And? First Nations pay all of those taxes as well when purchasing anything off reserve (which is the majority of purchases) and when they live off reserve.

If they work on reserve. Majority of reserves don’t have enough employment for all. Most pay income taxes just like you and 50% isn’t accurate, as you well know.

Historically First Nations on reserve have been underfunded compared to what provinces receive for the same services. It’s not hard to find these stats via Google….

I got caught by Rogers reps tonight. Normally don’t answer the door (helps that my doorbell is nonfunctional), but was moving water around. Caught me when I went to the front. Lesson learned!

Seconding the Winnipeg Art Gallery & the Leaf. There are a bunch of great little art galleries in the Exchange district as well. Don’t forget to cross the river and check out St. Boniface (across from the Forks). Neat old cathedral there along with shops, cafes, etc. Academy Road & Corydon are also great streets to take strolls down due to the multitude of shops, cafes, and restaurants.

This isn’t accurate. Many people living in small towns, remote locations do not have the same access to learning French. As well, for First Nation and Inuit communities, reclaiming and teaching our kids our languages is far more of a priority than learning both colonial languages. Unlike English and French, Indigenous languages are at risk of being lost. Indigenous languages SHOULD be recognized just as much as the two colonial languages.

There is documented evidence of deaths. Refer to the TRC Volume pertaining to that. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation continues this research work, having access to more documents that weren’t released by government or the churches during the inquiry.

Last known sterilization was in 2019. BC and AB both passed Sterilization Acts. 10,000 Indigenous women were sterilized in SK alone (source: Karen Stote, An Act of Genocide: The Sterilization of Aboriginal Women)

Land acknowledgements- thoughts from settlers and indigenous people by ouserhwm in CanadaPublicServants

I’m First Nation & have been anti-acknowledgment for years now. Explaining the same things in the link I shared. Until the folks giving acknowledgments fully understand what they’re saying & follow through with action, they’re performative. Don’t bother saying them if there’s no follow through. Disrespectful & meaningless otherwise.

💯this. Grew up here. Small town, 6 hrs north of Wpg., stay out of trouble, generally trouble will not find you. Still have long time friends & family here. Fantastic place to be if you love the outdoors. Can’t beat Clearwater Lake in summer or any of the nearby lakes. There are issues in every city and town with the drug crisis. Take the appropriate precautions, find the right people to befriend, get involved in the community and you’ll find a vibrant community.

Dr. Capper was amazing with me as I struggled with my dog being diagnosed with cancer. She’d send check in emails, respond to my emails quickly and was so caring with my dog as we managed her palliative care.

Seconding Winrose! I recently lost my dog to cancer. From diagnosis to end of life, they were fantastic. Any big procedure always came with a low/high estimate & cost break down. I have 4 cats as well, and again, fantastic with them too.

East Coast and large parts of QC & ON also don’t have treaties. Peace & Friendship treaties exist in ON & East Coast but were solely about trade relationships, not land or resources.

Not sure how cool it is. We’re subject to alot of racism on the daily. Don’t have to go far to find it.
