On this National Day
for Truth and Reconciliation,
I stand with all Canadians,
bearing the guilt of a history
marked by loss and silence,
the innocent lives of Indigenous children
whose spirits still call for justice.

We are bound by the obligation
to grieve, to remember,
and to carry the weight of remorse,
for the lives lost, the futures stolen,
and the deep scars left behind.

In this moment, we commit
to accountability and retribution,
to the work that remainsβ€”
to heal, to rebuild,
a society where all are seen,
and the echoes of the past
no longer go unheard.


β€” Sincerely, Boris
Boris Cho
