  1. In related news, True North reports on a councillor in B.C. who wants to decolonize people’s minds and thoughts.

  2. Did the “Great Spirit” create the so-called “First Nations” from the mud of the Canadian soil? Or did they “settle” too at some point? And here I thought our so-called “First Nations” friends were all card carrying atheists, just like any good little leftist. No “Great Spirit” right? Ugh! How!

      1. Beat me to it. Intelligent people are aware that you can only go back so far with these land claims and reparations. When are the Chinese going to repay for the Mongol Horde or the Arabs for the constant jihad and Muslim conquests, say, of Indonesia?

  3. First Immigrants.

    Second Immigrants.

    Children of the first two.

    Somehow the first and third are special, but the second one isn’t? Isn’t that kind of, you know, racist?

    1. How! Kee-moh sah-bee Zoell. White man even in stone age, white supremacist! Ugh!

    2. You can’t say that! No matter what the evidence, it’s racist and an attempt to delegitimize indigenous peoples. Just stop. ~sarcasm~

  4. Yep. It takes a “settler” there FIRST … to produce a Mestizo. Last time I checked reproductive biology.

  5. Didn’t there need to be “settlers” before there could be “Metis”? If a Metis is a half breed, does someone keep a studbook so that we know who is a Metis? If ones great great great great grandfather was a French Canadian fur trader and their great great great great grandmother was an Indian, but they didn’t selectively breed though the intervening generations, how much genetic admixture can one have and still be a Metis? If I were Italian (or whatever) and my wife were Cree, would my children be considered Metis?

    1. Of course they would. Now lets put that question in a European context. If a Scot marries a Greek, what are the offspring? How about a Pole marrying an Italian, what are the offspring. The whole exercise is so blatantly absurd that it is beyond belief but somehow we have been sucked down this vortex that has no bottom.

      1. My grandmother was Swedish, grandfather was German … guess that makes me Muslim (now)

        1. There are indications that there may have been some Huguenot ancestors on my mother’s side because they fled to Berlin to escape persecution. Does that make me French as well as German?

        2. My mother was French and my dad was Greek, which makes me a Freek.
          Oh, and the French side first came here in the mid seventeen hundreds, so I am as aboriginal as anyone, although maybe not fully “white” owing to my olive complexion. What a country!

      2. Antenor
        ” If a Scot marries a Greek, what are the offspring?”

        the offspring would be sheep’s worst nightmare!

  6. Am I the only one in Canada that is getting sick to death about what this country is becoming. All of these groups that are blaming ‘Whitey’ for things that happened historically can only criticize. They have no concept of the benefits that ‘Whitey’ has bestowed on the whole of the human race. If ‘Whitey’ hadn’t colonized the Western Hemisphere the First Settlers would only now beginning to work metal, think about that for a while. If ‘Whitey’ hadn’t developed foreign aid programs there would be a lot less people inhabiting this planet. I could go on ad infinitum but I don’t have the energy or stamina to deal with the imbeciles that are about to inherit the pinnacle of man’s accomplishments as they attempt to destroy everything that has been bestowed on them.

  7. Shouldn’t the ‘settlers’ working as Trudeau’s media harem girls resign and hand their jobs over to the First Peoplekind?

  8. The racial division of Canada continues.

    Remember, Canada is now a ‘post-nation’ state. We are simply a collection of specifically identified races inhabiting some land somewhere. Without history.

    1. Liberals love putting people into their little groups. Creating angst and division.

  9. Let them destroy it. Emigrate. Dozens of countries on the planet who actually DO know what white people in the West have achieved, and will fall all over themselves to get you and your expertise to move there, and share your knowledge, skill and work ethic. And they will love you for it.

    It is a global world. Go where you are treated best. Let the Western ingrates smash what you have built. The best revenge is not giving a shit as they starve. Not caring as their bridges collapse. Not giving a damn as their coroprate sector dissovles into a clusterf*ck of accounting errors and management failures.

    Personally, I will find it highly entertaining assisting my new colleagues in compiling blacklists of Western liberals who are refused entry to my new home, for being “dangerous anti-social subversives” like Navalny. I will get a very special kick out of watching Western white liberals like UnMe and AllanS relegated to virtual house arrest by having to avoid roving mobs of bipocs growing increasingly pissed off at the collapse of the comforts they used to take for granted, and blaming the few remaining whites for the “sabotage”.

    I am going to love watching white liberal kids doing whatever they can to darken their skins, and adopt “ethnic” dress and customs.

    The West is done. Through the history of revolutions, not a single one has improved the country (the US was a rebellion and an independence movement, not a profound societal revolution).

    It’ll take 100+ years to recover from the current Western revolution. And what is rebuilt in its place will be nowhere near as good as what once was.

    Beat the rush! Emigrate now! You know it’s over.

    Currently, Britian, Canada and the US, are Rhodesia, and Mugabe is about to take over.

    1. Hate to break this to you but what you are forecasting has already happened. Want an example, just look at the actions that the government has implemented to force an untested and experimental vaccine on an uncomprehending population that have no idea of what they are allowing to be injected into their bodies. I’ll bet better than fifty percent of injectees are not aware that this was an experimental vaccine. I don’t think that Mugabe in his wildest dreams could have imagined the population lining up to voluntary get injected with a possible genetic engineered vaccine.

    2. “Beat the rush! Emigrate now!”
      .
      .
      What’s the point?
      They’ll just follow us wherever we go !!!

  10. The issue for all the victim groups, regardless of race, color or creed, is that they believe that their problems stem from and are caused by the actions or inactions of other people, never their own. And the singular issue of solving a problem is that you must personally own the problem, including its causes, before you can ever hope to solve the problem. You can’t blame someone else for your circumstances and fix your circumstances – it never works.

    1. I think that the victim groups are also being fed propaganda. They are being manipulated and used, and they will sadly be cast aside when the goal of destroying Western democracies is complete.

  11. I believe all of this is an effort to destroy Canada. Destroy our historical symbols ( Sir John A), suggest our historical population consists of aliens (settlers), destroy any pride we once had in our country ( genociders), cancel any events that bring us together (Canada Day). Note that Natives have traditionally been a part of Canada Day celebrations. This is a systematic attempt to destroy our sense of nationhood. Natives may benefit in the short term, but it’s an illusion. I believe they are being used by the globalists to push us further into ” post-national”. This is an evil agenda that we must resist.

    1. Their intention is pretty clear, now…. at least to anyone paying attention.

      The Liberals want to continue to use and abuse Canadian natives to widen divisions the same way Democrats continue to use and abuse American blacks to divide America. Despicable, racist wastes of skin that all these leftards are.

      1. What continues to amaze me is the blacks in America and the native Indians in Canada are so stupid and ultra slow to pick up on what’s going on. And this is multi generational.

        Those two groups demonstrate their basic stupidity and genetically low IQ by remaining ignorant to how they are used and abused and held down for political reasons by the left.

        They must share the blame for our encroaching demise as a nation and a culture. They are making life miserable for a lot of other people who know what is right and what is bullshit.

        White settler-Canadians aka (white working class) are owed reparations.</b>

  12. How many generations does one have to be resident in a geographic land mass to be deemed native?
    If the Six Nations are deemed native, that puts it at the end of the US revolutionary war. Due to the fact that the land granted to the “six nations of tribes” was given to the tribal nations that had fought on the British side and had to leave what became US territory. You know, immigrated to British North America (aka Canada). That means that from 1776 to 1867 which is 81 years would be the means test of whether one is deemed status worthy.
    My family has been here in excess of 150 years.
    That makes me native.
    That’s not racial bigotry it’s using historical record.

    1. Exactly. My families have been in what is now, Canada, for over 200 years, the earliest arriving in 1817. Most were economic migrants, having no place left in Scotland, when the mostly English land owners started “the clearances” and also Northern Ireland, when few economic opportunities were available for young people. The Brits promised land ownership, if one worked hard and “developed” the Canadian property into viable farms. Where are my reparations and apologies? Actually, who wants or needs them? I guess standing on two feet and working hard is now a white racist trait.

      A lot of “so-called” first nations are also settlers, many from USA, from 1700 conflicts and prairie summer “hunter and gatherers”. That can not be said, so much, for many BC non-treaty/maritime tribes. Many “so-called” first nations/metis tribal folks have done well, thank you. The Indian Act continues to support tribal fiefdom systems, not any kind of nation whatsoever.

      Follow the links to parents see how much they benefitted from “settler culture”. I wonder if she would like to live on North Vancouver with her ancestors.

      1. L, my family as well. Generations of my family spoke Gaelic, in fact my paternal grandmother could speak it. In Cape Breton there used to be a radio program call the Gaelic Hymn Sing, she understood and listened to it whenever it was aired. No one owns anything forever and freedom is far more important than anything.
        Standing on two feet and working hard has indeed become a white racist trait. I wonder just how all those who are at the trough we and our ancestors created, will be able to feed themselves?
        One of my biggest complaints against many from Scotland is that they were foolish enough to embrace unionism.

    1. They were just fighting global warming be exterminating the methane producing ruminators.

  13. If you were born in Canada to Canadian parents you are an indigenous Canadian.

    How could you not be?

    You couldn’t be indigenous to anything else. Unless you’re Liberal and stupid.

    1. Oooh, that makes you a Natural Born Canadian. So you can run for Great Leader? We have a similar rule down here, but it’s been dumbed down and ignored for a while now. In half a year or so, we’ll have an anchor baby as our next Great Leader. She’s as much yours as ours, and is in no way indigenous to either.

  14. L – The number of indigenous people in Canada with white man genetics on their genome is
    high and growing. But the most important factor is culture. Those who have acquired the personal skill set and education to provide value to an employer do well.

    Those who have not are always being tempted by the ideology of resentment, to blame their problems or lack of success on something they can’t control. If they buy into that, they give
    up their agency in their own lives. Giving it over to totalitarian minded politicians/bureaucrats on and off reserve. Thus becoming enslaved to them.

    1. Percentages are rather meaningless in this case. More slaves were owned by white slave holders but that’s beside the point. There is no defense for slavery. That being said, I know that throughout history slavery was quite common and slaves of every colour have been owned by people of every colour. Besides that, there are other forms of slavery. The Democrats hold on American blacks being one of them.

    2. And let’s not forget the “indigenous” (to Siberia) slaveholders – of each other, blacks, and whites. They practised enslavement equity, I’ll give them that.

  15. Not to drill down too deep but there’s a distinct reason the 1875 MLB baseball team was named the NewYork Giants and why archaeologists almost need Senate approval before putting a spade in the ground anywhere in or near the huge earthen mounds in Ohio and elsewhere lest they find something strangely curious.
    There’s history and then there’s protected history. Fact is we know jack shit about early America and it’ll likely stay that way. “Indigenous” have got a lock on the “we were here first” narrative and aren’t going to let it go… all anthropologists know that suggesting otherwise is career poison.
    That said – Whitey has to eat the shit sandwich that’s being fed to them and that’s just how it’s going to be.

  16. Thanks for posting Mr. Goldstein’s tweet. I just got done making out a complaint to the Canadian Press. If any SDAer wants to also complain, here is the link:
    http://www.thecanadianpress.com/contact/

    (Typing out the complaint was a pain, since the format is user unfriendly). After CP tells me to go to hell, I am then allowed to complain to a national news group, which I will explain in a later post.

  17. Why do we import every stupid idea from the USA? A few decades ago, we were just all Canadians.

    Yes, there was bias in times past. We thought we were doing Indians a favour by educating them, but big mistakes were made.

    And yes, Polish immigrants changed last names to become more employable. Whatever. That was then. What CRT is doing is highly dangerous.

  18. “If I were Italian (or whatever) and my wife were Cree, would my children be considered Metis?”

    YUP!!!Get on the gravy train

    1. No because Metis is a specific culture that appeared on the scene about 100 years ago and was the product of French Canadian men marrying indigenous women (there were a few Scotsmen in the mixture too) and they have been a distinct culture for about 100 years with a peculiar but lovely version of French that is a mixture of French grammer with many indigenous nouns thrown in and spoken in a soft accent with no gutterals. There are some specific cultural things, songs, dishes, dances and dress code. To get Metis status you have to prove your family has been connected to the Metis culture for at least three generations. I have a nephew who is Metis by virtue of his mother.

  19. “Settlers” is the same term those sympathizers to the muslim cause use to refer to Israeli citizens who build houses and farms outside of their “permitted” areas.

    “Settlers” is used to push an agenda. The term is used with intent.

  20. I was born here, my parents were born here, my grandparents were born here, my great grandparents were were born here, I could go on but the terminally stupid would not like it. Everyone on this planet is temporary. You have what you can get, earn, were given, whatever, during your lifetime. When you die it is no longer yours and not your families if the left is to be believed. Those who support communism are destined to die at the hands of those who are fomenting the insanity we are now living.

  21. I thought the Santa suits said that anyone can self identify as Metis. We are all treaty people.

    1. Everyone with a French name should claim Metis status and scream racist if anyone questions it. The average French Canadian is 1 or 2 % Indian. Most of the French Canadians around here look like they could be Metis. I knew a red haired Metis women whose great grandfather likely rode with Riel. She was pissed off because she couldn’t return to her job in the US because she didn’t look Indian enough for US border guards despite the Metis card.

  22. Our family settled in North America before there was a thing called Canada or the United States. You’re goddammed right we settled this dump and built a nation. And yes, we’re responsible for the Metis, and you’re goddammed welcomed for that too.

  23. Taxpayers aren’t “settlers” or “colonisers”, They are citizens (yes, I know – Canada).

    But, if their presence is SO offensive, let them leave. They will burn down every house, water filtration plant, farmland and factory before they leave.

    F— you, “indigenous”. If you love the Stone Age so much, you’ll get it good and hard.

  24. According to the Great Han,all persons of Chinese ancestry remain Chinese,to be protected by the Empire.
    So our current First Settlers came from China,hence the difficulty telling a Dene from a Chinaman.
    When China invades,it will not be an “Invasion” but merely social justice to right the wrongs being committed against their children.
    Can Ahh Duh is a rotting corpse,we need to break free before the worms consume us as well.
    Civilization is impossible with the mindsets the Progressive Comrades are promoting.
    We need to boot them out of our affairs and guard against their return,until they all suffer the logical consequences of their idiocy.
    No bag limit.

  25. The irony of course is various Canadian “Indigenous” busied themselves trying to wipe each other out long before Europeans arrived but they were smart enough to con everyone that it was all our fault.
    I live in the vicinity of two distinct Indian bands who wouldn’t be able to agree on the weather if you paid them. Well, maybe if the price was right.
    Thought I’d get my shots in now because once C-10 is rockin’ and rollin’ comments like this will be verboten.

  26. I have a favourite story on this crap. I pulled into a Walmart parking lot a few years ago with a canoe on top of my pickup on my way to do some fishing. I was approached by a young woman obviously fresh out of a university indigenous rights activism class. She told me my use and ownership of an aluminum canoe was cultural appropriation and I had no right to do that.

    I pointed at the tires on her SUV and said, “Well by those rules the wheels on your Jeep were culturally appropriated from my people and you have no right to that.”

    She called me a racist and walked away mumbling to herself.

    1. Ancient Indians used aluminium? Clever lot they were, considering how that metal is produced. That would have meant that they also had electricity and knew chemistry, let alone having a source of bauxite.

      Oh, wait a minute. The use of metal was a way of “whitefying” the culture that was stolen, wasn’t it?

    1. Well my ancestors knew how to tell them apart because they shot at the Iroquois. And only the Iroquois, not the Hurons or the other tribes/nations the Iroquois bullied. Of course that was before the British showed up and fucked everybody.

      1. The book described how there were three kinds of Cree that these European women encountered, she described as Woodland, Swampy and Plains. The Woodland and Swampy Cree were really interested in European ways enjoying the security that farming brought and how living in a house with a fireplace was so much nicer in winter than a teepee. The Plains Cree were a very small band of thugs who had enjoyed making a living in the past by raiding the Woodland and Swampy Cree for their needs. Once the Europeans arrived they simply switched to trying to raid the Fort and force the same nonsense on the “settlers”. They abused the woman in their group leaving them to beg at the Fort for food and they refused to do any kind of work regarding it as beneath their dignity. Once they took power and murdered the European men and captured the Woodland and Swampy Cree and the White woman they had no issues with forcing their fellow Cree to do all the work while their formerly abused women got to wear fancy items they stole and enjoyed beating and abuse their new slaves. When the RCMP arrived they assumed all the Indians were complicit and it took some effort by the two White woman to explain who the real bad guys were and who the heroes were and for the thugs to eventually be separated out from the victims. They were all Cree, all of them, just some were basically criminal sociopaths.

  27. To all the commentators here of mixed ancestry I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your comments, truly a treasure trove of humour. Keep up the good work. Deus Vult.
