    1. Every Indian child’s body recovered which is offset by a settler child’s body recovered shall result in $0.00 transferred from taxpayers pockets to Indian pockets. Let the excavations begin.

  2. The imaginary facts I have heard and read, regarding residential schools, defy logic. The mind is an amazing thing, when tied to emotions. And the average person denies they are creative. This proves otherwise. Let’s the funds flow. Maybe a full length movie dramatizing the history. It would be as factual as Indiana Jones.

      1. Right you are Robert. And since they’ve blown the first $12 million with no accountability, why not demand more? Might not get it if the Conservatives win, but it’s looking more and more likely that the LIbs will retain power.

    1. Agreed. I’ve got the $18 one in the trunk of my car. But in a show of generosity and colonial exploiter white guilt, I’m willing to spring for the $50 one. Hell, for half a million dollars, I’ll go out and dig up the first ten “graves” myself.

  5. Assuming there is a small kernel of truth in any of these claims, How did North American Pre Columbian People mark their graves? Headstones or organic materials? If they used organic materials, how do we know the graves were unmarked? Or, did they culturally appropriate the custom of headstones?

    1. You are assuming they marked them at all prior to contact with the europeons.

      Some of the tribes strung the bodies up in a tree, and then moved away, some buried them, some wrapped them in buffalo hide and then shoved them into caves or crevices.

      Burying in the time after the europeans arrived, was marked with a wooden cross, which eventually rotted away.

  6. The shrine should read: “Dedicated to the success of the taxpayer-funded campaign to mine white guilt and cash from baseless and outrageous allegations thanks to a culture in Stockholm Syndrome.” Subheading: “Behind closed taxpayer-funded Band Council doors, we’re laughing our asses off at their gullibility.”

  7. Time to end the lawyer inspired “Indian Grievance Industry “. This all started with Trudeau and Cretins White Paper giving them 50 million for lawyers and like an uncontrollable cancer, has never stopped. Time for some tough love. It’s ridiculous, they just turned down another 52 billion for social services because it’s not enough.

      1. Yes. One-time compensation payout and then all Indians become Canadian citizens, no special privileges.

        1. I’ve oft advocated a similar deal for any American who can trace their lineage directly to a slave. Pay em (a rational, reasonable amount) and then shut up forever about “systemic” racism blah, blah, blah

          But then I come to my senses and remember no one owes these people anything more than they owe me.

  8. I wonder what percentage of ALL money given to the indians is then given directly back to the Librano’s?

  9. Of course they want money. They’ve been conditioned to think that they can get paid off for every bullshit reason they can dream up. If it wasn’t for “unmarked graves” it would be for some other nonsense.

    Canada has trained them, like feeding wild grizzly bears table scraps. Now you wonder why they might turn on you in order to keep the table scraps coming? Show me all the marked graves these Indians made before they lost the game of conquest. Bet you can’t find any of those either.

    Indian Grievance Industry is exactly what this is. And the demands will just get larger and more outrageous. That’s how extortion works.

  13. So sick of the grifting, and ready for a new Canadian Prime Minister to put an end to it.

    (/sarc)

    Seriously though, I haven’t watched the puck drop on a hockey game for about two years now because of the obligatory ‘land acknowledgements’, and I stab a random button on my car radio every time they start one.

  14. Time to cut all treaty ties. Why not? Health care is already free, public education to Gr 12 is free. Could maybe keep some of the hunting/fishing laws. Stop the handouts, start fending for yourselves. Maybe consider some new leadership as the rest of us are doing.

    1. The grift is in the federal and provincial gov’ts as well.
      Somehow, I don’t think any of the treaties had a “Canadian taxpayers will keep giving you money forever” clauses in them.

      1. You may wish to read some of the treaties, such as Treaty 8 here: https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1100100028813/1581293624572

        It really does include payments “annually afterwards for ever”. And the reports from the Crown negotiator that make clear that the payments were not only for those Indians alive at the time but also their descendants. My reading is at least some of the Indians bands were interested in a large lump sum payment, and the Crown negotiator encouraged them to take perpetual annual payments instead precisely for the benefit of their descendants.

        There doesn’t seem to be any mention of inflation, however.

    2. When I was a wee lad, Indian culture wasn’t welfare culture. Indians used to pick roots for farmers and hoe sugar beets in southern Alberta. They also used to hunt and trap but they outgrew the reserves. A reserve with 100 members 150 years ago now has thousands. Once they started paying them to do nothing there has been an insatiable demand for government money.
