	Former Student Finds Cold Comfort in Pope's Apology By Benson Mcculloch CJME April 29, 2009 http://www.newstalk980.com/story/20090429/15689 Pope Benedict says "he's sorry" Canadian aboriginal leaders say they got the apology they were seeking during a meeting with Pope Benedict today at the Vatican. But at least one former student isn't as charitable with his opinions. Ted Quwezance, a student for 11 years at two different residential schools in Saskatchewan, says he isn't impressed with the Pope's gesture. "There's no confession of any kind from the Pope," Quwezance said. "He didn't apologize, he just said he's sorry it happened." Quwezance says many in the Catholic church still resist acknowledging the extent of the abuse unlike other churches in Canada. In Quwezance's opinion, the legacy of residential schools continue to be a detriment to many First Nations people.
