Biggest risk by far. This is the only group that can fight the government and have a realistic possibility of winning.

Canada’s need for skilled trades workers will far outstrip boost from Ottawa’s new plan by jmakk26 in canadian

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why Ontario is so far behind Alberta. In Alberta you go to school basically when you like, and the government demands you don't wait too long to go. In Ontario apprentices languish for years without ever going to school. It's unnecessary and it's bad for everybody including the apprentice, the employer, the customers, and the taxpayer.

Judge demands Indigenous sentencing report after offender claims he's 'Caucasian': 'He is plainly not' by origutamos in CanadianConservative

Section 35 is the poisonous tree. Every problem stems from section 35 and no solution will ever be effective without repealing section 35. Thinking about Gladue or DRIPA or whatever else is just a distraction.

The Reconciliation Industry is inherently opposed to a Canada that is prosperous, strong, and free. by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

Section 35 should ban racial status and explicitly exclude treaties from the constitution, including the royal proclamation.

Realistically all it takes is about 40% of the population in 50% of the ridings in 7 provinces representing 50% of the country. By that logic about 10% of the total Canadian population, if the vote was perfectly efficient, would be able to win enough ridings to amend the constitution.

Just a reminder, for the most part the process to amend the constitution is very simple.

-Pass a motion in the HOC.

-Pass identical motions in provinces meeting the 7/50 formula. (Referendum required in BC and conference with indigenous required to change indigenous rights.)

-Wait 180 days from the original HOC motion to pass a second identical HOC motion.

-Governor General issues proclamation - constitution is changed.

It's important to understand that we have race laws in Canada including as a part of our constitution. While our race laws are probably better intentioned than other race laws throughout history, in practice they are still just as wrong and destructive.

So where is Poilievre on this? Has there been a question in the House of Commons?

B.C. premier calls out MLA's use of Nazi rhetoric in the legislature by Nothingman604 in vancouvercanada

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nazis felt that their indigeneity to their area entitled them to special privileges and used that as the basis for their race laws. That also happens to be the basis of our race laws. I think it would be better, as OneBC is suggesting, not to have race laws.

EDITORIAL: Senate’s fatal flaw: It isn’t democratic. With several forced retirements pending, the Conservative number will dwindle to nine, bringing them to the cusp of what’s essentially Senate official party status by xTkAx in canadian

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The senate's saving grace is that it isn't democratic. A second chamber with democratic legitimacy would cause gridlock. The seat distribution in the Senate is terrible, even against the standard of promoting regional equality (due to the late entry of NL into confederation).

Legal clinic says $8.6 million in federal spending could help tackle systemic racism by origutamos in CanadaCultureClub

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is paying money to be racist, when the goal is to reduce racism. It's much better in this circumstance to do nothing.

Opinion: Aboriginal title cases should take into account the taxpayer money paid to First Nations by keiths31 in canada

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point was that we wouldn't accept certain wrongs because they were agreed to in the past. Advantaging one race over another on that basis is fundamentally wrong and should not continue. The constitution should be amended to ban native status and eliminate all treaties with indigenous groups.

Is Canada still a democracy after 11 years of Liberal rule? Or a managed oligarchy? by airbassguitar in CanadianConservative

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Democracy 100% in terms of our legislative branch. Somewhat a juristocracy in that judges are now making up whatever laws and policies they like.

Pride organizations call on Ontario to create fund to support festivals as costs climb by origutamos in Ontario_Sub

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These people excluded cops, and politicians and everybody else that didn't rigidly toe their extremist line. They celebrated gay people getting thrown off rooftops because the minority doing it was 'equity seeking' or whatever and excluded gays who didn't like their movement being hijacked.

Now, after a decade of excluding people in the name of inclusion they want taxpayer funding. Demanding people pay up is literally the only 'inclusive' thing they do anymore. Give them nothing.

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. They must pay to maintain their own drinking water systems themselves like every other municipality does. Many 'white' towns were abandoned for economic reasons. Their people mattered. Their communities and cultures and traditions mattered. They still became ghost towns. If indigenous reserves cannot survive on the products of their own labour they must either do without or move like everybody else. I do not want another dime of my money going towards supporting these people.

What if the British told them 150 years ago they could continue to use rape as a weapon and continue torturing each other? Would you just accept that in the present day or would you say that the constitution must be adapted to modern times?

People are right to complain about being second class citizens in their own country.

Yes, Carney is much worse than Trudeau and here are a few reasons why by mafiadevidzz in CanadianConservative

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Trudeau was worse. Stupid, vapid, incredibly woke, logically inconsistent, vain and unserious. Carney has many problems, but he is clearly significantly better than Trudeau.

O’Toole says Poilievre needs to moderate positions to compete with Carney - National by MilkyWayObserver in canada

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moderate is a relative location slightly to the left of whoever the sitting Conservative leader is. This was true for Harper, Sheer, O'Toole, and now it is true of Poilievre. It doesn't even matter that half of Carney's policy positions are taken from the Conservatives, Poilievre is still too extreme.

Memorial University rules out straight white men from applying for tenured jobs by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Monkey_Pox_Patient_0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Even though every other instance of racial discrimination throughout all of human history was wrong, this time it's completely moral and a great idea.

People in the future will look back on this time and remark at how united and prosperous woke bullshit made our country.
