North Island–Powell River Conservative MP Aaron Gunn is warning that governments regularly making land acknowledgements threatens the bedrock of Canadian society: private property rights.
This is Canada. We are all, like it or not Canadian, including the indigenous. The land acknowledgements are just another ridiculous program put into place by Justin to show fake reconciliation. What are we reconciling for? Canadian taxpayers have been financially supporting the indigenous for over a century. We have been building their homes, schools, supplying them with food, heating and education. Because of Justin’s “ reconciliation “ attempts, the indigenous have run with it and now feel entitled to more. It is time for them to show their appreciation for all that the Canadian taxpayer has given them and move on.
It is time to release the Indian tribes from the shackles of generational welfare based solely on race. Once the money is removed the Indian prob lem will go away and the Indians will learn to thrive on the great land reserves held in trust by the federal government. Over 150 years of one way reconciliation is enough. The billions of dollars spent on keeping Indians alive since Sir John A MacDonald is sufficient payment for any real or imaginary harm that may have occurred in the past. FYI, I live on Rez
"Government bodies, universities and public institutions often begin meetings and events by recognizing the traditional territories of Indigenous nations."
Curious that these very same institutions were the first prizes captured by maoist-marxist ideologues.
Land acknowledgements are but an inventive strategy of pseudo-nationalists, atheists, Christophobes, neo-communists, deconstructionists, and those suffering from Stage-4 advanced Colonial Settler Obsessive Compulsive Guilt Syndrome. These same people are among the most unhappy people you will ever encounter on this worldly journey, hopelessly addicted to a plethora of causes, protests, empty virtue, MSM, and Hockey Night in Canada.
They undermine the rule of law and any kind of justice ... And almost all the profit will go to a few politicians and judges ... Thank you Aaron Gunn for speaking out
CTV News Vancouver broadcast a story last night that focused only on the mocking response of a 1st Nation spokesperson in a social media post that told Aaron Gunn to “chillax”. Typical of the MSM, there was no analysis of the core issues including:
1. What is the evidentiary foundation for the extensive aboriginal title claims (including the entire lower mainland by the Musquem and all of Haida Gwaii by the Haida) that the provincial and federal governments have unilaterally recognized and conceded? Are these claims being recognized solely on the basis of uncorroborated oral history by one party to the agreements?
2. What, if any, legal weight will the courts give to verbal and non-legally binding assurances that property rights are not at risk when the agreements themselves contain no such assurances? This question must be assessed in the context of the Cowichan ruling - which is the law in BC unless and until it is overturned and has expressly held aboriginal title is superior to and supersedes fee simple title.
3. Even if private property will not be turned over to 1st Nations, what kind of monetary compensation will be provided instead? (Private property in the lower mainland alone is valued at ~1.9 Trillion).
These are serious questions that require serious discussion, not talking points and vague promises “there’s nothing to worry about.” While Juno News and northernbeat.ca addressed these issues in a substantive way by interviewing aboriginal law experts such as Tom Issac and Geoff Moyes, the MSM as usual provides (at best) superficial if not misleading coverage. Anyone who relies on CTV, Global and (of course) the CBC’s reporting will be woefully ignorant of what is truly at stake.
If there is any consolation, it is the fact that CTV’s viewership is in the toilet and swirling fast. They are pretty much finished as a media source and would be bankrupt if not for the liberal handouts.
Of course they do. If you keep telling people that you stole their land, eventually they are going to believe it, true or not.
It is time to end the systemic racism that is codified by the Indian act and the reservation system. These were put in place 200 years ago and are no longer relevant and are now a deterrent to reconciliation and the future of First Nations people.
I would like to a knowledge the tenacity, sacrifices and hardships endured by the pioneers, and missionaries who brought Christianity, literacy, a common currency and technology to the North American continent.
What is the Liberal government trying to do with Canada. Trudeau started this fiasco and Carny is continuing with it. How does repeating a made up land acknowledgment prove reconciliation? I have not heard the statement so cannot comment on what it is supposed to mean.
