I directly addressed the points you were attempting to make. What you're saying is that you think your needs are more important than those of Indigenous people whose land you occupy. It's very clear what you're actually saying despite all the sophistry you're using. You are a supporter of reconciliation entirely on your terms, that's not what reconciliation is.
Your whole argument is inherently premised on prioritizing one claim over another. The fact that you don't even understand the implications of what you said yourself is frankly hilarious.
I never said prioritizing. I said both expropriation if appropriate, but also compensation to those who lost land. I said both.
You clearly think of all of the people like me as second class citizens, at least with respect to homeland. But generally, you do not consider the people on the other side to be equals with their own value and their own pain. You have made it clear in the way you insult me and call me a clown, and misinterpret what I say. I have not insulted you once.
You seem to believe that this is a zero sum game and we must lose so you can win. I will not be able to understand that position. It will only lead to worse outcomes.
I'm sorry we can't find a way to understand each other.
It's like you don't understand what the word
impliedmeans.See, you're just doing projecting here because you very clearly see First Nations people as second class citizens whose rights are superseded by your own. Nobody is misinterpreting anything you said here.
More projecting, because nowhere did I say anything of the sort. You're just putting words in my mouth because you're unable to engage honestly with what's being said to you.
This is not going anywhere. I've made it clear that I don't think of anyone as second class, I never diminished FN claims, and I think I was abundantly clear about what I was asserting, so any implying that you see is entirely of your own making.
You don't trust me and you are obviously not willing to understand me. There's nothing here to discuss. I gave my honest and forthright concerns and you see it as an attack.
I've got enough stresses in my life. I don't need to create more online. Best of luck to you.
Yup, you made it clear that you see your property rights as being more important than the rights of the people whom Canada conducted a genocide against. I understand you perfectly fine. Bye.
