Oh man, its nuts hey. I just got back from Vancouver. Went to the Canucks pre season opener against the Kraken. Had their little truth and reconciliation thing before the game.

Then I went to the BC Lions game couple nights later, same exact thing there, even had their own little anthem they played before the Canadian anthem.

I get residential schools were shitty, but they are not the only people that shitty stuff happened to.
Yeah, I have taken to starting my recording of games fifteen minutes late because it's evrery game now. Usually starts right at puck drop.

Of course the Monday game in Edmonton was seemingly a half hour of drumming singalongs and white guilt which I skipped.

Is this like Juneteenth here?
Not really.

I think it has more to do with their guilty conscience from sending indians/eskimos to boarding schools where many were abused/murdered.

That's the story, although the murdered part is probably bullshit. There is literally zero evidence pointing to that.

Sounds like denialism to me. ;)

After reading one article, I'm basically an expert on this subject that I knew absolutely nothing about when I woke up this morning.

An undeniable truth need not be concerned with pointed skepticism.

So I wonder what Trudeau is worried about? The public's acceptance of censorship is baffling to me.
No one has ever found a grave and the government wants to criminalize discussing it. They've even come up with an Orwellian Nuspeak term for it. They've managed to brainwash the majority so you dare not bring the subjet up in polite company. It's very Covid 19.

One thing I can't quite get a handle on is the fact that some of the reserves hundreds of miles away from civilization seemingly don't have clean drinking water and this is apparently a great failing of the white man.

What I can't figure is what exactly were these folks drinking back in the golden age before the white came along and ruined everything?
this is the irony of the truth and reconciliation day holiday .... the government (and the church) are the ones who fucked the indians...so what do they do? give themselves a holiday . if they wanted to reconcile anything how about rewrite the indian act or make an effort to get these people clean drinking water . it has been an election promise for a decade or more . there is no truth and zero effort of reconciliation but somehow white people are supposed to feel bad about some shit that we never did. i love how trudeau just neglects the fact that his own father was in charge of the residential schools from 1968-1984 and jean cretien was his indian affairs minister . the evil white men he hates so much were his own Liberal Party members

this whole residential schools holobunga came about because Canada didnt really bite when BLM was in is heyday in the states . most Canadians arent really racist against black people. george floyd didnt take off like they wanted so they rolled out the "mass graves of children" in an effort to cause a divide in Canada . they have dug up a couple suspected graves and found nothing every time . not one bone, not a tooth . nothing .

Did you at least where an orange shirt?
No.

This day is now and probably forever going to be a Canadian Stat holiday because once something like this is in place it just stays.

However, it happens the day before my birthday so I consider it my long weekend birthday now.

That's awesome. I need to make up some woke bullshit holiday that falls on my birthday.
