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

I'm personally appalled that she would claim that the residential school system did any good at all. Last time I checked, both murder and rape are illegal and the fact that she is able to overlook these facts is disgusting and says so much about her character.

I, as a Canadian, am ashamed ofvher comments. She never suffered beside my parents or siblings. Was she raped, beaten and molested as a child, forced from her parents loving arms and returning as the shell of the child they once knew but still loved. I think not! She needs to resign, her ignorance is embarrassing!

This 'senator's behaviour, disgusting remarks and total incompetence is am absolute embarrassment and shameful for ALL Canadians. Her 'resignation is not only appropriate, it is necessary. The ignorance and callousness of her remarks, in my opinion are not representative of Canadians or their beliefs vis-à-vis residential schools. I do not know anyone in theie right mind, let alone a 'political 'leader' who would be listing positive aspects of the holocaust. I believe people would be (and should be) outraged! It sickens me to see such a misrepresentation of many Canadians' views on the injustices and human rights violations Indigenous people suffered. The residential schools legacy is a complete disgrace to Canada/ Canadians. The fact that we will tolerate this type of behaviour in our political system speaks volumes.. She's got to go.

Too ignorant to be a politician!

Mind If I put my mind into yours What will I find Will I have what it takes to be as strong as you A memory so sad A little child letting his mother's hand go Crying with fear Now you sit there with lines of age Each line telling a different story An old man who still cries Who still dreams it's like yesterday He is thankful for the ones who got him here He couldn't run his feet were frozen He couldn't work his knuckles were bleeding A little boy grew up to be a man in a blink of an eye Imagine you could never play Or hear yourself laugh Can you feel the screaming behind closed doors An innocence stolen In a mind where you can still hear your friends talk to you from a shallow grave You can only remember the dark side of the moon The silence in your cold heart You feel the kind of love with no care A forgotten child in a mind of an old man You do know it was promises of lies Now you blame yourself with shame In an old man's mind He still doesn't know why he was there By Poet Reginald Mercredi

fire her. give her pension to survivors of residential schools.

This excuse of a women should be fired,not allowed to resign, and do not let her collect a pension other than CPP and old age pension

Disgrace, as a first nation i see no reconcilliation with you and KKKanada

She has acted disgracefully and should not only recuse, but be stripped of her senate seat.

ABOLISH ICWG: 1. Intergenerational Child Warfare Genocide (ICWG): (1) Indian Residential School (2) Sixties Scoop (3) Indian Day School (4) Millennium Scoop 2. The Indian Residential School has been perfected. This current War Conflict is known as the Millennium Scoop. 3. Everything the Canadian government has apologized for on behalf of all Canadians is still happening to our children, families, communities, Nations. 4. You cannot put in the past what is still happening in the present. 5. The behaviour of Lynn Beyak is exactly why there needs to be a means of accountability. Sadly, Lynn Beyak is only one of many who still suffer from the Pathology of Columbus Syndrome. 6. Charge the Canadian Government, Christian Churches and Child Welfare Industry with Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, War Crimes and Crime of Aggression. 7. Abolish the Intergenerational Child Warfare Genocide now!

she needs to resign now. everything she said was rude and so wrong. she knows nothing, and she is completely ignorant.

She joins the many shady characters appointed by shady PM Harper. Even Harper knew when to apologize. Show some respect for the victims, the Institution and RESIGN.

I am deeply offended by this woman's lack of sensitivity towards the crime Canada imposed upon the First Nations people. She demonstrates that she is not qualified for this position. In fact she does worse for the integrity of the government and what it stands for.

Beyond an apology, this woman should be liable to pay damages for the harms caused by the damage a woman of influence and power like her can inflict.

Beyak's attempts to defend the indefensible—"genocide," by every legal and moral definition—disqualify her from the public debate. She must step down in order that healing may resume and continue.

...disrespect!

Her stupidity is crass and unforgivable. There is no good in her intentions. Remove her. She is a dam embarrassment.

It's 2017! Time for parliament to start cleaning up their dirty house! Remove her! We are going backwards here! What a disgrace

She should resign with no pension!

I definitely agree that this woman should be banished from our Canadian government. She clearly has no clue of what she is talking about. We do not need the likes of her in our government.
