@JulieSDixon julie wants you to know that she has been totally indoctrinated into woke ideology, and that she voted three times for an unserious person to be PM, and this time, a plagiarizer.
@itsdesign@BarbaraRKay@kinsellawarren true, in fact until the 1860s school was not mandatory, and that is when the govt made it mandatory, and FN leaders jumped on the band wagon for obvious reasons.
I don't see it as a scandal. Education of their children was a demand from Indigenous people in treaty negotiations. And when the gov ended the system, many chiefs demanded that they stay open. They were boarding schools. The parents had to give signed permission for them to attend. The only children "forced" to go were orphans and children otherwise at risk. Only a third of status Indians attended. The average stay was 3.5 years. The kids went home for long summer holidays. We must stop catastrophizing the system. All we are allowed to focus on are the abuses; nobody is allowed to talk about the success stories. There is no balance in the reporting.
@jonkay your approach to this stuff is bang on - see the humour in it. At some point in the hopefully not too distant future, the comedians are going to have a field day with this shit.
@MarkJCarney 3. Then of course, you have Chretien at the beginning of the Gulf war demanding that PM Mulroney recall Canadian Naval ships to Canada if they were fired upon. So perhaps it is Canadian Liberal Values and French Values that are shared?
@MarkJCarney 2. Harris told Churchill that French women from the local town would be killed in the operation because many were dating Nazis, the PM responded by telling Harris not to bomb the Germans. Just a little nuance in our so called 'shared values".
@MarkJCarney 1. For some reason, Churchill avoided bombing Germans in France to avoid killing Frenchmen. Churchill asked AVM Arthur Harris, RAF commander of Bomber Command, to bomb a U-Boat facility on the French coast. /2
@MarkJCarney France basically put up no resistance to the Germans when they entered their country in 1939. Additionally many french citizens were quick to identify jews. Contrary to what the French like to say, the French resistance in WW2 was not that significant.
Canada hosted its first World Cup match in Toronto.
Justin Trudeau chose to attend the USA opener instead.
And yes, he was caught on camera jumping up to celebrate an American goal.
You really can't make this stuff up.
Serious question: if you truly believe Musk is a murderer with the blood of hundreds of thousands on his hands, why are you generating free content for his social media service? Like, if you truly believe this and it’s not just a debating point, how does this make sense?
@jbvconnor@PierrePoilievre@Women___Exist I hope this is the case, but it seems to me, Canada under Liberal rule is holding the course. In time, society will look back on this period as mass Histrionic personality disorder, with Canada as leaders.
