lottery ticket: Other critics insisted that apologizing to victims is a symbol of current attitudes which find fault in outdated traditions judged to be colonizing and discriminating by today's standards, according to Rabble.

Some argued that his late father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, would not have done so; in this patriarchal analogy, a son has to follow in the footsteps of his dad, whether he is right or wrong. Apologies are not merely monetary gifts won through a lottery ticket, or hollow words pronounced in public by teary politicians. They are highly symbolic gestures that are instrumental in building a collective memory, defining our history as a country and restoring faith in institutions. They are crucial steps for mourning victims and supporting survivors.
