does not get to decide.
He clearly does not take 2016 ceremony with the Tsuut'ina Nation naming ceremony and the honorary headdress given to him. With that comes a huge responsibility. He’s a fool.
Why don’t you talk about Rakesh David who has close ties to the party you support and who has been accused of killing family members? cdnmedia
NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation
It is totally irresponsible to say PM Trudeau's trip to Tofino, BC to see his mother was a complete letdown. The only first PM that does so many things to help financially the indigenous across Canada and listen to their issues and trying to find solutions to their problems.
RESIGN
this is hopeless 😞
The day isn’t about Trudeau!
Good for him. He spent it like he said he would. Get over yourselves.
Want a real story? How's this? A Conservative staffer smuggles a gun to Trinidad and murders his family. But yes do run this everyday instead. Ffs
Conservative corporate media suddenly cares about native issues.
Give it a rest and go do your real job. CdnMediaFailed
It could be worse. He could have had the holiday given to him.
rexglacer Come on,man? You go on like he committed some kind of heinous crime. What did you expect him to do,fast and pray all day long. Get real?
'Western Canada' only exists in the wishful thinking of western separatists, and central Canadian journalists who have long-forgotten basic grammar. On the other hand, 'western Canada' is the cultural and historical region extending approximately from Dryden, Ontario, to B.C.
You can stop now

Maybe he should step in in Alberta and save a whole bunch of Canadian people your job is to protect us all !!!
It’s the lies that aren’t tolerated. Glad our family didn’t vote for for this Détestable person.
You're rapidly approaching the trashiness of the Toronto Sun. Quite a feat. CdnMediaFailed
So this retread is simply a blatant attempt to get more subscribers out west? Why not a big “I ❤️ oil and gas” on your masthead?
NDTR was a day for Canadians to quietly reflect on our nation’s history and to allow Indigenous Peoples to tell their stories. The Day was not about JustinTrudeau Let’s Boycottthemedia in order to bankrupt them.
I don't understand why FSW DRAWS.spousal visas/COPR are halted due to travel restrictions when students/tourist are getting visa and traveling. What is the logic behind it? Is the corona virus selective marcomendicino CitImmCanada liberal_party JustinTrudeau CPAC_TV
Oh leave the guy alone. He and his family are allowed a vacation …jeez Canada pick a real battle like anti vaxxers in Alberta
heattended wed evening formal ceremonies on the hill and spent hours on the phone with survivors. why cant his family visit the ocean
Uggh, more hogwash. Does Canadian mainstream news media have a future? Asking for a friend.👇
What about THIS? CdnMediaFailed
Nobody cares about the Indians. Why is this so hard to understand? Leave us alone already..
I miss journalism
Stop! Attacking The prime Minister Justin Trudeau for taking a much need vacation!
Good for him.
He should be more like his dad and brother. Dead !
What an embarrassing article Pick 1 specific band to spend the day w/he'd b criticized Go to large group function. Criticized Travel to a few events. Criticized Stay home. Criticized The media was always going to make it about JustinTrudeau CONmedia cdnpoli
Stop already! You’re losing readers. You’re losing credibility. You’re losing respect and trust.
....And Chief Crazy Socks Lied About It After His Fake Itinerary Was Taken Down “He wasn’t on a beach” said Trudeau spokesman Alex Wellstead MagicKingdom PeterPanPM Team Train Wreck! 🧦🇨🇦 ❄️😜🤡🎈 And Repeat Over & Over & Over & Over....
When will the Inhalation Anthrax be detected ? Asking for a friend☠️👁️🤫
the best place to be reminded what work lies ahead !
I wish the media would stop making September 30 about Trudeau! and focus on why this special day exists.
The Globe and Mail keeps first Truth and Reconciliation Day focused on a white male. Do better.
Don't worry, he'll be on T.V crying an apology!
Now do every other leader.
He deserves a rest who cares
Why didn’t you track down Kenney in Europe (Thailand) while Alberta burned? Surely that’s a more scandalous story? Cdn media is TRASH
Trudeau and his Liberal government not doing their jobs last six years imposed this PC, woke, SJW, virtue signaling 'National Day for Truth and Reconciliation' on the people of Canada...so important JT goes on vacation.
Very glad the PM took a well-deserved break at Tofino, starting at some point yesterday - it’s one of the most beautiful, serene places in Canada, perfect for reflection. Also very glad he kept out of the limelight he inevitably attracts, on a day meant entirely for others.
Officially unfollowing your page. You aren't news. You're no better than Post Media now. What a sad state our media is in. Just disgraceful.
I guess you missed the part where the band asked for no visitors due to Covid? Just asking for a friend.
And why? Because this is a annual day of mourning for the Trudeaus to remember PET and Michel. The constant hate-on for the Liberals is the oldest GOP tactic. Why the F are we seeing it here in Canada? enough
Leave the man alone. He has done so much and just won an election. The atrocities of indegenous children did not happen during his watch, nor he or his government had anything to do with it.
He didn’t get his majority government so he snubs his nose to Canadians and his darling middle class…”I have your back”…JustinTrudeau
Treadu does not care. Why should we ?
And you wonder why we don’t subscribe.
'It was a error in judgement' 'we need to be better' stop me if you've heard this half a dozen times or so.
His followers will see no wrong in his actions and he knows this. Also cats need to watch him and learn how to always land on your feet.
Isn’t this old news by now? Good grief.🙄
Is there no other news you want to cover? There is a pandemic still raging in our country. Alberta is on 🔥. Who about looking at Ford & Kenney & how they have disappeared for extended periods while Covid continues. I am tired of the media's obsession to bring down the PM.
Why are you making truth and reconciliation about the PM!? Do your fucking JOB!
Still at it I see. Trudeau walked on a beach. 😱 Why aren't you covering this horribly tragic huge story about connected Canadian Conservative arrested for triple murder?
Maybe the media should do their diligence in reporting facts!
If I believed the mass graves fairytale I would want a lot more than a virtue signaling T-shirt day and a vacation for fed employees.
Just say sorry JustinTrudeau and you good to go. 😉
So otoole lost, rightie media, get over it! Had he won, Canada would have become ALberta! Count your blessings!
Slow news day that you have to keep repeating this story … what happened to you … shameful journalism ! Guess the R wing has you by the … ?!?!?!?!?!
Me too.
Way to stoke more division in our society with this shitty headline.
Guy constantly says that the relationship with indigenous people is the most important one..first day of reconciliation.. drinking beers on the beach despite numerous invitations from indigenous communities to attend their events. Leadership fail.
Tell us, which Residential schools survivors' stories told on NDTR, moved you the most. Do share with us.
No doubt he was reflecting on his dad and deceased brother since it is his birthday and the date of his dad's passing.
Mr. Dressup goes surfing. What a sham
