Mark Carney’s widely reported January 21 speech to global leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, was full of irony, at least according to an opinion piece by Niigaan Sinclair, a professor of native studies at the University of Manitoba and a strident indigenous issues columnist with the Winnipeg Free Press.
Once more, his chauvinism on all things indigenous was on display in his fanciful explanation of Carney’s words, a distorted and mythological rant about past and present aboriginal beliefs and behaviour.
