Our home ON native land

[Birdbuff]

I do not think the MSM fuels feelings of hatred or fosters racism there only seems to be a segment of society affected in this manner and nothing will change them. The MSM has been excellent about bringing to light all the facts about residential schools and atrocities committed within.

Back on topic a woman singing the national anthem and changing the words may not have been the best thing to do but she was taking a stance important to her.

So far I have not heard a big fuss about this except from the same elements of society who appear to be angry at everything and everyone.

I like the present wording "O
Canada! Our
home
and
native
land! I think this basically acknowledges its native land.

You’re right, it’s not all over the news. It happened and it was talked about for maybe one day and then people moved on.

The indigenous topic is always a hot button topic in any possible way. There’s always a lot of anger, excuses or supposed history lessons but never really any kind of ideas to bridge the gap and make everyone happy.

While this version of the anthem was not what I was taught in school, it was much better than the way some American singers butcher it at hockey games.

I meant the main stream majority of the entire population of the country,not the media,specifically,not that they didn't do their best to fuel the false dichotomy that all these children were somehow exterminated because of their race like some type of "ethnic cleansing" at the hands of religious zealotry. No evidence,not one shred,has ever been produced that supports that "genocide" had occurred in any form. Every position from media and the government that they advanced is and was patently false.

Brother I have no idea what your watching on the telly, but even for me with a steady diet of CBC, CTV,CP 24, CNN, BBC, I do not find that they are pushing a genocide belief. But if you look at the definition there is plenty of evidence to point to that would suggest a genocide.

Genocide is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. These acts fall into five categories:

Killing members of the group
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

The fact that in Canada these aboriginal children, wards of the State fell into ALL the above categories in one way or another has me believing a genocide took place.

Time for hearing aids and glasses, it's a never ending the "native genocide at the schools" is what I keep hearing.

You could be suffering from selective hearing. LOL

The MSM I am watching is keeping their powder dry until some of the forensic work gets done of these remains, the I think you will see a full blown use of the word.

You've been receiving too much Liberal propaganda from leftist news media,especially,the CBC....(The Official Voice of the Liberal Party of Canada to the tune of $1.3B of taxpayer's money) to ensure their voting bloc are fed the "party line" by the shovelful. If you try expanding your news feeds for opposing views,confirmation bias won't be nearly as prevalent allowing for more balanced and unbiased observations.

Bingo. Indoctrination of another kind is FULLY underway in the public school system

You do realize that all those media's are connected and funded by wef players. The same people rolling out the agendas.

It is sad that the only way we learn is from our mistakes and I'm pretty sure when they started all those programs for the First People that it wasn't meant to be done with malice intent.

As for our anthem ? Maybe it is time to re-write it ? O' Canada 2.0 or how about O' Canada ; The Next Generation ? I like " My Canada, Our home of many tribes !" sounds more inclusive don't you think ?

There is no doubt in my mind that the residential school system was developed to assimilate the Native population into the white mans world by eliminating the traditions, language and family ties. This made it easier for us to steal the land and resources of the group we were trying to take from.

Not much difference from the land grabs during the Highland Clearances in Scotland or the potato Famine in Ireland.

Now considering the founding stock in Canada was both Scottish and Irish it was probably seen as pretty normal at the time because we had our land stolen and were dispossessed..

Even the French in Canada had their land stolen by the British again and deportations were perfectly normal back in the day, Arcadians.

I do agree maybe a updated version of the anthem could be warranted.
