When I was a little kid, my mother told me not to stare into the sun.

I'm trying to follow the logic, but what sounds fair is not always fair.

That's because I'm not comparing the 1980s to the 1780s and earlier lol

I am not just shitting on the idea.

So once when I was six, I did.

They do make legal claims, for the record

Then I support them in that.

I can't just appeal to fairness, either.

@Undead Mockingbird The thing is, the problem is that it is an ongoing treadmill of new claims. By enumerating the recorded debts, and tabulating them coldly, we have a chance to avoid this perpetual treadmill.

I've watched the Cornwallis statue be vandalized over and over again until it was removed, granted it's not even my history but if it were (and it is), I would hate to watch this happen Canada is a great place to live ffs, ... You coddle a people for too long you take away their incentives and their resiliency.

If it seems unfair, then they will continue to receive settlements for debts that are not enumerated.

I think that's pretty unfair. White people seem to be the only ones who cannot demand fairness.

I think the day of the rake needs to come sooner than later

That's why this collectivism is pretty nasty, IMHO.

Clean up those maple leaves

Do you know who Lindsay Shepard is @xorgy

It sounds fair, but it's pretty mean towards individuals.

>vandalizing the person who saved your nation

@Undead Mockingbird Well, there are _individual_ debts.

wtf is up with you brits and hating yourselves?

@Coochie coo sure, to some extent

If people want to talk about fairness, they should show how they have been personally injured.

@Undead Mockingbird they regularly do

Land acknowledgements are not the same issue

Good. Then they have a legal basis, or should have one, IMHO.

@Coochie coo yeah, I also reject those

@Coochie coo we won the land

That was the qualifier I predicated all above statements on.

ok so we agree here

But they still do have land, and they should be able to purchase new land like any other nation.

what would you think would be best to remedy this then?

I think that _that_ land should be sovereign

fire and fury!

Tbh reserves should convert to private ownership, rather than tribal ownership

and the people on it should be recognized but differentiated, no different from any other international treaty.

Also I dont think making them sovereign will actually fix the problem

The Cheifs own people are the ones who are getting fucked the most

some bands are run well, a lot aren't

If they are accountable to _themselves_, then things will sort themselves out.
