Residential Schools

‘They’re Back For More …’


“I have spoken many times…about how controversial the Residential Schools matter is…  Many stepped forward to tell stories of supposed woes, garner the sympathy of whoever holds the purse strings, and obtained “compensation” for the pain and suffering they supposedly endured.   

“The party line says that you must all agree that this happened everywhere — not just in remote communities up north, no, it was endemic — and so all Residential Schools must be tarred with the same brush…

“However, if one looks at the objective facts, and speaks to respected elders who were there and whose stories have NOT been told, you will hear a very different scenario.” ERBLThey'reBackForMore...800x800‘Opportunist Ambulance Chasers Try to Scam More Money from the Government over Residential Schools’ 

“In an article entitled ‘Compensation for Sixties Scoop and Day School Abuse’ — found in “Two Row Times”, 28 October 2015, p.4 — we learn that some law firm proposes that there are  

    “victims of Canada’s assimilation policies through residential schools and other legislative bodies that have fallen through the cracks when it comes to financial compensation”.   

“The solution: a class action lawsuit to grab more money from the Canadian taxpayer…

Aboriginal Narrative

‘The Great Trust Fund In The Sky’


Most people involved with discussion of the ‘Aboriginal Issue’ have by now encountered the image accompanying this post, which claims that virtually the entire development of Canada has been financed with money that has been stolen from ‘Indian Trust Funds’ that are administered by the federal government. 

ERBLTheGreatTrustFundInTheSky800x800It’s unfortunate that so many people have been sucked in by this fabrication. It has only exacerbated the resentment felt by many aboriginals. It is this kind of Aboriginal Industry propaganda that has heightened the racial tension in our land.

This twisted tale combines fact {there ARE Indian Trust Funds administered by the federal government for a variety of purposes – see below}, with fiction:  Continue reading ‘The Great Trust Fund In The Sky’ →

Aboriginal Narrative

‘Aboriginal Peoples Still Haunted By The Past’


“This gap between narrative of self-government and reality — between memory of what once was a long time ago and what is today — reflects what I call the “dream palace” of the aboriginals…

“Today’s reality, however, is so far removed in actual day-to-day terms from the memories inside the dream palace, as to be almost unbearable…”

‘The Toronto Purchase’


Whose ‘Traditional Land’ Is This? 

Even though the Nation of Canada and the City of Toronto recently hosted the Pan Am Games – and the financially-inept Ontario government absorbed most of the $2.5 billion in costs – people from faraway lands were greeted with this:

“The Mississaugas Of The New Credit ‘First Nation’ is proud to be the host ‘first nation’ of the Toronto2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am games. 

“As chief of the Mississaugas, I welcome you to our traditional lands…”

This foolishness {“our traditional lands”} went by with virtually no comment from Canadian historians or our governments; indeed, our governments were complicit in spreading what amounts to an historical lie. This has become commonplace, with Canadian officials constantly thanking the ‘traditional’ landowners, even when — as in this case — their claim is ridiculous…  Continue reading ‘The Toronto Purchase’ →

Trudeau and Gosnell


       Nisga’a Chief James Gosnell, at the 1983 First Ministers’ Conference:

“It has always been our belief, Mr. Chairman, that when God created this whole world, he gave pieces of land to all races of people throughout this world — the Chinese people, Germans, and you name them, including Indians. So, at one time our land was this whole continent — right from the tip of South America to the North Pole… It has always been our belief that God gave us the land…and we say that no one can take our title away except He who gave it to us to begin with.”

 To which Prime Minister Trudeau responded:

“Going back to the Creator doesn’t really help very much. So, He gave you title but, you know, did He draw on the land where your mountains stopped and somebody else’s began…? God never said that the frontier of France runs along the Rhine…

“I don’t know any part of the world where history isn’t constantly rewritten by migrations and immigrants, and fights between countries changing frontiers. And i don’t think you can expect North America or the whole of the Western Hemisphere to settle things differently than they have been settled anywhere else — hopefully, peacefully here.”

—quoted in “Our Home or Native Land?“, Mel Smith, p.149-150

“So, this year we came up with a proposal. It’s a policy paper on the ‘Indian problem’. It proposes a set of solutions. It doesn’t impose them on anybody. It proposes them — not only to the Indians, but to all Canadians — not only to their federal representatives, but to the provincial representatives, too, and it says we’re at the crossroads. We can go on treating the Indians as having a special status. We can go on adding bricks of discrimination around the ghetto in which they live and at the same time, perhaps, helping them preserve certain cultural traits and certain ancestral rights. Or we can say you’re at a crossroad — the time is now to decide whether the Indians will be a race apart in Canada or whether it will be Canadians of full status.”

Those words were spoken back on Aug. 8, 1969, by then-Prime Mnister Pierre Trudeau at the ‘Aboriginal and Treaty Rights’   meeting in Vancouver…

“We will recognize forms of contract which have been made with the Indian people by the Crown and we will try to bring justice in that area, and this will mean that perhaps the treaties shouldn’t go on forever. It’s inconceivable, I think, that in a given society, one section of the society have a treaty with the other section of the society.

“We must all be equal under the laws and we must not sign treaties among ourselves. And many of these treaties, indeed, would have less and less significance in the future anyhow, but things that in the past were covered by the treaties…things like so much twine, or so much gunpowder and which haven’t been paid, this must be paid. But I don’t think that we should encourage the Indians to feel that their treaties should last forever within Canada…”

“They should become Canadians as all other Canadians and if they were prosperous and wealthy, they will be treated like prosperous and wealthy and they will be paying taxes for the other Canadians, who are not so prosperous and not so wealthy — whether they be Indians or English Canadians or French or Maritimers.

“(This) is the only basis on which I see our society can develop as equals.

“But aboriginal rights, this really means saying, ‘We were here before you. You came and took the land from us… We want you to preserve our aboriginal rights and to restore them to us.”

“And our answer — it…may not be one which is accepted, but it will be up to all you people to make your minds up and to choose for or against it… our answer is ‘No’…”
