  1. It's clear you don't think they're fully human, and certainly not up to white standards. They receive SOME of their funding from the provinces and feds, but the same people pay taxes to the province and feds. Natives on reserve pay nothing. Small cities and towns have to take out loans and raise taxes for capital financing. Nobody gives them a damn thing. And you don't have a clue about the kinds of things that went on in regular schools. Even the good quality ones where rich people sent their kids. Our schools took after the British, and even Prince Charles found himself locked naked in a cage while cold water was poured over him at his boarding school. But they'd never do that to white kids, right? Like white orphans in Quebec? Sure do. And it's available to anyone who shows up. But no one locates hospitals out in hamlets of two or three hundred people, and no one can make doctors live anywhere near them either. Not if you're a native, no. If you're white it does. If you're a native on reserve the federal government will send you by bus, train or aircraft to get whatever medical care you think you need. No verification necessary so if you want to get flown to Thunder Bay to do a little shopping just make a doctor's appointment and skip it. If you're white it's up to you to find your own way to the nearest doctor or clinic. True. And it's people like you who keep them there.
  2. I take it you donn't agree with stuff like science and history.
  3. A: People are judging the schools based on today's standards, not the standards of the time. All schools back then were rough, had strict discipline enforced by corporal punishment, and had bullies and perverts among the staff and senior students. B: People don't seem to understand just how many people died of communicable diseases back then, or how ignorant medicine was about both the cause and cure of said diseases. c; The graveyards were known for many decades. That their headstones had been removed or disintgrated is irrelevant. These were not 'mass graves' but simple graveyards which had been ignored with time. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! Once it was proposed you'd have had to have balls to say anything against or assholes would call you a racist. None of our politicians have any balls.
  4. Canadian news: All covid, all the time.

      I think they’re honestly disappointed in Ontario right now.  They expected and hoped for much worse.  I think they’ll also be disappointed when covid becomes endemic and the pandemic is officially over.  It’s been such a boon to them.  They really get the ratings and the clicks selling fear 24/7.

      Yeah, I notice that when Quebec was by far the worst province it got very little publicity. Now that it' Alberta there's breathless national coverage in all the mainstream media every day.

      It's not all covid all the time no the BBC, or Euronews, or Deutch news, or Al Jazeera, or even CNN. Canadian TV is just incredibly lazy and cheap and finds endless talk about covid  cheaper to cover.

  5. Do the Indians go back to where they came from too? That would be China, I believe. By the way, if I go back to Scotland, and some of my ancestors there were from the Vikings who colonized the norther, do I then have to back to Norway? And if my ancestors moved there from further south do I have to go there then? Also, the natives living on the land they stole from other natives, like the Iroquois, for example, do they have to go back to the lands they came from and give the land back to the original natives who occupied it? Obviously in some cases they slaughtered them to the last child so there's no one to give the land back to, so do they just have to leave anyway?
  6. If they're on the reserves they mostly DON'T work. Never said that. You created this strawman because you aren't able to dispute what I DID say. So what you're saying is I should go and do what, protest at a demonstration, and hopefully (in your mind) get beat up by presumably violent natives? Do you support violence being used to suppress views you don't like? In fact, I chose to work today.
  7. Really? Please name the insults. Seems to me I've mostly insulted the sanctimonious, hand-wringers who are blindly shoveling money onto reserves to assuage their own self-loathing.
  8. In fact, all I've done is pointed out the ridiculous cost of keeping so many people on isolated reserves where they're wasting their lives away. I haven't said anything against natives. I like natives ten times more than I like simpering, knowledge-free progressive whiners.
  9. Sick of hearing from shrill, dried up old hags who have the IQ of a flower pot.

  10. Liberals don't care about such things. Their priority is keeping natives on their reservations. Preferably wearing their quaint native costumes.
  11. Is that what you see? I see liberal bigots who want to keep natives like dime store Indians, stuck in the past, doing quaint pow-wow dances for your amusement so you can toss pennies to them on your way past. The people on reserves have no meaning in their lives, no reason to live. No jobs or prospect of them. No way to improve or better themselves. And so they drink and do drugs, and get in fights while you sit back and merrily applaud. Every imaginable kind of person from all around the world comes to Canada and moves to the cities to live among us but somehow or other you liberal types think natives are some kind of deeply inferior creature that has to be kept isolated out in the woods and can never be integrated. Why is that? It never ceases to amaze me the depths of ignorance I see from the Left. Please do tell me what white communities are 'given' anything without question? A white town pays its taxes, and if it needs a new well, it pays to drill that well. White communities pay for their own water treatment facilities and their own roads. and if they're small and isolated too bloody bad. No one is going to build a road to a 300 person hamlet in the middle of nowhere if it's full of white people. White communities pay for their own water. Bullshit. The abuses were roughly the same as inflicted on children in other schools at the time, especially poor kids, especially in boarding schools or orphanages or reform schools. Science experiments? What ass did you pull that one out of? Are you perhaps thinking of ones performed on white orphans in Quebec - the Duplessis orphans? Cruelty and lack of concern for individuals was widespread back then throughout the country and world. No one funds white health care or childcare but themselves. And guess what, if you're in a tiny town you better support yourself or else. How many tiny towns have any medical care within an hour or two drive? Pipeline companies pay for their own pipelines. Because there's profit in it. Any time the government helps it's in order to get back more than they give. What you mean is cringing, sniveling self-castrated leftists are desperately giving boatloads of borrowed money to assuage their guilt without a single brain cell wondering who is ever going to pay that money back as the debts mount. And as they insist on keeping natives out on their isolated reserves the natives drink themselves to death or commit suicide because there' no purpose in their lives and never will be.
  12. White people don't live where they want and never have. They live where there are jobs and where they can afford. And if there's no water they dig a well. And if that doesn't work they have to move. No one is going to help them by digging one for them. And how long are we to keep paying billions for hundreds of thousands of natives to sit around on their asses doing no work? Forever? What's the end game here for you liberals? Do you want us to turn the country over to them and live as serfs? Would that finally assuage your guilt?
  13. So let's talk about Shoal Lake reserve #40. This is another thing you won't read about in the mainstream media. Shoal Lake is in Manitoba and has a population of about 300 people. The government built a $30 million dollar road to the reserve recently. Previous to that it was only accessible by ice roads or in the summer by ferry from Shoal Lake #39, which charged them hefty tolls. The federal government spent $100k per person to build the bridge, or about $400,000 per household. Now they've also spent $33 million for a water filtration plant to please EastCanada90. There is already a water filtration plant at nearby (half a mile) Shoal Lake #39 but the natives refused to share. They also refused the offer to dig individual wells for each house. They knew this government would do whatever they wanted and it gave in just like they expected. This kind of crap is going on in tiny reserves across the country, billions wasted on tiny hamlets where no one works or ever will except for the band council.
  14. Yes, it IS right wing media. Because you won't read such things in the mainstream media. But the most relevant points are straight from government and school documents on how the deaths occurred.
  15. Is English your second language? I didn't say there hadn't been abuse. I pointed out the recent hysteria was over finding graveyards - even though we knew they were there before anyway. There was abuse in ALL schools back in the day, especially boarding or residential schools. Abuse by teachers and other staff and abuse by older students. These were the days of 'spare the rod, spoil the child' after all. Corporal punishment didn't get phased out in Canadian schools until the 1970s and even 1980s. The graves weren't hidden. Everyone knew they were there. Except, apparently, the ignorant, which includes the mass media. Try a little reading. https://tnc.news/2021/07/12/six-things-the-media-got-wrong-about-the-graves-found-near-residential-schools/
  16. It seems even Obama gets censored if he says the wrong thing and it offends the progressive media agenda. ABC news did a big interview with him which played on Good Morning, America. One part they edited out was where he said open borders were unsustainable. "Immigration is tough. It always has been because, on the one hand, I think we are naturally a people that wants to help others. And we see tragedy and hardship and families that are desperately trying to get here so that their kids are safe, and they're in some cases fleeing violence or catastrophe," Obama told co-host Robin Roberts in the excluded portion on Tuesday. "At the same time, we're a nation state. We have borders. The idea that we can just have open borders is something that ... as a practical matter, is unsustainable," he added. https://www.foxnews.com/media/abc-excludes-obama-criticism-open-borders-televised-portion-interview?utm_source=ground.news&utm_medium=referral
  17. No one found any 'abuse' the last few months. All they found were old graveyards where residents of these old schools were once buried after dying from various communicable diseases. You can wrap yourself in shame all you want. I feel none. Canada acted way better than most nations of that time. Why? They don't work! Most of these little reserves only have a few hundred people on them. They wouldn't even exist if they were white because white people wouldn't locate a town in areas with no economic reason to exist. And if there was one, and there was many, when the economic reason disappeared, people would leave for a better life elsewhere. We're spending a fortune to provide services to these tiny hamlets we don't for anyone else. We recently paid $33 million to provide a complicated filtration system for a reserve with 400 people living on it. And like other such filtration systems we have built in the past, it was turned over to the band council. No doubt it will fall apart in a year or so from lack of maintenance, just like all the others have. The courts are very left wing and stopped caring about law some time ago.
  18. This kind of thing happens regularly, at fairs, at shopping malls, and on city streets. It's always gangs of dozens and sometimes hundreds of Black 'youths' but the race is NEVER reported by anyone. Just like the numerous brutal attacks on Asians were largely ignored unless the media could find a white man to blame. During the entirety of the BLM riots over more than a year with the media constantly tsk tsking about 'racism in the police department' no one ever actually demonstrated that racism, nor ever mentioned the disproportionate death toll among Black men at the hands of police was because of the hugely disproportionate violent crime rate among black men.
  19. Sick of the incessant whining from natives. Go get a job!

  20. One can accept that one's country did not always act with propriety and justice in the past without veering over into sniveling shame and guilt-mongering the way the wretched Trudeau Liberals and much of the liberal left have done. Did Canada treat natives (and others) poorly in the past? Sure. So did everyone. It was a different world with different moral standards based on more of a hand-to-mouth existence for most. No, it wasn't genocide. Not even remotely so. No, I feel not the slightest shame. No, I won't wear orange nor get down on my hands and knees and lick the feet of every native the way Trudeau and the progressive left is doing. The whole residential schools thing is wildly overblown, based on the vast, towering ignorance most Canadians have of history. We have fourth rate teachers being paid first rate wages to indoctrinate children in progressive virtues instead of teaching them about things like history. Thus they're open to the hysterical nonsense our lazy, third rate progressive media puts out. Lots of people died back in the day as diseases ravaged the nation. More died in a large, residential building, obviously, as these diseases spread most easily in such places. But that is something not known at the time. The situation with natives in this country is an absolute mess, exacerbated by the brainless left who want to keep the natives as dime story Indians living on isolated reserves with no future and no economic means of survival. The only way this ends is to close down the reserves and incorporate natives into the rest of the nation. Not something likely to happen under a prime minister who denies Canada even IS a nation, and who would gladly give it back if he could - then retreat to his homeland, which he thinks definitely is a nation: Quebec. Until then, the corrupt native rights industry will continue to do its best to shame and extort money out of bleeding heart liberals, who don't even dare ask what it's being spent on as natives live in poverty. You want reconciliation? Close down the reserves and get rid of the Indian Act. That's the only way it happens. And that's the truth.
  21. True. I think they have to look into who gets to decide such things. Is it a matter of national regulations or local councils who don't want big dirty trucks in their towns overnight. I don't know enough about the difference in how truckers are treated in France, Germany, Spain, etc. vs the UK.
  22. I've remarked before about the similarity between the dishonest, narcissistic phony Justin Trudeau, and the dishonest, narcissistic phony Donald Trump. And one of the ways I'm thinking they're similar is that like Trump, Trudeau will be smiling inside with delight at getting help in elections from a government hostile to his country. I expect him to do nothing whatsoever about this, much as Trump never attempted to do anything about Russian interference helping his campaign. But it shows have dictators do their best to ensure western countries are led by pliable weaklings they can control. There is growing evidence that for some voters, foreign matters played a key role, not due to personal preference, but foreign interference. And that interference had a direct impact on votes, seat count, and the shape of the 44th Parliament. It started on August 25, when Chinese ambassador Cong Peiwu implied that Conservative leader Erin O’Toole preferred to advance the Conservatives’ “political interests” over our country’s relationship with China. Cong added that his country would oppose “hyping up issues related to China or smearing China.” Suddenly, Chinese language social media platforms such as WeChat were rife with falsehoods smearing Conservative candidates, even suggesting that the party was planning to ban WeChat itself. Websites attacking Conservative candidates, including Kenny Chiu, Alice Wong and Bob Saroya sprang up. All three held ridings with a heavy concentration of Chinese-Canadian voters, and all three lost their seats to their Liberal opponents. This disinformation appears to have had the desired effect. Quito Maggi, president and CEO of Mainstreet Research, noticed a shift in the preference of Chinese-Canadians early on. Forty-three per cent said they’d vote Liberal, while 25 per cent picked the Conservatives and 24 per cent backed the NDP. “More than two-thirds … supporting non-Conservative candidates was highly unusual,” Maggi said. While some observers believe Chinese Canadian voters switched their vote due to anti-Chinese prejudice, or out of personal concern over the Conservatives’ stance on China, the size of the swing alone suggests that something else was at play. https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/tasha-kheiriddin-liberals-must-demand-probe-into-any-china-election-meddling/wcm/c6f20fd0-8495-4edd-b3b5-2eb49536124b
  23. Found this on Ground News. Interestingly, no left wing media are covering it at all. Also interestingly, just to show you that the media embargo on describing race extends across all media, neither FOX nor Brietbart will describe the vandals/brawlers causing the chaos by any other words but 'young people' or 'teenagers'. Not even they dare to say the word "Black". As in, "Black youths brawled and assaulted people and smashed cars and equipment." But hey, they will show you the videos so you can see for yourself. The left wing media ignore the story completely. Just as they do other, similar stories of similar violence sprees which erupt on a regular basis in the US. Chaos and violence break out at Maryland Six Flags, police launch investigation Videos shared on social media show teenagers assaulting each other and vandalizing vehicles https://www.foxnews.com/us/six-flags-america-implements-changes-following-weekend-chaos?utm_source=ground.news&utm_medium=referral
  24. On the other hand, they were right. There was such a plentiful supply of poor eastern Europeans the trucking companies made the jobs so crappy no one else would take them. And all the pristine towns and cities turned up their noses at the thought of a truck stop or letting trucks park free anywhere overnight, which made the job suck even more. Without any foreigners the companies would have to raise wages, and local towns and councils would have to find places where truckers could sleep for the night or they'd refuse to drive there.
  25. This is what I've read. It's easy to be a truck driver in other parts of the EU. In the UK there isn't even a place to park your rig and sleep for the night unless you want to pay a ton of money. Most towns have nowhere you're even allowed to pull over and park for the night, much less a place where you can get something to eat and a shower. There are tons of rules and regulations, costs and fees, and the trucking companies have lowered the wages to the ground back when they could attract desperate Europeans from the likes of Poland and Romania which caused the professional British truck drivers to quit in disgust.
