I will assess the landscape of apology and reconciliation in Canada and Australia and make a comparison. I plan to show how the apologies were implemented and how the process of apology and reconciliation develops with the intention of showing how colonialist notions are reproduced. First, I will explain what the political apology is, second, I will present a brief background of the reconciliation process leading up to the 2008 apologies in Australia and Canada. Third, I will point out how colonialism is present in the apologies and the overall process of reconciliation in Canada and Australia.
