The Trudeau’s diversity is Canadas strength, let’s force people to eat dairy and grain at unhealthy levels because it lines my pockets. Gude ol John A: CANADA CANADA CANADA Quebec isn’t really Canada CANADA CANADA

@Hylia, there is nothing inherently wrong with not voting. Checking out of the electoral system is a valid strategy in some circumstances. A few months ago I was intending on not voting at all (or maybe spoiling my ballot). But, as it stands now I will be voting for the PPC because they are the only party that cares at all about free speech and immigration.

It would be cool if our politics were calm and collected like they sounded before all this

@RAM II Meh I think that is mythology, I doubt politics was every really particularly 'calm.' At least not democratic politics, that just isn't in the intensives. In the 1800s we had revolutions and civil wars, the first first half of the 1900s we had world wars, in the second half we had assassinations and domestic terrorism. By 'we' I of course mean the west as a whole, not specifically Canada. But, even Canadian politics weren't incredibly civil the smears between J.A. Macdonald and Wilfrid Laurier were particularly notoriously bad.

Oh my goodness I had no idea that our prime minister was a light skinned Cuban

Does anyone know what channel the debates will be on for Oct 7?

My problem with the blackface:
I really dont care about his tendency become a black person. However, how can any other world leader take this mf-er serious?
Progressives, how can you have trudeau 'hold trump accountable' when trump will laugh trudeau's black ass out of the whitehouse?
Trudeau: TRUMP you're a RACIST!
Trump: whatever you say Mr. blackface

How can you seriously think trudeau can be your pope of progressivism when all his opponents will laugh at his black ass?

Bernier is the only choice

Well, only good choice

Could vote commie and then revolt

Pretty sure the military would side with their civilians. So more of a take over

Trudeau is going to be your Prime Minister until his looks fade. Prove me wrong.

Any truth to these things? Thought I'd ask here, idk much about what's going on in canada

Had no idea cpcml was a thing

Sounds like there's some truth in it, but I doubt this is the whole truth

I mean 150.000 kids, that's a lot. If that number is true it should be possible to have historical documents available. Buf it those don't exist then imo we should err on the side of disbelief, as harsh as that may be.

Basically I think this is exaggerated

We get a red problem the commies are too comfy handing out propaganda flyers

@9th Error The basic facts in that video are all pretty much true, there are a bunch of small things I could nit-pick but, that's true for basically any pop history so that's a bit besides the point. The big narratives are more important. The insinuation that the social problems that natives have is all thanks to residential schools (or whity more broadly) is ridiculous. Sex segregation was near universal in boarding schools in this period so you could argue its bad but, it was hardly a thing specific to natives.

@9th Error I haven't personally looked into the stuff to do with abuse enough to really get a handle on it and that type of stuff is very difficult to quantify.

@9th Error The death rate is a bit more interesting since its much easier to quantify (since you know, you have a body). We do see that they had significantly higher death rates then the Canadian average for a similar age range (stats from that period are poor though, and note similar age range, not identical). The image bellow is from the Truth and Reconciliation Report and I do notice one interesting thing. The death rate for the first few decades of the schools for natives was similar and sometimes lower then the ruff Canadian average. What's interesting about that is that period was when the people running the schools were most explicitly racist and wanted to destroy native culture, yet its the period with the lowest average death rate.

Also, I can't remember if it said it in that video but, most natives did not attend residential schools during this period, it was about 30% iirc. Residential schools were never mandatory, schooling was mandatory and many natives didn't have other schools if they lived on reserves.

@Settler's Lament oh okay, thanks, canadian friend sent me that vid saying the schools are showing it all over but wasnt sure what to make of it, did seem a bit hard to believe and the friend was ranting about how the country was covering it up but the government doesnt care and "orange shirt day"

anyone that lives in canada seen anything else like that or conspiracy stuff my friends on about?

He thinks the government is trying to cover up the residential school system? @9th Error

The government right now?

kinda, more like canda is trying to cover up natives being forced to drink "cancer water" and lots of other stuff, and yes right now

but said the government doesnt care, just "Canada" covering it up

idk what they were o about but as i dont live there i dont wanna pick any sides without opinions from other people and what else i can find in news etc.

eh it isnt even picking sides tbh its just weird

oddly tho i dont find it hard to believe cnada would have a problem like murdering natives and not giving them clean water and then covering it up, its clown world after all and canda is the most progressive, lol

He just sounds like a delusional conspiracy nut progressive imo. I've learnt about the residential school system since I was in elementary school, granted that is a recent phenomenon (I'm in my early-to-mid twenties, someone 5-10 years older then me probably would have never heard about it in school). But, the government, and the mainstream media promotes native grievance politics constantly. That video was from the state funding broadcaster, hardly a coverup.

And Indian reserves are autonomous, self-governing entities. Building their local infrastructure isn't the government's job. The government gives them money and they can do what they want with it, some of them are extremely corrupt and because of the autonomy they have the federal government can't do very much about it.

yeh, he seemed perfectly normal till he said that, never thought him 1 for conspiracies, and didnt know that was a state PBC, thanks for the info tho, idk shit about canada or native reserves

Yeah they get over half their money from the government, CBC, Canadian version of the BBC.

And I'm assuming by 'murdering natives' you are referring to the 'missing and murdered indigenous women.' If so that is the most blatantly false of all of those, at least in the way it is portrayed. Granted it was about four years ago I read about this topic but, assuming the info is the same people sized on it because of the supposedly high number murdered and totally unaccounted for native women. And they portrayed this also some sort of racist conspiracy against natives by whity. It is of course true that native women are disproportionately murdered compared to the Canadian average but, that's just a result of the fact that natives have a higher then average crime rate in Canada, and of course most of the people killing those women are native men.
