So correct me if I am wrong but it doesn't sound like most of you support truth and reconciliation anyway.

So why are you disappointed that Trudeau decided to travel with his family on this new national holiday?

So does that mean you are disappointed that all the provinces didn't declare a Truth and Reconciliation day for the provinces?

And what do you think of Kenney's 2 week holiday during the covid crisis in Alberta's hospitals?

told you , he is just another pig at the trough , told you that already
but what do you think of true dope ignoring the natives on this very special day?

Skippy and climate Barbie sure takes their “climate emergency” serious.

No wonder the barrel of oil is taking off with all the Liberal jetsetters.

I like Ralf Klein day the best.

The second thing ckuck did after he was born was pick up a very large spoon, so naturally he can be irritating.
Reminds me of that tiny little grain of sand that can ruin the party when your having sex on a beach.

Will we ever see another king Ralph?

He lied about having meetings yesterday only to get caught by his plane getting tracked going to Tifino after the fact
Yup this is what Canada , well 30 some percent , mostly in central Ontario voted for , yet again

Wasn't it actualy about 17% of eligable voters as only about 52% voted?

You are missing the point and trying to be a troll. Who said we’re all against truth and reconciliation. Trudeau the big hero for the cause snubs these folks by not taking part. Can’t detract with examples of other politicians transgressions here.

Chuck has no problem slamming everyone else he deems fit over racial issues and First Nations issues
But has never said a word and still does not

Even his beloved NDP leaders are speaking out finally

Trudeau certainly dropped the ball when it came to having a presence on the actual day. But the Liberals pushed hard for the Truth and Reconcilaition day, unlike many of the premiers who didn't want a provincial holiday. Trudeau's record on the first nations file is certainly not great in many ways. He deserves plenty of criticism.

But for many posters on this site they are not very sympathetic to first nations and are not genuinely criticizing Trudeau on the first nations file. Its just another political opportunity to criticize Trudeau and in some cases blame first nations for their own problems.

In one of your recent posts on another thread you tried to make the case that settlers also suffered under colonialism. Yes life on prairie farms was hard but so was life in the old countries where many settlers came from. And a lot of immigrant settlers settled in developed cities.

But we know that first nations lost a lot more and settlers gained a whole lot, including having all the political and economic power while first nations had none.

First nations did not write the Indian Act, nor create the reserves and force themselves onto uneconomic reserves dependent on the federal government. Nor did they create the residential schools that caused generations of first nations serious social and cultural harm, the legacy of which we are still experiencing.

Truth and reconciliation day is about understanding the history of Canada and first nations and acknowledging the harm that we as a nation caused and working together to make the lives of first nations people better.

You think settlers riding a month in the bottom of a boat and then 2 weeks in a steam train and then dropped off on 160 acres of barren wasteland had political and economic power? OMG

He’s a phuckin idiot. Not sure why anyone responds to his horseshit.
