Nope. On Native Land... more correctly, indigenous land.


I was all ready to eat crow and apologize, Cliffy, until I saw this! I guess first instincts are sometimes right!

I will not celebrate a corporation called Canada inc. where all of its "citizens" are nothing but chattel of the corporation and are enslaved by dept. This corporation was built on the blood of our indigenous peoples and they are still treated as 3rd class citizens, their children are still being stolen by government ministries and put into "white" homes which, by the definition of the UN human rights commission, is genocide.


Maybe you try to complicate things a bit too much, Cliffy. The human animal is what he/she is and that hasn't changed much since they first landed on the planet. The program was to travel from place to place and defeat and conquer all they encountered and often it was with better weapons and greater numbers. The Indians in the past generation or two have not been treated all that badly as far as material things go. The Catholic schools were a disgrace and sadly there are still victims of them, but in reality we have to move on.

Relax, for cripies' sake!

Have a cold beer! Set off some fireworks! Wear red and white! It will neither end the world nor change its spin one iota and you'll be more relaxed afterwards.

You do of course realise that not all residential schools were catholic , and that problems occurred in protestant schools as well ?

I still call it Dominion Day, cuz that has meaning.

Dominion Day has no meaning. There is no such thing. It was renamed Canada Day by Parliament. Are you going to send them a red sticky? :lol:

No, you'll give me one because you do not like the truth, and I was the one to deliver the message...again. :lol:

To repeat, there is no such thing as Dominion Day. It has no meaning because Parliament renamed it. Your government. The change was proposed by a Liberal Quebecker, when Pierre Trudeau was PM. I expect that angers you as well. Now, his son is PM. Some days you just can't piss a drop.



But wait! There's more!



Even this Dominion is defunct. Gone in 2008.

You can't explain a anything to Americans, especially if you are Canadian Americans. Look at a fukin map sometime, the only thing separating us is an imaginary line drawn on paper we are equaly stupid overweight sick people addicted to falsehoods about democracy and in total denial about reality and we,ve earned nothing but a precipitous decline into the geography of the continent where future generations will wonder at our collective idiocy if in fact there is to be any such study of human history after the great holocaust.

The gloom is low to the ground here today the birthday party has been a disaster.

What does Dominion mean?


I`m pretty fuzzy on that one, Walter- I have a vague feeling it was what Canada became after the Statute of Westminster about 1931. I know back in the day the State of Virginia was known as the ``Old Dominion``. It definitely has an aura of importance about it! :)

Christians have taken it to mean that their god gave them cart blanche to rape, steal and plunder the planet for their own profit. Rather a convenient interpretation of a mistranslation. The original Greek said "stewardship", not dominion but, hell, the planet is almost unsalvageable now so let the rape and pillage continue unabated until we extinct ourselves. The rest of the life forms will applaud and throw a party when we're gone.

Well judging from your recent health you may not be around to enjoy that party .

"...and god gave Justin Trudeau Dominion over Canada". Yadda, yadda... some passage or other in the bible.

Which means, on Tuesday, phone your doctor and make an appt for a checkup.

The doctor cannot cure Canada of the Trudeaus, but he can help you live a happier and longer life.


There you go, Walter. Now you understand what "Dominion" means. Nothing. A former stat holiday that was renamed Canada Day.

Here's Justy dancing with some Indians. Funny, there's no totem poles or feathers anywhere to be seen!

F**K you, Walter! :) :)

Didn't Justy's mommy sleep with Melvis? Or was it Rick Jagger?


You`re not inferring that if she had as many pr!cks sticking out of her as she had st!cking in her, she`d look like a porcupine É :) :)
