No One Reads ANYTHING Anymore…

2025 Federal Election Little Known Facts We Are All Treaty People 36 Comments

With the talk of secession since Monday it is of course inevitable that everyone is going want to have a say. What is also inevitable is that many of the opinions expressed will be ill informed.

You would think with treaty acknowledgements being in vogue that there would also be an effort to teach what is written in the treaties, but there isn’t. So let’s do it here.

Please take the time to read a few treaties in their entirety as they also list what First Nations receive in exchange for the peaceful surrender of territory; you see there are no limits on education or healthcare. Also remember that while seemingly well intentioned, the government of Canada did not serve the First Nations well.  In some cases the provinces were even worse.

Another very interesting treaty is the Jay Treaty of 1794 that permits indigenous people to move freely across North America, living, working or going to school where they chose with all the rights of their chosen country, state or province, with the exception of voting rights which are reserved solely for citizens.

Sinking Funds

If these goofs would bother to examine the history Port Nelson, it failed as a port because the river silted in almost as fast as it could be dredged. Even with dredging, ships could only dock at high tide. But there’s no limit to the futile experiments you can fund when taxpayers are on the hook.

Construction started but was marred by building challenges due to violent winter storms that beached supply ships and badly damaged the dredge used to deepen the waters around the port.

By 1918, the project was abandoned.

Lore sees using modern technology at Port Nelson including dredging or extending a floating wharf to overcome the challenges that stopped the project from proceeding more than a century ago.

CBC- Untangling Mark Carney’s father’s ties to Fort Smith, N.W.T., Indian day school

“A culturally retarded child in the context of the Northwest Territories is a child from a Native background who for various reasons has not been in regular attendance in school,” said Carney.

National Post- CBC unfairly attacks Carney’s father

But the attempt to smear the elder Carney backfired. What Carney’s writings and the interview provided actually suggests is that Robert Carney was a good man, genuinely concerned with both the education of Indigenous children and the maintenance of their cultural pride.

More evidence that the marginal consumer is tapped out and expensive food choices are off the menu.

Halifax-based Clearwater Seafoods announced Thursday plans to change its lobster operations, which will result in permanent and temporary job losses in Nova Scotia.

Lockeport Mayor Derek Amalfa said about half of the 145 people employed at the Pierce Fisheries plant in the town will lose their jobs…

The other question I have is how several Mi’kmaq communities raised their half of the $1 billion to buy this outfit. I somehow doubt that they just floated a bond in the equity markets.

In January 2021, Premium Brands Holdings Inc. partnered with seven Mi’kmaq communities — led by the Membertou First Nation in Cape Breton and Miawpukek First Nation in Newfoundland and Labrador — to finalize the purchase of Clearwater for a total investment of $1 billion.

National Post- Boy charged with murder in quadruple homicide on Saskatchewan First Nation

A 15-year-old boy is facing first-degree murder charges in the shooting deaths of four people on a First Nation in southern Saskatchewan.

Police say the boy and 18-year-old Darrius Racette were arrested Tuesday for the killings of two women and two men at a home on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation in early February.

And that’s why I’m stockpiling antibiotics and ammunition.

Last month, I received a tip from a nursing student at University of Alberta who’d been required to take a course called Indigenous Health in Canada. It’s a “worthwhile subject,” my correspondent (correctly) noted, “but it won’t surprise you to learn [that the course consists of] four months of self-flagellation led by a white woman. One of our assignments, worth 30 percent, is a land acknowledgement, and instructions include to ‘commit to concrete actions to disrupt settler colonialism’… This feels like a religious ritual to me.”

Canadian universities are now full of courses like this—which are supposed to teach students about Indigenous issues, but instead consist of little more than ideologically programmed call-and-response sessions. As I wrote on social media, this University of Alberta course offers a particularly appalling specimen of the genre, especially in regard to the instructor’s use of repetitive academic jargon, and the explicit blurring of boundaries between legitimate academic instruction and cultish struggle session.

Basically, we’ll pretend to be on Team Canada if you fork over enough protection money. After all, you want to avoid “conflict”, don’t you?

First Nations also need to be partners in protecting and growing the economy in the face of Trump’s potentially devastating tariffs, the leadership council stressed.

“There can’t be a ’Team Canada’ [approach] if you don’t have a strong contingent of First Nations leadership sitting at that table with you,” Casimer said.

To avoid conflict and to craft a unified response, First Nations must have a voice at the table when decisions are being made that affect their lands and resources, she said, noting the council hasn’t been approached to be part of the tariff strategy.

 

Racist!!!

The Tolerant Left We Are All Treaty People 20 Comments

These days, an elected official who engages in anything less than lockstep, verbatim repetition of the official narrative regarding residential schools, land acknowledgements and so, no matter how well explained and carefully considered their argument might be, is guaranteed to be branded a racist  or potentially removed from their post.

“Over the past 70 years it has transitioned to native, Aboriginal, First Nations, Indigenous,” Coffey said. “I find that reductive, and it dismisses the rich cultural diversity and unique identities within Indian communities.

Coffey also praised both the intentions and the outcomes of Canada’s former residential school system.

Who knew that a Canadian court would side with the rightful owners of a piece of property for once? I’m sure this will be denounced as a slap in the face to “reconciliation” but in the meantime it’s good to know that not everyone in authority desires a return to mob rule.

Court of King’s Bench Justice Sarah Inness granted the injunction Monday afternoon, ordering over a dozen people alleged to be participating in the blockade to stop preventing access to the roughly seven hectares of forest land owned by Tochal Development Group south of the Perimeter Highway.

About 50 people, including neighbouring residents and First Nations, gathered Monday morning in the camp, which was set up over the weekend. They’re demanding the city to step in and stop the developer from chopping down trees in what they say is sacred land that must be preserved.
