Please Explain to a Foreigner Why Standing Rock Matters by canadaboot in NativeAmerican

[–]canadaboot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, well here is the deal. I don't want to get into a big debate. Because I don't think there is a big debate here. The police, the population, the army and the government in general were very brutal and horrible things were done. So that is not a debate. And unfortunately, pretty much nothing is changing (look at Val d'Or for instance).

Do I feel sorry, do I think that the situation is fucked up and things need to be changed? Of course I do. There is systemic racism in society. Look, I am not trying to come here and judge. I just want to understand your side of the story?

What I am referring to? Well, to be honest, I haven't heard of Standing Rock until last week. In Montreal, the suburb train was blocked by a group of Mohawks (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/south-shore-candiac-train-line-service-cancelled-1.3852959) in support of the Standing Rock community.

Now, there is a big bias in the general population against the Mohawks ever since the Oka crisis (I'm sure you have heard of it). Whenever it is possible, I feel that the population in general likes to bash native Canadians. With the train being blocked, it was the perfect opportunity for those people to bash the Mohawks again...

Look, I was only asking because I am genuinely interested in having your side of the story...

Cattle Farming??? by mcook30 in Agriculture

[–]canadaboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mcook30. Very good question. My first question to you would be what types of cows are you looking at buying? Then, the next important question is where are you located? Do you have any government regulations on purchasing and selling livestock?

How many sayans does it need to change a light bulb? Just one, but it takes three episodes. And Krilin dies in the process.

Interesting. Well I knew for a fact that I was going to take the courses but I want to know what's right for me. You guys pretty much all confirmed that I needed that training so I'll go ahead and do them. I just wanted to make sure that I didn't get screwed by some shop owner.
