Some conflict around property was bound to happen sometime. What I find disheartening are the ideas that ordinary people are not culpable or that we might have reconciliation without having to give something up. The byword is still negotiation. All I have read from the tribe says the same.

Yes, but they don't see that act as a problem. In their mind, women are to be had and girls are just easier picking. The act is heinous; normalizing of the mindset is unmitigated evil.

The tribes' input is essential in any conversation about this. Their land was stolen and an entire nation's wealth has been developed from it without remuneration or consideration. Reconciliation requires understanding that there will be some pain and negotiation.

Yes, and McKenzie Scott as well. Think about it. Could explain the law firms, and some of the corporate bootlicking. x-presidents, some outside the US, sitting politicians, etc. Irony -- Maga wants it 'cuz they think it will indict Dems. Maybe it isn't about fascism, but a more sordid evil.

That's cool and I'm glad they exist, but as long as the Indian Act exists, Canada will always have a colonial problem. It is only when the settlers come to grip with that will the reconciliation begin -- but that's an opinion from a white settler immigrant

The tragedy of all this is the realization of how ancient and normalized this practice is among men. Boys will be boys has always been more dangerous than just hijinks among the young.

but he's not the only one, and in the long run, maybe not the most important one. The shear mass of big money that can be represented there is mind boggling. Foresee many divorce settlements, forced corporate retirements, some suicides, and some shift in political campaign finance even.

When we stop teaching men that women exist to be had then they might begin to listen.

When someone suggests repealing the Indian Act, I might think that colonialism is finally paying it's debt.

Sure. I don't sell short his accomplishments or his intelligence. Only his short-sighted, moneyed white male view of the world that results in same old, same old.

No. It is a backward walk in neo-liberalism that waves blithely at the existential threat of climate change, species extinction, fresh water availability etc. It believes in economics, not politics and avoids human issues. So, it could be a whole lot more forward thinking.

Yup. Ford has tried to destroy the University in Ontario since he got in. Pushing the "elitist, Liberal bastion" narrative and embracing the College system as "real life happens here." He is starving them, like he did with the health care system while working up to a private option.

Don't forget the fresh water usage. AI on this scale is an even bigger scam than tax breaks for moving facilties to your town. Maybe one of the consequences of devaluing and underpaying professional municipal decision makers and overvaluing growth, money and influence.

Why do you think he's extraordinary? To me he seems like a very ordinary neo-Liberal banker.
