Nope. OntariOWE and PAYbac will flood the trust fund adolescent punk back in.

you say that as if the Liberals losing didn't result in continued Liberal governance Harper is a prime example of you can't vote the bastards out, even when you vote them out, it's still more of the same the biggest difference between the major parties is simply the colors they rock would you like the Red Liberals or Blue Liberals today? such a variety of choice for people to choose between

My point was to illustrate that most of what was wrong about residential schools was due to the bad choices of individuals. Once Indigenous took control of residential schools the problems didn’t disappear. The idea of providing universal free education is a good one, including for Indigenous, though by today’s standards the old curriculum was biased in favour of the settler viewpoint. However, it was the settlers who provided public education and it reflected their values. Was it better to have that biased education than none at all? That’s the real question. Abuse is something that happened when bad individuals found the opportunity, and there was more opportunity in a boarding school than a day school. With regard to the stance taken against the Manitoba government on the steps of the legislature, it’s unfair and probably racist to denigrate settlers by saying that they were not trying to “build better” but instead were intentionally destroying native culture. Most of them probably were trying to make better lives for their families and communities and harboured no ill will against Indigenous. Not sure what’s radical about that idea. People are people. Genocide, if by that we mean the dictionary definition of the intentional killing of a people, did not take place. There was no systemic plan to abuse or kill indigenous. There’s no evidence of children being murdered in those graveyards. If we want reconciliation, there must be truth. We are getting very inflammatory and misleading media coverage on a lot these days and it’s important to try to bring realism to the discussion.

Yep. They conducted a super spreader event, all to undermine democracy in Texas.

No - that will be a climate-change hellhole. I'm thinking beachside, or at least a pool, in Nunavut. Hopefully the Liberals and Conservatives will have merged by then; I suggest the Lie-Serves Party. And Ontario+Quebec will finally have their victory.

1. 2. Ah, ok fair enough... I didn't consider that Coug and Myata might be lamenting that the two main parties are the same. 3. I got kudos for someone recently for saying they're the same but one party pretends to be caring and the other pretends to be pragmatic. 4. And yet, when have we not had a Liberal or Conservative government ? And is Canada not a success when ranked against the world ? And do people not want to come here ? I'll give you that it's not heaven on earth but utopian dreamers who complain that the golden land has never arrived as promised... they never seem to be able to describe how it would come about, and yet simultaneously seem to think how simple it would be for it to arrive. I'm a little guilty of that myself sometimes.

Pallister said nothing racist or radical in his remarks when he said that most immigrants wanted to build a better life. It’s true. His government’s Indigenous Affairs minister did much the same. Most people do the best they can with what they know. The residential schools had serious problems, but most of the people working in them thought that they were doing the right thing. Public education was provided free by the non-Indigenous and was widely seen as a social good. Most of the people staffing these schools did it as a vocation, taking vows of poverty and leading simple lives. Life was much harder for everyone a century ago. Abuses took place in most schools, albeit more so in residential ones. There is no evidence of murder, no genocide or systemic policy of abuse by the standards of that period. What that group on the steps of the Manitoba legislature is demonstrating is a racist attitude towards non-Indigenous people. This is what happens when a country creates special entitlements and status for select groups of people. I hope that the special status and benefits end and that the same rules of taxation apply to all Canadians.

1. Hahaha. You mean like when you said you always lose and I pointed out 3 Liberal losses in a row. Have a piece of cake, do some yoga and do something that makes you happy ok ? Seriously. 2. It rained yesterday.

The Club of those who think vs. those who don't you mean. How is this 50'C sunny day with no rain working out for you?

You and Myata should form your own Sad Eeyore Club... Everything sucks all the time with you. If it's a sunny day, that just means it's going to rain. Harper WAS the PM remember? The liberals lost three elections...

Bachelor/Master degrees in Economics . . . . Stephen Harper. Canada did well in the banking crisis. Then we have Trudeau . . . . nice hair, sparkle socks, and an adoring Cougar. Canada bankrupt. Cougar laughs.

Why?

Canada has pretty much now become a communist state. Chris Sky is a great Canadian patriot and look what communist Fidel Trudeau has done to this patriot. No one can honestly say today that Canada is pretty much on it's way to becoming a communist country. It's getting pretty sad and looking pretty bad out there for Canada. Just saying.

Liberalism is a serious mental illness and disease that needs to be eradicated now, especially here in Canada. Fidel Trudeau plans on bringing in another one million new third world immigrants into Canada in the next three years. The population of Canada about five years ago was around 35 million. Today, it is hovering close to 37 million and counting. There can be no doubt about it that this is a genocidal white depopulation plan by Marxist Fidel Trudeau to make the white people of Canada to become a minority in their own white homeland in this decade. Approx. 85% of the new immigrants coming to Canada are all coming from non-white countries. That says it all. It will be goodbye to good old whitey and his homeland. The new third world immigrants are told that they do not have to assimilate into our British/European white people's culture anymore. For instance, the East Indians and the Chinese can now pretty much live in British Columbia without ever having to deal in English anymore. They have everything they need to carry on in Canada like they did back home. Shocking indeed. ?

To some, natives are these quaint, cute sub-human people, like dolphins, say, or orcas, not really up to doing anything useful, but they really make for great pictures when they've got their feathers on and dance around fires. And that's how they should remain. Forever. Living museum pieces. To some, the idea they ought to be living in cities and wearing suits and ties and working as software engineers or teachers or store clerks like everyone else is anathema. No, no, no! What's of real importance is their retaining their 'culture' and unique identity! Conservatives want to get natives into the workforce as taxpayers. Liberals want to pat them on their heads, pinch their cheeks, and send them back to dance around the fire till the end of time.
