Canadians are always apologizing, or are they? We are back for a sixth season and in this episode [1:29] Leah and Falen discuss how they use the word “sorry” and why [4:20] and take a deep dive into the theory that it comes from the country's British foundations. [8:33] We learn that the British and French brought dueling with them as a way to resolve conflict. [20:00] Then we look at how the word is connected to conflict resolution, which Indigenous people already were doing before contact [21:44] and examine the many apologies of the Canadian government [25:05] and try to find out whether or not Canadians actually apologize any more than anyone else.Here are links to previous episodes mentioned in this episode:Kanesatake 300 Years Later, Part 1: https://link.chtbl.com/eUDOXoMZKanesatake 300 Years Later, Part 2: https://link.chtbl.com/jeMsG6HUFor other links, references, transcripts and more about this episode, visit us at: www.cbc.ca/radio/secretlifeofcanada
