Sun- Indigenous spending nears $32B, but results still lacking
Ottawa has invested approximately $200 billion since 2015 in Indigenous priorities including education, housing, child welfare, water infrastructure, and more. Yet despite this decade-long investment, persistent gaps remain — and the public has few clear answers on how these funds are making a measurable difference.

Douglas Murray- Who really built this country?
Anyone who has visited Canada or Australia in recent years might have noticed an interesting new tradition. This is the trend for issuing a ‘land acknowledgement’ at the start of any public event. Before discussion gets under way, some bureaucrat or other will get up and note that we are all fortunate enough to be on the land of X, and then garble the name of some not-especially-ancient tribe. The moment gives everyone a feeling of deep meaning and naturally achieves nothing.
Why Would They Turn Off The Comments?
Nothing says “togetherness and understanding” like a one way conversation.
Raise Your Shovel For Canada Day
Jonathan Kay’s annual Canada Day reminder that Trudeau & his govt “celebrated” Canada Day 2021 by peddling the lie that the “remains” of 215 dead children had been dug out of a field in BC.
I realize that there is a polite, unstated social contract in Canadian political circles that says we should all just pretend the 2021 unmarked graves social panic never happened. We should all just forget about it. It’s rude to bring it up. Erase it from your mind. I refuse to do that.

National Post- She objected to land acknowledgments. Now she’s paying the price for her heresy
“In my view, the Board’s imposition of a land acknowledgment during our school council meetings undermines the democratic process and constitutes a form of compelled speech, which I believe contravenes the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. There is no school board policy mandating its inclusion. In my opinion, the sentiments implied by the land acknowledgment, are political in nature, highly controversial, and therefore divisive and inappropriate within a government institution. And I respectfully request that my objection be noted in the minutes of this meeting.”

Grifter Avalanche
About the last thing Canada needs right now is more of these kinds of movements. Keep it up and it’s the economy that’s going to look like a rock falling off a mountain.
Kataquapit said First Nations youth are “starting a movement” to protect their cultures and lands from what they see as increasing encroachment by governments looking to build major projects in a hurry.
He compared both pieces of legislation to a rock falling off a mountain.
“You don’t know how much momentum it’s going to build,” he said. ”It might cause a mudslide and turn into something like an avalanche.

Just send the referendum to the printers already.
In mid-May, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would support “just doing one pipe,” but only if there was “consensus.”
When he was asked this week in Saskatoon about whether his vision for “nation-building projects” included an oil pipeline, he said that any such project would need to be filled with “decarbonized” barrels of oil — a term that seemed to confuse environmentalists and oil advocates alike.”

“Given that all First Nations have distinct legal traditions, cultures, histories and languages, the First Nations’ representatives explained from their perspective that federal, provincial and territorial governments should recognize the needs of First Nation justice systems are distinct from one nation to another,”

As if any projects like these would ever get greenlit.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, seeking to reduce Canada’s economic ties to the United States, on Monday met the heads of the 10 provinces as part of a push to slash the time needed to approve mining and energy projects.
Several Indigenous groups – who have a major say over natural resource development on their lands – say they will oppose any attempt to trim the approval process if it infringes on their rights.
What Else Is New?
Now that the Ontario government has conceded the moral high ground to the enemies of progress, one can expect these critical projects to flounder endlessly. If any protests arise, don’t expect any bank accounts to get frozen either.
Road, rail and mine blockades could be on the horizon, First Nations leaders said Monday, as they ratchet up pressure on the Ontario government to kill a proposed bill that seeks to speed up large mining projects in the north.
Provincial ministers, meanwhile, said they heard the outcry and will make improvements to Bill 5, but stopped short of suggesting they would eliminate it outright.

Ahh yes, the tyranny of nice.

From the beginning, there were two parallel education systems for Native children in the American West: government-funded and church-sponsored. There still are. But several such institutions remain extant and even flourish in Montana and the Dakotas and Oklahoma and beyond.

The deadline was not met.
