One of many reasons why UNDRIP and the related “nation to nation” are illogical policy is this: The policy applies to rural indigenous people, but not to urban indigenous people. Here’s the problem - often they are the same people. There is much back and forth from the reserve to the city. How can it make sense for a person to be a Canadian when in the city, but then a Cree or Ojibway when he goes back to the reserve? This confusion is made even worse by the fact that the Cree man is somehow a citizen of one particular Cree community. None of this grand policy has been thought out. The founders of this country had it right when they declared the we are all equals. Indians were placed in wardship and tutelage only to prepare them for life as equals. Unfortunately our founders didn’t put a time limit on this temporary status, and it has now become permanent apartheid

Thousands of MY PEOPLE (Romany) were killed by Nazis in WW2 at Sobibor, Treblinka, Sachausen, Auschwitz and many other camps so do I suffer from Genocidal rememberance, no of course not, how ridiculous what a load of horse shit, grow T.F. up and get over it, get a job, get sober and try to contribute something to society, what a bunch of lyin wankers.
