If the left believes that colonization had no good intentions then words like 'colonizer' and 'settler' are bigoted, racist insults. That changes nothing, because we all know that the Canadian left are the most racist bigots in the country.
Lol, imagine thinking today's immigrantion was done with good intentions 🤣
They literally invaded our land
Critical Race Theory is a far-left view of American black-white racial relations formed from two and a half centuries of plantation slavery. Most blacks in the USA are descendants of these slaves. It is an extreme view, but at least it is backed by history. Canada has no such history. Slavery was never legal in Canada. Almost all blacks are from families that immigrated recently. However, evil academics adopted CRT into Canada regardless. Shows you how shameless our academics are.
Eileen Clarke has resigned as Manitoba's Indigenous and northern relations minister after Premier Brian Pallister made comments last week that suggested the colonization of Canada was done with good intentions.
Good riddance to this hateful, anti-white bigot. Not only was the colonization done with good intentions, it improved the lives of aboriginals a hundred fold. Pre-contact life was continual warfare, hunger, and slavery in a stone-age society. However, all we hear from the media and academia is white man bad, red man victim. The left are hateful bigots creating a race war.
More proof that the most hateful, racist, and sexist group in Canada is the left. If you are Christian, white, male, conservative, a business person, or believe that hiring should be based on merit rather than prejudice, then the left is your enemy.
This is Trudeau's 'reconciliation': spending millions of taxpayer dollars to blame whites for all the problems of the aboriginals. Could their be any other outcome?
Thankfully, most countries are not as infected by the 'woke' brand of hate and racism as Canada is. Consider how the USA cares little about their residential schools, which were much more numerous than in Canada.
'Hate the foreigner' is an all-too-common tactic for incompetent governments. Korea uses it against Japan, Ireland against the UK, and black Africa against whites. It unites the population and distracts the electorate from real problems. But reaching back two centuries is extreme, even for dishonest politicians.
This claim, of course, will never work. Every country and people have the their moments of shameful past, so the international community will not support this. UK has been better than most. They were leaders in ending slavery world wide and deserve credit for that. Naturally, wokies will never give whites credit for anything. Further, the history of reparations has been dismal. It was part of the cause of WWII.
Meanwhile, only 34% of Canadians either agreed or strongly agreed that Canada was racist.
Canada is a racist country. The 'Employment Equity Act' is systemic racism against whites, discriminating against the white race in hiring and promotion. Anyone who supports this law is a racist and a sexist.
Racism breed counter racism. Either you believe all races should be treated the same or you are a racist. Our government is racist. This must stop.
Reparations for what? Life before contact was a hellish stone-age existence of constant war, slavery, and hunger. How about appreciation for democracy, rule of law, security, education, dependable food, modern medicine, dentistry, woven clothes, metal tools, consumer goods, and wealth that their ancestors could not imagine? There was lots of blood on the hands of aboriginal ancestors.
After tax breaks, scholarships, and $5.5 billion in payments this chief wants more. And they call whites 'greedy'.
In Canada, I expect to find fuel for bigoted leftists.
Reconciliation Liberal style. Hatred and bigotry is ok if it is directed to the 'enemy': Christians, Europeans, males, business men, or 'conservatives' - those who do not hate the founders of this country or who treat all races the same.
That will require... the dismissal of the Aboriginal victimhood industry.
Yes. The hateful left is creating a race war. What happened to our race-blind democracy where everyone is treated equally? For aboriginals it is 'blood and soil'.
Climate improvement is great news. History has shown that man thrives when the earth warms. Canada will benefit even more. Let's build a coal fired generator today.
The 'truth and reconciliation' commission is proof that Newspeak is now the norm. The commission backed lies, not truth. It blamed whites for murder of aboriginal women, when everyone knows that aboriginals are almost always the perpetrators. It advocated racial hatred, not reconciliation, with biased history that demonized whites and painting aboriginals as peaceful victims of white greed. Europeans gave aboriginals democracy, modern medicine, and wealth a stone-age people could not even imagine. We brought peace to tribes that were constantly at war. Thankfulness is in order. Residential Schools were not 'genocide', but an valent attempt to educate a primitive people and prepare them for the modern world. Yes, they were planned in a time different than today but in that day exterminating aboriginals was the norm.
These burnings are the natural consequence of years of hateful, racist propaganda. Leftists are trying to start a race war.
The head of UBC board of governors, Michael Korenberg, was forced to resign because he liked right-leaning comments on Twitter on his private time last year. I hope everyone on this forum is prepared to be charged under this law.
many settler children who died from starvation and disease
Yes. Judging past ages with today's standards is foolish. Life was brutal in the 1800s. Corporal punishment was considered necessary in schools. Death and hunger were present daily. Even later, thousands of whites starved during the great depression. I'll bet the dirty thirty was the worst time to be in a RS because if all kids are hungry, why would RS students be the exception?
outrage over these events is largely manufactured by media for political purposes.
Again, yes. Why does do people listen to this nonsense? It only causes anger and racial hatred. Why does the media and left want that? So they can 'save' us when things get really bad? The USA had a much bigger RS system, but hardly a peep over there.
We need a PM like you.
The city has not determined what it will cost to change the name... Arcand said when he hears people discuss their concerns around the price tag, it's concerning.
That's good governance: divisive propaganda regardless of the cost. And this is Saskatchewan, where not a single Liberal was elected.
Might I suggest 'Pol Pot Road' as the new name?
But don't worry about the new speech regulation laws, C-36. They will be applied equally to everyone. You can always trust the government and courts.
I, for one, am willing to destroy our economy to keep our winters longer and to keep Canada colder. You must worship my climate god or I shall denounce you as ignorant.
Lefties insist that aboriginals are inherently different that other races. So, only those with aboriginal blood can teach aboriginal content. Blood and soil. It's pure racism, but 'good' racism, according to the left. The left is the most racist group in Canada.
If anyone should be ashamed of the past it should be leftists. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, repression, poverty, and mass murder. Communism and socialism has a failure rate of 100%. Most mass graves are communist. Yet today leftists proudly proclaim that they follow these hellish schools while condemning Canada and Catholics for their efforts in the nearly-impossible job of teaching primitive people to thrive in a modern world. Leftists are hateful, racist hypocrites.
Yep. Life pre-contact was hellish: primitive conditions (with -40C winters), disease, hunger, slavery, and constant war. Leftists should read some history. Aboriginals of today have wealth and opportunities their ancestors could not imagine. Aboriginals should be celebrating European contact.
Yes. Leftist of the time created RS. Leftists of today condemn them but vow to repeat their mistakes of big government with authoritarian control. It would be comical if they didn't wield so much power.
How many have been arrested for the much-more expensive destruction of the statues of Ryerson, Queen Victoria, Q. Eliz., and Macdonald? Many of these were destroyed in front of police. Are we spending the same effort to track down the church burners?
'Equality' of the law in Canada, folks.
