R.I.P to the great Charlie Kirk! ~ R.I.P to our friend Caskur!
Quote from: DKG on Today at 09:57:41 AMRemember Art Hanger and the Reform Party? Art was vilified and ridiculed for calling for the end of all race-based policies. That included repealing the Indian Act and phasing out the reserve system. Reserve land would be sold to Indians in fee simple, and reserves would be merged into existing municipalities or become standalone municipalities.
But the parts of their Indian policies that were most objectionable to the Indian leaders were their proposal that Indians should be equal to other Canadians in every way. That is, there would no longer be a separate legal status for Indians. They would not be "Musqueams", "Cree" or any of the other hundreds of other tribes that once hunted in what is now Canada — they would be regular Canadians, but with indigenous identities.
None of Hanger's proposals suggested that Indian Canadians should be required to give up any part of their indigenous culture or identities. Like other Canadians, they could continue to celebrate their ethnicities in any way they liked.
But despite that, Hanger and his fellow Reform Party members were ridiculed and called "dinosaurs" for daring to suggest that Canada's Indian apartheid system was a racist and antiquated scheme that acted as a severe drag on the national economy.
But the Reform proposals were actually remarkably similar to Pierre Trudeau's infamous "White Paper" in 1969, in which Trudeau proposed essentially the same thing. Indians would be Canadians — "no more and no less." Like all other Canadians, they would have individual rights, but no special collective (tribal) rights. Like Reform's proposal, Trudeau's "White Paper" was also shouted down by Indian chiefs who were determined to hang on to their special entitlements.

Quote from: Blazor on May 24, 2026, 10:23:04 PMI've never trusted Trump entirely, but I'll agree that the way they went after him in his first round, made it look like he was indeed different. This time its totally different. Is he still doing some good... yes, but he is also doing bad, and I still don't trust him.You are all over the place on this one.
This nation was never founded on being a democracy, it is a Republic! Everywhere there is "democracy", is a city in ruins. What we have today is a lot of sellouts, its no wonder its not working! I use to think the same, a change to fit, like everyone voting online and having opinions and such online, and doing away with Congress and such, but that wont work now, as we have so much corruption in that area, between bots, AI, and changing of votes and such with a switch. I don't trust it.
