One of Canada's largest provinces now says it's sorry for its "silence in the face of abuses and deaths at residential schools... [and] for the continued harm that generations of abuse is causing to Indigenous communities, families and individuals."

Joining us with his reflections on the rhetoric versus realities of reconciliation is comedian and podcaster Ryan McMahon.
