Obviously for the people there, they all had to experience it.
but if we blow it up we will have a lot of moons
I meant basically that it was not a common experience for whites
It does important gravity stuff.
wypipo
then we will have many moons doin that
i promise we wont float away
@Coochie coo That debt is payable to the survivors of the system, not ambiguously to first nations people.
just imagine
the thing is, if you pay reconciliations because of the schools then you have to do it for all.... and why only the natives? ... You think the chiefs are really going to want to close this all once and for all? I highly doubt it, hence why this has been going on for so long...
all the moons!
What did this school system do?
feed us bad food
The residential schools for natives
It's true, victimization is a position of strength. They wouldn't want to lose it.
@Coochie coo I explicitly said not only for the natives.
Is this about reparations of some form?
@Undead Mockingbird not retroactive, the people who experienced the policy are still alive.
@Undead Mockingbird well, some of them at least.
Whenever people talk about some form of reparation, I have the urge to remind them that we spend about $1 trillion on welfare/social services each year.
@Coochie coo it is part of a set of debts of undue pain and tragedy though, and there are other debts payable to natives alone.

Well, I recommend you read up on this shit
We have paid reparations 10x over. The American citizenship is one of the most valuable things in the world.
and ask yourself if there should be a legal basis for this debt
Anyone who is alive and US citizen today should be grateful. #NotSorry
I'm not talking about the U.S.
the U.S. has its own problems, I'm talking about Canada
True, but they're talking about Canada.
Pretty much the same for Canada.
The silver medal of the America's.
Canada has... a uniquely ugly history of policies on this matter.
some of these policies are just flat-out bizarre
U.S. policies have tended to be more straightforward, and represent greed more than hatred
At least you don't have a famous march with the word Tears in the name.
Reparations for residential schools seem pretty legit tbh, those were fucked
Probably. But if it is about the balance of historic victimhood and benefit, anyone who is alive today in North America is a big winner.
In Canada, the same is not true, is what I'm saying.
But we also shouldn't have enshrined the Res'
