I am disgusted by this 'reconciliation' program which does nothing but create racism and divide our country. Yes, Residential Schools oppose our current values, but they were made with good intentions and run by (mostly) devoted workers doing what they thought best. There is no evidence that the death rate in the schools was greater than the same demographic who did not attend at that time. We should acknowledge this history, both good and bad, then move on, rather than dwell on the often-fictional negatives. The USA had a few times more RS than Canada did but are not plagued by this leftist angst. Who benefits from this narrative of hate? Certainly not aboriginals.
So we have a duty to risk Canadian soldiers to rescue murderous traitors who joined a terrorist organization devoted to murder, slavery, rape, and genocide? Nope.
Potentially 2 billion dollars for virtue signaling. For this year. We will pay more next.
This burning was organized by the Liberal Party's co-president of the Indigenous Commission who apparently is a pretendian.
Books destroyed: the "Guardian of Knowledge" is not Indigenous. The co-president of the Indigenous Commission of the Liberal Party of Canada has no Indigenous ancestors going back seven generations.
The "Guardian of Knowledge" was also guarding a few secrets of her own. Suzy Kies, co-president of the Indigenous Commission of the Liberal Party of Canada does not posses legal status as an Indian, does not appear in the registers of Abanaki councils, and she has been found to have no Indigenous ancestors, at least as far back as the year 1780.
She who supported the Conseil scolaire catholique Providence in its controversial destruction of 5000 books judged to be detrimental to Indigenous people was at the same time denouncing whites who appropriate First Nations history. In an interview with Radio-Canada, Suzy Kies claimed to have a European parent and an Indigenous parent.
Asked to respond on Tuesday to the outcry over the initiative, Justin Trudeau criticised the choice to burn the books, but he added: "It's not for me, it's not for non-Indigenous people to tell Indigenous people how they should feel or how they should act in order to bring about reconciliation."
Thanx to reddit u/LegalPusher in unbiasedcanada.
It's all that Trudeau ever does. Worried about jobs leaving the country, or housing prices, or massive immigration, or the debt, or healthcare? Then vote elsewhere.
So aboriginal leaders and Trudeau want to increase racism and start a race war rather than fix the problems in the aboriginal community. Hate is the only solution they offer. How will that help the unemployment, alcoholism, criminal gangs, domestic violence, and poor parenting that is plaguing aboriginals?
In the USA, blacks commit ten times more violent crime than whites. Canadian police are forbidden to keep such statistics, but evidence suggests this rate is the same in Canada. So police are using far less force on black proportional to their criminality.
But we must display our 'wokeness' by manufacturing hatred against whites and condemning them for imaginary abuses.
But most workers are whites or males so Liberals have no interest in them.
The Liberal platform: identity Politics first and foremost. In fact, it's all they really care about. If you care about jobs, the debt, health care, pipelines, factories closing, housing prices, education, or corruption then vote for somebody else.
He see that Trudeau is using the same corrupt practics and divisive politics that have destroyed Afghanistan.
This comment did not age well.
They NDP do better in polls when 'free' stuff sounds good. At the box voters think about who pays. And whose jobs are to be sacrificed to placate the climate goddess.
Yes. They re-write history turning whites into villains and aboriginals into helpless, peaceful victims. White generosity and accomplishments are erased as are aboriginal violence and abuse. Black slavery is fabricated. In Newspeak, anti-white racism is 'anti-racism' and education of aboriginal is 'cultural genocide'.
I wish I could argue against that.
Trudeau is Teflon, nothing sticks to him. SNC-Lavilan, Aga Khan, We Charity, Khadr, blackface. He might get his majority. True story.
Ontario has become the center of our extreme left crazies. Hating a moderate like Macdonald? How racist must one be before that sounds like a good idea? These neo-Stalinists frighten me. They will come for you next.

How opportunistic! CPC is in disarray. O'Toole has failed to gain traction. Trudeau is using this election as a referendum on his profligacy. Want your Covid cheques to continue? Vote Liberal! Endless deficits have no consequences. Trust a Trudeau on this.
The funding being provided today to implement Impact of Race and Culture Assessments will help eliminate systemic barriers in our criminal justice system for Black and racialized Canadians by helping courts consider the impact of race and cultural heritage on a racialized offender's life trajectory during sentencing in criminal matters
IRCAs work on the premise that a person's race and cultural heritage are significant factors in considering a racialized offender's sentence in a criminal matter, since understanding how an offender has been disadvantaged in education, employment and other areas of society is key to making an appropriate sentencing decision
The Government of Canada understands that systemic racism can create disadvantages in education, employment, and other areas of life for Black and racialized Canadians, and is making investments to address systemic racism in the criminal justice system.
Similar to Gladue reports, which take into account the individual background and circumstances of an Indigenous accused, IRCAs inform sentencing judges of the disadvantages and systemic racism faced by Black and other racialized Canadians and may recommend alternatives to incarceration and/or culturally appropriate accountability measures within a sentence of incarceration
So we sentence people according to their political correctness. This is systemic racism. If black people are official 'morally disadvantaged', shouldn't this be considered for hiring too?
Latest news: the blip flattened out. Election call postponed.
Two years early call a snap election because of a blip in the polls. Politics as usual.
aka secretariat for blaming whites when aboriginals murder each other.
Yes it is. Almost all of these deaths were from plagues, which hit aboriginal children much harder than anyone else. They died at the same rate whether they attended a RS, a day school, or avoided school altogether. Tragic, but not the fault of RS.
I don't really want to defend RS. As you say, RS were yet another example of how government interference causes disasters. I just don't like the dishonesty and hate. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was so dishonest. With similar dishonesty, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women puts the blame on whites. These women are murdered by aboriginals or are kids fleeing aboriginal violence. Bands have done little to prevent this. Any honest report would state these facts.
