Why weren't the rail cops doing anything about it anyways? Aren't they a private police force, so don't need to DGAF about the politics of it?

The 'woke' crowd is mainly the mass media.

Look at the comments on most of these and its almost always the opposite. Even lefty CBC has articles about Turdman and the comments are 90% mocking him.

They are creating their own, false narrative.

Any news on that Fire at the CN building in Prince Rupert? Seems coincidental.

[mr2mike]

Not starting a new thread for this absolute ridiculousness.
But this has definitely been brought on by the group's previous actions.

[vengie]

I hear all of Alberta, Sask and BC is US indigenous land as well.
The US should totally take it back to show solidarity.

Hard to judge the validity of the specific situation here. However, it would not be surprising if two nations previously had overlapping territory, and if that territory didn't end at a line that wasn't even surveyed until well after the nations began dying of smallpox and rifles.

Borders aren't magic. They are basically just opinions, as we see in Europe and the Middle East.

No suggestions.

There is a treaty signed back in the 1800s(can't recall exact days) called the Jay treaty that specifically dealt with the issues of borders. It allows indigenous people to cross without issue or hinderance.

I remember this original court case and was curious how long it would take before they tried something like this. If your granted hunting rights, then healthcare/dental are next. Land claim at some point.

While slightly different but similar there are metis groups in Ontario who aren't actually metis who've been granted status by the Ontario govt. Lots of reserves out that way are now sueing the govt for handing out special status to groups with no historical indigenous history or ties to the land.

On a side note, the title doesn't really match the topic.

Defining "what makes a metis" is going to be massive in the next ten years.

If you think people are racist towards natives, wait until you hear what one of my redneck buddies calls "half an Indian".

This kind of friction is the natural result of identity-based government policy. Shit is going to get gross.

Except that some cultures wrote it down and made maps.
Verbally proclaimed land is hard to trace.

There's a professor Daryl leroux who's lead a lot of studies on people claiming indigenous heritage for special tax/health benefits. I've followed him for many years until he became pro hamas/anti Israel.

He outlines a lot of fake reserves out east, especially in the Atlantic and quebec. In some cases multiple founding members of different reserves have traced their heritage back to one lady in the early 1600s. Through all his studies he's found tens of thousands of people using this one lady to make the claim their indigenous. He thinks she's not even indigenous.

It's a major problem before but now that the govt of Ontario is granting special privileges to metis groups It's 100x worst.


On a side note, the Jay treaty was signed in the late 1700s which allows indigenous people to travel across the borders without issues.

76 billion owed now. An increase from 11 billion when trudeau became prime Minister.

2 trillion in liabilities from all the lawsuits happening today which is over 1100.

Just wait till they keep adding more and more metis groups and USA groups into the mix.

The NDP's Indigenous Services critic disagrees.

"It means that Canada is still implementing its genocidal policies," Nunavut MP Lori Idlout said.

"And it means that Indigenous Peoples are not putting up with it anymore."

The word genocide has lost all meaning. If Canada was implementing genocide, there would be no indigenous people left to complain.
