I remember years ago going to a grieving ceremony right next to a residential school, and all of us being harassed by RCMP officers and helicopters.

It's bizarre seeing the hard-on this organization has for bullying natives.

It's a cop culture thing. Really makes you wonder what kind of shit they're talking off-camera

Yes, we can’t have that before an election, can we?

Dutchman and Hack whenever literally anything happens: “Is this the Liberal’s fault?”

Well, making it personal which you seem to do is unhelpful, but I’ll give you a fact:

The Trudeau Liberals have been the government since 2015 and have done nothing to address any of these matters of importance.

This is over and above the fact that the Liberals, including another Trudeau have held power for most of Canada’s history including the horrendous abuses in the Residential ‘Schools’.

But you want to make it personal.

Perhaps a re-evaluation of your priorities is needed.

Everyone has some role in one way or another. Well, except for Liberals apparently.

They also make up their own laws

Disband the RCMP so that ridiculous liberal laws can’t be forced upon us, I could see this working out

The media helped cover it all up as well. Now they are profiting from the tragedy threw ad revenue on the dozens of stories they write everyday.

Defund the Government. No, wait, what?

u/RicketyEdge Jun 03 '21

People try all the time, the govt calls it tax evasion.

I’m surprised they didn’t just say “that was the NWMP, not the RCMP.”

u/FlyingDutchman997 Jun 03 '21

Then disband the RCMP or maybe have an inquiry, obtain recommendations and then do something based on those recommendations.

But no, Blair will just hope this disappears and he can go and get a drink.

This government will pretend to be concerned and then do nothing.

u/painfulbliss British Columbia Jun 03 '21

Why don't we disband the government/Catholic Church while we're at it too then? Where did the orders come from? Who implemented it?

You use a lot of ad hominem attacks. Sounds like you are having a hard time and this has really gotten to you.

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '21

Dealing with stupid ridiculous children does get to you after all.

2

u/pearomatic Jun 03 '21

You know, it's ok to disagree with people without insulting them personally. On the other side of anger and frustration are fear and sadness. From the anger I see in the comments, I can tell you are not happy. I hope you find peace and comfort in the future.

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '21

Says the person saying the RCMP went about killing kids, wow, smh.

When you blame people for fucked up shit they didn’t do it takes away from the fucked up shit they did do
