Mercure et Psyché (Mercury and Psyché)
Reinhold Begas, 1878
My fiancé convocated from UWaterloo yesterday. Honorary degree recipient was Lee Maracle, who, during her speech, told us that indigenous people do not get "a single dollar" of Canadian tax money (???), talked about the Canadian genocide, and endorsed the NDP...
Not just that...convocation ceremonies bring in parents & other family members, some who fly in from other countries (e.g. China, India). So they will walk away with misinformation that came from an official university ceremony, which seems very irresponsible.
She also said indigenous people weren't allowed to go to university until 1968 which is just...false...
Halifax does appear to be littered with 'social justice' types with megaphone... that much is clear.
What you cannot overlook is that the only people not allowed to discuss race are whites.
In Halifax, all University events now begin with a proclamation of being in “K'jipuktuk, unceded Mi’kmaq terrority.” This is an outright lie as the Mi’kmaq surrendered to the British in various treaties in Nova Scotia from 1752-1761.
True, indigenous people didn't get a SINGLE dollar of Canadian tax money they get untold BILLIONS of Canadian dollars every SINGLE year. When will the collective guilt complex and national rip-off ever end? Continue to elect "progressive" governments and it never will.
