Someone pointed out, can even one Canadian even recite one line of our founding constitution?
We don't have a founding constitution, so Id find it odd if you could recite any lines yourself. If you mean the British North America act or the 1982 charter of rights and freedoms, yeah we have those.
There is no hope for Canada and you shouldn't hold your breath.
There's always hope, but yeah wouldn't hold my breath because that would require the liberal elite having a sudden realization that their lifestyle is built on the backs of cheap migrant labor scabbing out Canadians who couldnt make it into said elite and do something to change that.
My father's apartment complex smells like falafel and seasoned rice 24/7. Not even when food is cooking and it's not a good scent either.
I don't actually care about falafel or seasoned rice. I care more about unemployed Canadians as my first priority. Scent smelling good is irrelevant, if things were fine with the economy, Id be less inclined to say "fuck off, were full".
If you were told that Alberta was our last hope and you moved there only to learn it's the same shit you'd be pissed too.
Maybe if youre in Calgary, you said you went up North and it was different? Stay out of the big cities, but yeah- Calgary has tons of Indians.
However, those schools absolutely fucked up their whole history and it does play a big role in the sad state of affairs we find ourselves in.
Ill play the conservative historian here and point out, the choice was to either let natives fuck around and starve after the Bison died off/never learn English or French, never learn how to read, still be basically hunter-gatherers, etc, or to send them to the residential schools.
Something bemusing to me is when polled nationally, 50% of more Dutch are actually
proud of their colonial history. Theres an anti-colonial narrative, and while residential schools did have abuses and have faults (imo when you take someones kids, theres extra burden to care for them, because youre taking on the responsibility of a parent by forcefully taking them away), but the program itself wasn't wrong- just how it was mismanaged in certain cases.
How do you manage to teach kids from vast expanses of hundreds of kilometers to read and write, among other skills that they will need to transition into the modern world? You centralize a location and bring them into a boarding school.
They used their ethnicity to grift and lie about how hard and tough it was for them to grow up. They get money, fame, and constant interviews. Hate them, hate them with a passion.
Agreed, its standard liberal progressivism. They may be right and may have been overlooked for jobs, may not have the familial connections in industry or business to draw upon for references, internships, etc. But its the natives in remote regions without plumbing I give more of a fuck about, frankly. Otherwise, their plight is no more different from any other group mired in an urban center, all the bad that entails, independent of history.
I call this phenomena
Trickle Down Progressivism. 99% of the time, idpol and racial identity politics are used by the middle or upper middle classes to enfranchise themselves, and we somehow have the strange belief that if we are progressive to bourjie yuppie liberals, they, in turn, will trickle down some of that progressivisim to "their own communities" in rural Yukon, in the black ghettos, etc.
If stats prove anything, these people neither came from these communities to begin with, nor give back to them. Its the same thing you see with natives getting free college. Its not the natives living in the middle of UpYerMukLuk, but some urbanite who is about as native as Elizabeth Warren or as rich as a Casino owners daughter cashing in on that. Its why you should never take racial idpol stuff seriously. Who gives a fuck about "representation" on the board of Raytheon, why does it matter if 1/12 CFOs are black? When black people get rich, they dont open businesses or factories in the ghetto. For most racial groups, is that progressivism going to trickle down somehow? Dick chance. Their people are
other liberal urban yuppies, their grift is their race.
Nothing is actually even being done yet it's creating the most amount of buzz and press.
What can be done? Its a literal non-issue. Want to ask the government to close down the residential schools? Already done. The generation that actually died of measles in the 20s is already gone, this is an issue that is like slavery in the US, except its a bit more recent, but basically noone alive from when the actual "negligence" (I say that, because I do think the government failed in its responsibility to insulate these kids, but also tons of kids were dying of diseases in the 20s) occurred. Its all people who went into these schools in the 60s or 70s, when there wern't really any deaths. Yeah, your culture got defanged and you no longer live in a mosquito infested hut on the side of a river. Cry me a river, it does suck to get forcefully culturally assimilated, but its also definitely a grift. The issue is more that they got forcefully assimilated, learnt to read and write, and turns out- there were no jobs in rural Manitoba for them to even go to so they turned to alcohol.
As with many issues, it's all being overseen by evil satanic "rulers"
Q-anon esque
For fucks sake our government is going super in on the HOMOGLOBAL takeover
Inb4 called a liberal, touch grass, this is cringe facebook boomer take like "canadian founding constitution"
