Wow....what a uninformed person you are. It is BC taxpayer money. If Canadian companies cannot bid...that is their and their unions problems. Are you so uninformed as to why so much of our manufacturing left Canada?? We cost ourselves out of business. Not a federal government problem...our personal problem. And, once again, the BC Ferry procurement is not a federal procurement...it is a BC government procurement. The only incompetence is your failure to understand and accept the facts LOL

The ferry deal was in the works long before Trump. It began in 2021. Canadian steel? When we were buying steel from China and selling it to the US and that is what pi$$ed off Trump??? "No Canadian companies placed a bid for BC Ferries' contract to build new vesselsaccording to BC Ferries and various news reports. Canadian shipyards like Davie and Seaspan declined to bid, citing the procurement process's focus on lowest price" Incompetence?? By who? The Canadian shipyards??? The whole thing was a BC issue...no federal involvement at all.

Oh yeah, let them build it at a fishing pier in Steveston on the Fraser River LOL You clearly are a fool. There is no ship building facilitates in BC, that is not already under big contracts long term and building a facility would take many years. That is why no shipbuilders made bids. No amount of money could make the ferries be built in BC.

I disagree and the only way to show that is down vote. They could put a disagree emoji in the list but do not. Oh and yes, most of your posts get a down vote from me because I disagree with most of with you post. .

Huh??? What chips on who's shoulder?

What is encouraging? Or, who is it encouraging for?

If you take the don't know, can't say into account here is way More than 50%. 60% say they should be governed by the same systems and rules as other Canadian. "For example, while a slight majority of Canadians feel that Indigenous People have a unique status in Canada (55%), and the vast majority of Indigenous identifying individuals agree (68%), a large number push back (45%), saying Indigenous Peoples should have the same status as others living in modern Canada, including two-in-three Conservative Party voters (68%)." Very important in this poll is "The Angus Reid Institute collected responses from those who self-identify as Indigenous in this survey." "The total number of responses from Indigenous individuals (245 responses) was weighted within the total sample to be statistically representative at five per cent. Please consider these views as informative but not authoritative." So, the poll is only asked of 245 indigenous.... Ask Canadians and see what ya get Anyway Michael...your cite does not help your cause

There is a lot more than half the country thinking the indians have gotten far too much.

Huh??? You are quoting yourself responding to chrissy1979 and you mention me??? Losing it are ya? Getting befuddled by your own BS posts LOL

No, I am no thinking of the US. The Europeans came and took what they wanted. Sometimes with resistance other times without, they just gave it up. The brits and the french fought and some indigenous chose partners. When french lost, so did the indigenous. 1763 ended the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War between Great Britain and France, as well as their respective allies. In the terms of the treaty, France gave up all its territories in mainland North America, effectively ending any foreign military threat to the British colonies there. Here is some history of the natives warring with each other....https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/military-history/history-heritage/popular-books/aboriginal-people-canadian-military/warfare-pre-columbian-north-america.html

Oh? They were not conquered?? Were they then vanquished? Defeated? Subdued?Were they then? Being submissive? Bottom line is they lost and yes, we made treaties but that was only to prevent more killing of the natives and we (Canada) had certainly paid that for the past 200+ years.

Yes they did. They lost their territories. They lost territories to to other bands in their wars and then they lost them to the Europeans. Yeah, well, our courts are too politically correct as opposed to reality.

They have been paid every hour, every day, every week, every month every year since they lost the country. They have been paid enough already They are owed nothing more.

Of course you don't remember....you and him are one and the same. LOL I am done with that jacka$$

Clearly naive. Read any of his post. There none that do not have insults. He even spent numerous posts calling me a liar when he continually insulted my mother and I informed him of her death and he continued on calling me liar and kept on insulting my family (including my dead father)

Clearly you have missed half the posts he makes LOL

To wherever they want. But why move is they get everything for free right here They will never find a place better than here to get everything for free.

Why negotiate a treaty at all??? Either they become Canadian or leave!!! Move into the real world...pay your own way....for everything. I say null and void all existing treaties and take them all off our payment records and let them live as we all have to do.

OK....there are a few indigenous that work but 90% do not. You want to better yourselves? Well, stand on your own 2 feet and get along without the government giving you everything...money housing in particular and pay taxes like the rest of Canadians. Wanna get out form under the thumb of government? OK, I agree. Start with earning your own money and stop being a burden to Canadian taxpayers. Indigenous have had hundreds of years to stand up and be assets yet, your people chose to take, take take.

So, your region ids driven by the indigenous welfare state? We can learn how to do nothing to better yourself and collect government money for innumerable decades? "coalesced around indigenous aspirations"? What the H does that mean??? What aspirations have the indigenous ever had except to get more taxpayer money for doing noting.

All anyone with any intelligence is asking for is proof and after all these years, none has been provided. MAGA shilll? Huh???

I asked questions of you to provide proof of your accusations and you are unable to answer because there is no proof. So, what hope are you trying to get?

Considering the "horrors" are all unproven or hearsay, what are you supporting? Please provide any proof and evidence before you claim hateful speech. You are aware that nothing was found?

What foul language? Is it the "Geezus H christ, what a load of crap" that gets you upset??? I never once disrespected your right to freedom of belief. I just pointed out that your pontificate is unwanted and un-needed in a political forum. Having freedom of speech is one thing but constant preaching is completely opposite of free speech especially if one tries to demean others with the preaching,.

Ohhh so confux its now posting to you???/ LOL
