another group that doesn’t realize that reconciliation is a two-way street.
And it begins with Truth.
Real, hard truth. Not some fantasy about the Garden of Eden here before the Europeans showed up.
And the truth is illusive and slippery. People lie about absolutely everything all the time.
History as it is written and preached is 95% fiction and wishful thinking.
There is no certain past and there is no certain future.
We must live in the present and measure our thoughts and actions by the realities around us, not the imaginings of what might have been or what may come to be.
Reality is the present, not some imagined other times.
“Indigenous roots on which it was built”? Are they referring to the accomplishments of a paleolithic culture which had no written language, never discovered the concept of the wheel and possessed little more than stone and bone tools with rare exceptions such as when a rudimentary understanding of metallurgy intruded? That’s not much to build on, IMHO, but then I guess that’s just evidence of a settler mentality.
There are > 600 FN Tribes recognized by the Canadian government. Soooooo Canada was built on the roots of 600 distinct, warring tribes of people who were essentially nomadic and struggling to live in the dirt with Stone Age implements? Indigenous roots? You mean like the roots they scavenged to eat? How’s THAT for a little TRUTH telling?
No wonder the comments are turned off.
Speaking as someone who has been BANNED from multiple platforms for speaking simple TRUTH.
That’s ok, once the East Indians and the Arabs take over, there wont be any generational settler guilt to take advantage of and the “natives” will be begging for a white person to fleece!!
Theoretically, if these First Peoples had always been left on their own (since whenever First Contact Day occurred) until yesterday, they would still be living the same way (and without horses).
And today they would look at us with our modern lives/technology as Gods.
Yep, the FN’s would have marveled at an empty glass coke bottle
Truth means … FN’s “truth” only as passed down by storytelling
Reconciliation means … Give FN’s MORE $$$$$
Lies, more lies and indigenous lies.
Indigenous roots. No one seems to be bothered about the people that the so called first nations pushed out or obliterated. Maybe there’s a lesson in this.
“Indigenous roots. No one seems to be bothered about the people that the so called first nations pushed out or obliterated. Maybe there’s a lesson in this.”
Don’t forget the slavery, or the habit of torturing prisoners to death if they wouldn’t make good slaves.
As I keep saying, most teachers should be fired, and all educational administrators.
Homeschooling … if you don’t want you children brainwashed and mutilated into some imaginary gender.
Happy Dominion Day. I do not use the enemy’s language.
Rhetorical question of course.
“Silence peasants,we will tell you what you shall think.”
School boards are full of self satisfied nitwits,who love to push children around.
These are our “Intellectual superiors” ..Or so they keep telling us.
Public Education has been a glorious “success” when such rise to control.
People with lives?
They don’t go there.
People need to stop voting for the candidate with the name that sounds “nice” on the school board ballot. I check out each one. The first thing to check is whether the candidate lists pronouns and eliminate any that do. Then check out any policy positions on the ones that are left.
As for municipal, I was in Farkus’ corner until I found he is another Land Acknowledger idiot.
Oh, and have a great Dominion Day!
I was pro-Farkas too, despite him being as gay as Nenshi the Hutt. Which tells you how terrible things are in Calgary such that he was ever in the running.
But sure enough, he was always a hardcore socialist who only pretended he wasn’t. Until recently.
Had a conversation with a 24 year old pitiful young woman from a northern Saskatchewan reservation in the hospital a few days ago. She was in because she had been drunk, fell, fractured ribs and smashed in teeth! She says her life is an open book and she didn’t hold back. She has a son. Her mother was recently in jail…again. She had a job stocking shelves for awhile and sobered to keep the job. She expressed the improved self esteem she felt during this time. But…she relapsed into drinking again which she blamed on a boy friend and lost the job. It was like therapy just to talk to strangers.
What a tragedy the “reserve” system has been. “Property Rights” should have been granted to the aboriginal peoples just like everyone else.
There is evidence that these people might possibly not have been the “first”, in North America. However…a side from that discussion the whole idea of “first” is untenable.
If in anyway legitimate the claims to “rights” because of the “first” claims, and then what follows is largesse be$towed on the “first” people by everyone else. Why wouldn’t it then be legitimate for us to establish who came 2nd, 3rd, 4th…and so on. And largesse then be dolled out on a diminishing scale to the different ethnic peoples of Canada.
The last to arrive receive no benefits whatsoever, but still be wealth producers…and taxed to death.
Obviously unworkable.
The Indian Affairs budget in 1982 was equivalent to $24,000.00 per native person! This precious young woman’s story is not unique. A typical example of what “welfare” does to people. It destroys their self worth and ambition and ability to create wealth.
Generations of these people and our country are suffering from this ill conceived “special status” bestowed upon them. Just because they might dispute this doesn’t mean it’s not true.
There are examples of men who escaped that system and own property’s and business and pulled their families out of the reservations is proof that private property is the path to fulfilment and wealth, not to mention happiness.
The never ending grievance peddling only benefits the leaders. The system has metastasized to condemn those other parts of the body to despair.
Shame on those who protect and perpetuate the corrupt system that has destroyed so many lives.
I would like to acknowledge that the Waterloo Region District Schoolboard is comprised of useful idiots of the neo-feudal nobility attempting to rule over all reserve and non reserve and non indigenous serfs effectively extinguishing all Canadian federal and subsidiary governance.
There is neither truth nor reconciliation in virtue signaling.
First Nations, reconcile this; you now have:
– housing
– pick up trucks
– electricity
– TVs
– steel knives
– fire arms for hunting
– etc.
You’re Welcome.
You are of course, free to return to a more “traditional” life style; walking, using stone tools, living in animal skin tents, etc.
Whenever anybody brings up “cultural appropriation”, my immediate response is that I agree, & we should strip everything from the Indians that came from whitey. They shut up immediately.
If you have beef with the British crown, take a number and line up. Do like the rest of us and STFU while waiting in line. The hard truth in our history is that the Iroquoi threw their lot in with the British leading to the current state of affairs. Teaty rights means they sold off the land they claimed as theirs for eternal welfare. Which is destroying them. Are we done with this shit?
A good book to read about the “History” of what became Western Canada is Lawrence Burpee’s book, “The Search For the Western Sea”. He wrote it in 1908.
This is a good book outlining what the world was like, back in the day. I’ve set the link to page 146, where at the bottom of the page starts the story of “Bloody Falls” (located in Nunavut) got its name. This took place during Samuel Hearne’s exploration of the Coppermine River.
Reason number 4922 that school boards should be eliminated, as they no longer serve any useful purpose in the modern age.
Land acknowledgements need to be abandoned. It’s a fraud and bad virtue signalling.
It gives the ignorant FN, whites and immigrants, the thought that Indigenous have explicit rights to treaty land. They have the right to use it, but they ceded all ownership on above and below to the crown when they signed the treaties (on the prairies). They have no claim of ownership of resources, a say in pipelines, nothing.
Guilty white liberals with other people’s money think they do though.
Actual Treaty 8 Text:
“the said Indians DO HEREBY CEDE, RELEASE, SURRENDER AND YIELD UP to the Government of the Dominion of Canada, for Her Majesty the Queen and Her successors for ever, all their rights, titles and privileges whatsoever, to the lands included within the following limits,”
