If this is gearing towards a referendum vote to separate from Canada, this will be this single dumbest thing the province has ever done.

So you mean to tell me Alberta would be better off with the people that shrugged Danielle off after all her effort to negotiate? That the province would somehow be able to magically do what it wants as a separate entity from Canada? I love when I’m a landlocked nation and need to ship my resources through foreign countries in order to get it to buyers.

Idiots. Fucking idiots.

“Not a tiny selection of them who want to maximize rent seeking”.

Ah yes, indigenous people. The greediest people in the country. Get the fuck out of here with your garbage. Human rights are not on the debate table, and you frankly saying they want to “maximize rent” as if they’re leeching to profit off the country rather than have a means to reasonably support themselves fiscally is downright disgusting.

If a rich person decided to buy the resources off the indigenous, and they decided it was in their best interest to take the offer, then yeah, while I’d be opposed to the idea of that, it’s still their treaty rights to decide for themselves.

Treaty rights are human rights and they are not on the table, and to suggest otherwise in any matter is to ignore the bullshit indigenous people have had to deal with for generations. They are to be included in the conversation because they are quite literally more “Canadian” than anybody else in the country and deserve to have their voices heard and their standard of living raised just as any other person’s should be with harvesting our natural resources.

Answer the question directly. Do you, or do you not respect the rights of indigenous people to their ancestral lands? Do you or do you not believe they have the right to dictate the projects that happen on their treaty lands and how they benefit from those projects?

Or do you want to see Canada see the profits of the exploitation of these resources, all while these people continue to beg for fucking potable water, left behind yet again by the federal government?

Tell us how you really feel about indigenous people rather than hide it behind this thin veil.

So you’re of the opinion that we should just say “fuck you” to indigenous people and their treaty rights, and just continue exploiting the resources of their ancestral lands that we invaded and violated their rights to all to make a quicker buck?

What do you think is going to happen, that indigenous people are just gonna say “nah” and purposely be a pain in the ass for the government? Cause if that’s what you think of them, which this thought process of “oh this just gets in the way of things” heavily implies, then perhaps that’s a you problem and not a problem of the government’s to respect and reconcile with the people it’s fucked over since Europeans and the likes stepped foot here.

Ah yes the foreign interference of…

Indigenous people.

I too love learning how the brain works in my physics lessons.

Tell that to Dan Sullivan.

What exactly do you mean by this?

Ew, AI-generated material. Gross.

Just a reminder that a Conservative vote is literally a vote to destroy Canadian culture with their plans to defund the CBC.

Either is fine! I’ve posted I think one French song to date. Think it would be a good idea to tag it as Francophone however. Might add it to the sidebar to tag French music, but might give it more thought since while I do want to give attention to Francophone music, I also don’t want things working the other way where people are purposely ignoring Francohpone music and musicians.

Article says everybody agrees on there not being any Canadian options, and it being a public safety issue. Framing it as “Conservatives are traitors, ammarite” is kinda gross here tbh.

Re-watching it, and yeah, has to be gagged. If you listen closely, there’s a small “click” after what at first sounds like “gay”, which is likely an “ed” sound.

I think he was trying to say “gagged” but it does sound like “gay” lol

I blame the fact that alt-righters seem to be so invested in the influencer sphere whereas the far left types like literal communists and all lack that reach as they quite literally are anti-profit and don’t get rich donor money to expand their reach.

Wish I could watch and see what specifically the video is about, but unfortunately on the bus and left my earbuds at home :(

In any case, not to self-promote, but I made this community little bit ago that I hope will help things out: https://lemmy.ca/c/maplemusic

It’s almost as if people go to the extremes when the status quo is to keep people in financial hardship.

Remembering how my sixth grade teacher back in like, 2012, was telling us a high speed train from Edmonton to Calgary would be a stupid idea, and that waiting for the hyperloop would be a smarter idea.

Hope he’s enjoying that curdled milk.

You’re not funny bro.

Got any other jokes to sell us, or are you supposed to be the punchline here?
