I’m not victim blaming, it’s been proven even from people living on reserves that they don’t see this money come to them (sometimes this is not a absolute truth). What we need is A) build proper housing that’s safe B) provide clean drinking water (i cannot believe this is still an issue in 2024) and provide medical care and mental health support to those who need it. And we need to work with these people on the ground, not a representative. This problem needs to end once and for all, and these people need to be recognized as equals, not less.
Proven? Provide proof.
You seem to know what these people need. What are you willing to do for them? Would you rather fight and die for the Country of Canada or for the people whose land has been stolen?
It sucks being forced to pick a side. I hate it. I don’t want it. I want to live in peace but bad people keep doing bad things. My life is threatened when any other group of people are targeted. Sitting on the sidelines pointing fingers at everyone just lets the bad people gather more strength. A person’s inaction is someone else’s death.
To be transparent on my part, I have not done anything to help beyond learning and listening. I am however working on a project currently that aims to bridge the knowledge gap, even just a little bit.
It’s easy to say things, a lot harder to do them.
If it came down to it, I’d die fighting for indigenous people. Invading forces means nothing. If Russia or China took over Canada, that just means even more genocide so what’s the difference if Canada is already commiting genocide.
i’m going hand’s off on this one. You just said that we are committing genocide right now. yikes.
Canada is genocidal. From Indigenous peoples to supporting the genocide of Palestinians, Canada is genocidal.
The year is 2024, we stuffed a group of people into reservations and federally announced that we don’t need to provide clean drinking water to the people forced into those reservations. You mentioned that yourself.
Just because there’s no bullets flying does not mean these people aren’t suffering. Physically, mentally, it’s pain for them. I stand by my statement.
The yikes should be pointed at those to enable these horrifying actions. The yikes should be pointed at those who refuse to acknowledge these horrifying actions.
