Trump's Manifest Destiny:

So many are confused about what Trump is doing with Canada right now.

I'm not.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Wab Kinew just told Carney: "It's time to abolish the Indian Act."

Not a Conservative.

An NDP premier.

A FIRST NATIONS LEADER holding up his own status card.

He said it identifies him as an "Indian within the meaning of the Indian Act."

He said Canada should no longer have a "race-based form of identification."

He said it at the first meeting of Ottawa, the premiers and First Nations chiefs in two decades.

AS A FATHER TO 3 FIRST NATIONS KIDS, I AGREE.

ABOLISH IT FOR GOOD.

No more race-based laws or land giveaways.

WE ARE ALL EQUAL.

The ball is in Carney's court.

150 YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH.

[Darcy McNeil @DM4444]

@glennbeck Moron. They had it 9 years ago

[Darcy McNeil @DM4444]

Agreed

[Charles Adler @charlesadler]

Most people in the public eye become footnotes of history. A handful make history. Long after we're all gone, Canadian students will be learning about Manitoba Premier @WabKinew

@TerryGlavin @geoffmeggs Do you think it was necissrry then?

Premier-elect Doerkson had a good line when asked about this the other day: "what has it done?" Because I think it's pretty obvious that DRIPA hasn't really done anything for anyone in BC except make some lawyers richer while throwing land property rights into doubt.

[Darcy McNeil @DM4444]

@JJ_McCullough I agree

[Darcy McNeil @DM4444]

@BongSim_Psy I want to keep hearing your thoughts, sir.

[Bong Sim @BongSim_Psy]

Wab Kinew held up his status card and said abolish the Indian Act. “Nothing to lose but your chains.”

Treaties stay. Section 35 stays. Nationhood stays. New law still needed, negotiated with First Nations governments.

Drop the card. Keep the dual system: treaty duties, consultation rules, separate funding, distinct governance.
Not one set of laws for every citizen.

ISC spent ~$26.5B in 2024-25. On-reserve employment ~47% vs 74%.

What stays? What powers stay? What measurable results, by when?

@acoyne …as one from BC that has spent some time on reserves, that is not true. Not everyone.

WAR Declared By BC's Indigenous If DRIPA Is Repealed- Which Was Promised By The BC Conservative Government.

@WabKinew @AndieWinnipeg Here here. It was created with a tainted spirit, and that spirit had poisoned all relations ever since.

Start fresh, start clean. Design the house that maintains healthy productive relationships for a future that we can all be inspired to get behind

@MelissaMbarki Root out the evil at the core. The Indian act was not designed to empower First Nation culture, it was designed to repress and even destroy it.

Clean the slate. Infuse a new design with an inspiring spirit for the future

[Dominic Cardy 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🇹🇼 @DominicCardy]

From the sane left to the sane right this should be a democratic thread that binds us all:

End race-based ID in Canada. Abolish the Indian Act. Yes, replacing it will be hard. But this is the time to do hard things.

This is brave. And right. I hope Canadians support the Premier

[Darcy McNeil @DM4444]

@hardyrenos It’s a sign of a sophisticated political culture. Different purposes for different levels.

[Ellie Leonard🇺🇦 @RedPencilScript]

On the tail of today's report, this is another 14-year-old who was brought to Donald Trump. She has 6 FBI interviews (302s) and was recruited from Interlochen Music Camp in Michigan.
