Wow , you are definitely part of the problem , no empathy what so ever .
Look at these children’s faces .. can you imagine the horrors of their daily life ? I don’t think you can . Your comments scream “angry white man “
Here is the thing... When one interprets the world with privilege or entitlement, the person looses his mind. Sometimes, we become too angry at the injustice that happened to ourselves that we say things so selfish and disgusting without realizing it.
After George Floyd's murder, Black folks in the states are so enraged that one of them gave a ridiculous comment: "Nobody has suffered more injustice than Black people in the United States." Which, given the fact that the indigenous peoples in the US have also been mistreated historically, is entirely false. And the comment obviously outraged the Indigenous communities and other minority groups in the states alike.
Looking at what this guy uses to back up his argument: tragedies in Rwanda. And openly admitted: "I don't care about the Aboriginals in Canada." A person who admits such things doesn't care about any injustice at all except his own. He only cares about tax money injustice because it affects himself. I don't think he cares about tragedies happening in anywhere else in the world, he just uses them to disguise his own selfishness and hate. Not to mention being manipulated to pay more tax money and innocent lives being taken away are not to be compared on the same level.
A person who sincerely cares about human rights will not try so hard to diminish any human rights injustice. It is irrelevant to bring up another human right injustice in a conversation focused on this particular one. I am trying to make an objective point here, which is that this is not about who suffers the most. For God's sake. When one speaks about their pain, shut up and educate yourself if you are not well aware of it already. It doesn't matter what race you are, white, black, Asian, Latin, Aboriginal, we should fight for each other's justice instead of whining about our own pain and diminishing others. That's all I have to say.

I blocked 80 watts,the guys handle is fitting as he doesn't seem much brighter than an 80 watt generator. He's full of a lot of hate bordering on narcissistic .
So are you saying that all old white men are racists? If you are. I don’t agree with you...but I defend your right to say it. Just as I don’t agree with him, either. But I also defend his right to say it!
Maybe because I stated facts. You don't like the way I interpret them. Because its against your world view. I don't hate Aboriginal people, I just said they should pay taxes on land and income tax.
You should reread this whole post. Look at the facts. Don't jump to conclusions.
Is my bullshit the same thing for a different name like "lies"? What lies am I telling?
Are you going to wait for a coroner's report too. To see what the kids actually died from? Or you just assumed the 215 kids were killed in an injust manner?
You should pay them taxes.
They had the land before you did.
You are squatting on their land.
Damned freeloaders!
No. I don't hate the Aboriginal People. I do think they should pay land taxes and income tax though...
The tax thing makes me laugh. We lost absolutely everything, we're beggars in our own land. I get a kick out of people like 80 watts thinking life is like Nirvana on the reservation where everything is free and every Indian has an offshore bank account. When the reality is my own reservation doesn't have potable drinking water,that they have to boil there water to make it drinkable. Chris Rock said it best" I'm a black millionaire and the most dirt poor cracker still wouldn't trade places with me."I think the injuns tax bill is free and clear considering the circumstances. And by the way,I've worked my entire adult life and paid every tax that everyone else pays And since we've signed our treaty ,there are no more tax free perks such as gas or smokes or tax free shopping in stores situated on reservations. The only way a native doesn't pay any tax is if that native lives and works on reserve and there aren't many jobs or housing for that matter. Many people move off reserve because there isn't housing available and even if a native wanted to get a mortgage and build his own house on reserve,no bank on earth would give him a mortgage because they get scared away ,thinking that that person will default on their payments and the bank has no way of collecting. Very few people know this but indians weren't even considered people until 1961, they weren't allowed to vote or leave their reservation without permission from the Indian agent. Indians were not given the right of being innocent until proven guilty by a court of law because we weren't considered people. Many benefits given to every other Canadian were often denied to Indians,Freddie Prince, Canada's most decorated native war hero was denied veterans benefits that were given to every other Canadian that served their country. He died living in squalor as an alcoholic after heroically serving his country.
I'd rather they didn't shut down this thread. It's exposing 80 watts for what he truly is.There's been a lot of good dialog and other than 80 watts It's been respectful. Just do what I was did and click ignore for him,problem solved. He's basically a troll looking for attention.
This is very much an overheated thread that has gotten way off from the expressions of grief, disgust and anger at a historical tragedy. It would be good to keep it going at a much dialed down level and not have personal attacks.
Flicked on CBC just awhile ago and I see the RCMP are opening up an investigation into the Kamloops school. Google tells me there were 139 residential schools registered originally and more run by provinces and various churches. I believe this is going to get a lot more ugly and it will go on a long long time.

That's the thing he's the only one stirring the pot and getting everyone riled up. I learned to just ignore people like him.
