It has been asked of me whether I see systemic racism in Canada and I do.

This will be a thread, "I see it..."

[George Nelson @gnelsonII]

Exactly. The civilized ones don’t seek revenge for anything.

The uncivilized ones go immediately to revenge, vitriol and hatred for something as simple as being held accountable by words on social media.

Repealing DRIPA in BC does not end:

-Aboriginal land title claims
-Treaty negotiations
-hunting and fishing rights

These are Section 35 Canada rights, that can’t be ended in the BC legislature

The Indigenous Vote.

[George Nelson @gnelsonII]

This will no doubt get buried in the algorithm but it’s a fact now.

The Indigenous Vote mattered to that referendum and it shows.

Turns out they do need our vote after all.

[George Nelson @gnelsonII]

If the Alberta Separatist Question proved anything at all, it isn’t just how wrong/delusional white entitlement is…that’s already known.

It’s that we now have real world data on what The Indigenous Vote can actually do.

Parties/politicians can no longer dismiss us. #represent

The end times being their place in government and governance.

They face being out of a job but conflate it to Armageddon level catastrophe if they aren’t allowed to stay in “power”.

[George Nelson @gnelsonII]

@Joyhenderson78 For real. Using only their colonial context, they attribute and project their greed and wanton ego on us. Guess they’re trying to normalize the behaviour?

[George Nelson @gnelsonII]

Instead they simply set up a biased, systematically racist system of government and kill people for centuries.

Being all civilized and such.

You never see Christians hijacking a plane and yelling "Praise Jesus" as they try to kill everyone on board.

As this story goes viral, it's my responsibility as a residential school historian and expert on denialism to point out: the evidence about large numbers of child death and unmarked burials at residential school is already freely, publicly available: https://t.co/yKLstzEJwg

The “only two genders” folk getting OWNED by…

Oh lookit that, common sense! 😂

@deltapolice what aren’t you telling us ?? #Tsawassen

[George Nelson @gnelsonII]

@Bratt_world The medical emergency is one of three things:

1. Being proven wrong.
2. White sensibilities.
3. Needing attention.

No wait, those are the same thing.

There’s no need to mention the affliction that these three symptoms all point to seeing as they themselves cannot, will not.

“We must become one. We must walk down a path of reconciliation from now on. Together and forever”. 

Gord’s speech, 10 years ago, at an @AFN_Updates gathering in 2016.

1996.

It's not ancient history - that's the year the last residential school closed in Canada.

September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - we hope you'll take a moment to read about the history and legacy of residential schools. https://t.co/rOZ3weknOw

[George Nelson @gnelsonII]

The only irrelevant thing is jonnyboy here.

He knows that there is more than one “school” and pretty much all 130 of them had gravesites.

He tries to tie arsons of churches where records were kept to reconciliation but c’mon.

Records are evidence. Destroyed in a fire…

[Jonathan Kay @jonkay]

at kamloops, the "number of bodies" in "unmarked graves" is zero. could u explain why that's "irrelevant" given that it unleashed a massive wave of arson against churches, caused trudeau to lower flags for 6 months, & was named "story of the year" in 2021 by Canadian Press?

[APTN News @APTNNews]

The Memorial Cloth is a 60-metre commemoration the honours the names of thousands of children that died as a result of residential schools in Canada.

It is displayed each year as part of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation event on Parliament Hill.
