One of My Reasons to NOT celebrate Canada Day
See CBC Article
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2012/07/01/edmonton-canada-day-events.html
I am reposting this early post on Fb in relation to Canada Day Events in Redneck Edmonton, AB: Do not celebrate Canada day and never will till Canada resolve their tarred and racist position against Canada’s 1st people, and stop their conservative, liberal , and other euro-centric judges and their condemnation of our people standing b4 them in the courts. I hear these stories all the time form lawyer friends, who see the judges condemning our people regardless of the systemic racism that Native people endure in life resulting in survival tactics that get them in trouble because the politics of dysfuntionality and survival takes over their thinking. With these judges admonishing our people before them regardless of the failed assimilation policies of racist Canada, and that colour of skin does matter when it comes to racism, colonialism, and what defines the success and failure of individuals in dominant capitalist society. Remember Chief Dan George's centennial speech on Canada Day Salish Territory last century. Miigweech
