I'm not proposing solutions. I'm identifying criminal behaviour. Nobody has to support that 'or else'. It would really help if the anti-Semite Evangelical Christians would stop funding Israel's settlements. At the End Times, from the river to the sea, and then the second coming of the Messiah, all the Jews are killed or convert, and the Evangelicals get the Rapture. Fulfilment of the prophecy. So I guess we're back to the topic of white supremacists. Lol

Nonsense. Israel is a country with an extremist right-wing government committing crimes against Palestinians in order to push them off their land. I object to that. So does Netanyahu's Israeli opposition. So do many Jews outside of Israel. Netanyahu is trying to hide behind accusations of anti-Semitism. It isn't working.

Or he figured out that Faith Goldy is an anti-Semite.

That won't stop the US climate refugees. We'll be swamped.

The RCMP weren't very good at sorting out who were fascists. Hysteria was peaking. They should have been interning the Nazi-sympathizer British Orangemen.Oh wait ... that was the cops. <my bad> I think you mean your title to disparage Trudeau/political grandstanding, but that's not the way it reads. An Italian-Canadian may well see your title as an ethnic slur directed at all Italians. Your disgruntled attitude in your posts ... is that anti-Italian sentiment? Because that's how it reads.

For us without G&M subscription: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/justin-trudeau-apology-italian-canadians-wwii_ca_5d0443e3e4b0985c419dcc8d "It was a time when their patriotism was questioned and their lives thrown into chaos. During the Second World War, hundreds of Italian Canadians were interned,” said Trudeau. Italian-Canadians were suspected of being fascist supporters of Mussolini, while in fact, most were anti-Fascism, and came to Canada to escape the rising fascism in Europe. At the 'Christie Pits riot' in Toronto in 1933, six months after Hitler took power in Germany, Italian-Canadians and Jewish-Canadians fought together against Nazi sympathizers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christie_Pits_riot After the final out of the second game, Pit Gang members displayed a blanket with a large swastika painted on it. A number of Jewish boys and young men who had heard about the previous Swastika incident rushed the Swastika sign to destroy it, supporters of both sides (including Italians who supported the Jews) from the surrounding area joined in, and a fight started.[11] Toronto and much of Southern Ontario at that time (including police) was powered by British protestant Orangemen, who were the (fascist) ones on the side of the swastika-crew, fighting for hours in the street against the Italian and Jewish anti-fascists ... while the police just stood by. I did not know that some Italian-Canadians were "interned". Certainly that requires an apology. egghead, I would appreciate it if you would change your disparaging, ethnically-offensive thread title.

I'm not wrong about the history, but you're right about Impact-Benefit Agreements. They are an important development in the last 20+ years, following on the Constitution Act of 1982 and Supreme Court rulings in the 1990's and early 2000's Finally, First Nations can directly negotiate agreements with industries (eg, for changes to plans to preserve environments, sacred sites, etc., and also for jobs, revenues, infrastructure, etc.), and have those revenues deposited directly into their own accounts for use in their communities. (Instead of revenues disappearing into Federal General Revenues.) Only 130+ years late (and a lot of Indigenous revenues have 'disappeared' in that time) and not perfect (eg, too much delegation to industry), but a good development nonetheless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_to_consult_and_accommodate In Canada, the duty to consult and accommodate with Aboriginal peoples arises when the Crown contemplates actions or decisions that may affect an Aboriginal person's Aboriginal or Treaty rights.[1] This duty arises most often in the context of natural resource extraction such as mining, forestry, oil, and gas. ... The Crown constitutes both the Federal and Provincial governments.[7] Therefore, the level of government contemplating an action or decision has the responsibility to consult and accommodate. Although in many provinces it is industry proponents that consult with Aboriginal rights holders, the ultimate substantive duty to ensure proper consultation and accommodation lies with the Crown; while procedural aspects can be delegated to other levels of government or to industry proponents, the honour of the Crown itself can never be delegated.[8]

I did not say Indigenous Nations "control" their money. They don't. Canada assumes control of Indigenous revenues and uses them to support the rest of us (otherwise known as theft). Canada is great because I can rightly accuse Canada of theft ... and the police don't come to my door and haul me away ... yet. Lol

Repeating your lie, however many times, does not make it true. Canadians do not support Indigenous people. They support us: Revenues from business and industry on traditional Indigenous lands are received by Canada. A portion of that is allocated to First Nations budgets. The rest is used by Canada for Canadians. Indigenous people don't use our money. We use their money.

Repeating this lie, one or many times, does not make it true. Nobody's income tax money is necessary to fund Indigenous communities. Their funding comes out of their revenue shares from industrial and business operations on their traditional territories. The fact that Canada dumps all revenues into one General Revenues account, including Indigenous revenue shares, and takes all expenses/budget allocations out of that account, including First Nations budgets, is misleading, and very poor accounting.

Scribblet please read my response to Zeitgeist above re 'Indian' Trust Funds (embezzled) and current revenue streams (not released). To clarify ... Treaties and other legal agreements - made by Indigenous Nations for uses of their land from British colonization to today - would have been more than sufficient to maintain their communities, if they were allowed to access their own money. But they were not. And yet the their trust funds are depleted with no government accounting of where the money went. One example: A small city mayor once acknowledged that part of the city was built on land leased from an Indigenous Nation, but the lease amounts were never paid. He stated today's value of that money, and that debt alone was far more than the total amount that has been allocated to their community since Confederation. And that's only one unpaid debt of many owing to them that hasn't even been paid to their Trust Fund. Canada has 'misplaced' far more money from 'Indian' Trust Funds than it has ever allocated to support their communities. Instead of complaining about "taxpayers" money, ask your MP to tell you where the 'Indian' Trust Funds have gone since Confederation. That's how they intended to support themselves. Racists like Faith Goldy have a lot to do with the denigration, dismissal and dehumanization of Indigenous people. So do governments.

Again ... Indigenous Trust Funds are revenues from companies for resource extraction on their traditional lands, via treaties or other agreements, from British colonization to the present. At Confederation, Britain transferred the Trust Funds to Canada. Canada has never provided an accounting for those funds. Some Indigenous Nations are pursuing a full accounting for their Trust Fund monies. That will be interesting ... and not flattering to Canada. Stay tuned ... Such revenues continue to accrue and are the logical route to self-sufficiency for Indigenous communities. But their money is accessible only via mountains of paperwork and only if the Minister 'approves'. First Nations are greatly restricted in accessing their own capital to invest in businesses that can provide jobs and revenue to help make their communities self-sustaining, as addressed in this report: http://www.naedb-cndea.com/reports/recommendations-on-first-nations-access-to-indian-moneys.PDF Read the report.

In which province? Legal working age varies across the country, and sometimes with the type of job: https://www.legaljobs.ca/minimum-legal-age-of-employment-canada/ I assume that StatsCan used a median legal age of employment, but you could check their data desscriptions if you want to dispute that. Part-time work is pretty common for teenagers. It's also much more common nowfor people to support themselves on more than one part-time job. Also common for mothers with young children, retired people and others to work part-time.

Nonsense. The truth is as posted, and you wouldn't respond: Maintaining the lie that support for Indigenous people comes from Canadian taxpayers is a heinous, divisive and devious government strategy to sustain systemic racism against Indigenous Peoples, to cover up federal government embezzlement of Indigenous funds and to convince Canadians that the "final solution" to the Indigenous "problem" is to force them to fully assimilate, with intent to destroy them as Indigenous Nations. That systemic racism filters down through all public services, including policing. Of course, some people don't care about those financial realities of Canada since their denigration of Indigenous Peoples is just one aspect of their racism. White supremacists like Faith Goldy, for example, never change their racist tune due to new information, because their tune is purely about racism, not really about funding or any other excuses. They're just as likely to be out on street corners bleating against Muslims too. Lol

Colonialism.

And Australia too https://www.sbs.com.au/vanished/ Hmmm ... what could that common link be?

Rebate depends on Taxable income which is, on average, higher for "urban elites" than "rural folk", wouldn't you say? https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/2019/05/24/almost-everyone-who-is-eligible-97-per-cent-has-claimed-the-carbon-price-rebate-on-their-taxes-so-far-this-year.html

Unemployment stats are calculated in a consistent way to provide data that are comparable year-to-year, month-to-month, etc. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/190510/dq190510a-eng.htm Look in the yellow section at the bottom to see how terms (e.g.. parttime - fulltime) are defined so stats are comparable. Unemployment rates are the most accurate indicator, cleaned of all Canadians not seeking work: children under 15, seniors, students, disabled/unable to work, etc. The 'Employment' rate you cited is a less stable indicator as it's based on everyone15&over, whether seeking work/employable or not.

Wow, you're really having trouble figuring out the carbon tax-and-rebate program! Carbon tax is estimated usage. Rebates are based on taxable income, so wealthy folks "urban elites" get lower rebates on a sliding scale, and lower net income people get more back. If you're earning near minimum wage, it's a net gain and it helps people with transportation costs to afford to keep working. Your urban-rural difference claim is just nonsense, political divisiveness, schilling for Conservatives.

The Indigenous Framework is another neoLiberal ploy. It seeks to negotiate extinguishment of Aboriginal rights, withholding funds for children's services, etc. to extort compliance. Now Trudeau's trying to roll it out in pieces, children's services first. Could be there's a variety of opinions, Canada's Band Councils, Traditional Councils. The Supreme Court upholds Aboriginal and Treaty rights. So does the Queen. The reserves were set up as apartheid, starving, extorting and pushing Indigenous Peoples into small portions of their traditional lands, out of the way of industry and commerce. Many are reasserting their rights on their larger traditional lands too, a say in development and a share in revenues, self-sustaining in place. The reserves and traditional lands are home to those who live there and for many more who are from there. Indigenous Peoples may have moved seasonally within their traditional lands for food and medicine gathering, etc. and every 20 years or so to allow land to regenerate, if they grew food. Other groups might stay on their land by agreement. All of this is considered by the courts when necessary re Title and Aboriginal rights. Crown Land is traditional Indigenous land under protection of the Crown. Traditional Indigenous land is Canada's industrial area: Logging, mining, oil, gas, and our governments get revenue from that. Indigenous people get some jobs, some business perhaps, but also get contamination of their food and water supplies. "The trees are gone, the animals and birds and bees are gone, the geese don't come anymore, the fish have tumours' ... a common story for Indigenous communities throughout Canada's. Indigenous Trust Funds are a reality of the Treaties made to allow us to live on Indigenous land. The Federal government, as Trustee, will have to account for the Indigenous shares of revenues from industries, that are to be deposited in Indigenous Trust Funds, so they can sustain themselves. But Canada's accountants seem incompetent in that. The private property land registry is under protection of provincial governments, and while there may have to be compensation paid where land was 'assumed' without agreement, it's highly unlikely that governments would 'take anyone's property' for that reason. Though for oil & gas & pipelines they would, with some compensation perhaps. Yes, the public services we all receive are funded at lower levels for Indigenous communities, with no explanation and no accounting for that: Just racial discrimination in provision of public services to Indigenous people living on reserves. More than half live off reserve, though. In Canada we do support all people with low/no income, or with disabilities, and seniors: income supports and public housing, healthcare, etc. On reserves, as elsewhere in Canada, about 80% of the people on 'welfare' are single mothers with young children. (Caveat: Canada does discriminate against low/no income single men, who seldom if ever get public housing, so stay homeless on the street.) Since nobody's doing any of that stuff you've raised as concerns, (see above), then really you have nothing to worry about. And if the Federal government starts depositing, distributing and publicly accounting for Indigenous monies the way a Trustee is legally required to, it will be more understandable and acceptable to Canadians. Maintaining the lie that support for Indigenous people comes from Canadian taxpayers is a heinous, divisive and devious government strategy to sustain systemic racism against Indigenous Peoples, to cover up federal government embezzlement of Indigenous funds and to convince Canadians that the "final solution" to the Indigenous "problem" is to force them to fully assimilate, with intent to destroy them as Indigenous Nations. That systemic racism filters down through all public services, including policing. Of course, some people don't care about those financial realities of Canada since their denigration of Indigenous Peoples is just one aspect of their racism.

Horsesh!t. Rebates are higher than costs at lower income levels where the relief is needed.

They are saying that Canada's genocidal "intent to destroy" Indigenous Peoples "as such" has always existed, still exists, and is manifested in many devious ways through systemic racism, dismissing, degrading and dehumanizing Indigenous women as one relevant example. Genocide is a process of destroying a group, not a single event.

"Cultural genocide" is an aspect of genocide, not separate from it: There is no separate "cultural genocide" in law, as it is covered by the "acts" of genocide. Not entirely. Some of the more blatantly oppressive genocidal elements of the Indian Act were changed in 1951 (under pressure to sign the 1948 UN Convention on Genocide) and more in the 1970's I think. But Canada still delayed passing it's own law against genocide until 2000, 4 years after the last government-run 'Indian' Residential School closed. The Indian Act is still discriminatory, oppressive and riddled with genocidal "intent to destroy" Indigenous Peoples "as such". Prior to 1951, the benefits of Canadian citizenship were contingent upon giving up 'Indian' status (ie, any claim to the land). Indigenous people are entitled to the same benefits as all Canadians: welfare, disability and public housing for low income people; seniors benefits (OAS, GIS), Healthcare, education, children's services ... nothing 'special', and sometimes less - education per-pupil funding is less on reserves, for example. These differences are referred to as 'gaps' in equality of funding. To date, the government has only encouraged Indigenous "self-government" at the cost of a final settlement and extinguishing all Aboriginal rights forever. That has been rejected repeatedly by First Nations, most recently Trudeau's "Indigenous Framework". It's an extortion document, holding children's funding ransom until Chiefs agree to give up all Aboriginal rights especially land rights ... because business needs "certainty" - ie, Alberta and Trudeau want pipelines to "tidewater". Indigenous Nations made treaties that included revenue payments from resources taken from their land, land sales and leases, etc. The federal government is Trustee for those funds from Confederation forward. The 'Indian' Trust Funds are more than sufficient to support Indigenous communities, but an accurate accounting for those Indigenous Trust Fund monies has never been provided by the federal government. Instead, there is evidence that the Trustee (federal government) stole much of the 'Indian' Trust Funds and used it for us instead (to build Osgood Hall, McGill university for example), or leases and other revenues were simply not paid. I think Canadians should be demanding a full accounting for 'Indian' Trust Funds from Confederation forward, because no taxpayer money should ever be required to support Indigenous Peoples. Trustees who steal from trust funds they administer go to jail. One example I'm aware of: Some of the land of City of Brantford was leased from Haudenosaunee Six Nations, but not paid. The Mayor once gave a figure of the outstanding amounts just for those leases. At the time, I estimated Six Nations 'government' funding from Confederation forward, and it was far far less than the amounts owed to their Trust Fund for just those leases. And they have many many more outstanding claims for unpaid revenues and other funds missing from their Trust Fund. Also, businesses on reserve pay Federal taxes, amounts far exceeding their annual 'government' funding. Indigenous Nations are not dependent on taxpayer money. Rather, our governments (and thus we also) are dependent on embezzling 'Indian' Trust Fund money. Agreed. All warrant consideration. Canada's legal obligations for all outstanding Land Claims should have been settled long ago, but each government just delays, wasting money in litigation and negotiation with no real intent to settle anything, kicking the can down the road to the next government and continuing to underfund services for Indigenous children, adults and communities, even though the funds administered by the government are Indigenous Trust Fund monies Indigenous issues are poverty issues to some extent. It is neither surprising, nor unreasonable that the report recommends Guaranteed Basic Income, a very successful program where implemented, saving much more money than it costs. (Eg, in policing, Emergency hospital use, social and children's services, gaining education for employment, reducing the vulnerability of women, etc). I hope this is helpful to your understandings.

You need to provide some links to the "98" reports you refer to. The only figure you quote is "70%" and that comes from the 2015 RCMP report of solved cases. You have nothing else, and you're making stuff up: Though an interesting occurrence in the context of considerations of genocide, Chief Medical Officer of Indian Affairs Dr. Peter Bryce's 1907 report certainly was not about murdered women. It was about the number of children dying of tuberculosis in the residential schools, due to failure to separate sick children from others, as was the law and practice everywhere else in Canada. According to a national magazine, the same year Bryce made his report "Indian boys and girls are dying like flies.... Even war seldom shows as large a percentage of fatalities as does the education system we have imposed on our Indian wards." But the government failed to act. A few years later, in 1918, Duncan Campbell Scott, wrote “It is readily acknowledged that Indian children lose their natural resistance to illness by habituating so closely in the residential schools, and that they die at a much higher rate than in their villages. But this alone does not justify a change in the policy of this Department, which is geared towards a final solution of our Indian Problem.” The fact of children dying at high rates due to failure to separate children "does not justify a change in the policy..." That's called genocide. Bryce was sidelined for his protests, and after his retirement he wrote a book about the situation called A National Crime. But it is NOT about missing and murdered Indigenous women. Valcourt's "70%" comment related to the one RCMP data report on solved cases with offenders identified. How many missing and murdered women's cases are unsolved? They don't say. You have no others. "98" reports of data on murdered Indigenous women? Nonsense.
