Stick A Lobster Fork In It…

Gradually Then Suddenly Great Moments In Socialism We Are All Treaty People 8 Comments

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.

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.

 

The New Aryans

When public discourse devolves into an obsession with blood and soil, things never turn out well.

The Supreme Court of Canada, in its 2016 Daniels decision, which declared that Metis persons were potentially entitled to unspecified rights traditionally granted only to Indian Act Indians and Inuits, gave its seal of approval to the application of Aryan race theory in Canada to the situation of Aboriginal peoples generally.

The Court wrote that if a person possesses “sufficient racial and social characteristics to be considered a “native person”, that individual will be regarded as an “Indian”.

The Court defined legal rights based on considerations of “mixed ancestry” and “Native hereditary basis”- race terms.

It even made an uncritical reference to “Indian blood”, as if it were a biological fact, when in fact it is scientifically nonsensical.

National Post- Serial rapist Halifax police warned people about two years ago gets out on statutory release

The 29-year-old is getting out of prison under the law that requires federal offenders who have served two-thirds of a fixed-length sentence be released to serve the remainder of their sentence in the community, under supervision.

“The board notes that the most recent psychological assessment indicates that your risk for sexual recidivism is moderate to high,” said his recent parole decision.

Revisionist History

There Goes The Narrative We Are All Treaty People 27 Comments

All my life I’ve had doubts about the notion that the white man killed all the buffalo.

Some wildlife groups state the professional buffalo hunters decimated the bison. However, simple math may prove otherwise. Holt explains that a study by Dr. William Temple Hornaday, 1889, reveals records of animals shot and hides traded show the number of animals killed has never exceeded the natural increase. “Estimates show bison numbers of around 65 million. Every year hundreds of thousands of buffalo were harvested. If they were fossils or statues and you took hundreds of thousands from 21 to 88 million every year, then in 21 to 440 years you’d get rid of them all. But what do tens of millions of bison have every year? They have millions of calves,” Stoneberg Holt explains.

This led her to become very curious as to why bison numbers plummeted in the late 19th century when research shows professional hunters’ extermination of all buffalo was a myth with no factual basis. She discovered two candidates for a death-by-disease theory: Texas tick fever in the Montana area and anthrax in the Nebraska area.

Blacklock’s- Fake Claims “Very Common”

“The price tag for those who are fraudulently claiming Indigenous identity to engage in procurement is $2,610,800,000,” testified Semaganis. “That figure alone could have alleviated food insecurity in the North. It could have provided clean drinking water for every First Nation, Métis and Inuit who currently does not have clean drinking water. It could have alleviated child welfare problems across this country.”

The Westwood area of Winnipeg has long been considered a safe place to go about one’s business, since it is at the edge of the city as opposed to the crime-ridden downtown zone. Not any more, thanks to racially motivated “justice”. If you read up on this guy’s rap sheet in the article, it boggles the mind that he would be allowed anywhere other than prison.

A man shot and killed by Winnipeg police earlier this week was from Nunavut and is being remembered as a proud Inuk who craved connection and needed help to overcome his violent past.

Jordan Charlie, 24, was released from custody in Manitoba on Nov. 19 after he pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and three other related charges for incidents that happened this year, court recordings reviewed by CBC News reveal.

National Post- They call us ‘settlers’ because they’re planning to kick us out

…these people aren’t using metaphors. They truly see anyone who isn’t Indigenous as an active colonizer and criminal who doesn’t belong. The idea is steadily gaining currency in our schools, society and government, and it’s brutally playing out against Israel, where Hamas supporters euphorically envision forcing out all Jews (despite the Jews’ own indigeneity).
