The inquiry was the recommendation made by the TRC. Non natives could also be responsible for the disappearances and until the cases are solved you can't say it's one way or the other.

It makes a hard situation more difficult by basically saying they have no intention of hearing the other side in negotiations.

You don't need to throw away your culture to make use of technology and knowledge. There isn't some barrier that goes, "oh you are not European you can't use this or understand this."

Doesn't change the fact we have treaties making them so. Trying to minimize assimilation and it's effect by making generalizations about groups doesn't make the assimilation efforts okay.

if it is a mistake of correlation for causation then show the other variable that is lowering crime rate.

I would take an academic study over anecdotal evidence any day. Kind of a strange way of hand waving away other people's evidence by claiming the reality is different.

You are getting an education that isn't nothing.

At the same time teachers should be allowed to fail students. Parents and administration should not be able to pressure teachers into passing weak students.

Probably doesn't help that people have a hostile attitude towards teachers.

Students shouldn't be able to negotiate any final grade. Same with rating teachers schools should scrap that as well.

Political terms that are meant to stall discussion rather than carry discussion forward.

You most certainly did take my post out of context. You are not challenging anything you are running in circles. Post where I claimed Hamas was formed in the 50's. Your paragraph on trying to claim Yassin denounced terrorism when he in fact called for it. Israel certainly played a part in allowing Hamas to become what it is today. Your requests are meaningless I never made any claim about Palestinians leaders recognition of Israel. This thread is about antisemitism not Canada and it's relationship with aboriginial people perhaps it isn't obvious to you. I understand my own countries origins but apparently you are not understanding of Israel's origins. You haven't shown any double standard you only made a red herring.

Here is the full quote. of what I said. Don't take my quotes out of context. You are only doing so in the hopes to hand wave away any argument that you don't like. I don't need to post posts from other users to you. A Canadian's arguments against Israel's settlement program isn't harmed by Canada's government's issues with the First Nations. Like wise an Israeli person's argument against Canada's treatment of the First Nations isn't harmed by their own government's treatment of the Palestinians. The whole trying to change the subject to Canada is pretty alarming if that is how far you are willing to go to censor the subject from discussion. As to Canadian smugness it is nothing more than a petty insult. The Muslim brotherhood offshoots were financed by Israel to act as counter weight against the PLO. The Offshoots goes on to form the Islamic university in Gaza and then later this offshoot becomes Hamas which starts becoming worse after the Oslo Accords. Hamas was able to play on peoples desire to continue to resist Israel and won the election. All of that would not be happening had Israel not allowed Muslim Brotherhood offshoots to take hold just so they can fight the PLO. I would say not allowing people to come back is unreasonable. That is not a reason to deny other people their right to statehood. Something they have wanted for 70 years.

On the contrary I do not have to provide posts on here to validate my response since I am arguing that being critical of Israel's policy is not ignoring Canada's flaws. Majority of Israeli Jews originate from Europe what is your point? If they are born in Israel they are Israeli if they are born in Canada they are Canadian. Bush doesn't have a point he is doing his usual trolling. I challenge the settlement program, the Gaza wall, the refusal to the right of return to Palestinians stuck in other Arab countries, the moving away from the two state solution, the division of the PLO which lead to the rise of Hamas. I don't have to negatively stereotype anybody to say those policies are bad.

I am not sure how criticizing Israel's policies is Canadian smugness. A person criticizing Israel's policies is not forgetting Canada's bad policies.

The report found no evidence of embezzlement just bad book keeping in a community that is practically falling apart.

From your article. DeBeers provides little money compared to what it is getting out of the mine.

The issue isn't lefties or righties the situation spans multiple governments throughout Canada's existence. From a mere outpost back then to cities today. The provincial government can certainly stand to give up some of those royalties to the people affected.

No the aboriginals are not immigrants they did not leave one country and go to another as such concepts of country and nation did not exist back then. The proper term would be migration and that is how every part of the world became populated is through migration.

90 million dollars or roughly 1% of the profit DeBeers is getting from the mine plus all royalties going to provincial government despite being right in backyard of the reserve. I do not know the final cost obviously it would be expensive however that expense is great due to the lack of willingness of the Canadian government to uphold their part of the treaties which is to provide services and means to the bands in exchange the natives leave their land and settle else where. That elsewhere being mostly determined by the colonial government back then.

In order to remove them from "welfare" they need money injected into their reserve in order to afford basic services that we have here in the city. These places are not economically self sustaining due to mental health and lack of infrastructure. The government chose to pay the Natives, pay them more to fix their issues. Cutting off the money will only exacerbate the situation.

The problem with abolishing the Indian act is that it would remove government responsibility and special recognition of First Nations. It would be the same as the White Paper Trudeau sr. and Chretien presented. It would be better to amend the Indian act to give first nations more control over their own services such as education and health.

Or Canada amends the indian act to allow First Nations to have more control over their lives rather than it being dictated by the government. Increase funding so reserves can actually afford the proper services to help their people.

In response to the invasion of Ireland by the English, I chose British since it would include the Welsh and Scots also.
