National Post- Closures of B.C. parks to non-Indigenous visitors a sign of things to come
A year ago in these pages, I criticized land acknowledgements for implying that non-Indigenous Canadians are “uninvited guests” in their own country. Now, the B.C. government has embraced these labels.
To the applause of her colleagues, NDP MLA Rohini Arora stood in the legislature earlier this month, encouraging non-Indigenous British Columbians to describe themselves as a “settler,” “colonizer” and “uninvited guest” living on “Indigenous land.”
The so called First Nations are in fact settler colonizers. Time for them to return from whence they came.
Rohini Arora and her socialist clapping seals can piss off.
Let’s talk about what “indigenous” means, and how dictionaries and online searches are changing the meaning.
I am indigenous to this place, being native to it.
Unlike Rohini, my maternal side goes back to the 1700s in Kanata.
So again. Piss off.
This is my home and native land, and I will walk my local woods when I want to. By the way, I get along just fine with the local “indians” here in the OK valley. In fact, I have had a great rapport with bros from Ontario, Alberta, and BC. To my first nation bros…quit letting these progressive twats use you for their own ends. Be brave. Magwitch and all that shite. With respect.
A civil war will solve all of these problems.
Indians back to India!
Africa, their ancestral home.
Hard times produce strong leaders. Strong leaders produce good times. Good times produce weak leaders and weak leaders produce hard times. With a BC dingbat government it is easy to identify what phase we are in now. Unfortunately!
Yeah, stay off our land.
That’s what the Britons said to the Romans, who had gone around the island willy-nilly building roads, buildings, walls, fountains, villas and whatnot.
Then the Roman Empire went to hell in a handbasket and the Brits had the island all to themselves again. Well, except for those Romans that hid out in Wales, that is.
The lesson here is that all the descendants of the very early settlers of Canada just have to wait out the more recent interlopers and soon enough, particularly with the WEFers in charge, Canada will become a smoking ruin, everyone will pack up and leave and it will all go back to the earlier settlers.
Just gotta have a little patience.
Well … the good news is that the only AFFORDABLE houses in Canada today … are native bark huts. Back to nature!
Uninvited guest living on indigenous land???
My ancestors bought the land fair and square from their ancestors.
Actually read the treaties you keep squawking about.
David Eby is without a doubt the biggest twit in Canadian politics now that JT is gone.
Okay, I’m a settler/colonizer, and proud of it. We need more settlers and colonizers and open immigration will deliver them!
You’re a savage parasite who got nothing in common with people who civilized this land.
Its a pretty tight competition between who hates Whitey more: the government or the Indians.
Or the Antifa.
Easements in municipal law establishing rights of way after a certain amount of time has passed exist.
Does not almost every real estate transaction except perhaps patches of land in subdivisions have to respect these things? Like if your neighbour has used your property to get to his for fifty years or something like that, well now he has a right that you can’t simply eliminate?
How long ago were these stupid treaties signed? People, corporations, government own this place.
Grifters came across the Bering Strait? Send’em back over to the other side…
There is no one that is occupying a space on Earth that wasn’t occupied by someone or some group previously.
If collectives of 5% of the population of BC having 1/16 or better indigenous DNA “own” Crown land, then they own all land as the Crown granted all private land from “Crown owned” land claimed by the sovereign. It also means that tax payers are funding and obeying laws of a non-existent state. In such a lawless province “owned” by a semi-racial collective, who of the other races, amounting to 95% of BC’s population, is expected to peacefully honor rights claimed by a racial legacy of a culture that had no written language, laws, rights, titles, and lived on lands taken from other tribes. In such an NDP inspired hell-scape we have essentially returned to “first contact” in the form of mob anarchy squatting on land allegedly owned by people wholly dependent on non existent taxpayers.
I wonder if a forest fire were to start whether the White Man would be asked to come in and fight the fire.
And whether he would go to help.
Why would they? The non tribal people of BC get virtually nothing from the sale of timber anymore as 75% of stumpage now goes to the Chiefs and the rest gets eaten up by the forest service pretending to administer Crown tenures that are only functional when “partnered” with the Chiefs. BC now, on a productive land base that could sustain a cut of three times that of Alberta and once did, is now cutting the same volume as Alberta. “Professional” foresters now swear allegiance to indigenous knowledge.
