Frances Widdowson had been a tenured associate professor at Mount Royal University: a leftist indoctrination facility in Calgary. Frances had been one of the few free thinkers in the department of economics, justice and policy studies since 2008. She has been fired for criticizing the terrorist identitarians who did over $2Bn in damage ravaging America in the name of 'social justice' in 2020, and for pointing out the fact that residential schools gave Indigenous children an education that "normally they wouldn't have received."
Anyone who says "residential schools gave Indigenous children an education that normally they wouldn't have received" is either deliberately choosing to ignore the damage the residential school system did, or has never spent time in an associated First Nations community.
A college professor who makes that choice or speaks publicly on a subject they know little about does not deserve their position.
I've spent over fifty years in an affected community. The damage is multi-generational and far outweighs any "good" that might have happened, like finding an undamaged photo in the ruins of a house fire.
Any stories of them taking Gaelic children from their families, failing to give them adequate nutrition and healthcare, having a surprising number of them pass away, and failing to notify their parents when they died?
The very concept that 'bad white man' "stole" the land from an assortment of indians is a stretch, to say the least.
Look at the data. Around the time that the euros (and even earlier the viking explorers) encountered the Red Indians they numbered around 700k, spread over a huge landmass that is north america. What is that....a 3% occupancy rate? (not including the Eskimos here)
As far as I know, the indians were found:
At stone age level. No established governments, no permanent infrastructure, economies, no written language, no plough, no mechanised farming. Was this their 'fault'? I don't know, they were essentially isolated once the ice bringe melted.
Constant warring and fighting and killing each other.
No established system of property governance, or legal claims via an established judicial system.
Still living in glorified tents, meanwhile hundreds of years earlier the romans had built this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome it still stands today.
Granted, the indians were good at building rope bridges, which the euros were leery of crossing. I may be wrong but I dont beleive there was much else.
If any of the above is inaccurate please let me know.
So how can a claim of 'land back' be levelled at people who encountered a land with an occupancy rate of at best, 5%?
Saying that, fine. If the indians really want the horrible caucasian man out of "their" land I have no problem of giving them back the entire landmass of Canada, on the provision that it would be very unfair of us to bugger off without removing all traces of our opression, lets restore the land to the original sacred untouched level so they can have it as we found it, and then they can do what they will with it.
Id imagine the removal of every last brick, power station, cell tower, and bolt of infrastructure that "we" mostly built (with the help of the chinese with the railway) would take many billions of dollars to achieve to get it back to basically grassland and praries, but hey, think of the unspoilt land just like it was when we first came upon you in furs and animal skins. It will be like old times again!
Oh also you dont get the horses. They were introduced by the spanish. Sorry!
All the millions you make on the casinos will at least offset the labour bill. You can even help out!
Jesus Christ, why are you here? It just seems like you’ve been swallowing Trudeau’s cock all month and are proud to come here and brag about it. If you had anything valuable to add to the conversation, that’s one thing. You just repeat propaganda and pretend it’s your opinion. Just another NPC. I ordered some blue pills for you (don’t worry, it’s not ivermectin).
I think that among the Russian and Chinese trolls, vandals, anti-social cellar-dwellers, and fear-crazed neurotics that provide most of the comments here there may be a few people who have wandered in inadvertently. I'm just providing some stuff from the real world for them.
