Witnessed this cultural phenomenon myself. 1986, working in Attawapiskat, I noticed young kids, maybe 8 or 9 walking around with rags pressed to their faces. Asked my boss about it, he said they were “huffing” gasoline to get high. I was shocked!
My time on the coast exposed me to a people who lived an impoverished life, devoid of hope. They clung to their “noble savage” identity but had long ago given up that life. They existed in a self-imposed apartheid valuing nothing that could improve their lives; education, work, goals. This condition continues today except now residents on the reserves are banished, without charge, trial, or legal representation, to southern municipalities that do not have the funding to support teen/young adult fentanyl addicts. These unfortunate people have been tossed to the curb the way reserve residents empty their night buckets in the ditch.
Apparently, Every Child Matters.
BC Teachers’ Council added a standard compelling teachers to “value” just Indigenous culture.
Yet in Nunavut, for example, Inuit children are 10 times more likely to experience sexual assault.
Teachers should value all children, not all cultures.
“Health Canada historical data indicates that roughly 1 in 5 (20%) Indigenous youth reported having tried or used solvents (e.g. gasoline, glue, and propellants) at least once in their lifetime.”
Is it better to ignore the problem and spend our time glorifying their culture?
Watch painted “Aboriginal” Aunty Lisa dance and sniff gas.
Her response to critics:
“I apologise to absolutely nobody. This is comedy. If you can't make jokes about certain people or things then that is a form of privilege and hierarchy.”

@ztisdale Astonishing that Canadians thought the two countries were in any way comparable after 1812.
The USA thrived by throwing off the British Empire and Canada languished clinging to Britain. As Britain withered Canada declined in lock-step.
🚨BREAKING: SPECIALIST DOCTOR SAYS HENRY NOWAK COULD HAVE LIVED IF NOT FOR POLICE
In summary:
- Henry was alive when they arrived and likely clotted
- Aggressive police intervention likely tore clot
- Major Trauma department was minutes away from scene
- Judge and Pathologist were FAR TOO LENIENT on Police
- Henry Nowak had 50% CHANCE to survive
- Absolutely convinced that if he arrived in hospital alive he would have survived
This is disgusting, the family deserve justice
Full breakdown below:
Dr Krzysztof Magier [@DrMagier] based in the Isle of Wight is a qualified Paediatric Care Lead and part of the 'Critical Care Network' with experience in combat medicine training and a specialized course in treating severe injuries (including gunshot and stab wounds) has analysed the footage and claimed the AGGRESSIVE Police intervention may have contributed towards Henry's death.
Dr Magier DISAGREES with the pathologist's and judge's opinion that Henry Nowak had ZERO chance of SURVIVAL.
As well as the claim that handcuffing him essentially changed NOTHING.
In fact he claims the REVERSE IS TRUE, there is a high likelihood that the police intervention CONTRIBUTED TO HENRY'S DEATH.
He analysed the autopsy report, which points to DAMAGE to the subclavian vein as the main source of BLEEDING.
In a healthy person, venous bleeding occurs under low pressure and often self-limits thanks to the NATURALLY FORMING CLOT, while simply approximating the wound edges and compressing the surrounding tissues closes the vein enough to slow or even stop the bleeding.
The body camera footage shows that when police arrived on the scene (likely 5-10 minutes after the injury), Henry was CONCIOUS ENOUGH to speak LOUDLY.
He was therefore NOT YET in a terminal state.
After his arms were twisted behind his back and handcuffed, the vein was most likely STRETCHED, the clot TORN, and BLEEDING DRAMATICALLY INTENSIFIED.
Within just about three minutes, he lost consciousness and DIED.
People with suspected internal injuries should NEVER be moved or yanked abruptly, such actions can destroy the natural clot and lead to massive internal hemorrhage.
Instead of immediately calling a medical rescue team and handing the patient over to paramedics, the police ARRESTED HIM.
If paramedics had arrived first on the scene, Henry’s chances of survival would have been MUCH HIGHER.
AS HIGH AS "50%"—writes Dr. Magier.
Paramedics could have quickly started an IV, administered fluids to increase circulating blood volume, and tranexamic acid to stabilize the clot, and if needed, performed needle decompression (inserting a large, long needle into the lung), because the issue wasn’t so much lack of lung function, but compression of the blood-filled lung on the heart and mediastinum, which blocks circulation.
Worse still, the incident took place just a few minutes' drive by car (2–3 minutes by ambulance with sirens) from Southampton University Hospital—a regional MAJOR TRAUMA CENTRE equipped with a full team of specialists, procedures, and equipment.
"I AM CONVINCED THAT IF HENRY HAD ARRIVED THERE ALIVE THE DOCTORS WOULD HAVE NOT LET HIM DIE"—writes Dr. Magier.
The aggressive police intervention, instead of saving a life, led to death through improper handling of a severely injured person, even though world-class care was just minutes away. "I fear the Judge and pathologist were too lenient toward the police"
Findlay: “I think I heard a Liberal cabinet minister say there’s 72 (genders).”
No Liberal did. 72 is the number of virgins a Muslim martyr is served in Paradise.
But Liberal Rob Oliphant criticized Pierre Poilievre for saying there are only two genders.

We pay senators up to $292,520 a year, and 32 of them voted to put people in jail for countering residential school lies.
Trudeau appointed 100 senators, 13% Indigenous.
@LorraineBrett20@preta_6@cawsbar Illuminating! Is there a single department in the Canadian government that possesses even a modicum of common sense?
The notion that a female guard would have to strip search a male (trans) prisoner is preposterous.
