"The name Ottawa is derived from the Algonquin word “adawe”, which means “to trade”
Also, the people who lived in the area were called Odawa.
In both of those instances, you would stress the second syllable. So, Tucker's right, and the rest of us are wrong.
I got permabanned because I criticized our Muslim overlords, and worse, I got upvoted for it. One idiot decided to REEEE to the admins after, like, a whole day.
Talking to us like we're in kindergarten wasn't good enough. Now, he's going to read us bedtime stories. For fuck's sake...
LEL...O'Leary?

"That systemic racism had cut them off from the benefits of Canadian society and they had to resort to crimes. The worst the crimes they committed, the worse they had suffered systemic racism at the hands of the government and the RCMP."
Not entirely false. For example, did you know that rez property can't be used for private business unless the Band Council and Minister say so, and that every two years such business can be put in jeopardy by local elections; nevermind that the rug can be pulled out from you on a whim? The Indian Act IS systemic racism, and it keeps employment on reserve almost non-existent.
I read a lot into aboriginal street gangs in Winnipeg a while back. The Ballad of Danny Wolfe, a biography of the founder of Indian Posse, pretty much covers everything. It's partly youthful rebellion and taking on the world with your friends. Mostly, though, the kids who get caught up in gangs are the ones who have a single mom with a drug problem.
Mom can't feed them cuz she's feeding an addiction. So, the older kids are like, "Fuck. I gotta get diapers and food and shit." And this is when they're still in elementary school. So, they start hooking, running drugs, selling drugs, etc. It's not their fault, but, sadly, it is their responsibility. If they don't take care of their siblings, they'll be taken away to foster homes, and then they won't have their siblings or their mother.
The elephant in the room is literacy, though. They give you a pass if your role is seen as one of protecting and preserving muh community. Otherwise, you're an apple (red on the outside, white on the inside). It's the same as the blacks and their Uncle Tom slur. They can't see past "bad whitey" to "the English language is an advanced communication technology that drives nearly all human progress:.
Once you go black, you only go back if there's free shit?
So, am I getting this right? 0.003 x 0.06 = 0.0018, or 0.18% of confirmed COVID cases die of COVID and nothing else?
e: I haven't really tried to math for a while...please correct me if I'm wrong.

" It's time we end the corrupt reservation system and create a single fair and equal class of citizenship for all Canadians."
Somewhat off-topic, but I wonder how much of the shortfall in the PBO's projected mincome cost could come from slashing the budgets given to the Band offices on a per-person basis (money is going directly to band members), as well as (not just talking Aboriginal here) abolishing arts councils, the Ministry for the Status of Women (STATUS: They're all at or above the poverty line now!), federal and provincial sports/rec ministries, etc.
If Trudeau does announce mincome, I'd hope he least took inventory of shit we really don't need.
Rose McGowan didn't kill herself when?
A curse shall light upon the limbs of men.
Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Italy.
Blood and destruction shall be so in use,
And dreadful objects so familiar,
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quartered with the hands of war,
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds,
Jesus, is this a troll? There's 3 plumbers in my extended family. They're all pulling at least 70K. One of them hustled his ass from barely above min. wage to $100K/yr in less than a decade, and now runs his own company making much more than that.
Oh, so it's Carleton MuhNarrativeHeadUpMyAssology now?
Similar thing happened in Sudbury, I believe. A bunch of 'em went out in canoes, one of the canoes flipped. Hadn't occurred to them that wearing lifejackets or knowing how to swim were good ideas.
Wait, you can delete a reddit account now?
They say that the Aboriginals are generally uncooperative with police investigations. They say they don't trust Whitey because that's a more palatable response than, "If I say anything, my own kind (aboriginal street gangs, etc.) will kill me." They try to blame white men for MMIWG, but it's not white men running trap houses and brothels full of native women in the cities. Picton was the exception, not the rule.
Look at the Tina Fontaine case. 15-year-old holed up in a hotel by the foster system. She connects with her cousin, who happens to be the madam of a trap house her boyfriend is running. She gets into drugs and prostitution, and after a while, says she wants to get out. She's found in a bag in the river.
Don't remember exact timeline, but the next year, her cousin is doing interviews with the media about how she wants out, and she's executed and has her house burnt down.
But Tina died because white man bad.
