Canada apologises for persecution of gay public servants
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday apologised for a campaign by previous governments to rid the military and public service of LGBTQ people. Calling it a "collective shame", Trudeau said, "We were wrong. We apologise. I am sorry. We are sorry." The Canadian government has allocated $85 million (nearly â¹550 crore) to settle a lawsuit filed by the victims.
