Joe Biden, who took office in January, announced nation-wide recovery measures to combat the effects of the pandemic on the USA's economy. One of his specific plan, was to give money to small businesses most hurt by the pandemic, under one condition; the owner of said business must not have white skin. This is an extremely concerning news, as this is a plan pushed forward politically that would create a lot of animosity. This is blocked by two courts right now; https://www.wsj.com/articles/stopping-racial-bias-in-covid-relief-11622421892 This is something we saw Democrats do as well in Oakland, where the people -except those who have white skin- who make less than $US 59,000, are eligible to receive $US 500 a month. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/23/oakland-california-universal-basic-income-program Just remember the Democrats really hate White people, and they would risk a civil war if they could hurt them to favor them electorally.

Straw dogs are worshipped in another culture, as if they are divine. But they are only made of straw. So at the end of the festival, they are torn down, trampled upon, lit on fire and dragged through the streets. So this was a metaphor for the poor state of politics in Canada. 3. Yes

I do agree more or less about judging our past transgressions, but there are a few other points that concern me, one this entire system was not ended until 1980, that is not so long ago, and I'm sure we did not just discover compassion, human rights, or todays moral values... Second the Catholic church does not have a stellar reputation when it comes to the treatment of children, infact they were in the media every second day in reference to abuses of children be it sexual or physical even towards white Canadians, let alone native children, another point that is known but is it recorded in history or even taught... At the very most after an investigation is completed maybe it should be new policy that the church can never be placed in charge or around children again, this incident is just the straw that broke the camels back.. The disrespect of the dead here is disheartening, even poopers graves were given a a marker and records kept for future reference, and not notifying the parents is just another slap in the face, like there was a deep hatred of these people, and it was expected to treat them this way... keep in mind things don't change until 1980.. which puts a lot of things into perspective... And while I'm not a big fan of the current way we treat Native Americans, because of treaties dating back 300 years, ceded or unceded lands, i don't think any of those policies have done anyone any good, they may of worked back in the day, but today, we should be moving forward, with everyone being treated the same..as a Canadian, nothing more nothing less, all being treated the same...not a nation with in a nation either for natives or Quebecor's or any other special interest groups we give special treatment to... This nation was built upon a lot of morals and values that still ring true today, but we are also finding out that maybe our ancestors were not the gods we paint them out to be.. That things like racism, greed, quest for power were driving factors to building the nation, shit Justin has made a living apologizing for past transgressions makes it clear we are not clearly the a nation above the rest as we think we are, but we do have our warts, big warts.... I think all the benefits first nations get today, is because we as a nation feel guilty, or obligated by some 300 year old treaty. we need to move forward at some point.

Stop excusing unconstitutional and discriminatory policy.

the disruption you are experiencing now is a dislocation from the modern world this is an epoch, the onset of the Information Age the Cold War was in a fact a frozen conflict, the final days of the Second World War frozen in time for forty years this kept us in the Modern World & Industrial Age but upon the end of that conflict, we were suddenly cast into this Postmodern World & Information Age so it is destabilizing Canada, because Canada was not built to take this sort of pounding

Numbers dropped to under 700 and they have been creeping up this week. Giving the "Doctors" reason to say that we can't open up early as this "spike" is due to Victoria day. I'm really questioning if these people can math. Positivity rate is now under 3% and active cases are under 10,000.

don't forget, just because you elect a representative to the Westminster Parliament doesn't mean you have any say that Member of Parliament doesn't even take an oath to serve you that Member of Parliament takes an oath to serve Her Majesty what Her Majesty's will might be, is decided entirely by the Prime Minister, from his office, as an effective dictator theoretically the MP's keep in check, by an honour system, but that system is not functioning here anymore

As Dougie pointed out, there's nothing new here. And it's just a matter of time before the old bureaucratic idea of 'public' comes crashing down

This is true. Dofo is gun shy about a fourth wave. But keeping barring businesses from inperson shopping for months on end province-wide is criminal.

this is not uncharted at all this is how all governance in Canada has been for as long as anyone can remember the pandemic has just made it slightly more obvious

my Canadian uncle fought in that battle, or rather flew in that battle, as a helicopter pilot he was turned down by the RCAF, so he went to America and joined the US Army 1st Cavalry Division ( Airmobile ) at the Ia Drang Valley, Landing Zone X-Ray & Landing Zone Albany, 1965 the lament 'Sgt. MacKenize' however, is about Charles Stuart MacKenzie of the Seaforth Highlanders in the Great War

I can understand your POV, and I admire the fact that you're willing to look at our own situation instead of jumping directly to whataboutism as an excuse for our past transgressions. However, we are human, and in order to judge our predecessors fairly we need to compare ourselves to the whole spectrum of human behaviour in the past. We also need to judge people from the past by comparing them to their contemporaries, and the people from their own recent and distant past, not by comparing them to people who grew up in a world which in no way resembles the one that they grew up in. What went on pre-1492 was far crazier than what we did to the natives in Canada, by a lot. The standard prior to that was steal everything that you can, enslave as many people as you can, steal their women, and it's shitty to even say it, but throwing babies from the castle walls isn't a myth. Humans are as shitty, or shittier, than any animal out there (but TBH, throwing babies off of the walls isn't unique to humans. If a male lion takes over a pride and he gets a chance to kill the cubs of the dominant male before them, they will). I can promise you that if Mohammed's own army came here that man would have converted literally every buck here to islam, and the ones who refused would have their heads chopped off and their wives and children would be slaves. That's the actual backdrop that you need to compare Canada's settlers with. It was nothing like 2019 Cabbagetown where little Johnny, Kwame, Isoruku, Hakim and Geronimo grew up together, oblivious to racism. This society is like this because CANADIANS (our ancestors) MADE IT THIS WAY and for no other reason. No one forced us to treat other people like equals. We had the power to be worse than we are and it was our ancestors who dragged civilization from the dark ages to exactly where we are today. It is 100% legitimate to compare Canadians to what other cultures did when they were in positions of power and there's literally no other comparison worth making. Look at all of the lakefront in BC's lower mainland. FN people own most of it, they can hunt and fish without quotas while other Canadians sometimes aren't allowed to do either at any point during the year, or just seasonally - with quotas. They don't pay property taxes, and if they live on res sometimes they don't even pay income tax. They get more medical and dental benefits than the rest of the country. They get free university. It's not a bad gig. Can you find me a place anywhere else on earth where the minorities get those kinds of benefits over and above the majority culture? Don't kid yourself, it doesn't exist. Just completely disregard the morons here who will diss Canadian culture at every turn. Everyone has an elevator speech about the greatness of their own religion, their culture, their people, blah, blah, blah, but almost all of them will jump right to calling you a bigot if you discuss their history, because the facts are not on their side. No other culture would have been this good to FN people if they got here first, period. We were still shitty by today's standards, but those are standards which we created and which no other culture has ever lived up to.

Your right and I'm one of them, this topic was not taught in public schools when i was there nor is it taught today. How many Canadians would have even known to look up the topic and learn about our back history, not very many. But ignorance is not an excuse one that I am guilty off. Personally i don't care about what other countries have done, I'm concerned with what this nation has done in the names of each one of it's citizens... It has a long history of making terrible decisions this one being an example. I'm not one of those woke people who have a history of whinny and complaining about our past history, but one has to admit this example has crossed the line. Our government took it upon itself to educate these people for some reason unknown to me and with that decision would come the responsibility that these children would receive the same level of care that they would receive with their parents, and with the number of graves it would indicate they did not... Sure back in the day, life was one big hardship.. But it was up to the government to ensure their safety... Another point of contention is they were buried in unmarked graves, like the family cat, thrown in a hole and left, they did not contact family as to their son or daughters condition, infact the family would not hear anything about them until they returned as teenagers...the Government used the excuse it cost to much money, but they had enough money to send someone to ro8und up all these children, they paid the schools funds to teach and feed these children , but none to send a body back to be buried with dignity. shit they could bury a soldier in Flanders field in WWI with a cross and ID, but a child does not rate, sorry to hard to swallow.... It may not have been mass murder, but really who would have questioned one of these Childs death... I think with just these 215 graves and any future graves found, the federal government should dig each child up determine cause of death even if it is just for historical record, and each of the remains returned to their families or put in the cemetery in their home town. Survivors should be offered a cash payout, one much larger than Omar the terrorists... And Canada as a nation should step up and own this part of it's history. I could not fathom someone coming to my house and demanding my child, taking them forcefully...and then treat them no better than the family cat, in life or death.. Sorry, but not without a gun fight, and i'm sure everyone feels the same way. If we should atone for any of our nations sins this is one... What pisses me off about this whole thing is we as a nation have taken great pride to tell the world how good we are, How our morals and values were at a much higher standard, and now it is all bullshit...We are like any other nation, with skeletons in our closets. It pisses me off that i was vaguely aware but was to lazy to educate myself on the topic, along with millions of others, that and for the most part our country kept this a secret....Sorry for the rant.. but when it comes down to children anyone's children they should be at the very least treated like one of our own, and not discarded like the family cat..

The current restrictions are complete overkill. If you haven’t been vaccinated and you’re vulnerable medically, stay home. Open the businesses, end the travel restrictions on Canadians, open the schools. If you’re scared, stay home except to access essential services.

They're filled with righteous indignation, their eyes burning with the fiery rage of the converted religious zealot. Now they have something to thrust their arm in the arm and wave aloft as they scream at us all, denouncing any and all who dare to quibble or disagree. Blasphemy! Heresy! Evil! There is no tolerance for explanation or doubt, for nuance or context. Bow before them and show your SHAME at being a part of this evil country which committed GENOCIDE on the poor, innocent, angelic native people whose land you stole, COLONIST! Spit on your ancestors and denounce them or be denounced yourself! Same sort of mindset as China's cultural revolution, from the same weak-minded people.

I have to put all this shit in context for literally everyone I talk to. That's because our news likes to trick people into assuming that these were from murders. 1) The school opened in 1890. 40 years before penicillin was discovered. 2) A lot of Canadians, even in modern cities like Mtl and Tor, were still dying from things like smallpox, TB and the flu at that time 3) The Spanish flu hit in 1919 and there are mass graves all over North America from that time period. My guess is that this is what the mass grave was from. It would have been hard to get dead bodies shipped around the country back in 1919 because travel wasn't quick and easy, and they didn't have hermetically sealed containers for shipping dead, diseased bodies around. I don't know what the cause is, but I find it disheartening that all of the usual suspects are gleeful about the prospect of assuming the worst and slandering everyone that they can while this remains a mystery. Some people just suck. Whatever.

I'm not politically correct. And that's not going to fucking change. I'm sick of the shrill, whiny people of all races and colors, of all genders and gender preferences and sexual orientations all fucking bitching and whining and complaining about how hard they've got it. Fuck off, the lot of you! You're living in just about the least racist/sexist/homophobic country in the least racist/sexist/homophobic part of the world in the least racist/sexist/homophobic time in history and all you can do is fucking whine about it. Endlessly! The media can fuck right off with their desperate need to keep foisting their progressive indignation in my face and digging up every argument or incident between someone white and someone else. You think I don't know you're ignoring all the other ones? I'm not as dumb as you guys are. Black people. I'm sick of seeing you all over my TV because woke networks and advertisers think they're insulating themselves from accusations of racism and virtue signalling to the rest of us. They never show natives or Indians or Hispanics or anyone else. Just Black people because they're in fashion this year. Fuck off! BLM is bullshit. You don't want to get shot by police, don't be a criminal, don't resist arrest, do as you're told when the poorly trained man with the gun points it at you and screams orders. And by the way, it would help if you finished high school and didn't get pregnant until you were married or at least in a long term relationship. Also, get a job. It would help you, and it would help society. Natives. Listen, there are a billion people, maybe two, who would give their left nut to come and live here. They don't speak the language. They don't even use the same alphabet. It's fucking cold here compared to where they live. But they'll come to improve their lives. You guys want to sit in the bush and whine about the lost glories of your hunter/gatherer tribes when you used to live to 30, by all means do so. Don't expect me to feel sorry for you. Get your ass somewhere there's jobs and take one. The world does not owe you a living into perpetuity. Women. What the fuck do you have to complain about? Seriously! You're living in paradise for women. You can do anything you damn well want, and if some guy so much as looks at you twice you can complain to HR. Can't get a man? Maybe put down the donuts and exercise a little. And by the way, if all a guy has to do to get into your pants is swipe right on Twitter that's all you're going to get from him. Maybe keep your legs closed a little longer and try to set up some kind of actual relationship? Maybe that would be good? Maybe you girls could hold a meeting about that. In the meantime you can fuck right off about your complaints about 'toxic masculinity'. Transgenders. Get a bloody psychiatrist. There's something fucked in your skull. And no, I'm not going to use some weird made-up pronoun because you think that makes you 'whole. If you want to be a woman cut your dick off. Not gonna do that? Then you're not a woman. End of story. And no, you can't play football with the girls. I realize that's the only way you can be successful at a physical contest but if you can't compete with men then stop trying. Muslims. A lot of your beliefs are not compatible with living in a sophisticated society. If you insist on holding to them I would suggest you go live in the shithole you came from, where such views are considered acceptable. No, I'm not going to respect them. No, I'm not going to respect you. Especially since some of your beliefs say you should kill me. I'm not that bloody tolerant. You came here because life was better here. Life is better here because we don't pay attention to dumbass religious shit. And that's not changing. Welcome to 2021. Let's hope it has less whining from all the drama queens and pathetic, sniveling activists and race hustlers.

this is literally a recruiting poster of the British Army now this is how insane Britannia has become now this is the abomination which passes for "Soldiers of the Crown" now the soldier who appears in the photo to the right, actually resigned in protest
