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
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.
yeeeeeeah
Many chiefs would never allow this to happen either
11.5 more gb to go <:aHaaing:376442008023203840>
lol if shit goes downhill theyll jsut resort to blaming the white man
they get too much dollar
currently we impose a dysfunctional form of government on these bands
@Coochie coo just say no, lol
The money goes to individuals
as a stipend
The thing is, if these bands ultimately want to convert to common law, private land claims actually become pretty easy to make.
yes, that is one of a few things I agreed with Harper, to make negotiations, money, etc... more transparent -- but of course that was pushed out as the white mans way of running things
if they don't then it should be seen as their own political failure
just as it is seen with any other nation
