I realize I am one person. I can not change the world by myself.

But I can cast a stone in the water, hoping others cast theirs and we make a significant ripple.

I knew what is happening would happen. I hate it all the same.
I’m angry. Very angry to watch politicians use profound grief that doesn’t belong to them for political gain.

I wrote very angry and critical threads.

Singh’s behaviour is wounding my community and all of Canada.

I can’t sit by and watch silently.

But I can’t be positive and humbly critical.

Nope. I’m enraged by betrayal. I expect this from cons.
Demonstrating betrayal always always comes from within.

I want to scream. Are you happy far left? You pissed me off mightily today.

And the public wonders why indigenous people don’t trust white people. Why we don’t trust people who tell us our issues deserve airtime and financial support too.

I’m signing off tonight. Enraged.
It’s insulting people believe I’m being too harsh when I call out disinformation. I’m bullying. Are you effing kidding me?!?

I’m bullying because I don’t candy coat criticism of the abuse of indigenous issues for political gain.

Don’t follow me if you expect candy coating.
I’m not here trying to win friends. I’m not campaigning for any party.

I’m advocating that the Canadian public actually take responsibility for the 500 years of shit and abuse thrown at the indigenous peoples of Canada.

I’m not going to make it easy for you.

She GETS IT!

Listen to this woman. Don’t listen to people who demand everything get fixed by next week. Listen to the people who have been wronged for generations.

Acknowledge their pain.

Acknowledge their humanity.

Acknowledge their anger.

Acknowledge their resentment.
That’s it. That’s your responsibility.

Listen.

It’s not time for you to be heard. It’s not time for you to virtue signal. It’s not time for you to get comfort for your shock and dismay.

It’s our time. We’re the ones almost wiped out from policies meant to exterminate us.
By settlers.

Settlers who profited from our pain. Profited from our deaths. Profited from our suffering.

This isn’t your pain. It’s ours. You listen. We get to talk now.

Mr. Singh’s intentional attempt to divide progressives into two factions: those who demand immediate action, and those who understand centuries of persecution will take time and mutual cooperation between governments and communities to address is reprehensible.
I’m not a lawyer. But I know enough of them and have independently studied legal issues to know what Mr. Singh is requesting of the federal government, by withdrawing court cases related to child welfare and residential school compensation is anti-democratic and dangerous.
Perhaps some lawyers could opine to confirm these assertions I’m making. Instead of permitting this charlatan from ripping apart Canadian democratic norms and conventions.

How many more times do I need to be subjected to asinine stupid comments about indigenous issues from people who think they mean well, but they’re actually as clueless as a door knob!

JFC this is pissing me off more than I thought it would!
Not that I expect everyone to read my threads, but I did write a very important one a couple days ago.

In it I said people would immediately move to solutions to avoid feeling difficult emotions about the discovery of a mass grave of indigenous children.
How characteristic of complicit humans to avoid feeling responsible for any part of this genocide. How ‘Good German’ of you!

I hoped for better self awareness. But nope. Same ole same old.

I see so many people using the word hypocrisy to describe this behaviour.

It’s not hypocrisy. They honestly believe the rules do not apply to them.

These are people who believe they write the rules, not live by the rules, because they’re at the top of the hierarchy.
Using words like hypocrisy is a reflection of your values, not theirs.

They don’t believe your opinion matters. Therefore hypocrisy is an empty moral value.

Why people continue to use is frustrating.
To respond to the slight of being called a hypocrite, you first must possess some level of a sense of social cohesion and egalitarianism. A belief that “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” mentality.

UCP members don’t have that characteristic.

How many people are familiar with the following truth?

“Those who don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it.” ~ Edmund Burke
Most people assume Burke was referencing maintaining awareness of history to avoid sliding into autocracy.

He wasn’t. He was referencing the French Revolution. Where the common folk deposed the monarchy & noble classes. And redistributed wealth and resources more equitably.
In theory anyway (check out Robespierre).

Burke was a wealthy aristocrat. Afraid of losing his status, property and comfortable lifestyle.

And he was correct. When you don’t pay attention to current events & seek to understand them in contexts with past events, you’re doomed.
