Dig, Treaty People, Dig!

It’s quite ironic, really. While no one could be bothered to dig up an alleged murder scene in Kamloops,  Lytton, BC homeowners wanting to rebuild after the wildfire need to wait until all the ancient pottery is exhumed. Not only that, but they have to foot the bill.

Village Mayor Denise O’Connor — whose own house was destroyed in the June 2021 wildfire — said homeowners are getting individual quotes for archeological work that range from $26,000 to $48,000 to much higher, making the work prohibitive.

The archeological digs are made necessary by the village’s location on a historic Indigenous site, as per B.C.’s Heritage Conservation Act (HCA).

Blacklock’s- Defending 400% Rail Subsidy

A 400 percent passenger subsidy at one of Canada’s few Indigenous-run railways is still cheaper than flying, says a federal audit. The Québec line could not run without taxpayers’ aid and will require more subsidies in the future, wrote auditors.

“Federal funding for passenger rail services in remote communities is essential to ensure individuals from these communities can access the ground transportation network and essential medical services,” said the Evaluation Of The Remote Passenger Rail Program.

Globe and Mail- Ottawa heads to court to fight class-action lawsuit over unsafe drinking water on First Nations

Three years after Ottawa settled two class-action lawsuits over unsafe drinking water on First Nations for $8-billion, government lawyers will appear in Federal Court this week to fight a third class action that could add another $1-billion to the government’s ballooning First Nations water bill.

Orange Flame Day

Via Jonathan Kay: This deserves to be in the first paragraph of Justin Trudeau’s political obituary. He went all in on the 215-bodies social panic so that he could take maudlin teddy-bear selfies and win an election. His defining disgrace.

Hymie Rubenstein- National Day for Truth and Reconciliation delegitimizes truth. So do attempts to criminalize “residential school denialism”

Today is Canada’s “National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,” a statutory holiday in many parts of the country.

A growing cohort of informed Canadians will see this day as one of countless federal government virtue signaling-cum-propaganda efforts meant to obscure, deny, or hide the truth about our country’s interaction with its indigenous people, notably the role played in this interaction by the Indian Residential Schools, a noble albeit flawed and occasionally harmful effort to help Canada’s first settlers adapt to the challenges of a rapidly modernizing country, an effort the historical record shows indigenous people and their leaders strongly embraced.

Geoffrey Moyse- British Columbia could disappear under a sea of Aboriginal title

Below is the sixth of several outstanding opinion pieces about indigenous land claim issues in British Columbia that will be posted without a paywall over the next few weeks.

All are written by Geoffrey S. Moyse, K.C., a retired senior lawyer who served as legal counsel to the Province of B.C., advising six successive governments on aboriginal law matters over more than 30 years.

His writings rebut the current NDP provincial government’s indigenous land ownership and use policies.

Blacklock’s- Confirm Hundreds Of Arsons

Cabinet confirms hundreds of church burnings nationwide with a sharp rise in arson attacks following claims that skeletal remains were discovered at an Indian Residential School in Kamloops, B.C. Data were drawn from police reports compiled by Statistics Canada.

The Inquiry counted 423 police-reported incidents at places of worship since 2015, the year the Truth and Reconciliation Commission published a report claiming 4,100 children died at Indian Residential Schools. Arson attacks prior to the 2015 report averaged as few as 13 a year.

There Goes The Narrative

There Goes The Narrative We Are All Treaty People 14 Comments

FCPP;

In Positive Stories of Indian Residential Schools Must Also be Heard, Rubenstein and McCrae critically examine the current portrayal of the residential school system, which is often overwhelmingly negative. The authors argue that this narrative fails to acknowledge the positive experiences of many former students and the genuine intentions of those who worked within the system. While not dismissing the testimonies of abuse, the report emphasizes that these accounts do not represent the full spectrum of experiences at the schools.

The Reification of Net Zero

Canada’s Bolsheviks Climate Cult We Are All Treaty People 19 Comments

By the time farms are forced to go net zero, their net income statements will have beat them to that number anyway.

The University of Manitoba is getting $7.6 million in federal funds to study net-zero farming systems.

U of M researcher Martin Entz, best known for his work on organics, is the project lead.

“This is a huge amount of money. It’s certainly the largest grant that I’ve ever been involved in,” he said.

The team is also engaging with industry partners including Keystone Agricultural Producers, the National Farmers Union and Ducks Unlimited Canada to learn about sustainable agriculture initiatives…

 

Red Man Speak With Forked Tongue

I disagree.

This is extraordinary. The indigenous cultural competency course at @LawSocietyofBC contains debunked references to the discovery of “the bodies of 215 children.” Two lawyers have proposed to correct the false information. But[BC First Nations Justice Council] claims that correcting the record is tantamount to “denialism.” The BCFNJC also repeats the long-debunked three-year-old fable that “mass graves” are being discovered across Canada. A complete lie.

It’s not extraordinary.

The peddling of Canada’s Indigenous mass grave and genocide libels’

… focusing solely on the recent history of both the genocide and mass grave allegations neglects their historical roots and impact, namely that what could be called an Aboriginal-style blood libel was promoted, perhaps even invented, by a Christian minister decades earlier.

The fabricator is a still active propagandist named Kevin Annett, a defrocked United Church of Canada cleric who began peddling poisonous snake oil by the bucketful to gullible Indigenous and non-Indigenous people 30 years ago.

Blacklock’s- Adler Appointment Not Final

Broadcaster Charles Adler has not yet met legal requirements to become a Senator, authorities confirmed yesterday.

“An appointment to the Senate is made by summons from the Governor General under the Great Seal of Canada effective from the date of the writ of summons,” said Alison Korn, spokesperson for the Senate. The required legal notice typically takes two weeks from the issue of a news release.

Spokesperson Korn also confirmed under Senate Procedure And Practice no appointee may take a Senate seat without first signing the roll and taking an oath of allegiance to the King. “Yes, that is correct,” she said.

Both legal requirements must occur in person on a day when the Senate is in session. The Senate is currently on summer recess. It is scheduled to return Tuesday, September 17.
