In the past few years, Canada has become obsesses with the idea of respect for the people who were living in the land when Europeans arrived. If you identified as a descendant of one of these groups, would you feel respected by the following?
Criminal Law
Here's an interesting reported legal development in Canada:
Sounds odd. You have to glance through the responses to the post to realize that the courts have reportedly adopted race-based criminal sentencing, straight-up.
You haven't noticed anything like this happening anywhere else, have you?
Residential Indian Schools
Caution: The guy who authored the tweet above wrote a book, The Scarlet Lesson "to describe what happens to school teachers who tell the truth" about the uproar concerning graves at church-run Indian schools in Canada. So it would be prudent to check out the details of the claim in this tweet.
However, you might also be interested in the close-mindedness of a "journalist" toward a university professor who helped write another book on this subject. Astonishing:
Private Property
You may want to check out the comments at Small Dead Animals. Here are a couple of them:
54.3% of land ownership in Richmond BC is Chinese folks, greatest percent in tier 2 Canada, that’ll be interesting! Fortunately this is Canada and they’ll argue over this until autumn of 2120
In typically weasel word legal speak, the ruling says that there can be aboriginal title and private land on the same ground and the Crown must resolve it which means that the tax payers have to compensate the grifters. If the robed shysters had ruled that aboriginal title was final, then they would have just ruled themselves out of a job as there would be no BC nor Canada because there was no legitimacy of Crown sovereignty. This is the end game of the grievance industry – White-pimp judges declaring the taxpayer-paid Chiefs as our new landlords.
So, will the Chinese landowners or the Native Chiefs hold more sway here?
Music
Hope you have something nice planned for this weekend.
