shouldn’t you be speaking French?
Michif.
They’re not educated on that subject matter
@Paulino Lamborghini we’ve come a long way since the Plains of Abraham, no? i miss the days when history went further back than the 1950’s
THIS IS EVERYTHING.
If you think the Scandinavian Vikings came to Newfoundland and a couple Indians told them to go away I think you better rethink history
No but it’s known they encountered them the stories about Vinland while disputed point to them having discovered somewhere that sounds a lot like New Brunswick.
@Jesse Nash Vineland check and see how many berries natural Vined berries are in Newfoundland
@Gary Clothier not vineland Vinland it’s a place recorded that the Vikings founded and covers a large area of the Atlantic side of Canada, but the descriptions match New Brunswick more than any other location.
@Jesse Nash VINE LAND
@Gary Clothier no it isn’t lmfao
Well. Why are you receiving welfare checks from another government then? 😂😂😂
pay your owen way
We are starting to have a lot of nations inside our nation.
Powder keg
Starting? We’ve always been here. Have you?
@Mark Great we already get millions from the federal government every year. So no, it’s not about money. But I don’t expect an imbecilic brain dead person to understand what is really happening in Canada.
Just keep drinking your timmies and go back to work.
This is a publicity stunt with no meaning.
Too effing many.
This has been a long time coming. Thank-you for all that was done to make this happen. I am Metis and very proud of it. Thank you.
Isn’t a Metis half French – Half Indian? so when the monthly cheques come do you get 1/2 as much?
@me notyou who their parents are does not decide welfare lol. Where you live does
So @me not you…you really have no clue about the Metis Nation. You must spout off about everything and anything just to hear yourself talk. Sad!
Métis started there life in Canada taking over Upper Fort Gary and blackmailing Canada.
You may have your own governing body but you clearly have no education when it comes to actual government from what you are saying. your literally proving yourself wrong….no words
Keep the cash flowing…
We’re a government that doesn’t govern and doesn’t stand on its own two feet. 150 years, still proving that it can’t walk the walk unless its with your hand out asking for more.
Says the guy collecting CERB
@Kevin Huewan yeah ur right he was collecting cerb at the same time. What a disgrace
I really like this guy lol. Maximum energy! Congratulations
Pretty sic vest too I might add 👏
I’m cool with them self governing so long as my tax dollars are not going to them. Self governing equals paying your own way.
@Amanda Merrick And what makes it theirs and not mine?
@Seed.2.420 Prior claims.
Have you ever read a book on Canadian history?
@Con.Troller418 they were nomads even as Europeans settled the continent, they had no idea what land ownership was. They were thousands if not tens of thousands of years behind Arabs, Asians and Europeans technologically and civically
@Daniel Doucet Europeans were bloodletting and learnt about natural medicines from Indigenous peoples. Wendat and others we’re semi-permanent agriculturists who only moved in order to maintain soil, a skill many Europeans did not know. Dietary understandings Europeans didn’t know, etc. Progress is subjective
YOU ARE CURRENTLY FUNDING IMMIGRANTS ON WELFARE TO A TUNE OF 45 BILLION ANUALLY. ANY MONEY GOING TO FN COMES FROM THE SALE OF RESOURCES. HOW IGNORANT CAN YOU GET..
Is this the same person that said they would bring Canada to it’s economic knees?
Yes.
Then cry more
It is amazing what the Liberals will do that means absolutely nothing.
Pale(o-ind)ian ,
Pale ODIN INDIAN
GRC
BEOTHUK spoke
(ALGON) KIAN language
(ANGLO)
Yes, that’s why you can’t be trusted. Most of the money you receive goes to the chiefs, not the rest of the reserve.
Only one nation. Canada.
Leave our churches alone savages
Says the ones who murder and abuse children, take away culture and language, abuse women and two-spirited. Go back to Texas and freeze.
ThumbsUp!!
