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.

“This is your captain speaking. We have encountered extreme turbulence. The engines aren’t working and one wing has been torn off. I acknowledge that we will be crash landing on the ancestral territory of Mi’kmaq (or Micmac) peoples.”

All this this is the elites taking more control over the people by establishing this cockamamie indigenous people crap....the human race has wandered the world FOREVER and whoever landed wherever took over...end of story..

when those two little kids went missing in Nova Scotia several months ago at the first press conference the first thing they said was some stinking acknowledgment of the "indigenous" land or something such crap..

I am done with it..black fatigue and this Indian narrative..

Make sure that the original indigenous people are returned to the land in their Stone Age original condition. No evil colonist technology allowed. No dentistry, antibiotics, wheels, steel, stirrups, etc etc.

In otherwords reminding the injuns;

“Hey injuns, you lost, we won. But we feel really bad about it so we will remind you again, we won, you lost.”

Canada’s Parliament is soon going to move out of Ottawa to a long lodge to be paid for by white Canadians.

They gave the Eskimos Nuvu-nut. It blocks the northwest sea passage and reaches toward Russia.

My, you certainly are articulate.

Are you an Eskimo? You can’t be Canadian, or you would know to post that in both French and English. (Or perhaps the language of Vancouver, Chinese.
