Instead everyone who voted no is branded as racist or dumb
I hated the idea and don't think it was useful for anything than opening dialogue.
But opening dialogue could have been done other ways.
I voted yes because it's another step.
First Nations people already have voting and political rights, they have equal treatment under law and equal access to government monies. I want them to use that to the fullest extent possible.
If it were me and I was in government I would ask what kind of lives they want and I would provide the opportunities for them to achieve that. For each person .
As were most people who voted no. Many just have a different vision of what is good for society. Being a democracy we have to accept that there will always be diversity in belief and opinion about society, even when we vehemently disagree.

I think most people who voted Yes were well meaning.

Agreed but unfortunately social media in particular brings out a special kind of viciousness in people.
And good people are intimidated into saying nothing
