Could Have Spent It On Shovels

1. No surprise
   It was never about discovery
   Just ask Chief Spence

   1. Wasn’t that the chief who gained weight whilst on a hunger strike? Claimed to have been living on only “moose broth”.

      1. She was being chauffeured in a Hummer from her tent on the ottawa river to the Sheraton hotel every day at 5 pm to spend the night. I am pretty sure they had room service.

      2. I got banned from the Globe & Mail website for calling her Chief Spends and referring to the First Welfare Nations. 🙂

      3. “Wasn’t that the chief who gained weight whilst on a hunger strike?”
         Not sure; it could be the Order of Canaduh chief that was always praising Hitler and hating on jews.

   2. Because there was nothing to discover. And they know that. So they spent the money where it would do them the most good.

2. I so wish I would have become a consultant for government, I could be retired by now and living in my beachside mansion.

3. It goes to show that creating a crisis is a profitable endeavour.

4. This is the Information Age. Why do you want shovels and facts? All you need is a narrative and money to buy words to support the narrative.

5. They paid consultants to tell publicists that Denial Should Be A Crime.
   A metaphorical shovel for their bullshit.
   And we need more money…

6. Ohhhhhh mommmaaaaaaa … but what about the children? Those poor innocent indigenous children. Ohhhhhhh mommmmmaaaaa. Mass graves. Murder. Evil Settler Christians and their white God. Ohhhhhhhh mommmmaaaaa. How Dare anyone question our storytellers!?

   Now where’s the check for my indigenous publicist consultancy?

      SCHRODINGERS GRAVES…

      “One in 10 aboriginal children now lands in foster care, compared to one in 200 for non-aboriginal children, the AFN said. There are currently three times as many children in foster care as there were in residential schools.”

      You want dead & missing children? Check out the nearest Rez…

      — “The rate of deaths from injuries is 3 to 4 times higher for Aboriginal children than for other children in Canada.” —

      1. “injuries” … yeah CPS needs to deploy most of their agents to the Rez.

7. When the holder of the highest office in the government is an active participant in the grievance industry, this is what you would expect: Engineered victimhood, outrageous allegations, zero accountability from the PM and SCOC, right down to the most corrupt, taxpayer funded useless Indian chief, and worst of all, a compliant, incurious, media parroting the lies and pathologies of the institutional culturally Marxist left. It’s industrial scale grift and taxpayers get the tab while life on the reserve intentionally stays on display as miserable. It’s systemic social and economic death cult indulgences.

   1. Succinctly and clearly expressed. Yet there are no ears open to hear it

8. There’s no money in evidence, which is why this government goes out of its way to ensure that policy making is never contaminated by a hint of empiricism. It’s all about the feels, dontcha know.

   Oh, and for more of that “decision-based evidence making”, vote Carney. Or Freeland. They’re all the same.

9. Re graves

   Jean Chrétien was one of 19 children, 10 of which did not survive infancy.

   In my mother’s family tree, similar numbers of infant deaths occurred. Many of the infants were buried in unmarked graves, as people were poor.

   Point being, life was hard back then.

10. Jean Chrétien should’ve croaked in his crib.

    Residential School Graves, like their outhouses, are full of shit.

11. I appreciate the paywall notice. Wish that XTwitter would let those be tagged instead of me wasting time chasing paywalled links.
