Thanks Deb for stopping in. Feel free to share widely. That’s how we roll…

I do feel optimistic today that there is a critical shift happening with humanity right now and hopefully we ride the crest of that wave to a new beginning.

So glad there are other people concerned about this. The level of ignorance among the public is truly disgusting. Agree completely about the mainstream media aiding and abetting the right in their quest to dumb us all down so they can impose their version of Canada without dissent.

We must work harder to fight back. Never give up. Thanks so much for this wonderful post today.

Priscilla, sad but true. Canadian’s in general need a huge reality check. I don’t see it happening without international pressure. But that pressure is beginning to come to bear fruit with Amnesty International, the International Criminal Court and the UN all investigating genocide.

Simon,that is beautiful.

“What a miserable
colourless boring country Canada would be without them. ”

The same sentiment applies to you Simon and your witty, pithy, truthy blog!

This is a great observation Kim. Over the holidays, I was shocked to hear Attawapiskat racist comments from several people (and on the Internet). I was shocked. I learned from a family friend that, in Germany it’s not legal to make any derogatory Jewish comment. BRAVO! The Germans seem to know that racism and genocide went hand in hand in WWII.

So, it’s legal in Canada, to make false statements about First Nations use of money – to make racist comments – even though we have a genocidal history against First Nations. And even though Canada has apologized for our residential school death camps, there is no law in Canada against blatant and hurtful racist comments aimed at these First Nation survivors. Surely this whole attitude has to change.

hi Kim….excellent post. I agree with everything you wrote. I’ve been stunned and deeply discouraged by the amount of anti-native racism I’ve seen in the last few days.
Those ignorant people need to learn about their country, and show more respect for people who may be poor, but are a priceless asset to this country. What a miserable
colourless boring country Canada would be without them. And they have so much to teach our greedy individualistic society about how to preserve the land for future generations. Oh well. I’ll try to think about how disappointed all those racists are now that Harper has had to agree to meet the chiefs. That should cheer me up…
