Manitoba man gets lighter manslaughter sentence due to Indigenous status

A Manitoba man who stabbed an acquaintance to death in “an unprovoked attack” over a missing cellphone has seen his prison sentence reduced by a year due to his Indigenous status and because he took his victim to hospital, where the man later died from internal bleeding.

Dean Richard Bell pleaded guilty to manslaughter for “fatally” stabbing Calvin Chartrand on Jan. 13, 2024, while they were walking past each other on Main Street in Swan River, Man.

Every 2nd post seems to deal with Woke ethnic crap today. That’s how fecked Canada is.

Audit finds widespread irregularities in federal indigenous contracting program

A long-awaited federal audit has uncovered serious irregularities in a program meant to give contracting preference to indigenous-owned businesses, revealing that most companies claiming indigenous status were never properly verified.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the probe into Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty’s department found that two-thirds of suppliers who said they were indigenous could not prove it.

Governments have thrown tens of millions at First Nations drug treatment. People are still dying

The treatment meant to save Niibin Pahpeguish’s life began to feel like a prison.

After almost a decade battling an addiction that began with prescribed painkillers and later escalated to street opioids, she entered a treatment program in 2009. There, at a facility in Brantford, Ont., she was put on methadone, a drug prescribed to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings.

MORGAN: The Sixties Scoop saved indigenous children’s lives

The Sixties Scoop refers to a period of a couple decades when the government through social services agencies took thousands of indigenous children from their households and put them into foster care. Many of those children were permanently adopted. As has been the trend lately, every past government action has been retroactively declared to be genocidal and compensation has been demanded. Kids taken in the Sixties Scoop are now referred to as survivors. Those kids are indeed survivors, but not of the government’s action. They are survivors thanks to the government’s action.

Indigenous Peoples grapple with the fact people aren’t buying that fake graves crap anymore

Indigenous Peoples grapple with claims downplaying the history of residential schools

OTTAWA – As Indigenous Peoples marked the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation this week, they also had to confront a persistent problem: public figures claiming the history of residential schools has been exaggerated or falsified.

It’s a problem community leaders say poses a real challenge to reconciliation efforts across the country.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, mandated out of a legal settlement between the federal government and survivors of residential schools, concluded the goal of the schools was to erase Indigenous cultures.

First Nations University president fired key whistleblower behind scathing review of her conduct

A three-month investigation into more than two dozen allegations against the president of First Nations University of Canada, commissioned by the institution’s board in 2023, concluded with a stark assessment of her conduct.

“The Investigator found that [President Jacqueline Ottmann] created a “circle of favor” around and inside her office, which attaches to the individuals whom she favors, and excludes those whom she does not favor from having influence,” said the 200-plus page report by Deloitte Legal, an affiliate of the university’s then-accounting firm Deloitte LLP.

Jamie Sarkonak: Vancouver’s undemocratic mission to hide reconciliation payments

Bullshit Indian Language Street

You aren’t supposed to know that Vancouver planned to pay the Musqueam First Nation $33,500 to participate in the renaming of Trutch Street to the indecipherable šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street. Such information, says the city, could harm Indigenous interests and thus warrants secrecy. That’s how reconciliation works in B.C. as of 2021.

WTF? Criminalizing residential school denialism is the only way forward …

Only 14 of the 94 Calls to Action have been implemented. Criminalizing residential school denialism is the only way forward

… The key roadblock to true reconciliation however, is Residential School Denialism. In 2023, despite complete rejection by the publishing industry, a book titled “Grave Error,” a vitriolic and hateful diatribe denying the truth about residential schools and the intergenerational harms they caused, was self-published by a gaggle of hard-core denialists, determine to shore up the myth that residential schools were well-intentioned, abuses suffered there exaggerated or fabricated and that intergenerational harms do not exist. It is deeply disturbing that in this day and age, and in the face of indisputable evidence in the form of government documentation, this book rose to the level of a bestseller.

Confronting denialists is critically important. It is also exhausting and largely a waste of time. Taking a page out of the MAGA playbook the denialists, though with other words, posit the notion of “alternative facts” or “fake news.”

The Star. Batshit Crazy doesn’t begin to describe it.

Truth and Reconciliation Day’ in Canada?

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

Which is odd, since Canada’s leaders avoid the truth as if it were a rotten hunk of back bacon. Actually, they avoid it as if it could turn them into MAGA types, or, gasp, conservative Christians. Which it could. The truth can set you free.

As for reconciliation?

Nothing like an outsider’s view point.

Truth and Reconciliation Day: A national farce masquerading as mourning

Justin Trudeau started and anti-Christian pogrom based on false claims of Aboriginal mass graves at Residential schools. Over 100 churches have been burned down or vandalized. No graves have been found.

Taxpayer money squandered on ‘unmarked graves,’ while hospitals crumble and kids go without. Time to bury this hoax for good.

Here we go again, another “National Day for Truth and Reconciliation” is upon us. The federal government shuts down for the day. Flags are at half-mast. Across the country, Canadians are supposed to pause, reflect, and feel guilty for a manufactured fake holiday.

But pause we must, not to bow before this altar of invented outrage, but to ask when does this madness end?

About one in three Canadians say country belongs to Indigenous people: poll

OTTAWA — As people across the country gather for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a new poll suggests Canadians are divided about whether the country belongs primarily to Indigenous Peoples.

The Leger poll of 1,627 people conducted between Aug. 29 and 31 for the Association for Canadian Studies suggests 38 per cent of Canadians believe Canada belongs “first and foremost” to Indigenous Peoples.

Another 43 per cent of Canadians who responded don’t agree with that sentiment, while 19 per cent of respondents say they don’t know.
