Canadians reject the claim they live on "stolen indigenous land".

[blackbird]

"

A majority of Canadians reject the idea they live on stolen Indigenous land, and the older people are, the more likely they are to say they don’t, according to a new public opinion poll.

Among all respondents across Canada, 52 per cent said they did not live on stolen Indigenous land, with 27 per cent saying they do. The remaining 21 per cent said they didn’t know or declined to answer."

Canadians reject that they live on 'stolen' Indigenous land, although new poll reveals a generational divide

A higher percentage of people in the young age group reportedly think we live on stolen indigenous land.  That is a good reason why the voting age should not be lowered.  It appears they have been brainwashed, perhaps by the woke school system.  So lowering the voting age, would give more power to young people with irrational woke ideas such as the idea that liberals push that Canadians are illegal settlers and colonials and stole the land. 

The truth is FNs were made up of many bands that were scattered across north America and did not occupy the large areas geographic areas which they now claim as their "traditional territory".  So the claims by some FNs that thousands of square kilometers is their traditional territory is fictitious nonsense.  The claims are made to get more money and control over land out of government.  The BC NDP is giving in to many of their claims and is even beginning to shut down provincial parks so natives can hold so-called cultural ceremonies without the presence on non-natives.

So what? The majority is often wrong. More so when they're prompted with lies and hatred by people like you.

wow, Now that is the answer we expected from the left, ...As soon as you ask questions on topics they don't agree with they shout you down and start with the accusations....

Herbie reminds me of those chimps you see at the zoo, the grumpy ones that fling sh!t at anyone that gets to close...he is always angry, and always flinging sh!t

Oh FFS did the settlers BUY the land from tribes? Did they they negotiate or compensate for more than a little of what they took?

Well if you didn't BUY IT and it wasn't GIVEN then you STOLE it. Buy a f*cking dictionary.

[Venandi]

That simplifies things a bit...  sell your house, give the proceeds of the sale to the nearest Band Office and live in the car (or wherever).

Now all we need to do is count the Herbs onboard with the idea. 

So far I got none... you?

When you're simply unable to admit you f*cked up, it's even harder to admit your Great Grampa might have. And your Grampa didn't adress the f*ck up, and your Dad didn't and now you won't. Pass the same attitude on to your kids?

Or DO something about it. They are offering the chance to solve it, you're the one refusing to try.

On the contrary, land can and is "lost" by invasion, battle, conflict, agreements or subversion.

If no one fights for the land, the lose it. If they fight and lose the fight, it is then owned by the winner.

The majority are right in this case  the minority are wrong and possibly delusional.

Canadians have been paying them for decades, over and over and over again, when does it stop...

it stops when the government says it stops...until then we continue to pay...

this land was taken by force, or by treaty with the UK....had nothing to do with Canadians and yet we continue to pay....we did not steal anything...

Sorry, you need to talk to the british...you can't hold someone or antire different country responsible for the crimes of others....we've acknowledged those crimes justin has said sorry to everyone across the entire globe, it is time to move on....Time for the Native community to stand up on their own...like every other Canadian has had to...

Do what exactly  ? Canadians are not being held back it is the native community that seems ok with their plight , or like you said they would have done something about it...

Yup, and most native settlements were temporary.  Native bands invaded each other’s settlement areas and “stole” them.  The Northwest Coast Indigenous who did have permanent settlements were the biggest slave owners in Canadian history.  Of course you’ll never hear about that or the fact that free public education for Indigenous was a progressive cause in its day supported by the majority of Indigenous.  Why?  Because today’s public education systems are run by woke activists who want you to believe that Residential Schools were a system that people like them would never have supported, when in fact they would’ve been its biggest cheerleaders.  These are the folks now imposing race-based education, racist hiring practices, and gender ideology in schools.

"would" have been?  In fact, WERE.  They demanded it as part of their discussions with the king. 

Canada and John A had NO interest in it at all, but were forced to address it as part of the king's promise to the native people. 

And like every gov't he chose to deal with it in the cheapest and easiest way.  "The christians are already running a large number of schools, tell them we'll dump the issue in their laps and pay them a small amount per kid". 

WAAAAY cheaper than trying to send someone to every single tribe everywhere. 

But it was voluntary (another thing modern teachers like to forget).  And yet vast numbers of first nations people sent their kids. And their kids came home in the summers it's not like they never saw them for 4 years. 

Modern teachers would have you believe that John A passed the law because he hated first nations and then had soldiers go around and round up the kids and horse whipped them all the way to the interment camps residential schools.

Settling native issues is just too "woke" for you is it?
Well that's about the lamest thing yet, at least other's had objections based on reason.

As are mine for. It's time to settle what should have been done years ago, not put it off even longer.

Never, ever will there be a 'settelment' . . . Indians feed the 'cash cow' a hand full of straw, milk it forever.

You're a dreamer.

And by endlessly repeating the same BS, you're merely one f^cking bigot, a perpetrator of the problem

Settle what ? exactly....

Do we settle up with other races, what about the Chinese, or African Americans, or any other race we have upset or destroyed in our history...Do indigenous people pay for those that they have conquered or destroyed...how far back do we go....

stolen Indigenous land

12-part LPOC strategy:

1. divide
2. divide
3. divide
4. call everyone who disagrees with anything that they say "racist", regardless of what they're talking about
5. divide
6. claim to be the party of unity
7. divide
8. divide
9. call someone racist again, just to be on the accusing side
10. divide
11. claim to be the party of unity
12. give CBC and "select media outlets" enough taxpayer money to regurgitate all of their propaganda

Nobody even knows who you're talking to. I guess it's the weekend, your communication skills are going to shít already

Bill Maher has a great take on the land acknowledgments.  He says either give the land back or STFU.

[Shady]

 

[blackbird]

These land acknowledgements that are being made frequently by politicians are not wise.  It only provokes FN activists to demand more and the acknowledgements will be used by FN activists to make further demands and claims.  White man will be paying forever.
