Black Dog Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 49 minutes ago, I am Groot said: That was never the point of government policy towards them. First, government policy was to clear them off the land so it could be settled. That's when they were offered things to settle on other land. After that, the government found themselves locked into taking care of them. Yeah the government moved them to shitty land and ensured they were unable to be self sufficient and now people like you are like "buh how did this dependency happen?" 1 Quote America...."the worlds largest, best-armed shopping mall."-Ivor Tossell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExFlyer Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 (edited) 49 minutes ago, Black Dog said: In other words, you assumed that the only reason a person wouldn't be racist towards Indigenous people is because tehy are one, which is wild. You posted a bunch of irrelevant garbage to justify colonization and other atrocities. Indigenous people have contributed plenty but I know that no example i give you will be good enough because you would inevitably claim those are outliers and that the people as a whole are useless. LOL you clearly don't know the history of this country if you think that's how tit went down here. Here's a hint, google the treaties.  You said 40 generations, your website says 40 generations is 1065 years lol. The settlers literally gave the Indigenous people booze you numpty. Like I said, tough shit, that was the deal the Crown made. You're obviously and openly extremely racist against native folks. Just own it dummy. OK let's take a third of your kids away (assuming you have any) and give them to priests to r@pe, sound like a good deal to you? Nope, I read the tone and respond in kind. Nope, there was and is not anything irrelevant in my links. They are facts all historical. Your unwillingness to accept them only demonstrates your closed mind. They have contributed?? Please, cite examples. Valid contributions, not rhetoric or aboriginal verbal history. Canadian history was and is all written. When Canada became a country, they were kind enough to not wipe out the indigenous. This is more then the indigenous did to their conquered tribes. That kindness is carried on to today, 300 years later, and the indigenous have nothing but taken money and all they need since then. Treaties aside, the indigenous have done nothing to show they deserved anything. If left alone to fend for themselves, they would have eithe rintegrated or still hunting and trapping and trading and making clothing out of skins and using dog sleds. I would gladly give some land back but... cut you off everything else. Sort of making them shit or get off the pot and hopefully , getting off the pot LOL Reading comprehension seems to be problematic for you. I said "What have you done for Canada in the past 300 years???? " But regardless, you have not done anything or contributed anything be it 300 years, 40 generations or 1065 years. You want booze, you take it...and that does not matter who you are. I take booze but am not an alcoholic or drunk. Like millions upon millions of others. Poor excuse for being a lazy drunk. Every addict has an excuse...boo hoo, it ain't my fault...numty LOL As I have said numerous times, I am no racist at all, I am realist. The last resort of people that have no proof is to call others names. And you have no proof of any of your comments, claims or accusations. Get over it, less than 1/3 of the kids went to residential schools and Canada has certainly paid them a lot of money plus whatever support they want.. You, if you didn't go,deserve diddly shit.

No, it's quite obvious to me and well documented. But we STILL have massive amounts of room for expansion there, and the first nations were never concentrated there. Soooooo ... kinda blows your theory out of the water  Quote The fur trade era was ending by the time of Confederation; the main driver of government policy vis a vis the native population at that point was the railroad and Western settlement. No, the fur trade was still at it's peak in the mid 19th century. it would decline later in the 19th century but it was still a major factor especially for the fathers of confederation. And at the time there was as mentioned tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of land. And further much of the issues around how the first nations would be treated was dicated by previous agreements with various kings, who had to sign off on Canada being confederated at all. we didn't need the land for settlement. And considering that a number of the reservations were right in prime land then your argument makes even less sense.  Read a book once in a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime I remember Ottawa's scientists from DFO closing our local hatchery because it produced so much fish it kept local boats and plants busy for months. They literally said they didn't want yet another commercial fishery to manage. I was there at the meeting when they said it. Notwithstanding asbestos I think a better more appropriate management path would be one that weaves back and forth closer to the middle.

Where are the official declaration and surrender documents that cede and extinguish indigenous title to traditional lands to our forces? Invaders needed those back in the day to support their claims against competing claims from other would be invading empires and colonial powers rampaging around the planet. It's like claiming seabeds and other chunks of the world that remain in contention today - there's evidence to support the claim. Simply wading ashore, planting a flag and calling it a done deal was a romantic notion even hundreds of years ago.
