The Calls Are Coming From Inside The House (Bumped)
IMPORTANT CORRECTION🚨
CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE DID NOT BEGIN WITH LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT…🚨 THIS IS FALSE NEWS…🚨
CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE INVITED 🏳️⚧️ GENDERWANG 🏳️⚧️ IDEOLOGUE WHO BEGAN WITH LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT…
Pleasing your enemies does not turn them into friends: The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies”.
Canada’s largest Conservative networking conference begins with a pathetic land acknowledgement, declaring Ottawa to be the “never surrendered homeland of the Anishinàbe Algonquin Nation.”

Left Coast, Lost Cause
It appeared to be a timely bit of good news in BC’s glacial 35-year modern treaty talks, when David Eby’s NDP government introduced two new treaties for provincial approval in April, with a third expected to follow shortly.
That moment of apparent progress came as Eby was forced into a series of humiliating back-downs on his efforts to rein in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and its threat to upset the legal basis of British Columbia’s existence. The political leadership of BC’s 203 indigenous communities simply vetoed Eby’s proposed changes and deferrals, raising the question of whether the province has lost its authority to govern.
Treaties hammered out over decades with the K’omoks First Nation on Vancouver Island and the Kitselas First Nation on the northwest coast were tabled in the BC legislature for ratification, with a third treaty for the Kitsumkalem First Nation in the northwest expected to follow. The protests began even before they were introduced.
Left Coast, Lost Cause
On 24 October 2019, B.C.’s left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP) government enacted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), requiring the government to take “all necessary measures” to ensure its laws are consistent with UNDRIP. British Columbia thereby became the first jurisdiction on the planet that not only endorsed UNDRIP in the abstract (as Trudeau and other national leaders had done) but actually cemented its guarantees into law. In 2021, the province added a further legislative amendment explicitly requiring that “every Act and regulation must be construed as being consistent with UNDRIP.”
Behind the scenes, then-Premier John Horgan and his cabinet were assuring legislators that the law would simply ensure that B.C. took advice and guidance from Indigenous groups. But as judges (predictably) concluded, that’s absolutely not what the law says.

One day a Canadian Prime Minister will stand up in Parliament to say, “Wasn’t us who stole your land”.
Her name is Bernadette Anderson, and she drops truth bombs about First Nation chiefs, the Indian Act and a century of corruption.

Truth And Reconciliation
Shovel Ready Projects
My advice: if at all possible, shovel and shut up. Most of Canada has ancient indigenous graves all over it if you know where to look. I’m personally aware of an unmarked grave in the same spot where an old Indian campsite used to be in my neighborhood.
A couple say they’re on the hook for hundreds of thousands dollars after Indigenous ancestral remains were found on their property in Wainfleet, Ont.
“They learned that burial site investigation is hefty work. One quote estimated 27 days, a crew of six, 100 square meters of dirt sifted through screens, and local indigenous oversight. The total: $319,000.”

Are you ready for a referendum now, British Columbians?

Quileute- No Bodies, No Accountability
To this day, not a single grave has been discovered at any of the GPR-identified locations in Kamloops; nor at any of the other Residential-School sites where similar GPR surveys were conducted.
If It Weren’t For Fake Hate
There’d be no hate at all.
On Tuesday, the president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, Frank Star Comes Out, made headlines by claiming that four members of his tribe were unlawfully detained by ICE and calling for their immediate release. He also claimed that the federal government tried to force him to “enter into an immigration agreement with ICE.”
To coin a phrase, “That’s not entirely accurate.”
Mr. Star Comes Out apparently felt that Native Americans were being left out of all the victimization of oppressed minorities in Minnesota and decided to shoulder his way onto the stage.
Democrats and the media leapt at the story that Native Americans, “Americans” before anyone else got here, were being rounded up by evil ICE and thrown into a detention camp.
The only problem with this juicy news item was that it wasn’t true.
ICE never even encountered any Ogala Sioux and never asked for an immigration agreement. The tribe only gave ICE the first names of the supposed detainees. It’s not unreasonable to speculate that the entire “incident” was a publicity stunt, a set-up from the start.
“ICE did NOT ask the tribe for any kind of agreement; we have simply asked for basic information on the individuals, such as names and date of birth, so that we can run a proper check to provide them with the facts,” Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said.
Who Kinew?
Can someone please explain to me why the massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach is being commemorated as an example of *Islamophobia* at the Manitoba Legislature?

Money For Nothing
The sheer magnitude of this taxpayer largess boggles the mind. And yet many reserves are without potable water. My guess is that most of the money is going to lawyers and “consultants”. It’s long past the point where this needs to stop, but a population browbeaten by the residential school mythology seems tragically incapable of raising any objections.
When the Liberals first took power in 2015, their own estimates showed that total federal government spending on what they deemed “Indigenous priorities” was about $11 billion. Within 10 years, this had nearly tripled. By 2024, internal Department of Finance estimates were showing that planned “investments in Indigenous Priorities” were set to hit $32 billion.
Put another way, it would take Manitoba’s entire annual economic activity just to cover the increase in federal Indigenous spending since 2014.
National Disunity
While some aboriginal communities welcome the prospect of roads and mines in the so-called Ring of Fire zone in Ontario, some clearly don’t. They prefer to live in a “pristine” wilderness that for some reason is not pristine enough to provide clean drinking water for thirty years.
The province has released a Ring of Fire ad that uses Ford’s slogan from the 2025 election: “Protect Ontario” and makes a sales pitch on development. “What about protect Neskantaga?” Marcus Moonias says. “I’m so mad about it.”
“I almost threw my television at the wall,” he says about the commercial.
Bigger dreams are starting to enter Mamakwa’s mind. He thinks one day a First Nation political party could hold the balance of power in Ottawa, like a Bloc Québécois of the north.
Follow The Money
BC MLA Dallas Brodie is one brave woman for putting together a critical examination of the residential school issue. My opinion: we’re in the grip of another mass formation that has been building since the early 1990s. It’s time to put a stop to this before we experience the Zimbabwe solution in real time.
Protection Racket
Well, that response took all of about ten minutes to develop. Maybe fifty percent unemployment across the country would change their attitude, but I’m not too confident about that.
Assembly of First Nations chiefs voted unanimously on Tuesday to demand the withdrawal of a new pipeline deal between Canada and Alberta, while expressing full support for First Nations on the British Columbia coast that strongly oppose the initiative.
The resolution also urges Canada, Alberta and B.C. to recognize the climate emergency and uphold the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Protection Racket
Hardly a week has passed since the memorandum of understanding with Alberta, and already the Libs are laying the groundwork for endless “unavoidable” delays. At this rate, I don’t know why Guilbeault found it necessary to quit caucus at all.
On his way into a cabinet meeting Tuesday morning, the former minister of Crown-Indigenous relations told reporters he sees a difficult road ahead for any pipeline project.
“If everyone thought Thursday was difficult, that was probably the easiest day in the life of that pipeline,” Miller said.
Sovereign Money Pit
What’s not to love about a sovereign wealth fund where others are forced to pony up the seed capital? It also helps to imagine that such a fund could not possibly make anything but the wisest investments.
Chief Joe Miskokomon said the fund would be a “critical step” forward in bolstering the economic capacity of First Nations.
“We’re not saying to take out the banks,” Miskokomon said in an interview.
“What we’re saying is the banks don’t need to have as much as a say as they do.”
Cultural Misappropriation
Members of the Commons heritage committee are demanding an inventory of 132 works that vanished from a $14.4 million federal Indigenous Art Collection, largest of its kind in Canada. Conservative MP Rachael Thomas (Lethbridge, Alta.) said mismanagement by the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations was “despicable.”
