This isn't fake news.
And do not believe Premier Justin Trudeau's claim of "genocide"...a ridiculous term to use.
He's too gullible and immature to know what genocide really is.
The story in the Calgary Sun took guts to write.
And to publish.
Here it is:
Calgary
Sun article tells some staggering truths and historical facts
... AND NOW GREY AND BRUCE COUNTIES ARE BEING SUED FOR $80B AND THEY WANT UNDERWATER LAND RIGHTS TO PART OF LAKE HURON.
This was published to provide information about those who stand against pipelines.
If you were wondering why aboriginals always want an inquiry into anything and everything they can dream up, just think of free hotel stays, free food and incidentals, not to mention the bar fridge that gets stocked up every day in their rooms.
This Calgary Sun article tells some staggering truths and historical facts.
I will add one interesting fact - since 1946 the Canadian Government has spent
$3,300,000,000,000.00 - that is 3.3 TRILLION on Indian Affairs with NO RETURN on the investment.
This should be reading material for ALL Canadians. This article is absolutely correct. Some very interesting statistics for each individual to consider but anyone with a background knows this to be true already! The fact is that the bleeding hearts and vote mongering Politicians don't want the general public to know this, so let's spread it around!!
Judging from an article in The Calgary Sun entitled "Enough is Enough", a National Inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women is NOT what needs to be done and Harper was right in not pursuing this time wasting expensive suggestion supported by both the NDP and Liberals. Chief Ronald Morin of the Enoch band west of Edmonton is paid $750,000.00 per year by the federal government (YOU).
He spends winters at his winter home in Las Vegas, 4 car garage & swimming pool.
Not all the people in his band live like kings. Still every Chief of an Indian Band in Canada makes more than our Prime Minister. Harper brought in the "Accountability Act" so that these Chiefs would have to tell their band members and the rest of us where the money was being spent. It is the taxpayers' money and we have the right to know where all this money is going. One of Trudeau's first acts as Prime Minister was to throw out the "Accountability Act". If you were paying attention at all and did your research you would understand this tragedy, the real issues and what needs to be done to address them.
Some statistics:
•
According to the RCMP: Out of 6,420 missing persons in Canada 1,455 are women,
of those 164 are aboriginal.
• 88%
of murders of aboriginal women have been solved by police
• 89%
of murders of non-aboriginal women have been solved by police
•
Between 1980 and 2012 there were 20,313 murders in Canada.
•
6,551 of those victims were women and 1,017 of those were aboriginal women.
Here's
where it gets even more interesting:
• Almost
30% of the 1,017 aboriginal women were murdered by their husbands.
• 23%
were murdered by another family member.
• 30%
were murdered by an acquaintance.
• So,
only about 8% of aboriginal women were murdered by strangers.
More
statistics:
• 44%
of the family members and acquaintances who kill aboriginal women were drunk.
• 74%
of the murderers of aboriginal women are unemployed.
AND NOW
THE MOST SHOCKING:
• 71%
of the murderers of aboriginal women already had a criminal record.
• 53%
had been convicted before of a violent crime;
• 62%
had a history of violence with the specific murder victim herself.
Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos Indian Band is an excellent example of quality leadership, but no one (especially the media & government) ever talk about him and his people.
Here are the REAL issues:
1. Welfare. The billions of tax payer dollars that go to support aboriginal people, not only in living expenses but free education, free medical, no taxation, etc. has crippled them (as it has crippled many non-aboriginal Canadians for generations).
I would venture to say many of them have not worked a day in their lives.
2. Corrupt leadership who have no idea how to lead, manage, inspire or teach their people .... who take for themselves and their families and friends and are not accountable to anyone (as evidenced most strongly by Chief Theresa Spence in Attawapiskat.) and blame, blame, blame the Canadian Government.
3. Alcohol and drug abuse, gang violence .... all contributing factors in the crime rate on reserves, lack of parenting, family violence and poverty.
4. A two-tiered justice system that gives aboriginal offenders lighter sentences, or no sentences at all, allowing them back into their communities to continue to abuse the same aboriginal women again and again .... often resulting in death (as evidenced by the 83% who were murdered by their husbands, a family member or an acquaintance). If you want a National Inquiry .... it should be on this issue..
When you say "It is inconceivable that we, as a country, allowed this situation to continue" .... and "We urgently need to acknowledge the systemic aspect of this crisis instead of ignoring or dismissing it. " What are your intended solutions?"
A National Inquiry is not going to fix these problems!
Giving the aboriginals more of hard earned Canadian taxpayer dollars is NOT going to fix this problem! WHAT ARE YOUR REAL SOLUTIONS TO THE REAL ISSUES?
Let's get this straight.
This land does not belong to them and they never were a 'Nation'.
These people's ancestors did not just appear in North America, magically out of thin air one day 40 or 50,000 years ago. They came in waves across the land/ice bridge from Asia. What's more, these waves, in many cases, were not related groups of people. They came from various places around North Eastern Asia and were from different genetic strains. In other words, the "natives of North America" are not a homogenous group of people and more importantly...they are immigrants too. Like millions of immigrants today.
The idea that the "natives" were peaceful caretakers of the land or benevolent tenants couldn't be further from the truth. The various tribes right across Canada warred on each other constantly.
They were violent. Want proof? Ask the Hurons ... oh, that's right you can't. The Iroquois' wiped them out.
How about slavery that was rife among all the first nation tribes until the Europeans came and freed the slaves and put an end to this "valued cultural tradition". Is slavery peaceful and humane?
The idea that we "stole" this land from them is also ridiculous. A more technologically advanced and numerous culture invaded and conquered.
This is exactly what has been happening since the dawn of humanity all around the globe. To say we "stole" their lands is just plain wrong. That is akin to saying the Saxons should return England to the Angles. Or maybe we should launch a campaign to have the Roman descendants give Italy back to the Etruscans. It is a nonsensical notion driven by the politically correct bleeding hearts, some intellectually deficient politicians and pressure on the Government from lobbying groups. Also by the Indian people. It will continue to cost this country needless and wasted trillions until we get some backbone and turn off the taps.
Are these people in trouble? Yes.
Do they need help? Yes.
Are they responsible enough to look after themselves and efficiently spend the billions that tax payers give them? CERTAINLY NOT!
The only way to fix this situation is to bring them into society as equals. Getting jobs and paying taxes like the rest of us because in reality, they are no more special than any of the other numerous cultures that now call Canada home.
This article is so true and any of us that’ve lived among both reserve and non-reserve Indians know it—especially that taxpayer dollars have crippled so many of them. We should be helping them to help themselves instead. A pox on Trudeau who has no clue.
ReplyDeleteThis got to be one of the most racist things I've ever read filled with half truths, outright lies. Hey where's the Calgary Sun article BTW? It's referred to, but that's about it. Not to mention, why would the Calgary Sun publish an article regarding a land claim in the London, Ontario region? This post does nothing but to spread hate and stereo types. Lean any further right and you're going to fall over.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the half truths and lies you talk about?
DeleteIron fist have you ever lived by a reserve and seen what goes on?????I have you are needing to be re-educated.
Delete"Racist my BUTT - it is absolutely correct! How come tribes don't go after other TRIBES that killed their people and tortured them in the most unimaginable ways? Because they would get laughed out of the country! They go after us because we're STUPID!
DeleteI have said this for years the more we give these people the more they want, why dont they move to where the work is like I did and many more I know years ago I could have stayed home on welfare like some I know and become dependent on the gov. to look after me and my family I call it the lazy way out and nobody benefits from especially the one that is living off welfare, I would suggest to those people get up off your lazy asses and get a job like man should.
ReplyDeleteWhen my ancestors came to this land at the turn of the century, they asked for nothing, they got nothing except the right to buy a plow, a pick and a shovel. They learned how to build a country called Canada. How come no one ever mentioned how they came to survive, live and prosper, with willpower, sweat and blood. That is how nations grow, develop, gain respect. Our welfare system is the total ruination of any healthy, strong, proud, self disciplined person of any race, color or creed. Welfare should be only for sick, disabled, mentally ill etc. How can strong healthy individuals feel good and be proud if they only stand their with their hand out. Take a good look into the mirror and answer that question.
ReplyDeleteAGREE!!!
DeleteWell that is a racist "white"wash of colonization and government sponsored cultural genocide, or have we conveniently forgotten about residential schools. Without an actual source I'd say much of the "statistics" in this piece of hate fluff are made up. Indeginous people have much higher rates of incarceration than the rest of the population. One view is that it is because of who they are. Another view is that it is a result of systemic racism in our country. This article supports the latter.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to find out what the the children and others in the graves died of. TB was rampant and there was the Spanish flue that no one rally knew anything about. There were also numerous other deadly deceases around that speak quickly in close spaces and accommodations. Trudeau throwing money at the Native will do nothing to change the past.
DeleteWhat graves???? Not a single site has been excavated. What graves ???
DeleteInstead of poking each other in the eye with an angry stick why not propose some realistic measures that all people of this country can exercise and thereby deserve to called keepers of the land! For example:1. stop paying/taking welfare unless you are legitimately handicapped 2. work at something constructive/build or invent something useful to mankind 3. pay your fair share of taxes 4. if you make a mess/pollute clean it up! 5. talk with each other regularly/resolve problems/create viable systems to manage viable projects or industries based enacted by a majority vote basis. That’s just a starter kit but it would remedy 99% of our nation’s problems.
ReplyDeletewhere is the link to the Sun article?
ReplyDeleteI suspect this article. It is posted in 2017 on Facebook, in 2019 here and each time with no author. Who wrote it? Where is the link to the original article.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone consider that all the land that we live on was and in many cases still is Indigenous land? What is the value of the land and resoources? Are the Indigenous people getting value for that?
I find the "article" racist.
I'm sure some of the stats are wrong - for example, the number of missing Indigenous women is in the thousands, and it is irrelevant whether the RCMP accepts that number.
The problem started at the very beginning, with the government approved “reserves”, as part of contractual agreement. Living on a reserve does not offer any education, employment opportunities, or any activity to occupy one’s time. This resulted in poverty, abuse…sexually and otherwise….alcoholism, drug addiction, and loss of identity. It’s no surprise that the government has spent billions of dollars, and continuing, with nothing to show for it. To make it worse, Trudeau came along and canceled the accountability for the money they receive. The statistics are definitely close to being the actual truth.
