Canada's 150th birthday approaches, and it has been accompanied by a growing whinging from natives, a whinging which is frankly offensive and derogatory, and more than a little racist. Yesterday they demanded to be allowed to put up a tipi on parliament hill, and of course, the Trudeau government caved. Calling us 'settlers' and 'colonists' they continue to insist that no one has any rights to the land here but them. And of course, the hand-wringing, spineless progressives all bow down before them, wracked by guilt and self-loathing. Which is all total garbage. Let's start with what the natives and their moronic progressive allies continually look back on as the garden of eden prior to Columbus. Well, it was no garden of eden. Most of the natives in our part of the Americans were hunter/gatherers, while others had basic agrarian lives. They were hard, grasping, hand-to-mouth lives which ended quickly (and in 20% of the case by violence). The average lifespan was no more than 35. During those short lifespans they spent virtually all their time and efforts trying to feed themselves. There had been no scientific progress or advances in 1000 years. In fact, scientists say the natives were less healthy just prior to the arrival of Europeans, than their distant ancestors had been. And there were no trainable animals in all the Americans which could be used to help with farming or transportation. As you can imagine, trying to farm with horses and oxen is back breaking work. But trying to farm without them is far worse. And if the Europeans had never arrived, life here would still be the same way. So natives should be thanking the Europeans for arriving and pulling them out of endless eons of short, miserable lives of hardship and starvation. http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/teepee-erected-on-parliament-hill-was-for-ceremony-not-protest-says-grassroots-group http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=5991

This jerk does not speak for me. http://globalnews.ca/news/3567893/justin-trudeau-jealous-immigrants-ctv-interview/

You forgot the best part: day and night cycles before the creation of the sun or planet...

The irony, of course, is that you can be called a racist for saying that...

Spot on...the anti-Trump snowflakes don't understand this very well. Apologizing is the last thing Trump supporters want him to do. Trump was elected to blow the whole thing up, and that includes the news media.

Apparently a Navajo Indian tribe in Arizona are quite glad and happy that Trump, as one of his promises too them, is going to help keep open a coal mine operation up and running. By doing so this mine will help save thousands of jobs and give the Indians some extra revenue for their community. Aren't you happy for those Indians?

The Liberal gov'ts Ontario have allready given them a huge swath of land including Algonquin Pk. and Ottawa, which they say, is just the beginning. Time to end apartheid reservations and do away with the Indian Act. We are ALL equals, no more race based preferential treatment. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/algonquin-ontario-land-claim-whiteduck-1.3810559

The honest answer is that Trump doesn't need any apologists. He's capable of apologizing himself...or not as the case may be. That's why he was elected.

Trudeau visited with the activists and met with some of them inside the tipi. How interesting that he pointed out to them that he is the first PM to visit with activists who are doing something like this. Now we know the real reason he showed up to talk to them. Not to discuss the issues but to stroke himself. This guy is so full of himself and such a hypocrite. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/06/30/justin-trudeau-visits-indigenous-activists-in-teepee-on-parliament-hill.html Does he not realize other groups are watching his actions here and will demand the same attention when they decide to squat somewhere.

I'm seeing the rewriting of history in favor of fantasy over reality. Renaming things that were never indigenous with indigenous names....etc. Propagating fake stories involving massacres of natives that never occurred...that sort of thing. History be damned...we have feels.

Living in the Greater Toronto Area, my exposure to FN is quite limited. Our Premiere likes to remind us we live on the Land of the Mississaugans though. Mississauga is now known more for East Indians than the FN kind of Indians. But in the media, a lot of the "outrage" of the treatment of the FN comes from more recent attempts to eliminate their culture than the initial colonizing efforts. See Residential Schools. I remember a protest year's back where FN leaders wanted an audience with ER2 because the treaties their people signed years back was with the UK and not this federation of Canada. Regardless the plight of FN people can actually be ignored by many Canadians that live in actual populated and relevant parts of the country. Multiculturalism and integration of new cultures is the more pressing cultural norm for Canadians, not worrying about our ancestors taking land from Hunter/Gatherers 400 years ago. People who think this land actually is their property have a fringe extreme opinion that is not shared by any significant percentage of the public. What I do find weird about the government's treatment of the FN is that they kind of want it both ways. Living a lifestyle in remote regions that don't really promote an environmentally friendly approach but telling everyone else that living in dense cities is more the way to go. Why should governments support people that want to live in areas that are only reachable by plane? The carbon footprint of such people must be massive!

Ok its over. I did it. I walked into the buildings with nanothermites and blew everyone up. Go home now.

They played this at almost double speed to fit it into a TV time slot but It is the only live video I could find.

Time left Syria standing at the bus stop with newspapers flipping by in the breeze. Should have signed that sweet Camp David Accords....billions a year...every year.

Clearly...that's what I've seen in the music business though. At certain types of shows, a brigade of women would be in the wings waiting for this or that. You could set your watch... And not just the male *stars*...certain female performers were well known for their "partying" post concert. I doubt sensible Muslim (et al) girls like you and your sister would even be at such a decadent event as a heavy metal concert...so I can see how this would be a new idea to you.

President Trump has 33,000,000 followers....not bad for an "old man": https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

You just wait...he'll hit the gym and buff-up...then you beach bullies will pay for kicking sand in his face...lol.

Damn right they do...far more important than anything creepy Trudeau would say or do.

Kenya.

@Omni

CBC was great once. CBC Radio...a treasure. Now state controlled pretty much sums 'er up.

Funding is control...more funding to worry about President Trump cancon style.

Facts can hurt that way...not sorry. Don't preach to me about Trump's words when your state funded and controlled broadcaster (CBC) protected a sexual predator for years.

Yes...I am always on board for First Amendment speech rights. I don't live in socialist Canada.

We deal with the facts around here, not what you'd like to believe little fella.

Stupid won the presidency...."smart" lost.

President Trump can get more attention with one tweet than lightweight Trudeau can get with an entire speech, because far fewer people care about anything that Trudeau has to say. Even when creepy Trudeau assaults male and female members of Parliament, his actions are quickly forgotten, because he doesn't matter as much inside or outside of Canada. Impeachment any day now....right ? Keep waiting...waiting....waiting...like health care in Canada !

Because he can....Twitter is American, as are Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Canadians use these social media apps all the time....just like Trump. Trump matters more than Trudeau...always will.

That's not what she actually said though. Do I have to do it to you again? Full quote: "The President in no way form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence." See the first two words there... The President. You've sucker-punched yourself in the face again Omni, by simply not reading carefully.

Wrong....your own foreign minister knows the score, as does the rest of the world. President Trump is far more important on the world stage than lightweight Justin Trudeau, "because it matters so much" (to Canada).

The rest of the world knows that Trump's America is far more important than Trudeau's Canada. Freeland said so....

Agreed....this is a very good thing for Americans too.

They can go pretty low....JFK said of PM John Diefenbaker, “I don't want to see that boring son-of-a-bitch again". President Nixon called PM Pierre Trudeau an "asshole".

Don't worry...you couldn't. There are none. Sharia is Islam and Islam is Sharia.
