The "Notable Examples" section here is much longer than I expected:

This must be so hurtful to some people, I can't even imagine. The CBC investigation looks thorough. A response like this is just weak.

On "Day 6" this morning on CBC Radio One they had a Metis Lawyer on who estimates the amount of "Predentians" to be about 25%. That number is huge.

The problem is, as she states in the interview, that there are no winners in this only losers.
