Unpopular take: Getting off the reserve alive is what makes an indigenous person a “survivor,” not having attended a residential school.

Here’s why.

The NDP's new "anti-racism" action plan doesn't go far enough... 🤣

Robin DiAngelo has been MIA ever since I had this heart to heart conversation with her. It’s a shame. I really thought we had a breakthrough moment here.

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

@IsaiahSche82748 Indeed. And no good deed goes unpunished by leftist revolutionaries who today believe these are the only classes of people responsible for the failings of others.

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

The enslavement and torture of indigenous people was a dark chapter in our past. There were 39 distinct slave trading tribes in pre-Columbian North America.

This indigenous history month, take a moment to learn about how your Canadian ancestors put an end to these horrific practices.

Excellent summary linked below.

“Anti-racism“ is actually race war jet fuel.

If you think BC healthcare is bad now, wait until you get kicked to the back of the ER waitlist because your equity card is the wrong color.

Every time you hear the phrase “the impacts of colonialism“, remember that these impacts included ending this sort of barbarism:

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

I’ve hear l reports that this is already happening. Indigenous patients are brought to the front of the line, given free bottled water and pampered like guests at a spa while everybody else looks on in Payne and disbelief.

Yesterday, we launched B.C.’s new anti-racism action plan, addressing systemic barriers and improving access for Indigenous and racialized communities in healthcare, education, public safety, and more. This is a big step as we continue to work toward a more equitable B.C for all.

“I will fight it.”

KLF promises to fight the proposed federal censorship law to criminalize “residential school denialism”.

@Martyupnorth @Women___Exist This is exactly right. And one reason why “denialism” is sought to be criminalized is so that the externalization of blame for this violence can continue indefinitely.

[The Reclamare @TheReclamare]

Aaron, please stop pandering

An indigenous guy is not getting arrested saying anything about residential schools. Laws protect you.

How about arguing against Canada’s growth of discriminatory race based legislation, essentially returning to the days of your great grandmother

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

@TracyfromBC Thank you for taking the time to make that comment. I feel duty-bound and privileged to have these conversations given the relevant experiences that I’ve had in the area and I’m willing to sit down with anybody who wishes to have such discussions in good faith.

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

Residential schools were a refuge for needy, neglected, sick, and abandoned children. Missionaries, priests, nuns, and teachers gave kids good meals, clean clothes, medical treatment, practical skills, and loving care.

You can throw me in prison, but you can’t prove me wrong.

.@SenateCA human rights committee votes 7 to 1 to criminalize Indian Residential School “denialism.”
Public statements intended to promote hatred by downplaying impacts of Residential Schools would be outlawed under threat of 2 years in jail.

@TheReclamare I’m going to write an op ed on this soon.

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

There were about 13 such land ordinances between 1858 and 1870 which unambiguously exercised crown authority over lands leaving no room for aboriginal title. This was recognized by Judson’s reasons in the 1973 Calder case, but the implausible position that even more specific laws were required to extinguish title and that the subsequent 100 years of its demonstration were irrelevant was adopted by Hall and followed later by the Supreme Court of Canada in its 1997 ruling in Delgamukh.

50 years of misguided case law needs to be wiped clean. A constitutional amendment is required.

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

@mt_pheasant @Aaronpete_ Probably true. But I still appreciate him making the point.

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

I agree to a point. Schools today are under funded and operated poorly. A less centralized model today would be an improvement as well. But teachers with few exceptions, love their students and pour themselves into their work. They don’t deserve to be demonized. and I don’t believe there is some sinister motive behind all public education – there wasn’t then and there isn’t now.

[Cosmin Dzsurdzsa @cosminDZS]

David Eby, who recently surrendered government decision-making to the First Nations Leadership Council as part of a half-baked "Indigenous co-governance" plan, should think twice before he accuses others of being "regional managers"

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

There are many positive experiences documented by the TRC. This is despite the fact that there was a financial incentive not to share positive experiences because most of the students could seek compensation through the IAP process for allegations of abuse and notwithstanding the severe stigma associated with sharing positive experiences for the last three or four decades.

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

@AmazingZoltan @TomGautreau This is what is already happened over public land. Repealing section 35 will restore that equity unlocking billions if not trillions in wealth for all the people of this province.
