Chyna is coming. You might find yourself in a ditch with a bullet at the back of your head. Be careful what you wish for.
Delusional commies think they will kill whoever they want, but they will live through it. Life is not a video game. Commies kill commies. Learn history.
The Natives are the ones that have been legitimately wronged and treated like shit in this country. If anything they deserve a week or a month. Why do gay people get "pride month" but Native people don't get shit?
who treats Natives like shit? You can't even say anything remotely critical of Natives without being a social pariah.
If there's any group that's treated like shit these days, it's old stock Canadians.
I have had more than one instance of a First Nations person, a complete stranger who I don't even know call me names like 'filthy colonizer' for no reason. It happened twice in the same grocery store. Pretty racist right? But I guess I deserve it because I my skin is too light, and somehow I am the "racist." What a bunch of horse shit.
I would clarify my statement and say that as far as minorities would go, Natives are probably lowest on the totem pole as far as pandering goes (based on what they've dealt with), unless of course you include white people as a minority.
Political pandering ends up in the lobbyists and leaders getting rich and passing very little onto the band members themselves. The Feds spend over 8 billion a year on First Nations services and that doesn't include provincial and secondary programs. It all gets siphoned off by bureaucrats.
This will all go away in the next few decades. Old stock Canadians are declining demographically and it won't be long before they are a plurality in Canada rather than a majority. When that happens, expect the freedoms of Western Civ (as well as propping up special interest groups) to go the way of the dinosaur. Enjoy it while it lasts, it won't be here forever.
Did you know that in the Norman Conquest of 1066, many Anglo-Saxons were murdered and their land stolen and given to the new Norman lords? Should England sue France for reparations? This is just one example of land conquest that has happened and will continue to happen all over this planet. It was only a matter of time before a foreign group migrated to North America.
The reality is that the people living here before 1500 were extremely primitive. They hadn't invented the wheel or a robust system of writing, they were so far behind the civilizations everywhere else (including South America) that no matter which civilization came to North America first, they would inevitably lose the conflict (almost all land in history was taken by conquest), any group capable of sailing over the ocean at that time had a huge technological advantage.
Furthermore, they were doomed to have a massive culling due to disease, as they did not have farm animals like the civilizations in Europe and Asia, so smallpox immunity was basically 0. THIS is what caused the so-called 'genocide', a vulnerability to those diseases is what killed over 90% of the population in North AND South America, but I guess that's the white man's fault because the Age of Exploration pre-dates germ theory and modern medicine by centuries.
Since we have now established the reality of the situation, could you explain to me who would have done a better job colonizing America? Perhaps the Ottoman Empire or the Chinese?
You talk about morals, the truth is those morals CAME from Western Civilization, so you can thank your lucky stars that Canada was founded by Europeans and not another group, because the indigenous group would have been completely wiped out or assimilated into the new culture.
Finally, I think it's odd that in common parlance, we ignore or excuse the bad actions of people from non-western groups, yet we have nigh-utopian standards for Western Civilization. What, was a system of law and justice not good enough? Free speech (at least in the USA) and freedom of expression and movement? Lots of 'systemic racism' hey? The horror!
You can bitch about what happened in residential schools, but please don't do it without also calling out the centuries of abuse that have occurred across the world and continue to this day. I worked with this young lady from China, she is a Uighur and she told me that she is thankful every day for escaping that hellhole and she is praying that some day she can get the rest of her family out.

June 21 (Summer Solstice) National Indigenous Peoples Day. Only one day...
exactly gay pride doesn't need a month at all keep your sexual preferences to yourself
I agree. However, I can only care so much about the water treatment plants those people refuse to maintain.
