In retrospect, in the interest of full equality with non-indigenous people, both the British government and Canada's founders should have treated the indigenous people in precisely the same manner that such people were treated around the world;
A fair-minded review of Macdonald's contributions to our country, as both a Father of Confederation and as a strong advocate for its Indigenous peoples, suggests that he is one that we need to keep;
Assuming that Tagala’s emotion-logged diatribe is well-intentioned, it is still coming from an activist with little indigenous ancestry and even less enculturation to indigenous lifeways;
What Mehanna’s “Christmas in Palestine” display does is transform a Christian celebration into land claims and grievances about the war between Hamas and Israel;
“A museum dedicated to addressing contested histories, even when they are controversial, betrays Palestinians, Jews, truth and their own expressed mandate. That is the real Nakba.”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has flatly dismissed South Africa’s genocide allegations against Israel, calling them a shameless and dishonest attack on Jewish people and the Jewish state;
With all this biased ethno-religious baggage weighing her down, only some of which are listed here, it is no wonder that calls for Elghawaby’s dismissal have never subsided;

Alas, the comparatively benevolent treatment of our indigenous peoples from first contact to today is an observation never made by indigenous activists and their elected federal government supporters
The shrill comments of many commentators about Trump’s wish to peacefully absorb Canada tells me that Johnson’s notion of “false patriotism” is alive, if not well, in Canada.
money, equality, indigenous, Endless dependency, rampant sexual abuse, transparently fraudulent reconciliation, too many indigenous people will never have a chance to achieve their deservedly equal place in Canadian society
Most of all, the cultural genocide charge is rooted in weak social science because it ignores the indisputable fact that human beings can internalize features of two or more cultures
