It’s an act of bravery to use the word “Indians” for indigenous people. The article makes many wise points. In my view, Canada’s race-based laws or special rights to those with a sprinkle of native blood will sow a civil war over time. A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian!
They say the apple does fall far from the tree, but there are exceptions. Justin Trudeau is one. Pierre Trudeau and Chretien had it right in 1969 about the fallibility and impracticality of Nation to Nation relationships. However, by todays standards of delusional political correctness, their practicality is considered socially deviant. Canadians have become victims of the Tweedledee and Tweedledum political school of thought and yet, Justin shows no signs of tiring despite the fact that he must be exhausted from all his ego lifting.
“In reading The History of Nations, we find that, like individuals, they have their whims and their peculiarities, their seasons of excitement and recklessness, when they care not what they do. We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.”
