My dad is a veteran and he said it was hurtful to see young Canadians hating the country for its past.

This feels like it's downplaying the horrors in our history.

I don't think there's many "young Canadians hating the country for its past." I do think younger people feel shame for some of our collective past actions and guilty for how they may benefit from those actions. Personally, think reconciliation is important, and that issues like residential schools are not done and gone because they're in the past, they continue to affect people in the present, and potentially for generations to come.
