Today's edition of the Cybersalt Digest is a unique one, in recognition of the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.
Simply put, for 7 or 8 generations the government of Canada, with the assistance of a number of churches, attempted to erase First Nations culture by forcibly removing children from their families and homes and then placing them in residential schools around the country. All of these children suffered unimaginably because of being taken away from their homes. Many, many of them were brutalized and abused in all manner of ways.
While First Nations people have known for a long while that many of the children who never returned are buried in unmarked graves across Canada, non-native Canadians are just realizing that reality following the initial discovery of 215 unmarked graves in Kamloops, BC.
We are a country in the very early stages of coming to grips with and beginning to talk about the unspeakable truths of our longtime (which is also recent) genocidal history against the First Nations amongst whom we still live. We are doing this in order to find, and move along, a path to true reconciliation with them.
Shortly after the discovery of those 215 unmarked graves, I was humbled and honoured to take part in a conversation with two members of the Wiikwemkoong First Nation, and a member and a Chief of the Aundeck Omni Kaning First Nation. My purpose in contacting them was to learn how I could be a better participant in the process of reconciliation and how Canadians can extinguish the systematic racism that still exists in our homes, our churches, our denominations and our institutions.
That conversation was recorded and the videos are now live, today's video share.

Our three-year-old daughter, Jenna, was having trouble sleeping through the night, waking up because she was afraid. Each time as I re-tucked her into bed, I would remind her that Jesus was with her and he would keep her safe. The sleepless nights continued, with Jenna seeking comfort in our bedroom.
With such a tumultuous summer, I’m glad we are now beginning the fall season. There for a while, I didn’t think it was going to come. But, contrary to my negativity, it has arrived, and I’m delighted.

We think Cybersalt's collection of Christmas jokes is the best collection on the net. Right now it features over 70 jokes.
Over the years, some of the most popular pages on the Cybersalt site have featured Funny Cat Pictures. We have to admit that even though cats often look at humans like they owe the feline world something (remember dogs have owners and cats have staff), cats aren't as bad as a lot of the press that they get.
Some say the world can be divided into two types - cat people and dog people. For the cat people of the planet, Cybersalt has the
