We demand the resignation of Senator Lynn Beyak and issuance of a formal apology.

When you own an experience that is not yours, it shows your privilege.. this is the complete opposite of reconciliation

After all that's been revealed about the horrors of the residential schools, comments such as yours are inexcusable.

I insist she resigns or is removed

Resignation is required for Senator Lynn Beyak!

Resign

Is she extraordinarily ill informed? Any other explanation casts her in a light far worse than plain ignorant

This woman has no place in politics or society. No more coddling of her or people like her. Time for them to be held accountable.

She needs psychiatric help and needs to be removed

Classic colonized privledged views. Not needed.

Senator please remove yourself or we will do it for you. You are disgrace.

I live with the aftermath of Residential schools..having to learn my culture and language again..so I ca try and yeach my children and grandchildren..my own mother whom attended RS doesnt know her own language or our culture..and carries much shame over that..and she is mentallyaffected an not allowed to be alone with my children and grandchildren because of her mental instablity and abusive personality..Our experience is not limited to just my mother whom attended but has affected her whole family..and we have suffered..thank goodness we have help via counselling, and First Nations healing organizayions to help us gain out self-worth back. I could go on but I dont have time to write a book on all the horrible legacies left to me and my family, from my mothers stay at a Residetial school

We can't have someone stupid enough to say that sitting in the our Senate. Better an empty chair.

This woman has no gray matter between her ears....disgusting person she is

For mom and dad

Beyek's statements are thoughtless and inappropriate. She is simply not a good fit for the job. Surely Canadians deserve better. It is important to have confidence in our Senate. Her removal is necessary considering her professional limitations. No doubt a more suitable person exists. Why settle for less?

Daughter of two residential school survivors

She us entitled to her opinion, but she is not entitled to undermine the huge human rights travesty that was the residential school system.

No excuse for the ignorant comments she made. Nothing about residential schools was good. It is a shameful part of our history. For survivors and their families, this must have been unbearable.

Please get her to resign prejudice woman

Hope this will be heard across Canada.
