1. Don’t. Care.

   They voted for this. Give it to ’em good & hard.

   1. But those that didn’t vote for it are also getting it good and hard.

2. This is a good example of First Nation land stewardship and First Nation governance.

3. The Indian giveth complaints, whining, and blood libels and the Indian taketh away wealth unearned.

4. Cowichan create a filthy refuse dump. When confronted about it, just say it’s Whitey’s fault.

5. Some big numbers for the back of napkins.

6. Ah yes, the caretakers of our land.

7. Tribal, race-based, feudal, communism, the model worshipped by the humanities faculties, public sector unions, professional governing bodies, LPC/NDP/SCOC, UN, etc. The jewel on the Crown of Canadian apartheid, entirely funded without accountability by the taxpayers living everywhere but on such reserves (99% of the population) and in the process, using lawfare in becoming landlords and sole “legitimate” governance of all of Canada, thanks to Trudeau’s Charter, an activist SCOC, elected Jacobins, and Bolsheviks, all within a culture of suicidal empathy (institutionalized Land Acknowledgements).

8. Just more Chaos, just when more people come to ponder our collective plight , the Chaos creeps ever closer home.
   Almost like someone wrote the script.

9. Come on all you palefaces. That’s not a garbage dump, it’s a ‘midden’. An organic, historic, cultural indigenous relic. Bow down … get on your hands and knees … and carefully preserve every bone, stone, and clamshell, err … e-waste, and toxic chemical.

   Looks like the Canadian government needs to transfer more National wealth to this Tribe for a Superfund Cleanup. I’d estimate another $3.7 Billion over the next 10 years. Looks like tax increases will be needed, along with massive transfer payments from the productive center of the nation.

   Enjoy your decline.

10. This is a comment I put on the Real Indigenous Report regarding “The Truth is Buried under Sechelt’s unproven graves”:
    Indigenous nobility play the elected suicidal empaths like the useful idiots they are especially when one considers that brutally honest politicians are either unelectable or driven from electable parties for their honesty. A few decades back, a colleague and friend of mine in the forest industry was involved with a logging contractor on the BC coast who was barging an excavator past the home of a chief of a band that I will not name who flagged him down to ask a favor. The chief said that DFO had ordered them to install a sewage outlet line out to the ocean and would he dig it for them. Wanting to keep good relations with the band, he agreed and commenced digging. As he was getting close to the beach, he started uncovering human remains and immediately stopped digging. The chief told him that “they were just slaves and to keep digging” which he did. That’s a true story of buried indigenous human remains.

11. We The People request Indians assimilate
    rather than live in 19th century ghettos.

    Instead the Liberal party of Canada continues exchanging
    $millions of blankets and trinkets
    for lazy-ass, suicidal but willful idiotdom.

    They trade their heritage, and their pride, and their soul
    to a corrupt political party willing to commit extortion upon their own tax tax-payers
    to buy elections by pretending the proud red man is too lofty a culture
    to lower themselves to engage productively
    in a first world society.

    1. From an exchange I had downpage with David … an appropriate “Land Acknowledgement” for all North American “settlers”

       We acknowledge that we are gathered today on unceded territory, shaped by children of the Enlightenment, who through perseverance and sheer force of will carved farms from forest, and built schools where there were none. A land transformed through hard labour and an abiding faith in a Christian God.

       A place where heretofore there were no written words, no science, no hospital. A land of privation, affliction and untimely death. A land cultivated, defended, and passed down by generations of settlers who built, with patient hands, a world rooted in law, learning, and liberty. Who dared imagine roads, libraries, and universities, when there was nothing but scrub and rock and bush.

       We acknowledge that we are the inheritors and the beneficiaries of the slow, stubborn building of a civil society – a birthright that is our duty to nurture and defend. We acknowledge that we are gathered here today on unceded territory, the legacy of those who never surrendered what they built.

    2. “Instead the Liberal party of Canada continues exchanging $millions…. ”

       As would Pee-pee & Co.

12. I can never understand why the hundreds of billions paid above and beyond treaty obligations don’t count in settlements. $5 per year is a standard amount required in treaties. A typical amount paid to reserves is $30,000 per person. I think the government is a bit ahead in payments.

13. As per Wiki the population is,
    Population (2025)[1]
    On reserve 2659
    On other land 336
    Off reserve 2619
    Total population 5614

    1. So, over the last two completed years, if the money was handed directly to each and every individual in the tribe, it would be more than $16,000yr. Well, come on folks, it would be difficult to live on only that. Show some empathy. However, a family of two adults and 4 kids would be fairly comfortable.

14. Now do Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert and the noble tribes of Sask…

    But don’t forget, we live on Treaty XYZ and pay our respects to the original caretakers of this land as we work on reconciling our difficult history and relationship with these inspiring, wise, and majestic first “peoples”

    Boy, Canada is a failed state

    1. JustBins video reportage from north central Regina (the city which rhymes with fun) …

       This isn’t new, it looks like this every year, in spring time it’ll look much worse as the debris falls apart after being exposed to the prairie winter-spring thaw and the bright colors all fade in unison.
       Every year there is a community effort to clean up and everyone then congratulates themselves for being part of this good work.
       Until then though, it looks like this every year. Every year.
       There are a few urban First Nations reserves with the city of Regina limits, but it’s impossible to say where that border is from the video.

15. Shhhhhhh! Stay quiet, damn you!

    If this story gains momentum it’ll mean multi-billions of our dollars pissed away on a clean-up and lawsuits forever.

16. “Our home, on Native land..”

    1. Our home, on Native land stolen from other Natives.

17. Were is the car/pickup wrecking grave yard of stolen vehicles????????

18. Keep in mind this fact:

    “Cowichan Tribes, the largest single First Nation Band in British Columbia, has a membership that varies across different sources. The most recent figures indicate a total population of 5,614, with 2,659 members living on reserve, 336 on other land, and 2,619 off reserve.
    Other sources report membership numbers ranging from over 4,900
    to over 5,500
    , with one source citing 5,221 registered members as of June 2021.
    The discrepancy may reflect different reporting methods or timelines.”

    That’s a lot of wampum, more than treaty obligations. We are being conned by a small number of people that product next to nothing.

19. I guess we better make nice…they’ll be our new land barons.
    A documentary about Scotland I viewed the other day…over half the land in Scotland is owned by about 400 people. Umm… what?? Frankly, it jarred me a bit upon hearing it but I realized they’re in the U.K. so really, why am I surprised.
    Replace the word “individuals” with “tribes” and well, you get the picture.

20. “Our home, on Native land stolen from other Natives.”

    Yup. People tend to overlook that fact, don’t they?

    “Gentle stewards of nature” my ass. They were all nomadic because they didn’t master farming and animal husbandry, choosing instead to move into an area, *strip it bare* of all usable resources, then move on to another. If there was another tribe there already they would either drive them off (if they were stronger) or flee (if they were weaker). Woe unto anyone who was captured and taken prisoner…if you didn’t end up as a slave you would be *tortured to death* for the tribe’s amusement.

    We owe them little or nothing. They owe us everything.

    1. Didn’t the so called first nations wipe out all the large North American land mammals when they came from afar, settling and colonizing?

    2. But, but, but … only the gentle, kind, loving indigenous peoples were … “one with the land” … and knew how to make medicines from its plants … gently caring for those precious resources. Yeah … the contemporary school book narratives are pure garbage. As if ALL living humans … Europeans esp. … didn’t exploit what they found naturally? (psst … we found MORE … and PROCESSED the natural elements, including rocks and soil, to serve our use). Gawd … who writes that crap about the Injuns … And why? It’s a pure mind fkcu aimed at our children. It’s always about “teaching” the children … isn’t it? That’s all Nancy Pelosi spouted for 40 years. Yeah … think of the chilllllren … think of brainwashing the chilren.

21. Maybe there is a good use for fentanyl.

22. Helluva raise … nearly triple the income in 8 years.

    Wiki says there are 3800 of them. That works out to $24,900 per person, adult or child. Not too shabby a handout, considering they also do lots of fishing, tourism, wine making, and artisan stuff. And they live on a remote peninsula, so they’re not impacted by suburban sprawl and high taxes. Even if there are 6000 of them, and they have some kind of economy and personal income sources, they’re doing ok.

23. I thought it was all “stolen land”. That’s a lot of wampum!

    1. Not to worry … the Chieftans will tell us when they’re all paid up.

24. If the numbers are correct, this works out to roughly 10k per person per year.

    What would be interesting to know is the split between the chiefs and the indians. (See what I did there?)

25. Canada’s ‘Indigenous budget’ is 32 billion to cover 1.8 million native folks. On a per capita basis, that’s close to $18,000! At 10k per, these people are getting short-changed!!!

    I suspect the missing $8,000 is what goes to bureaucrats and lawyers.

26. According to ChatGPT, “In short: approximately 10-13 % of the overall federal budget goes to Indigenous-priority spending through the major Indigenous-facing departments.” That’s for 4.5% of the population.

27. Assimilate or starve. Shutter the entire Indian Affairs department and white guilt subsidies and programs. Practice your own “culture” on your own time and your own dime…..just like the rest of us do.
