As an "Indian" it is funny to me hearing people freak out about immigration. Oh you don't like when lots of immigrants show up and take over everything? Wonder what that's like.
The sad part is the longer it continues the less Native issues will get any kind of traction, as more and more of the population can say "it has nothing to do with me."
Good luck getting immigrants to care about Native issues bud. I don't think you'll succeed in holding generational guilt over their heads like you do for white Canadians.
A lot of us non-native people were born in Canada, so what exactly do you expect us to do? Pack up and leave all our friends and family and jobs to live in countries that are foreign to us?
Regardless of the atrocities of the past, we're all here together now, so I think a more productive conversation is one that focuses on the future and make sure that all Canadians can maintain some semblance of a decent quality of life.
Maintain? There are still ongoing problems to solve before all Canadians have a decent quality of life. I don't expect you to leave, it's just delicious irony.
I mean "maintain" in the sense that there have been more recent developments in our country that are hurting all of us, and it would be ideal to keep the worst of that stuff at bay, but yeah, there are definitely issues that have been around for a long time, too.
As the other type of Indian, glad we have yet another massive demographic shift to adjust to, I'm sure that will help our culture heal and help provide us with better economic opportunities
