    So let me ask -- do you find the current trend of burning down Catholic churches across Canada acceptable.

    Two more Catholic churches burn down on Indigenous land in southern B.C.
    St. Ann's Church in Hedley and the Lower Similkameen Indian Band church were destroyed by fire at about 4 a.m. Saturday.

    No, but I can understand why someone may have done this given the past crimes committed against their community and the completely unacceptable current reaction of the Catholic Church.

    You know in the U.S. deliberately burning a church, temple, mosque or other religious dwelling is a hate crime under both federal and state law. Why isn’t this a hate crime in Canada?

  4. It was the Canadian Parliament that enacted the law to dislocate the kids to all sorts of places that were not their home or their village. Not the Pope. That's why they were there in the first place and the government overlooked and condoned any problems in the places where they were sent.

    So if there is burning going on for those responsible, Canadians might want to put some extra protection around the Parliament building be because therein is root cause of the problem. Although it was just an expression of the will of the racist Canadians and basic colonial oppression.

    Shame. Total shame.

    Who said it isn't ? In fact, Canada's hate crime laws cover more ground then the US. They haven't caught anyone yet on the fires. We have however been far more vigilant in charging "Real" Canadians with hate crimes against native communities in recent years. I would note that the majority of these crimes and related racist activity against natives occurred in Western Canada. Like in Alberta TreeFrog's favorite "conservative" province. Funny I don't see his favorite politicians taking a lead on this; we barely hear a peep from Alberta politicians.

    Attacking Trudeau and current day Canadians that had nothing to do with these atrocities is missing the mark badly pretty mostly a giant joke of a troll on here. And in very bad taste. The facilities where the kids were murdered are public knowledge; their employees and church affiliations are known. Start with that. I have ZERO connection to any of this. Hell, if you were Catholic there would be more need for you to apologize for the role of the Church in this then anything I need to do.

    I've been an avid critic of racism on this site for many years. Including challenging TreeFrogTrader's "Real Canadian" campaign. I've lived here more then 50 years basically spent my whole life here. I'm as real a Canadian as they come. And I don't accept this anti-immigrant bs that these racist pricks like TreeFrogTrader post about almost every week.

    It's ridiculous that he dares try to champion this cause given who he is as a person and how he carries himself on this site.

    From June 7th :

    If course weeks later he just got worse. He has no morals it's all a game to him. The native children apparently died so he could use them as a tool in his games. Continued references to "Fake Canadians" as well a clear racist theme. Time to block these idiots life is too good in Canada to care about this shit anymore.

  7. When the fake canadians beat their chest and get uppity about how good their covid numbers are, keep in mind that their numbers are fake too.

    Ok, so Ontario just passed the US on the fully vaccinated percentage. And Americans have had a ton of opportunity to get vaccinated it's just a ton of them that refuse to do so. And some of them are out mingling like they did, leading to far more hospitalizations than should ever occur at this point. Seems kind of ignorant.
