  1. We are not talking about putting people in a barbaric aboriginal culture. We are talking about the fact the aboriginal kids needed to be educated to function in a civilized Canadian society. Is that too much to ask or do? Would you rather leave them uneducated, unemployed and starving on some reserves? Doesn't sound too bright.
  2. FNs had to change with colonization or starve. There was no other choice. They did not understand or agree to working in a day jobs for eight hours a day. So the question was who was going to support them? There was no welfare system or social services in those days. You either worked or starved or begged.
  3. Every kid today is required to go to school to get a basic education. FNs old culture was entirely different. They did not believe in working an eight hour day or going to work on a schedule for five days a week. Their society let the women do most of the day to day chores in the villages and raise the kids, while the men did the hunting and gathering wild foods, game, and fish. But they only did that at certain times. They did not work like white men had to. How do you think they could survive in the new colonized world without a basic education and changing their work culture to a white man's work culture which meant going to work on a schedule every day five or six days a week? They had to learn to be able to work in jobs for other employers like logging, construction, etc. There was no other way to change their thinking except through going to school. They had to be required to attend schools in order to learn to live in society. They need to learn to read, write, and some other subjects in order to function in society. The old life of hunting and gathering had basically ended and there was no choice. The way they lived and their thinking would not support them so how do you think they could live without a basic education and working in society. It is nonsense to say the government was trying to destroy their culture. The FN culture was finished and they could not make a living on that in the new colonized world. That is just the way the world changes. It has always changed and people have always had to adapt to the changes. Secondly, it is ridiculous to say people living today must pay compensation for things that happened in the past that effected FNs lives. That is just how the world changes. You sound like you have no idea about history and how the world works. How do you think they could have lived without a basic education in white man's world?
  4. What are you saying? Do you want a Communist tv system? What are saying here? I don't think anything like that ever happened. You sound like you're making a lot of stuff up. This sound like fiction. Why would government give money out like that? No, I think the telephone company, at least in B.C. has always owned the telephone lines and cables. It did not need to buy any cable internet from any other company. The telephone company provides service to areas that have enough population. How can the phone company provide high speed internet to remote villages when it costs hundreds of millions of dollars to run cables into remote areas and build infrastructure? That has always been the problem. Why would you want to pay for a handful of people in some remote village to have high speed internet? But you will be paying if the lefties and NDP have their way. They would spend billions of dollars to build infrastructure to provide high speed internet to every remote FN village with a handful of people. Capitalism is the best system in the world. It is what made western countries prosperous. Just look at what people in the west own compared with the rest of the world. Communism never worked and never will. Communism goes against human nature because it rewards laziness and takes from those that work hard to innovate and produce something.
  5. If they cut off Fox News, Fox might be able to challenge it in court as a violation of fundamental freedoms.
  6. I was not completely correct on that. I just read part of an article where it says you can use your smart phone without an internet connection or cable to cast a video to a smart tv. But it says it is limited on what you can watch or do. I have not tried that as I don't have a Smart phone or a Smart TV. You could watch some things on a Smart TV that way but it is not as convenient or nearly as useful as just watching programs on the tv directly from a router and cable connection. You would be greatly limited I think. Television also uses a lot of bandwidth on your Smart phone connection and you would be using a cell phone tower. If you have a large monthly bandwidth or unlimited bandwidth, you could watch some things that way. If you have a small bandwidth, television would eat it up because it uses a lot of bandwidth to watch a program on video/television. Can You Use a Smart TV Without the Internet? (hometoys.com)
  7. Whether you use an app like Netflix on a Smart TV, you still need cable service into your home with a wireless router or router with a cable connected to the TV. Always need a cable. If you live in an apartment building, you still must use Wifi to connect to a router somewhere close by in the building for your Smart TV. All wireless routers are connected to the telephone company via a cable. You pay for the service either yourself or added to your rent. To sum it up, everyone gets their internet service via a cable that runs from the telephone exchange to everyone's home. It is connected to a router which has Wifi. You can then use your smart phone, laptop computer, or smart tv to connect via the wireless router in your home. That's how it works with telephone companies. Cablevision companies also use cables, which probably are connected to the local telephone company equipment in the telephone exchange.
  8. I buy cable, actually fibre optic because I get high speed internet, television, and home telephone service. It comes as a package from Telus. You can't get just internet. You have to take the whole home services package. Smart TVs won't work without cable anyway. Smart TVs work off a cable with a router in your house. How do you get smart TV without an internet connection on a cable? Not sure if you know how it works. Almost everyone has to pay for a cable connection. You also need a cable for wifi if you want to use a laptop or desk computer on the internet. The only other way you could get Wifi is if you had a Satellite dish and got your TV and internet from a satellite which is very expensive and not necessarily high speed either.
  9. How else do you get television or internet at home?
  10. Canadians are being scammed right and left and required to pay compensation for aboriginal children who attended day school. How is this reasonable? If someone was abused that is one thing. But paying every kid who went to school tens of thousands of dollars because they were allegedly deprived of some dead native language is ludicrous and a scam. If that is the case, I am sure will come up with excuses to make Canadians pay and pay forever.
  11. And why shouldn't they? Everyone is compelled to go to school and get a basic education. Why should Aboriginal children have been exempt? Do you seriously think school should have been optional? Why should Canadians be paying billions of dollars for aboriginals children who were required to go to school back in the mid 20th century. This is just another insane payout by the Liberal-NDP shysters.
  12. Should this shock Canadians? Should we be surprised that the Liberals would freely use taxpayer's money for their own purposes? How the Trudeau Foundation became a scandal mill | National Post What was the whole purpose of this foundation? Why was so much taxpayer money poured into it? We are told it was to be a benevolent organization to fund scholarships for students. But what kind of students? Are they students closely connected with the Liberal elite circle or what is the deal here? Is it to promote Liberalism and increase Liberal fortunes? I think there are a lot of questions arising from such a vast sum of money being taken from taxpayers for this cause. When a large amount of taxpayer money is used for such a purpose and when there are clear connections to the Liberal Party or people associated with it, I think taxpayers have a right to know what is going on and there should be accountability to Canadians. " The foundation would award doctoral fellowships; up to $50,000 over four years for humanities scholars who looked “to promote (Pierre Trudeau’s) ideas,” in the words of Roy Heenan, Trudeau’s former law partner." "Promote Pierre Trudeau idea's" That pretty well says it all. We have an idea that means liberal ideology including progressivism. Seems they must have done a pretty good job. Canada is descending further downward in a spiral of liberalism with same-sex marriage, abortion on demand, medical assistance in dying even for poor people who can't afford accommodations or food or medical care, and now people with mental issues, globalism, financial support for Romanism, continual release on bail and parole of dangerous offenders who go out to commit crimes and murder police and others, and mass immigration from the third world.
  13. Did you folks see the latest revelations about China's interference and threats against a member of Parliament's relatives in China? And the Liberals do nothing about it. I have to wonder, is the Liberal government under the control of China now? Is that really possible? They do not want to expel anybody and appear running scared of China.
  14. The Liberals are not listening to Canadians, not listening to Premiers, not listening to all the Chiefs of police. They are a complete disaster for Canada and have to go.
  15. ...tempers have not been so easily soothed by former prime minister Jean Chrétien’s cavalier assessment : “Ten or 15 constituencies in Canada at most? I don’t think it’s a very big problem.” " Really? Is Chretien serious? Does he really understand what he said? This certainly seems to me like a serious threat to our democracy. What if an election resulted in a minority government and they were less than ten or fifteen seats short of a majority. What if this was due to Chinese interference? Would this not be an earth-shattering consequence of interference in the electoral process? It appears a difference of a few seats, even ten or less could determine which party forms government or stays in power. Why would Canadians accept such a situation as a Communist country determining what kind of government Canada has? Seems unthinkable. Terry Glavin: Why we may have finally reached a tipping point on Chinese interference (msn.com)
  16. Nobody should have any doubt that Romanism is a system that sets itself up as the mediator and judge between everyone and God.
  17. Just for the record, this is what Chretien said about the Chinese Communist interference in Canadian elections: quote It’s also all to the good that the spotlight has been bright on the dirty work of Beijing’s agents of influence in efforts to monkey-wrench the outcome of the 2019 and 2021 federal elections to the advantage of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, and that Canadian tempers have not been so easily soothed by former prime minister Jean Chrétien’s cavalier assessment : “Ten or 15 constituencies in Canada at most? I don’t think it’s a very big problem.” " Terry Glavin: Why we may have finally reached a tipping point on Chinese interference (msn.com) You be the judge.
  18. Do you think they should just have left native kids on reserves, without any education at all and unable to function in society? No reading, writing, or arithmetic?
  19. Stop the phony white shaming and bull. If you want to play the victim, or want to blame white people for things that happened back in history, you need mental health and spiritual counseling. Try your local Protestant church for help. The Romanist church can't help; they need help themselves.
  20. You should ask the dictators in Russia, Iran, or China that question. America has been involved in the middle east and helping Israel to survive for many decades and trying to limit the expansion of hostile powers. You either support the west or you are supporting Commies and Islamist dictators. The middle east is full of complex problems and the power struggles necessitate the involvement of America or hostile powers will expand their influence and control to the detriment of the west.
  21. You are mixed up. Protestants were deemed heretics for centuries by Romanism. They were put through the Holy Roman Inquisition, tortured, imprisoned, or burned at the stake. Why do you think exposing false religion is "hate"? You obviously want to silence anyone who questions your false religion. How about providing some evidence Romanism is true Christianity? You can't because it has no legitimate basis. The Bible completely debunks it. Truth is not hate. Try opening your mind to other views for a change. You might learn something.
  22. According to Biblical prophecy a New World Order is coming. It is just a matter of when. Whether there will be some sort of intermediate world order before that final new world order is hard to say. I do believe there are powers at play that do want to eliminate individual freedom and put everyone's life under the total authority of government. We have already had lots of dictators who tried that in various countries. quote The idea of a New World Order is plausible and is a fulfillment of Bible Prophecy. The New World Order is an emerging totalitarian world government that permits no individuals freedom and seeks to subordinate all aspects of the individual’s life to the authority of the government. The Bible does provide more than enough evidence to allow us to believe that there will be a totalitarian world government under the rule of the Antichrist beast in the last days. In the book of Revelation the Apostle John has an apocalyptic vision where he sees a “beast,” (Antichrist) rising out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns, “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.” Revelation 13:1 In Revelation 17:12-13 the angel explains the meaning of the vision; the beast with ten horns (Symbolic) receives power with ten kings in one hour and shall give all of their authority to the beast. “…And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” THE ANTICHRIST BEAST WILL: HAVE SATAN’S POWER, SEAT AND GREAT AUTHORITY. “…and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Revelation 13:2 BE WORSHIPPED “…and they worshipped the beast,” Revelation 13:4. WAGE WAR AGAINST THE SAINTS AND HAVE POWER WORLD WIDE. “…And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations,” Revelation 13:7. THE FALSE PROPHET WILL: FORCE PEOPLE TO WORSHIP AN IMAGE OF THE BEAST OR BE KILLED, “…and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed,” Revelation 13:15 FORCE PEOPLE TO RECEIVE A MARK, THE BEAST’S NAME OR 666 IN THEIR RIGHT HAND OR FOREHEAD. “…And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads,” Revelation 13:16. WILL DENY PEOPLE FROM BUYING OR SELLING WITHOUT THE MARK, NAME OR NUMBER OF THE BEAST (666), “…And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name,” Revelation 13:17. According to Bible Prophecy the Antichrist beast will have authority over a New World Order just before the return of Jesus Christ who will destroy him with the brightness of his coming! And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 2 Thess 2:8 unquote What is the New World Order? – End-Times Prophecy Research (endtimesprophecyresearch.com)
  23. We know you oppose all things white Christian, European founding people. Just admit it and move on.
  24. I heard on TV that some Canadian troops were probably killed by roadside bombs because they had to travel in motorized vehicles instead of being transported by helicopter. By far the most Canadian soldiers were killed by explosives (97) according to Wikipedia. It doesn't say how many were by roadside bombs. We don't know how many could have been avoided if they had been transported by helicopter instead. It seems reasonable to assume a shortage of helicopters makes their job more hazardous.
