I am Groot

Have you been taking whatever pills August is on?

For posting an example of how DEI is unfairly implemented in support of my contention about its unfairness? Does it hurt your brain to see things that contradict your worldview?

Let me translate what you just wrote as I read it. "Yeah, I kind of skimmed the first couple of lines, and it seemed to be disagreeing with me, so I stopped. I already know all the answers, so I'm not interested in evidence."

When white people are the minority, does anyone think there'll be affirmative action programs for US? Or that human rights agencies will care what's done to us or how we're discriminated against? They don't even care now!

Evidently, you didn't read this before, so I'll provide it again. There has been essentially no revision of the terms of the senior promise since it was established 50-60 years ago, and the result is that the only way it can be fulfilled is if each generation is significantly higher – not just the same size – as the generation preceding it. R&M showed that required an increase in population by 4.25 times over fifty years. But that more than quadrupling would have to continue every fifty years – by 2117, Canada’s population would need to be in the neighbourhood of 665 million https://donwright.substack.com/p/the-bogus-idea-that-will-not-die In 2006, the C.D. Howe Institute published a study called “No elixir of youth: immigration cannot keep Canada young.” It concluded that immigration could do little to alleviate the likely consequences of aging on Canada’s age structure and government finances. In order to maintain the current dependency ratio, Canada would have to vastly increase immigration and by 2050 would be taking in 7 million immigrants per year and our population would be 65 million. https://dominionreview.ca/the-lie-that-wont-die-immigration-is-the-solution-for-canadas-aging-population/

It's a lot more widely held than people like you probably realize. People are fed up with all the bullshit around natives and how the rest of us have to feel guilty and pay them off forever. Let this guy say it when he talks about the bullshit land acknowledgements, which are de rigueur these days. He says it quite well. Let me break this down clearly so you can better understand why these mandated Land Acknowledgements are offensive to me. They imply inherited guilt. A Land Acknowledgement usually frames the land I live and work on as “stolen.” Even if it does not say the words directly, the message is that I am benefiting from a theft. I served my country for 25 years, I have paid my taxes, raised my family responsibly, and built a life honestly. It cuts against my sense of fairness and justice to be told I must carry guilt for actions taken by people hundreds of years ago. I will not accept accountability for the past when I had no part in it. They ignore my contribution. I have invested decades of service in the military, in my education, in my community, and in my family. These acknowledgements do not recognize those sacrifices, nor those of my ancestors who also built and defended this country. Instead, they imply my very presence is illegitimate. That denies the legitimacy of my life’s work and my family’s role in helping build this nation. They make reconciliation into a ritual of shame. A healthy society should face the past with honesty. But what I see is not dialogue or shared responsibility. It is a scripted performance that demands I accept a label like “colonizer,” whether or not it reflects who I am. Rather than bringing people together, it divides by assigning one group permanent guilt and another permanent victimhood. That is not reconciliation. It is coerced shame. They erase complexity. History in Canada is complicated. Many settlers and Indigenous peoples lived, worked, and fought together. There were injustices, but also cooperation, intermarriage, and shared struggles. Long before Europeans arrived, Indigenous groups also fought among themselves, sometimes brutally, with violence and cruelty toward rival tribes. No group in history is free from wrongdoing. Yet the Land Acknowledgement format reduces this reality to a one-sided story of “oppressors vs. oppressed,” which is neither fair nor accurate. They are being mandated. Perhaps the strongest reason I find them offensive is that these acknowledgements are not voluntary. They are imposed in workplaces, schools, and public events as if they were civic duties or loyalty oaths. Refusing to participate often brings social or professional penalties. That strips away personal agency and turns what could have been a gesture of respect into a forced confession. So my reaction is not irrational. These acknowledgements conflict with my principles of fairness, personal responsibility, and earned legitimacy. They demand I accept guilt I do not bear, while ignoring the contributions my family and I have made. They also erase the truth that no people, Indigenous or otherwise, lived without conflict or wrongdoing in the past. Tom Marazzo Who exactly got Canada for free? Those born here?

I work for myself, booboo. If I don't work. I don't get any money. No vacation and no sick pay.

Unceded land. Because now and then, three hundred years ago, natives from a particular band pulled their birchbark canoe over to camp and hunt rabbits there. But 'territory' was a concept only known to the natives as 'whatever I can physically hold by force against others'. They couldn't hold it. So it's not theirs. I hope you approve of my being sensitive to and respectful of their culture.

A Leger and Leger poll found a strong majority of Canadians say Canada doesn't need new immigrants. Furthermore, they don't want more multiculturalism. They want immigrants to assimilate. In fact, they're more strongly in favour of immigrants assimilating than Americans are! So many NAZIS for herbie to rant at now! A majority of Canadians feel that the country does not need new immigrants and people are divided over whether newcomers should have to give up their customs, according to a new national poll. The survey, conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies found that 60 per cent of respondents disagreed that “Canada needs new immigrants,” with the highest levels of opposition found in Alberta (65 per cent), Ontario (63 per cent) and Quebec (61 per cent), followed by Manitoba and Saskatchewan (60 per cent), the Atlantic provinces (56 per cent) and British Columbia (48 per cent). https://nationalpost.com/news/majority-of-canadians-continue-to-oppose-new-immigration-poll?itm_source=index

Just because you never got an education but managed to find people to fill out the welfare forms for you is no reason to think others wouldn't be better off with an education.

You mean give away more land like the BC NDP government is doing. Yeah, being given massive amounts of money and land certainly can be an 'economic driver'. Though not so much to those footing the bills. I wonder if you'll be so sanguine if the natives show up and say your place belongs to them now. They did. That's why they demanded education in the treaties.

Go suck a back of dicks Endless apologies, endless tens of billions of dollars, endless big brother taking care of shiftless people who don't want to work, endless acceptance of the idea that people who barely or don't even speak a word of English might be able to fly across the planet from Africa and Asia and the Middle East to get here and work but natives can't take a bus and get a job. What gravesites? No one has found any, you brainless twat.

Ah yes, we should feel shame for... something or other. It was Thomas Sowell, I believe, who talked about how bizarre it was that people who look like the people who abused some other people should be made to compensate people who look like the people who got abused. I read as much information as I can on the subject, and I honestly see no sign of genocide or intended harm by the government. The government didn't have a school system, so it trusted the churches to do it. The churches weren't careful enough about who they sent there. Get over it. No one's alive from that era. The few residential schools still around in the 60s and 70s were increasingly overseen by native elders. And again, parents had to apply to send their kids.

What horrors? Native leaders demanded education for their children. They had to APPLY to send their kids to a boarding school if no day schools were close enough. This was at a time when almost all upper-class and many middle-class families sent their own children away to strict boarding schools. It was never mandatory except for a thirty-year period, and even during that period, at its height, only 30% of native kids attended a boarding (residential) school. The rest went to day schools. By the 1950s, 90% were attending day schools. Were there abuses? Obviously. There were abuses in every institutional setting, and even in day schools, regardless of the race of the child. Especially back in the 'spare the rod, spoil the child' era. People forget that all schools in Canada had the strap or cane right up through the 1970s. Did some native kids die from the diseases that swept through Canada back in the day? Sure. It wasn't understood back then how these diseases were passed. If we saw the death rates of kids in orphanages, reform schools, or in regular boarding schools they likely would have been similar. Probably had just as many abuses, too. Life was harsh back in the day. But if you listen to the media and the race grifters, residential schools were places of mass torture where every child was beaten and raped continuously, and half of them were murdered by sadistic nuns. And there's zero evidence of any of that.

This is for the WE NEED TO BRING IN MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE OF AN AGING POPULATION crowd.

Leave agriculture out of this. And very, very few are coming in for healthcare jobs other than the very lowest, most unskilled ones. Hardly any are coming in for trades either. The vast bulk are restaurant/hotel/retail workers. And to quote economist Don Wright: “But when businesses complain about having difficulty finding enough workers, what this really means is that they cannot easily find the workers they want at a wage they want to pay,” Wright says. “But, within reasonable limits, this is a good thing. It forces employers to pay higher wages, provides better working conditions and drives the creative destruction that leads to higher productivity, more valuable products and better business models.” Maybe foreign workers should be the first to be affected instead. Low/no income newcomers are a drain on social services for the entirety of their time here. And they can collect OAS and GIC after ten years here.

I hope all you white liberals are feeling suitably ashamed of yourself, disgusted by your entire race and its history, and properly abasing yourself before every semi-indigenous person you come across today, presumably including the 'metis' who are as white as you are since their ancestors were mostly French. Yes, it's another joyous day of lectures, another day of weeping liberals bowing before the natives their ancestors conquered, another day of grovelling apologies. Don't forget, at one point, almost 30% of native kids had to go to boarding schools! Oh, the shame! True, it wasn't mandatory, except for those who had no day schools they could attend, and only for a 30-year period, but we'll ignore that part. We'll also ignore that natives demanded education for their kids, even putting it into treaties. Thinking about facts is not what this day is about! It's about wallowing in guilt! So get to it, you lefties!

Before we can think about paying off the debt, we need to stop adding to it. And that is not in the liberal government's plans.

No, we do not. In fact, we have a high and rising unemployment rate, especially among youths. You think young people not being able to get secure jobs at a decent salary and not able to afford housing might have something to do with that? Nonsense. Poor people are a loss to the taxpayers, not paying more than a fraction of what they use in government services.

And from America, race crime stats. Something else our government won't keep, much less tell us about.

It made me laugh so I decided to post it here. https://x.com/attackdogX/status/1972718937289990628

Does anyone know how much money the CBC has 'lost' in the last decade? Because if we're giving them $1.3 billion (roughly) a year, that would seem to mean the CBC has LOST $13 billion in the last decade! "Any organization is not viable if it has cost $5 billion over the course of the last decade, if it's losing $10 million a day, which is what Canada Post currently is doing." - Mark Carney By his own logic, it's time to close down the CBC
