Year in review: hearing hard truths about First Nations farmers

[shtferbrains]

Your right.

At school the Metis used to tease us they had to walk to school like us but our friends with treaty got the taxi!
They all came from Cumberland House.

Just want to point out, he's Metis.

To separate Nations!

I went to high school with Judge Gerald Morin.
He got an Order of Canada recently.
Kind of the equivalent of knighthood and a Sir in front of your name.
Probably one of the most successful guys I know.
Nobody ever looked at Gerry as under privileged as he created his own image. Strong athlete who played multiple sports,good student who took stacks of homework home and always had the best looking girls.
Made his own success.
Will tell you it was hard work but he knew where he wanted to go.
In a recent interview he said he tells young kid in front of him in court;

"Stay in school, learn how to say a key word… ‘no’,” said Morin. “No, I have to study; no, I have to work on this project. Those are the messages the young people need.”

Ya, he was looking for a fight he never got.

chuck is the guy who believes the govt can do no wrong, now tells us the govt did wrong. The self own is incredible.

Really throws a wrench into the marxist way. Imagine the mental gymnastics at work there.

let the govt handle it, but there will be no reparations or private land back happening. Crown owns 90% of the country, let them give land back first.

CC:

You missed the point many have presented:

Personal Responsibility.

I can only change myself.

Therefore CC… by your example…. You can be a leader… and bring‘freedom’ to those people whom you can.

I am responsible for myself and my future.

Blessings and Salutations

The first step in reconciliation is understanding the history of what really happened to first nations and what is happening to them now.

Taking away their land, culture, dignity and independence was what happened.

They were purposely forced onto small reserves in many cases with starvation and planned dependence on the federal government.

Anybody who dosen't accept that past treatment has had a profund impact on the current state of first nations is in denial.

Its a shared responsibility to fix the current problems.

Happy Reading CC!

Good morning CC...

That humanity treats itself in unjust manners... is a given... from the decision to seek knowledge... and choose to disobey the creator of this universe.... evil has been present in our 'civilization'.

How each of us choose to treat other humans... and creation... is a personal responsibility... that after we die; we will be held accountable for.

Have no fear, CC; what we sow, we shall reap.

Because we are all personally responsible for our actions...

Let us, each one of us; because our creator insists that we are all equal and created in his image... choose to Love one another and each have the self-discipline to hate evil, be kind, love our enemies, and trust God to bring justice to humanity; when, where, and how our Creator chooses to.

I can only be responsible for my actions... let us each seek truth, billions of copies of the Holy Bible, are available... for those who choose to seek the Truth. Otherwise this discussion is pointless!

Blessings and Salutations

Maybe its the natives that should be giving the land back
