Happy Canada Day

I love Canada and if I could live there it would be Vancouver or Toronto

Heh heh, I don't even think of those places as being Canada!
I lived in Toronto for a bit, my brother's been living there 25 years.

I think of them as like their own little fiefdoms, kind of like what Samoa was in the 1800s when lawless sailors and passengers of all Nations would stop by.

They're not representative of this land, particularly Toronto which is more like a big Yankee city regarding the violent crime rates.


Oh yeah, just last Wednesday, Vancouver formally announced that their city sits on unceded, unsurrendered First Nations land, 3 First Nations in fact.
Imagine being a Canadian citizen where you bought a little property, built a house, paid all the taxes, and then Vancouver announces that they sold you land that they didn't own?!

It means about 891 thousand Canadian homes are illegally occupying First Nations land in Vancouver.

More important and historical was the Tsilhqot'in First Nation's land claim win in the Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday.

A new free app was released on Monday covering 5 indigenous languages in Saskatchewan.

Last week was one-hell-of-an-exciting week regarding these kinds of issues!
