Is the Minister of Justice, Arif Virani, being advised about missing children and unmarked graves by the people who caused the problem in the first place?
Is the Minister of Justice, Arif Virani, being advised about missing children and unmarked graves by the people who caused the problem in the first place?
Lets not forget that the present Government (The one that is about to collapse due to fraud lies and traitors) is trying to pass a bill that will make it a hate crime for anyone who states this alleged genocide is false.
This is the same government led by Trudeau who just put a freeze on all handguns for responsible gun owners while allowing revolving door bail for criminals who shoot and threaten people with ILLEGAL handguns. This is the same government that persecutes ordinary law abiding citizens from Rebel news, and the truckers convoy and many other good law abiding Canadians while allowing terrorist Hamas types to tear up and burn the Canadian flag and threaten to kill all Jewish people in CANADA and otherwise trample on all Canadians rights by blocking roads and public buildings.
Arif Virani and all those mentioned in this article need to be fired and jailed for what they have done.
If one takes into consideration how much these four women have milked the Canadian Taxpayer through an incompetent PM in the millions,they must be considered Brilliant Master Minds of Deception! How much longer will the taxpayers place any trust in this present day government?
Kimberley Murray, Rosanne Casimir, Sean Carleton and the TRC commissioners are willingly playing the role of useful idiot for Kevin Annett. The stories about “missing children” are no more credible than stories about Martians landing in our backyard, but this sad, befuddled country has chosen to believe them - just because we are told to do so. Perhaps we deserve to be ordered around by fools
No rational, intellectually mature adult really believes these monstrous lies forged in the fire of hate, envy and resentment. Politicians are deathly afraid of being called, "racist" so they pretend to afford these mendacious falsehoods with pretentious sincerity. This charade will continue until someone, "sounds off like they have a pair" and exposes the truth. In the meantime, don't hold your breath. Thank you again for another breath of fresh air, Nina !!! We can all use more, "Wenecwtsínem (truth telling) ".
"Victimization status is the modern promised land of absolution from personal responsibility." ~ Laura Schlessinger
Today the left wing magazine The Walrus published an article about Canadian playwright Jani Lauzon, accusing her of being a Pretendian. She describes herself as Metis. She wrote a play "1939," about her father's experience at a residential school, which is being performed across Canada. Some of the aspects of this play indicate positive experiences and the residential school staff are portrayed as flawed, but human. The Walrus investigated. "What if none of this is true?" asked the article. I find it interesting that the left is questioning something like this play, but not the "missing children" idea. The theme of the article comes close to the idea of accepting the truth of what people write or say based on their Indigenous blood quantum, e.g. the more Indigenous the genetics of the writer, the more credible the story. Link to the article:
Joan liked this article to me in another post, but somehow I got to a different article and didn't read this one until now. I think the article is quite viscious. Had her play not been interpreted as a somewhat sympathetic take on IRS, I doubt she would have been attacked like this. It re-raises the question in my own mind: one might have one or two indigenous ancestors a generation or two ago, or have an indigenous and a white parent and claim to be authorative on all things indigenous that is consistent with this brutal racist narrative while denying or supressing any insight whatever into their white, presumably Christian, ancestry. A foundation of Christianity are the 10 commandments. How is it that these people can be so adamant that the missionaries, priests, Nuns, and lay people who did this work fell so far from their own foundations? It more and more beggars belief.
Further to your points, it's interesting that Tanya Talaga, for example, had a Polish-Canadian father and her mother was of mixed race, yet there's been little or no speculation on the veracity of her claims in her book "The Knowing," by the mainstream press such as the Globe and Mail.
This is another excellent essay by Nina. Thank you.
Something else these women may have in common is a white parent. I cannot find where Murray or Casimir discuss their genealogy. However, recently, Michelle Stirling has stated that Casimir has a parent who is white. This seems to be something at least some activists have in common, for example, Mary Simon, Wab Kinew, Niigaan Sinclair, and Jody Wilson-Raybould. (Others have white spouses, e.g., Phil Fontaine and Murray Sinclair.) I am not trying to suggest there is anything wrong with that . If anything, it points to something positive in Canadian culture. However, it does make me wonder if this radical activism has anything to do with burnishing indigenous credentials.
I suppose a bit of what makes this noticable to me is an experience I had in my late teens when Buffy St. Marie attended my high school. It was 1970 or 1971. Think of it. It was soon after Woodstock, and there she was in her buckskin shift. I was in awe of her, when she took the stage. I was shocked (and hurt, actually) when she lambasted us, admonishing us to "go back to where we came from". I had never heard anything like that before. I'd had a pretty troubling childhood, and didn't feel I had a home. In fact, I shared a room in a group home with a young native girl and her baby, and looked after her baby quite a bit since I had more experience with babies than she did. That experience of St. Marie stuck with me all my life. And then I learned she isn't actually indigenous.
So I'm asking, is there something in particular that is driving these pretendians and part-indians to be so bent on destroying relations between indigenous people and other Canadians?
My guess is they want a piece of the exceptionalism pie and a place for themselves on the 'right side of history'. And maybe an exemption from blame (as in, I could never be a racist; I'm Indigenous myself; my ancestors were among the oppressed, not the evil oppressors).
Interesting link. (Amy comment below is a bit confused sounding, I think.) Maybe there’s a different motivation for pretendians and partendians, or at least partially different.
I find the claims these people make against non-indigenous Canadians to be very racist, and yet they have a white parent. They are old enough that they may have (probably) experienced racism as children related to their indigenous ancestry, and I can see how that might create an adult who fights back. But I also believe that there was a time until the last several years, when other people were growing to be interested in, and admire, indigenous people. This activism is threatening that, in my opinion.
They have a white ancestry that is as significant as their indigenous identity. Yet, they express themselves in a way which seems hateful toward whites, and they also claim whites have been racist against them to the point of trying to wipe them out. They sometimes seem to hide their white ancestry, but they certainly don’t generally put it front and centre as part of their ancestry. There’s something kind of Freudian about it, or maybe it’s Jungian.
If I was biracial, I think that would feel really weird. I think it would make me feel “disordered”, or maybe I’d have to be “disordered” to get there.
Janice, I'm not sure where you're seeing an "Amy comment" (I don't find any comments on the Walrus site) -?
Based on what you're saying here (and I mostly agree with you), I think you'll appreciate Peter Best's review of Talaga's *The Knowing* (if you haven't already seen it): https://thereisnodifference.ca/?page_id=2358 (posted Oct. 18).
Thank you Nina for shining the light of truth on this cooked up ,evil story about the abuse and murder of young Indian children. If this Trudeau-led government, along with people like Marc Miller and now Virani
had even one ounce of integrity this fake story would have been stopped in its tracks. It has become a money-making enterprise promoted by the Indian managers working behind the scenes. They all need to be exposed but instead are protected by a media beholden to the government.
Should this absurd bill pass (due to virtue-signalling), millions of people, such as myself, will continue to speak out; there will not be enough jail cells and court will be backed up for years.
Silly Kemosabe. Healing Lodges are for indigenous offenders only (and I understand the waiting lists are long in any case). No, for denialist settlers who do not repent, there is a special place being planned: a Kneeling Lodge. Make sure you pack some knee pads in your to-go bag.
Nice to see you back. I guess I was just being over optimistic but I suppose with my handle I could probably get in. Just in case I don't I will learn to genuflect and supplicate to win favor of the Great Spirit in hope of an early release.
Thank you for continuing to bring the truth into the light of Day.
It’s sad to see such supposedly highly educated women surrendering logic and common sense for monetary and political gain; all the while their efforts are an affront and disservice to those that were actually victimized.
These four women have operated with a misguided and a malevolent mindset in an attempt to appease the perceived emotionality of society on this issue to gain society sympathy But the reality is that much of society now has seen the truth and has less respect and acceptance of all things indigenous.
Canadians need to ask themselves is the indigenous way of self-imposed segregation to the exclusion of all other Races, Creeds and Colours of people an acceptable form of racism within our society.
A very wise man once said:
"You're race should be incidental to who you are, not essential to who you are." Martin Luther King Jr.....It would appear too many forget that we are all just human.
Thoughtful comment, James. With respect to whether Canadians see this as "an acceptable form of racism": I wonder how we get there from this place, where even asking that question will be attacked as racist in order ro ensure any dialogue is silenced.
Thank you, you have in a very succinct manner summed up the abyss that Canada is headed for should these four women see success in having this profoundly immoral and Freedom attacking legislation pass into law.
My mantra now is “Equality for All, Special Status and Privilege for None” as the way forward for Canada.
Lets not forget that the present Government (The one that is about to collapse due to fraud lies and traitors) is trying to pass a bill that will make it a hate crime for anyone who states this alleged genocide is false.

This brilliant article contains a photo of The Four Horsewomen of the (Kamloops) Apocalypse
- Kimberly Murray, Rosanne Casimir, Tanya Talaga, and Jeannette Jules.
Don't mean to be picky, Jim, but you forgot to insert the word, "asses" between Horse and women, to make your sentence grammatically accurate.

Thank you for that reference. I have never seen Best so animated. Your referring me to his article was very insightful.
Typo. Was meant to read "my comment". Off to check your link to Best.
That is a real valid question, Janice.
An expensive toxic mess that hurts Canada.
Thank you Nina for shining the light of truth on this cooked up ,evil story about the abuse and murder of young Indian children. If this Trudeau-led government, along with people like Marc Miller and now Virani

Perhaps this conference will bring about the non-confidence vote...

Cheer up, Elizabeth, you may be afforded the option of serving your time in a Healing Lodge.

Apparently the Author of the CBC article was one of 2 Indigenous journalists on the flight with the Pope. It is pronounced GUN-heh-SEE-yo.
