Just ask her.

Adapting will cost us 6 times as much.

Yup, Carney's first official lie was that the carbon tax didn't work. He can thank you for your support.

C'mon he can't be all bad, he was also a professional tax avoider don't forget. He just convinced enough people that PP was the scarier choice in the face of Trump is all. Climate change will eventually bring people back around to reality.

You would not believe the kerfuffle I caused when I assigned the descendant of a family who were slaves to run a crew with a hereditary chief that descended from the family that enslaved them.

I thought you meant the voters. They're the more important factor don't you think? And just the other day you said you cared.

There's a better chance they'll go back to the NDP and Greens. Concern for the environment and climate hasn't gone away. It was briefly eclipsed by the emergence of Trump but that'll pass - kinda like COVID.

Change the channel. I'm a white man, a government certified Master...they put me in charge of women and people of colour and tell them to follow the Master's command. It even says to on their certificates. What exactly do you want me to do? I mean, am I not already the epitome of what you want to see in the workplace? There's people I have to answer too as well you know. No I just think a Klingons approach would be more conducive to the traditional values you want to see. A Klingon would probably think you're acting like a homo.

Sure. Well, they forced me to go to free school back almost 60 years ago see. I've suggested you people advocate for education systems that are more like a Klingon military prep schools - to beat the sort of sense you're talking about into kids at an earlier age. What do you think?

I've yet to have it applied to me I guess. In my occupation boats are still she's and captain's are their Masters. It even says Master on official government certificates. It's almost an anachronism in this day and age. You sure seem to run headlong into this issue a lot. Do you go looking for it or something? You remind of Mr Canada and his preoccupation with Pride parades. Any it's just called the head on a boat.

You're obviously referring to yourself. What does your employer, professional association or school board think? Hoping someone will penalize these for making acknowledgement their policy will probably only add another layer of frustration to your angst. You could just put it out of your mind but that's probably too hard.

Yeah well, I guess they got over that where I live and we got a treaty! We get along. August would get it.

Forming a coalition with the Nazis. The German National People's Party - national-conservative monarchists. They were apparently big on authoritarians. Whatever else the Nazis were it was even more hard-boiled right-wing conservatives who gave them the majority they needed. You gotta hand it to right-wing conservatives, they sure can pick a winner.

You're just not paying attention are you. Negotiated treaties are the surest path towards this. Like I said they've been the biggest economic driver where I live and where the resident population is about 50% 1st Nations. They're not wasting anytime creating businesses and finding partners to come and invest in larger ventures, which is a lot easier now that they have certainty over title to their territories.

Huh? I'm not justifying it, I'm simply acknowledging how things unfolded. I think we could all stand a good renegotiation of our Confederation. Except next time we should also incorporate the indigenous perspective into it as well. In a lot of ways there's a real opportunities here for everyone. I live where formal modern treaties have been negotiated and it's plain as day they're amongst the biggest economic drivers in the region.

They were here before England. The logic of the day was according to agreements England had with competing colonizers from Europe. They all had to justify their claims to colonies by, amongst other things, showing they had treaties with indigenous people that extinguished Aboriginal title. Even back then there was a process guided by law and jurisprudence. That process lives on and will live on long long after all of us are gone.

That's right, the economy sure sucked bad on Harper's watch but that didn't stop him from giving himself a hearty pat on the back for cutting Canada's CO2 emissions. Or was that just you claiming credit?

Our society is not sick it's just lazy. It's evolving, in the case of our relationship with First Nations, according more to our centuries old system of jurisprudence than negotiated treaties. England's Governor of British Columbia didn't extinguish the indigenous title that English law plainly said existed at the time of colonization. That title didn't go away with Confederation and responsibility for acknowledging it was formally and legally passed onto British Columbians, Canadians and our governments. We also adopted the same legal system of jurisprudence and it's as accessible to indigenous people as anyone. What did people think would happen, especially in the absence of properly negotiated treaties?

Then you are by default definition a disgusting left wing traitor to your ideology, party, species and above all else your filthy gender. Sorry kiddo, but it's not me that makes up the rules you people live by.

Yup, we're all gonna die.

Clearly, the world is getting warmer due to your success.

Nobody gives a shit since you people won the climate change war so now its up to you guys to deliver. You should only need a couple of years to make everything right as rain.

Well, you're the ones in the driver seat now so... Let me guess, this will be like the left and pronouns where you people have to pizz and moan for decades and decades about them before you come up with a goal.

Kinda like the left eh? Look how many decades and decades you've pissed and moaned about that without doing anything but pissing and moaning some more. And you say you care about your country? 🤔

Really? I had no idea. How come you know so much about this stuff? Ignorance is bliss I suppose. It looks like knowing has made you crazy. Who needs that?
