King Apology to Canada for Abuse of UK Child

King Apology to Canada for Abuse of UK Child: Between 1869 and 1948, more than 100,000 children took the journey from UK orphan homes to Canada, where they frequently ended up working for little money in jobs such as on farms and people’s homes. People in the UK are encouraging King Charles and Queen Camilla to use their time in Canada to call for an apology for the mistreatment of British children.

Some call on them to take responsibility for the inferior conditions suffered by “Home Children” over many years.

In the UK, between 1869 and 1948, more than 100,000 children were removed from orphan homes and sent to Canada to work as cheap labourers, most of them as farmers or family servants. Some animals were abused during the tests.

Canadian authorities have not chosen to issue an apology, as both Australia and the UK have for the child migrant system.

Those supporting the Home Children believe the prince’s visit might inspire a better reaction.

Let’s hope that King Charles speaks about apologizing when he comes, John Jeffkins said on Sky News.

Bert, John’s father, was among the 115,000 British Home Children who immigrated to Canada in 1914 with his brother Reggie.

John believes that keeping children and their families safe is important now.

We deserve this; it also matters for healing us and increasing awareness of the Home Children’s story.

At that time, the Canadian government mistreated them. Soldiers faced harsh treatment and were very badly mistreated. They lived with little and faced rejection from others.

The forgotten legacy of British children sent to Canada.

He added: “It’s a good chance for us to discuss our campaign and ask for an apology, because we are part of the Commonwealth and the King is the new Head of the Commonwealth, meeting Canada’s new prime minister.” Both individuals can examine the matter from a different viewpoint.

Many areas of this visit highlight Canadian sovereignty and our identity, as is appropriate.

We should also consider that the people who built this country faced some of the greatest difficulties.
