Whites were treated really badly by whites too.
I want reparations.

he was referring to wars between tribes
i was not the government or the catholics so i feel no guilt over residential schools but it does not mean we should not understand it

On Monday, Sylvia Jones, the Dufferin-Caledon MPP named to Premier Doug Ford's first cabinet this summer, said the government has written to Victoria's mayor about acquiring the statue.
"History matters," she said during question period.
Jones said she realizes Macdonald's legacy has been a "cause for much discussion," and said he was a "flawed" individual, but that "people are complicated" and the statue should be a place for people to learn.
lol
THIS is what matters to you ?
History always matters to me.
One of the reasons I love the assassins creed series and choose the name Altair.
sure i find history interesting as well
but it does not really impact my life
seems a weird hill to die on to me
Who is dying?
I like that they seem to be willing to preserve Canadian history,I like political parties and politicians who are willing to preserve history, and as such, i'm starting to warm to the Doug Ford PCs for trying to preserve history.
Also, asides from the political hit job on Toronto, they have not really done anything worth mentioning good or bad, so this is all I have to go off of as of this moment.
That he does, but I'll judge him on his present actions, of which there have been few.well Ford himself has a long history (personally and politically)
but if a letter about a statue (which somehow = history) is all it takes for you to warm to him ...

John A. Macdonald is a historical figure, a statue of John A. Macdonald is a statue based on a historical figure, so a statue of John A. Macdonald=History.
And yes, when political correct nonsense has run amok, I do warm to those who can show just a bit of common sense.
Sounds like Bernier is going to make his own party. Will be interesting if he can bring any other MPs on board and create a real rift, or he's going to be alone in it.
That would actually be kind of great. I haven't ever been really comfortable with the Federal "Conservative" party since the Reform Party ****wads took it over.Sounds like Bernier is going to make his own party.

It'd be nice if a new far-right splinter party could give a home to the social conservatives, white nationalists & anti-immigrant/anti-Muslim crowd, and leave behind a Conservative party that'd be free to fight with the Liberals for the political center. Though that won't happen as long as the socially conservative, Ezra Levant/Rebel-connected Andrew Scheer is running the party.
Yeah, I'll be kind of surprised if he brings any elected Federal MP's with him right away. He doesn't seem like a guy who's built many bridges within the CPC caucus.Who, if anyone, he ropes in to follow him will certainly be the real test. I'm guessing that he'll end up just trying to forge a mainstream libertarian party and won't bring any caucus with him, but you never know.

As for what kind of party he'll forge---if you'd asked me a year ago what kind of party Maxime Bernier would form if he decided to go it alone, I would've guessed that it'd be a fairly mainstream Libertarian Conservative party. But the anti-immigrant, anti-multiculturalism & anti-"political correctness" stuff he's been spewing out in recent weeks gives me pause.
I'm not sure why he'd do that if he didn't intend to court the racist, hard-right populist & anti-immigrant voters.

There is nothing in Bernier's prepared remarks about forming a new party nor any indication anyone is leaving the Conservative Party with him.
He didn't stick to the prepared speech.Sounds like he's just leaving and going solo for now, if he sticks to the prepared speech.
Yeah, the irony is pretty amazing.****ing frenchies criticizing multi culturalism is always a classic.
