Indigenous leader: Before you and your braves cross the big water in your shiny silver bird, here is ancient saying: Money talks, nobody walks. Pony up, baby.
headline claims that “indigenous people” said something. Then article mentions an organization said something. Why does the media always find people or organizations to act as mouthpieces for demographic categories as if everyone in that category were subservient to what the media’s chosen represtitives said? This bs has harmed our culture long enough. Individuals are individuals.
I spent some serious time in northern Canada working on a mining survey ... part of the time I was in an Inuit village. IIRC, the locals were getting welfare from the Canadian government, welfare from the Provincial government, and royalties from the mining company. The village was squalid; drunkenness, drug addiction, sexual abuse, and VD were rampant. It’s the only place I’ve seen dishes of “free” condoms in just about every public place, and a supply of the (again, “free”) in my “hotel” room.
Bergoglio has no money. The money he controls came from and belongs to We the Faithful ... and he’s a bloody poor steward of it.
They may have stood a better chance against the invaders had they progressed technically beyond fire and chipped rocks when they had the chance
Get off your fat lazy child abusing asses and stop effing crying about what happened 200 years ago
DING DING DING.
Let’s just say for illustration purposes they could prove 10,000 “native” students died in Catholic schools over 150 years (they can’t). My guess 9,000 of them would have died on the reservations if they had not been placed in the schools. I’ve been on dozens of Canadian reservations and they were not nice places—even in 1968 and 1969.
The Catholic church was only trying to help the “natives”. They likely made some mistakes, maybe even a few cases of abuse, but there was no intentional systemic abuse.
Having said that, I was on one reservation about 50 miles west of that very Ermineskin school and learned a Catholic priest with red hair lived among the Indians of Hobbema. Curiously, there was a spurt of mixed Indian children with red hair born on that reservation. Hmmm...
They just got a new pinata.
Hope this marxist virtue signaler hypocrite gets whacked good.
There's few people I detest more than this buffoon.
There are no indigenous Canadians. Only those whose ancestors got there first. Or those whose ancestors wiped out those who got there first. Lather, rinse, repeat.
“Maybe he’ll send some Wine
Maybe he’ll build them a casino.
We Minnesotans are being forced to rename lakes, etc. as Aboriginal grunts (e.g. Lake Calhoun to something pronounced 'bidet', Bde Maka Ska).
We are the descendants of the people that conquered a continent?
I have mixed feelings about them. I guess they’re a lot like the blacks. There are those who stick to the victimology and contribute nothing, but rather drain, a civilized society. Then there are those who join in with the rest of us and work hard and actually get annoyed with those who make them look bad.
They ran the drugs for the high school and wore the most expensive of basketball fan gear available.
The adults were abusive to Whites and could they drink!
Alcohol a huge problem with the natives up here.
Now, having said what I’ve said, I have to be fair. My son bought a property a few years ago that borders the reserve in this area. It’s very rural, so there are only a couple of neighbors within walking distance. These neighbors are native and they’re the best neighbors you could get. They are helpful, kind, and my son hangs out with them a lot now. They have worked and own some heavy equipment and have helped my son out with projects numerous times. Honestly, they’re better than any neighbors I’ve ever had!
Wonder when the Canadians are going to pay reparations to my Irish kinfolk they starved and let freeze to death ?After the English emptied the Irish orphanages and they were all shipped to Canada My family moved from Canada the survivors moved to Michigan in 1847 .
