Summary
Minorities in Canada did not begin to have good rights until further on and there are still things rising up from scandals of abuse in the Residential Schools. Though at the time the Canadian government didn't do anything, the mistreatment later lead to the people who were affected by these things by receiving a lot of compensation nowadays.
