Interesting read, I find myself thinking it is not right but if it is it is quite scary on what's to come. https://www.macleans.ca/opinion/the-coronavirus-pandemic-is-the-breakthrough-xi-jinping-has-been-waiting-for-and-hes-making-his-move/ | ||

- Looking at the covid case count from China, its obvious they are full of shit. It's too bad the US is led by Trump doing petty BS with Canada with 3M and steel tariffs. Trump getting out of the TPP was a great thing for China. Canada needs to be more self sufficient. - Trudeau scolding Canadians for not social distancing is a bit comical. No stay at home order and not releasing the projections is an interesting move. - Trudeau not outright banning Huawei for their 5G technology is stupid. - The minority government won't be changing hands this year for sure. - Looking at a longer term view, how are we supposed to pay for the gigantic deficit with housing (probably) going down and oil way down. Taxes are going to go up. | ||

Cheers I feel like there's an opportunity for a good dialogue here if we can drop our animosities (at least here and now), but I won't press it if you're uncomfortable or just not in the mood or whatever for trying that out. Like a lot of women's issues (where you noticed my change in tone) I don't know much about Canada (despite it being within reasonable driving distance) so I think that will help me come off less agitating since I'm just curious (and just a little irresponsibly ignorant imo, even for a 'Merican) and hopefully avoid any habit I have of being condescending to my opposition (or in this case just interlocutor). If you're interested you can let me know, otherwise, enjoy | ||

But seriously I'm up for anything, though given the history I think baby steps are best. | ||

So, I do want to broach a sensitive topic so I'm going to be as considerate as I currently know how, and I just request you be as charitable as you can in interpreting my posts. If at any point you're not okay with the conversation for whatever reason (you don't need to include the reason) just let me know and I'll stop. We're here for Canada Day. That inspired a curiosity. In the US (forgive my references to it but it's my frame of reference) we have Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day and Juneteenth/the 4th of July. Is there a similar dynamic (assuming you're familiar with it) in Canada between an Indigenous Peoples Day and Canada Day from your perspective? | ||

Is there a similar dynamic (assuming you're familiar with it) in Canada between an Indigenous Peoples Day and Canada Day from your perspective? Before I do I have to really lower your expectations, I did not grow up on a reserve and for large parts of my life had little interactions on them. I'm far from a expert so just treat what as I say as anecdotal. With that being said no, not really. The bands themselves are all very different and don't even agree on much and even within each one there is a lot of disagreement, for example on the pipelines right now there is many who want them to happen because of the money generated and many who don't because of the importance of nature. From an outsider looking at the US there seems to be a lot of a shared voice then I am aware of here. When the residential schools stuff happened however, every one was pissed and there was more of a unified voice and anger like what seems to be happening up there. In Indigenous Canada relations there is a group who thinks that Canada has robbed the natives of land and wealth and so on and can never be forgiven for what they have done. On the other side there is people that are big on the reconciliation efforts and are all in on finding a way forward. Depending on whether the elected chief and the hereditary chief agree can give some indication on whether most of the band will agree. But some bands have not even ever signed the reserve agreements so you can imagine that a band like that might be like there. In my experience from when all the horrible stuff about the residential schools came out and most everyone was outraged there was some healing done and the I think most feel that the reconciliation effort is done in good faith even if kinda "fake" (not the best word but best I can come up with now). I'm not sure that it is exactly a bell curve but there is people who fall everywhere on the spectrum, often relating to their own personal experiences. And life on and off the reserve is very different so depending on where you might grow up it can be completely different. I never got the sense of rage toward Canada day (and never had any personally) with my group everyone was pretty happy to party and have a good time. Indigenous day was never important to anyone I knew and I hadn't heard much about it even until later in life. The big actual celebrations of culture were always the pow-wow's and they were not planned to happen on that day. For the most part everyone I know is pretty happy with Canada in general especially if we look abroad but there is also always something simmering under the surface than can spark up at anytime and then usually cools down as fast as it comes. I'm not trying to dodge your question, I'm just probably not the best one to answer it as my experience is not even like most, and it makes me feel awkward to talk like some kind of expert as I'm not. The best thing you could do is go to a pow-wow, act interested and involved. Most people especially the older are pretty excited and happy to share especially if you are participating and seem interested, the one thing I've been constantly impressed with is how well I'm treated as mostly an outsider and never seems to matter where the culture of sharing is one that seems pretty universal. I also always promote the http://walkingeaglenews.com/ because I like how humor can cut to the bone on some issues while still being digestible. You will probably relate to a lot of the stories. | ||

My outside impression (I did a little reading while I was waiting ) is that the "Cancel Canada Day" thing resembles more of Columbus Day/Indigenous People's day than the 4th of July/Juneteenth dynamic. A day that's more about confronting the current/historical circumstances for Indigenous peoples and opposition to celebrating a "disneyfied" creation story than a day of significance for the Indigenous peoples themselves. Various tribes/bands in the US have varying relations with both state and federal governments and gives them different perspectives on Columbus Day/the treaties* and it appears there may be a similar thing at play there. WEN is hilarious (in as much as it's appropriate for me to laugh anyway) btw | ||

Sounds like you have done the research in the right place and the people who invited you will likely be more informed than me. I'd suggest go and have fun (as much as is appropriate) meeting other like minded people is never a bad thing because you never know where in the future you might be able to help them or they might you. | ||
