aanii. i’m tessa. i spend half my week tracking 1,000-foot ore freighters on lake superior, a quarter of it crossing the bridge into michigan for cheaper groceries, and the rest explaining to people from toronto that barrie is not northern ontario.

@KyleWingg @hughfuckinglass @NoLifeJordan69 many have tried to erase my people, none of be successful.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@lemickeyad1sney @NoLifeJordan69 Are you unaware of Canadian history back then?

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@thedripfed The Second Sino-Japanese War began in 1937 and ended in 1945. It became a major theatre of WWII. Starting before Germany invaded Poland doesn’t make it a separate world war. And when you run out of historical arguments, you resort to attacking someone’s identity. Telling.

@NocturneVoid88 @JoJoRiden @gordbouch @007_Hunter_ That’s not what happened. The Beaver Wars were a territorial conflict over the fur trade—not an attempt at "erasure." The Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi (the Council of Three Fires) allied together and defeated the Haudenosaunee in the 1690s, driving them out of southern Ontario.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@thedripfed Nope same war. Why are you so ignorant about world history?

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@NocturneVoid88 @JoJoRiden @gordbouch @007_Hunter_ Europeans tried to erase us already and failed.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@FortySacks So you’re saying all Chinese who live on mainland are CPC members?

😂

@Oswald21932852 @hughfuckinglass @NoLifeJordan69 Wrong country fucktard

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@hughfuckinglass @NoLifeJordan69 I’m not white, so it’s irrelevant to me.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@Oswald21932852 @NoLifeJordan69 Two things:

Thread is about Canada.

I am First Nations.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@hughfuckinglass @NoLifeJordan69 No one cares.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@lemickeyad1sney @NoLifeJordan69 Chinese have been part of Canada from the late 1780s but why did white kids blend in with we Indigenous?

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@PPC4Liberty Why don’t more white parents step up and make their kids join cadets ?

Why aren’t a bunch of lazy good for nothings?

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@MarcScottEmery Maybe more white folks need to step up and get their kids into cadets.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@JoJoRiden @gordbouch @007_Hunter_ That ignores thousands of years of Indigenous societies, trade networks, and governance systems that European settlers relied on to survive, navigate, and establish Canada in the first place.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@RocketPatriote @futureexpatCAN @JustmestoptheBS @realtintie4 In Canada there are three distinct groups.

First Nations

Inuit

Métis

Each group has its own separate system of legal recognition and registration.

Only First Nations people registered under the Indian act hold Status Indians.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@Phildepresse1 @RazAlavi9ksn @escapefrommelos Others existing doesn’t mean you can’t.

[Tessa @BoyerOnTheBay]

@RocketPatriote @futureexpatCAN @JustmestoptheBS @realtintie4 If they were Métis they’d know that Métis aren’t First Nations. Plus they’d capitalize it and spell it properly.
