    Refugee/Migrant Crisis

    Weirdly, above, it doesn’t say in the story or the link why the man who sometimes goes as “Sue” is being deported? Sometime “Sue’s” work visa expired, and when he applied for refugee status, his application — and subsequent appeals — were rejected. Why didn’t Sue just apply to renew his work...

    Yes. Not just Europeans, but Canadians and Americans, according to their own systems, it seems. Much of Canada’s comes from the Indian Act…& I’m just not up on the American system for this. That’s why I was having an issue, wrapping my head around the whole division of Natives from Alaska being...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Holy Cow…a middle school teacher, so depending on the definition probably grades 6-9, so threatening a student that’s probably 11yrs old to 14yrs old? What was this flag doing in the classroom? She? This dude, a teacher, was threatening to behead a 11-14yr old (assumably) girl (assumably?)...

    Ahhhh….ok. Band, Clan, Tribe, Nation, Confederation’s?, Now Nations inside of Nations (& not talking about Quebec). Slowly making more sense, but maybe as Canadian political division as opposed to American political divisions? Then weirdly, interestingly weirdly, this:

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    I just find it ironic that this was one of his driving camping promises in 2015 because it was 2015-ish…& then it never came to fruition, and again it never did in the next two elections…& in all of them the Conservatives had the popular vote (more Canadians voted for Conservatives than...

    Honestly, I’ve never thought of the natives in Alaska as Alaska natives, or the natives in Hawaii has Hawaii natives, or even as American natives….& as far as the Hawaiian branch goes, I’ve just thought of them as Polynesians…. Never made that distinction. The natives in Alaska were just...

    Inuit & Dene see themselves as something very different. I’ve lived in the north, so I know, but most wouldn’t.

    When I was letting the dogs out for a pee in the night last night, I guess I was a little clueless and not really awake. Same again early this morning before the coffee kicked in. Weird question, but are there enough native actors from each Nation (I think what you’re calling Nations we call...

    I think I’m on the wrong track and I thought we were labelling off our favourite native American actors? That’s where I was going with things, so I misunderstood the whole thread.

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    Huh….how about that. S’toon Star Phoenix. In an alternate reality, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is breathing easier about the apparent flight of supporters from his Liberals to the federal Conservatives. In that universe, Trudeau kept what might be the boldest campaign promise in Canadian...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Officially known as “A/ES-10/L.27,” the General Assembly resolution demands an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire.” Although it also demands the “immediate and unconditional release of all hostages,” no mention is made of Hamas, or of any requirement for the terrorist group to surrender or...

    The Rock, everyone’s favorite, everything, and nobody knows who he is or what he is. He might be Native…he might be from India…he might be from Hawaii…he might be your neighbour, etc… Seagal for the historical tieback to the spaghetti westerns. Call it tongue in cheek homage to a less...

    Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson plays everyone & everything. Nobody knows who or what he is and everybody seems to claim him. Then there was Steven Seagal (and his coat) in several movies…& I think both Steve & his jacket where going for that Native thing….

    Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

    It dawned on me that this thread just didn’t exist. It is mentioned a lot (usually by me) across many many (many) other threads….but there’s no thread in and of itself regarding the Non-Coalition Coalition that has ruled our country pretty much since Justin & Jagmeet came out of the closet due...

    Between what China ties up in Russia and Northern Canada, they will have a significant portion of the northern hemisphere under their thumb.

    Iran. Maybe Syria. It’ll be a whole lot harder to “negotiate” with them now.

    Canadians likely to be targeted by foreign actors in next election, cyber agency says

    Huh….gets weirder. Paris prosecutors are investigating the apparent suicide of an actress who alleged she was sexually assaulted decades ago by Gérard Depardieu. Emmanuelle Debever, who was 60, died in hospital on 7 December after she was found in the River Seine in Paris. Prosecutors said the...

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    This is Canada. Will slap a carbon tax on them, then another one with a different name so it seems like there’s only one, then a third one and will call that cap and trade so it seems like it’s a different entity altogether and not related to the first two, layered together….& then we’ll tax...
