How did that "noble savage" myth work out?:
There, in a nutshell, is the position of the white French government and its racism of lowered expectations. The aboriginals can't be expected to be adults in a country where everyone else is.
Case in point:
Who cares if she kills people? She's special because she's an Indian and residential schools and stuff, right? Let's make a separate set of laws just for her!
What will Justin do when this paternal racism wears off and aboriginals either reject this special status or become so inured by it that they become their own corporations?:
An Indigenous group planning to bid for ownership of the Trans Mountain pipeline is launching a “listening tour” of Indigenous communities in B.C. and Alberta.
Project Reconciliation ...
(Sidebar: there's that word again.)
That's what regulatory processes are for, which have already been done in this case.
Is anyone else tired of this multi-tiered system?
Speaking about the relationship between the government and Indigenous Communities, Trudeau said this, as reported by CTV News:
“We have to be patient. We have to be present. We have to be unconditional in our support in a way a parent needs to be unconditional in their love — not that there is a parent-child dynamic here.”Trudeau also said Indigenous communities need to be able to “make their own mistakes.”
There, in a nutshell, is the position of the white French government and its racism of lowered expectations. The aboriginals can't be expected to be adults in a country where everyone else is.
Case in point:
An Ontario judge has raised colonialism, racism and the inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women as reasons for declaring part of Canada’s impaired driving laws are unconstitutional, arguing it’s unjust to give a criminal record to a 22-year-old Indigenous woman caught with a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit.

An Indigenous group planning to bid for ownership of the Trans Mountain pipeline is launching a “listening tour” of Indigenous communities in B.C. and Alberta.
Project Reconciliation ...
(Sidebar: there's that word again.)
... says the tour will begin in Kamloops in mid-August and will invite First Nations and Metis Nation people and communities along the pipeline route from Edmonton to the West Coast to share their thoughts about Indigenous ownership.
Delbert Wapass, executive chair and founder of Project Reconciliation, says the tour will provide information on his group’s proposal but is also designed to gather feedback to be reflected in its final submission to the federal government.
That's what regulatory processes are for, which have already been done in this case.
