    This colonizer horse shit ignores the fact that the people you stole the land from are still here.

    Yeah, so I have relatives with first nation blood, so I won’t own your toxic comment.

    Where’s the repairations?

    Without knowing what you consider to be important, the Government of Canada has helped to fund quite a few projects to help our indigenous people: Healthcare, infrastructure, social assistance, clean water, trade, business and economic growth within their communities, etc.

    Hundreds of millions are spent each year to ensure that we do what’s right.

    We’ve settled land claims (with more to come), and have worked to protect first nation culture and languages.

    There’s always more to be done, and as I mentioned, Canada acknowledges that this is still a work in progress.

        Two questions:

        1. Are you in Canada?

        2. Are you/your people indigenous to land now within Canadian borders?

        That’s never going to happen. Various bands are not getting back land that now host large cities and infrastructure. You can rail against that injustice until your death, which will accomplish nothing, or you can try to find a way forward.

        And I say this as someone who believes that Canadian demographics are against you. The white guilt of colonization is quickly diluting into the pool of 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants who feel no guilt and have no connection to this questionable past. At that point nobody will care and your culture will be erased like so many others in the past.
