hot enough Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 12 minutes ago, Argus said: As I said in the OP, you can be damned sure that if native members of the military had interrupted a ceremony there would be no response from the government or military. These people did nothing illegal, Evidently, they did. Do you think the top military guy would be saying what he said if there wasn't a valid reason. I don't know myself but I suspect soldiers give up quite a bit to join the communist military in exchange for their brainless acquiescence.

DogOnPorch Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Again...the Mi'kmaq were at war with BOTH the French and British...who were normally busy fighting EACH OTHER. Both the French and British offered a bounty to OTHER NATIVE TRIBES to quell the Mi'kmaq. Only one scalp was officially turned in... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference here is that Trump and his supporters live in a nation with real free speech rights, not the limited, watered down version found in Canada. The "Proud Boys" find themselves on the wrong side of Canada's biased expression rights and the wall of political correctness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote My wife, Roberta, has a close friend, a writer, who is married to a professor. They are Jewish, and they have a “black lives matter” sign in their yard. As the sanctuary-cities bill, S.B. 4, was being debated in the capitol, an unsigned letter was left at their front door. It threatened the lives of their children, by name. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/07/10/americas-future-is-texas Nice free speech you have there. What state do you live in again ? Then again, you had better not answer or someone may track you down and burn a cross on your lawn... I'll take peace, order, and good government over tokenistic freedom any day.

Guest Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 The news reports I have seen on this, admittedly few, seem to say they interrupted a protest with one of their own - Nothing wrong there. They made their points peacefully - Nothing wrong there. Their points disagree with and upset some of the FN that were there - Nothing wrong there. I can't see what the issue is. The pathetic ferocity with which Canada's leaders have clambored over each other to denounce them is a little startling. And patronising, to be frank. If I were the FN involved, I would wonder if I were still at residential school. Never mind sweety, Mummy will fix it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess attack is in the eye of the beholder. Still, given the rabid response the actions of these sailors has been met with by people in positions of responsibility (and the call I heard today from a FN activist for some kind of restorative justice!?!?) it would appear the topic is not at all inane. The response to their actions certainly is, but sadly, it could have extremely non inane consequences. I do hope not. They did nothing wrong.

Wilber Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) One party turns up with the Canadian flag upside down with decolonize scribbled on it. Another party turns up with a flag that over 100,000 Canadians died defending and sings The Queen. Which party is in shit. Oh Canada.

Hmm twice in the same night I find your logic to be most disturbing. I have a rock that can protect you from bears. 20 bux and it's yours. Besides, children can be killed with many other things, I mean they are children, how hard can it be? I have to put the /sarcasm in because I know some of you dimwits will take that at face value.

The_Squid Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) The group that these people belong to are a bunch of alt-right racist bullies who feel the need to "stand up" to indigenous people... these people probably enjoy the fact that Gen. Cornwallis ordered the deaths of aboriginals. They have no place being in the military. Good riddance to them.

I am fully on board with someone not being allowed to be in the navy and in jail at the same time. Unless it's the brig. They did nothing wrong on the day in question, though. From the article, it appears they just upset and/or offended people, and there's nothing wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
