    Gonna need a source on “true north white and free”…

    Which version was that? because the official versions going back at least 4 decades didn’t say that.

      @HikingVet I first heard that , thrown as a taunt, at a small bridge crossing into Metepanagiag where a small blockade was assembled as a response to a commercial fishing lodge being put up at Curvington/Second Oxbow and some after skirmishes of the fisheries war. the comment may have also been thrown about around the lack of consultation during the failed Meech Lake Accord.

      As in “who do you think you are? the true north white and free?!” they convinced me to stand with them. i never regret

                Doesn’t matter the colour of my skin.

                My issue currently is you didn’t do shit about racism and are advocating an ethno state by a minority. Those don’t work very well.

                Buddy, just because they are a visible minority doesn’t give them the right to be shitty. And by extension you don’t get to be either. Especially if you are advocating for them.

                Check YOUR fucking privilege before sounding off…

                  @HikingVet bottom line. I acknowlege i am standing on the unceded Mi’kmaq territory of Sikniktuk.

                  Their land, waters, and airspace. and they have the archeology, paleoentology (protoprimates) , and treaties to prove it.

                  Many attempts were made to divide from the acadiens with wedge issues. and François Legault furthur tries the same up in Maria. a large influx of refugees willing to respect the First Nations would be wonderful.
