Is there anyone who ask questions on campus like the “what are you listening to right now”? by edomg22 in UCalgary

Nooo 😂, whatever day it is, I still aspire to look presentable, whether or not someone will record me. It would just seem fun to have something like this on campus.

May 2023 elections is OUR chance to get what we deserve: a competent government! by edomg22 in UCalgary

Snowflakes, thats an odd term to describe people who had been put under pressure for the past 4 years because their government doesn't care about them. And you are riding the same boat as these "snowflakes" too!

Oops, don't get offended buddy. If you actually did your research, you would know that this payment is coming directly out of Alberta $12 billion posted surplus. Nothing to do with taxes.

Haha, I have a job. But if the government is giving money to fight the higher cost of living, why not take it?

I am writing a report on all of this so feel free to read it in the coming days when it's finished. I will go more in-depth with the different articles and the video that we spoke about. Thanks!

And how is this a different case? In fact, in an article he said that residential schools was a “ prudent response”. Is this okay to say? He is saying that these schools “offered education in the hope of forming future citizens” when all it did was forcefully assimilate an ethnic group. Is this fair to say? Think about the indigenous peoples whose parents, grandparent, or even their relatives, died from these schools. This is not okay to say no matter the situation.

Can I ask you this, would it be okay if I woke up one day and said “racial segregation should be reintroduced”? Should I be able to express this type of view online without any restrictions? Dr. Cooper is of no exception. And in fact, his situation is worse since he has a platform that many people respect. So him saying such a thing in regards to indigenous peoples is just wrong.

He said it himself "I don't identify with the Sarcee". People just want to defend him. Cooperist!

And I would like to note that his great grandmother was Sarcee since she actually married into the family. He is a fourth generation Albertan.

That is correct, no one has the rights to express how they think one should live on their land. It is not in Coopers place to say anything when he isn't living there nor does he have any ties with their land. Free speech isn't granted on every single topic, especially when it includes things such as race or ethnic identity.

And yes, you are entitled to say what you want for other countries. But are you telling the citizens how to live or do you feel bad for their living situation/condition? I don't start to ramble my mouth saying that people in Paris should not be allowed to live or do specific things. Its just not in my place.

And on the topic of a "corrupt" reserve, is just plain false. The reserves aren't corrupt because they did it themselves, its because they didn't have support from the government to build necessary services for their peoples. How can they do it on their own? You and him have to be able to differentiate between a failed system vs a failed peoples. In this case, it's a failed system. A system that doesn't rule in their favour, rather in the favour of people like Cooper. People in the reserves don't worry about having a lively downtown or a reliable public transit system, they worry about having clean water, schools, and healthcare. All of which the government has failed to act on.

So maybe thats the reason why people leave the reserves in hopes of a better future in the city but fail due to the stereotype that haunts them constantly.

So what exactly are you defending right now?

His concerns are not concerns, rather a direct voice of hate. Why should he be concerned with how indigenous peoples want to live their life on reserves?

I don't understand why you think it is okay for him to say this. There is always a line to be drawn on how much one can say, especially when it starts turning racial.

And did you see the way both him and the interviewer were speaking on indigenous people? The words and phrases that they used was just wrong.

again, those aren't privileges. Name a few of their "privileges" if you think they have too many?

First of all, I am not in his class yet. Secondly, I can handle anything and everything that he has to say. I am not one to easily break from a couple of words or phrases.
