Hymie Rubenstein- National Day for Truth and Reconciliation delegitimizes truth. So do attempts to criminalize “residential school denialism”
Today is Canada’s “National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,” a statutory holiday in many parts of the country.
A growing cohort of informed Canadians will see this day as one of countless federal government virtue signaling-cum-propaganda efforts meant to obscure, deny, or hide the truth about our country’s interaction with its indigenous people, notably the role played in this interaction by the Indian Residential Schools, a noble albeit flawed and occasionally harmful effort to help Canada’s first settlers adapt to the challenges of a rapidly modernizing country, an effort the historical record shows indigenous people and their leaders strongly embraced.
A perfect holiday from The State of Thuggery.
No truth.
No reconciliation.
George Orwell would be proud,these minions used 1984 as an instruction manual.
Right down to Government Issue “Double Speak”.
The question every apologist refuses to answer..
“Whose rules shall we use?”
Those of a defeated people?
Which consisted of ;”Me wants me takes” if I can get away with doing so.
Or British Common Law,how ever poorly applied.
As for the abuse of these defeated peoples?
The Canadian Apartheid System is chugging right along,instituted and enshired by Liberals for decades..
What a lovely grift.
We should have conquered them like the Spaniards did. Up to now there were very few issues in Latin America with whiney natives. White libtards have been trying to stir the pot without much success.
I entered Bull Sh*t and Extortion (uncensored) into Duck Duck Go and it all came up with Federal Gov BS Propaganda about Whiney Indian Day. I haven’t tried Google or Bing though.
I’ll have to remember that name for it. I’ve been calling it “racist liars day”, but yours has more kick. When someone looks shocked at my use of those terms, I ask if they’ve heard about the (fed paid for) excavations to properly bury the remains from the mass Graves. That found no bodies or remains to rebury. So they kept the money and are being quiet about it.
“I ask if they’ve heard about the (fed paid for) excavations to properly bury the remains from the mass Graves. That found no bodies or remains to rebury. So they kept the money and are being quiet about it.”
Pierre Poilievre should bring that up in the House any day now, right?
The Lieberal government and their activist allies use the “National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,” to work against any chance of either truth or reconciliation. We have a statutory holiday dedicated to promoting racial division and false accusations.
I look at it as a reward for incompetence holiday. The government has made a complete hash of things particularly native and so gave itself a pat on the back for doing such a lousy job. Typical.
I agree with Rubenstein. The delegitimized truth extends to the Missing/Murdered Indigenous Women, the 60s Scoop, the Unmarked Graves etc etc.
No reconciliation until both sides start with the truth.
Let’s never forget, that not ONE body/skeletal remains have been unearthed, despite the widescale, hyperbolic propaganda of the LIEberals, ENDP, the media, and of course, the Abos themselves.
Even the Kamloops band on Turtle Island has backed off of their previous incendiary language, not that they are repentant about their propaganda.
Sorry, Not participating or even acknowledging BANG A DRUM day.
We’re going to Costco for a Tube Steak, then back home for a glass of wine!
BANG A DRUM AND MADE UP INDIAN CHANTS DAY?
Orange Shirt Story is yet another Indigenous falsehood, part of a pattern that increasingly reveals “Indigenous knowings” as fictional and “Indigenous knowledge keepers” as fake horror stories peddlers.

I started wearing one as an anti-abortion message. Unfortunately, that was quickly overshadowed by the lies.
Every time I see orange shirts at any gathering of more than 3, I question if those shirts are paid for by George Soros and Co. as part of the Orange Revolution/anti-West teardown scheme.
Follow the coin, there will be a rat at the trough. Pallets of bricks for the equalling of society come to mind.
Once we legitimized “holocaust denialism” as a crime, we legitimized the same treatment of all of human history. Open for debate is which historical event it will be illegal to talk about next.
Liberals/NDP will deny that they’re destroying the Country. Criminalize that.
Perspective…
I’m waiting to see what happens with wheels and arches constructed in a regime that directs, by statute, that the value of Pi shall be 3.

Hymie wouldn’t go there with you. He considers that Jews are the indigenous people of Palestine
and that it is AOK to return there and kick the others out:
// Because the Jews of the world are the REAL indigenous people of Israel … //

See what happens when one improperly installs weeping tile.
Yeah, the weeping never stops.
Happy Indian Grievance and Perpetual Victimhood Day.
The Genocide resolution passed unanimously.
Well and truly shocking.
Our PM is a flat out communist wreaking unimaginable destruction on the country. HE HAS TO GO.
Pierre Poillievre is the next leader who has the best chance of restoring — fully or partially — the Canada we know and love.
MY QUESTION:
Had he voted NO on that scandalous resolution, would the other parties — ALL LEFTISTS — and their media stenographers have had a field day destroying PP and our chance of replacing the communists?
“MY QUESTION:

No, because the actual facts of the situation were on his side. And he KNEW THAT, but still he chose the cowardly way out.
How can anyone in this day and age not know that the Big Lie technique no longer works since the advent of social media? In the old days, sure…there were only a few wealthy owners of newspapers, radio and television stations and they were easily persuaded to go along with The Narrative. But now, there is simply no way to hide the truth anymore. We know how many residential schools there were. We know how many attended, and how many were actually ‘f0rced’ to attend (as opposed to the numbers of children who were brought there by their parents, who sometimes *begged* for them to be admitted). We know how many children died at those schools, and how many died on the reserves (and why). We know how many children were abused (or merely *claimed* abuse, with no actual evidence required) and how many of the abusers were actually brought to justice (or at least investigated). We also know how many native children say it was the *best time of their lives*, and credit their time in residential schools for their future success in life, and how they have been bullied and threatened in silence.
We know all this, and much more. Yet we allow this SCAM to continue, at our expanse, because no Canadian politician has the courage and integrity to stand up to the Native Grievance Industry. This is just shameful.
The CBC is just inundated with this garbage today. As you may have guessed, no comments allowed.
Funded by the Canadian taxpayer, but they have no interest in hearing what we have to say.
“The CBC is just inundated with this garbage today. As you may have guessed, no comments allowed.”
They haven’t allowed comments on this topic in years. They even make excuses for it on the website.
I call it ‘Liberal Lie Day’. It fits rather nicely.
Dicktatorship (sic) by other means.
So at what point do the settlers and injuns consider their differences to be reconciled?
When the money runs out???

The two aspects can exist together:
// The Cree author Tomson Highway is often cited for this purpose.
Highway has spoken positively about his years at the Guy Hill Indian Residential School and credits the education he received for much of his success.
Those who cherry-pick certain statements by Highway probably haven’t read his memoir, Permanent Astonishment,
which recalls how, from the age of eleven, he was molested regularly by a school staff member who Highway estimates also molested a hundred other boys.
“The results are horrific,” he writes of the abuse.
“Their lives are destroyed. And they think about it and think about it and think about it.” // The Walrus https://archive.is/EFyMN
“// The Cree author Tomson Highway is often cited for this purpose.”
Because he is well known, yes.
“Those who cherry-pick certain statements by Highway probably haven’t read his memoir, Permanent Astonishment,
which recalls how, from the age of eleven, he was molested regularly by a school staff member who Highway estimates also molested a hundred other boys.”
He is also ONE guy out of thousands who attended those schools. Now who is cherry-picking?
