Die Häuptlinge von British Columbia sagen dem Abgeordneten Aaron Gunn, er solle sich über Landanerkennungen „entspannen“.

Gunn will be Jamil Jivani’s successor as CPC leader.

In other words get used to having Mark Carney as Prime Minister. 

>North Island-Powell River MP Gunn had criticized the practice of land acknowledgments on Monday., saying on social media that the federal government should stop making them if it “truly believes in the private property rights of Canadians.”

This is really funny to me considering the entire country is built on top of broken property deals with First Nations.

I think I’m gonna stick with the leftist criticism of land acknowledgements – they are a very empty gesture that serves more to placate liberal feelings of white guilt than to actually reconcile or reimagine Canada as a country that treats indigenous perspectives on the land as being as valid as European perspectives.

The cowichan decision and subsequent horrible messaging on it by the Canadian left has basically been like cocaine to a certain kind of person here in BC. It gives people like Gunn who have always been hostile towards first nations a chance to take the mask off now because „the Indians are going to steal your land“ plays well to normies voters because government and the broader left are seemingly incapable of effectively explaining otherwise.

It does feel like between recent controversial court decisions and growing frustration with this sort of aboriginal NIMBYism blocking major projects which Canada really needs right now, the pendulum is really starting to swing the other way regarding reconciliation
