Canada is now so 'woke' even planes and trains are making 'land acknowledgements' to honor native tribes
UK Daily Mail ^ | 11/03/2025 | Rachel Bowman

Furious passengers have blasted Canada's national airline and train company for displaying land acknowledgments.

A land acknowledgement is an increasingly common practice that recognizes an area as the traditional homeland of indigenous peoples.

One traveler who recently used both Air Canada and Via Rail, the country's taxpayer-funded train operator, shared images of the signage on social media.

Air Canada's display, written in French, read: 'Air Canada recognizes the ancestral and traditional indigenous territories it overflies.'

Written in English, the train's sign stated: 'Via Rail acknowledges the ancestral and traditional indigenous territories on which our trains operate.'

The posts sparked a frenzy online, with many travelers rushing to social media to share outrage over the signage, with several passengers claiming the companies have gone woke.

'This is state-sponsored insanity,' one person wrote. 'The woke overseers of Canada are such an embarrassment,' added another.

'Today we're announcing that we feel so Guilty we're giving Canada back to the First Nations,' wrote a third person.

A fourth person quipped, 'Should be a land acknowledgment for the dinosaurs.'

Some felt that the acknowledgment was unnecessary and ineffective at addressing any problems between Canada and its indigenous population.

'This used to be yours, but now it's mine, b*****s! Basically the same right?' one person wrote.

'Have any of these "land acknowledgments" ever made a difference in the FN’s quality of life? Still no clean drinking water, the highest incarceration rates, addiction and despair on reserves. So it’s all just performative with these land acknowledgments,' another added.

'These need to stop. Draw a line, deal with any straggling issues, leave the past behind, move forward,' a third wrote.

Check with homeowners in Richmond BC on this crap. Every time some idiotic organization starts up with this land acknowlegement garbage they are laying themselves open for an economic disaster.

“History is full of strong people taking from weak people.

That will never change.”

Exactly!

You only own that which you are willing AND able to defend by whatever means at your disposal!

Quite often, though, the most able to defend what they own lack the will.

Such is the case today with the white race. We’ve guilting ourselves into voluntarily giving up everything we achieved and fought for.

We lack the will to defend ourselves.

Just when I think I’ve reached the point, where I can’t be any more ashamed and embarrassed to be Canadian than I already am, that hole suddenly gets dug down a little bit deeper, yet.

(sigh)

Don't worry if the land owners won't give it up voluntarily, the government is there to steal your land and give it to the Indians...
Richmond property owners worried after First Nations land claim
By Amy Judd
Global News
October 20, 2025

A letter from the City of Richmond sent to a group of 150 property owners is raising alarm bells in the city.

The notice follows a groundbreaking B.C. Supreme Court decisions on a First Nations land claim.

The ruling gives the Cowichan Nation title to 7.5 square kilometres of land in South Richmond, including city and port lands, farms, golf courses and commercial properties.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie is now warning property owners that the case could compromise the validity of their ownership and he has invited them to an information session later this month.

The Musqueam Indian Band has also joined the City of Richmond and the B.C. government in appealing the case.

“So the question is … will anybody want to ever buy a property that is affected?” Brodie said.

Richmond is in the Vancouver metro area...

The Cowichan Nation is trying grab the 7.5 square kilometres, but the Musqueam Indian Band is fighting them. Injun fight!!

And now the World Series and the Cup drought. I have been to Alberta four times and enjoyed it. They are more like Montanans.

It's time for the western and northern provinces and territories to secede from Canada and become US states!

I wonder if the Indians (from India) will feel guilty after they takeover Canada.

“And on a more serious note, I wonder if Carney will follow Starmer, and start arresting people who dare to mock the government.”


They absolutely are. with the following bills pending in Parliament.

Bill C-8: Lets the federal government order telecom providers to cut off internet access for “any specified person” — no warrant, no court oversight, just ministerial discretion.

Bill C-63: Redefines “hate speech” and gives bureaucrats and tribunals power to punish or de-platform Canadians for subjective online expression.

Bill C-9: Expands hate-crime laws and symbol bans, blurring the line between illegal acts and unapproved opinions.

Also likely to criminalize “denial” of the residential Schools “Genocide”. Even though not a single body has been found.


President Trump. Please Annex us and depose this gov’t.

I don’t care if we are a non-voting territory like Puerto Rico or American Samoa

They are neither “native” nor “indigenous.”

Their ancestors were from Asia.

Seems like "New India" is in Canada while "New Pakistan" is in the UK.

Did the same native tribes occupy these same lands, or did they war with each other and different tribes occupied them at different times, like in the other parts of the Americas?

Wooly Mammoths are not the only ones offended by being ignored. Their offended contemporaries include the Giant Beaver (Castoroides ohioensis, Bear-sized rodent), the Steppe bison, the Short-faced bear, the Woolly rhino (Coelodonta antiquitatis), ground sloths (e.g., Megalonyx), the stag-moose (Cervalces scotti), the scimitar cats (Homotherium), horses (Equus spp.), and CAMELS (e.g., Camelops).
