Indegeneous Rights: Sir John A. And Cinservatives versus Pierre Trudeau and Liberals

 "...On the eve of the North-West Rebellion of 1885, Macdonald proposed to extend voting rights to Indigenous people — a measure that Canada wouldn’t adopt until 1960. “I hope to see some day the Indian race represented by one of themselves on the floor of the House of Commons,” he wrote to Peter Jones, a Mississauga Ojibwa chief and a personal friend of the prime minister’s. Liberal MP David Mills ridiculed the policy, arguing that it would allow Indians to “go from a scalping party to the polls.” Ultimately, Macdonald was able to enfranchise some Indigenous-Canadians, a right that was later taken away by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier.

Under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, the Liberals opened new residential schools, while pushing a white paper that threatened to eliminate Indian status. Why aren’t Canadians tearing down and cancelling his statues and removing his name from streets and buildings?..."

Trouble Ahead for Our Uninted Two Party NDPLiberals Government?

 "...Not quite six months after the Liberal/NDP deal was first announced, Singh’s decree highlights the fact that the NDP have derived shockingly little out of a deal that has effectively handed a majority government to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Officially known as the Supply and Confidence Agreement, the March 22 arrangement saw Singh pledge that his 25-member caucus would prop up the Liberals until at least 2025 in exchange for roughly $15 billion in spending promises. But the Liberals have yet to make progress on the core promise of the agreement:..."

Has the Election Campaign Started This Early for the NDPLiberals: The Most Outrageous Thing I'll Read All Day - Freeland Wants to Export Energy to Europe?

 The most outrageous thing I'll read all day. After cancelling and deliberately chasing away proposals, investment, and construction of pipelines and LNG plants (nevermind the lack of refineries we have in Canada), she can really say this with a straight face? 

Maybe she's thinking of bottling Canada's wind and sunshine to send over there 

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said her government has a “political responsibility” to help move Europe off Russian energy dependence.

Fourth Time Lucky: After Trudeau's Aimless and Bewildering Campaign Like Stops All Over Canada, He is Now "Vacationing" in Costa Rica...With Ethics Committee Approval

Canada's Immigration System and its Paradoxical Ways of "Diversity, Inclusion, Equity" (DIE)

 "...In a corporate plan for an anti-racist “systems change,” Canada’s immigration ministry says it isn’t fair to treat people equally regardless of background. Instead, people should be treated according to their level of innate privilege.

In other words, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has embraced critical race theory — or diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), as it’s called in practice — with a plan called Anti-Racism Strategy 2.0. It openly signals a shift to the ideological left..."
