All of this makes perfect sense from the perspective of the rabbit hole world we now live in. The Constitution is no barrier to indigenous placation. It can be molded into any shape for the purpose of appeasement. Just ask our very own Cheshire Cat, Marc Miller. It's all part of the, "Nation to Nation" dialogue. Your wish is our command. Soon Medicine Men will be part of the provincial health care delivery service paid for by the Canadian Tax Payer. Thanks Justin !!!
What we are seeing here is a decadent leading-edge Balkanization and abandonment of modern beliefs, practices and values, and an impending descent into barbarism, where faith and reason part company such that faith becomes blind and reason, anybody's.....as deregulation of the social system and privatization of accountability dissolves existential and social infrastructure and an economy and culture which once represented a disciplined hierarchy of needs and wants, devolves into narcissistic fantasizing without boundaries or objective checks on reality, across all platforms.
The fact that these reported conversations are now being institutionally operationalized only serves to underline how far we have gone down that slippery slope of civilizational decay.
It is not enough merely to critically evaluate postmodern mythologizing and quasi-religious fundamentalisn..
The only way we can save ourselves is to start to advocate for a deWoking that will look very much like a rerun of the deNazification of Germany after WW2, where Woke are similarly held accountable and disinstitutionalized for their mythologizing race and sex identity narratives, and their totalitarian debasement of the language and processes of discourse; i.e., consciousness itself that is now trained to reject rational evidence based thinking in favor of mystificatory propaganda and groupthink.
Part of the reason this has not happened is that The Woke are not alone in these vices. The Woke form only one section of the ruling class that has carriage of the system of social reproduction and administration.
The bastions of the older forms of capital and their traditional working class have exactly the same problems with getting to grips with reality, as we have seen recently with fossil energy industry and traditional religious science denial and fundamentalism, whether we are talking anthropogenic climate change or the theory of evolution.
And that is reflected in declining standards of governance integrity and the rise of chaotic behavior across all platforms, whether we are talking financial services, energy companies, political and educational institutions, family life and stability, or the propensity for dysfunctional behaviors inside the welfare sector.
Indulgence looks great up front. Who doesn't like being cut a bit of slack with their sub-optimal attitudes and conduct? Who doesn't like to be relieved of responsibility for meeting certain standards? Who doesn't like having too much of a good thing, or having their favorite fantasies indulged because they deserve it and owe it to themselves?
But as the years and decades pass, an indulgence economy and culture start to acid burn their own infrastructure and boundaries, until there isn't much left to burn, which is where we are right now, which is already a very damaged and dangerous space.
This isn't just the fault of the now neo-clerical public and private sector Woke, who are 'the church' of Indulgence Capitalism. Its corporate mining, manufacturing and industry services 'crown' is no different in its own way. The whole system now looks eerily similar to the corrupted institutions of the medieval world when the Reformation started to rent its traditional existential and social fabric and the rise of urban capitalism started to replace its means of production, which eventually turned humanity towards modern times.....whose time perhaps is up and turn has come, to fall into the garbage dump of history.
Just a comment on your incorrect use of the term homeopath. I suspect you were thinking "naturopath". Homeopathy is a defined form of treatment which, in its classical form, doesn't include herbs.
Otherwise, great article which raises some interesting and valid questions.
BC has its own First Nations Health Authority. The province is divided into regions called health authorities. FN have their own, as of around 2013. Federal health care money for the province is diverted in part to the FNHA. Yet regional health authorities continue to care for FN peoples in BC, and actually call the majority of their clients "settlers" on their websites, all in keeping with Horgan's rushed and naiive adherence to UNDRIP and the resulting provincial legislation that enshrines that in law. Where the publicly funded health authorities are accountable to the province for spending and results, the FNHA is not. It is only accountable to its clients. The goal of the FNHA is ostensibly to "fill gaps" but there is still a rush to media when things like helicopter bills to service remote villages go unpaid. Apparently FNHA funding does not cover that and the province/taxpayers have to. Seems like fancy double dipping.
What utter nonsense that the problem is colonization. If the goal is to romanticize and placate everything indigenous, end modern medicine on reserves and bring back witch doctors in animal hides and waving bone rattles.
