Actually the Indians where the original illegals!The first people to people north america came from southern france!The people who call themselves natives now are from asia!The discovery channel did a show on it last year!

Let's see your sources. Natives have been here for more 30,000 years and that's a proven fact. It is true that there were no "land" laws to break at the time, but just because the Indians didn't have land ownership statues, doesn't mean the Europeans can pull the rug beneath them.

Yeah and they fight like a bunch of girls. The strong survive and that’s not them.

What fighting have you done?

Of course you do. I think I heard you making kung-fu noises as you typed your reply, hero.

Keep hiding though... and of course making your big animal noises in the forums.

These people jumped on a boat in 1914 and came here and we said NO they can't come in? How awful! What were we thinking?
We should have warehoused them in a specially built wing in Prince George prison and flown in specialty chefs and catered meals so they wouldn't have to eat the nasty Canadian food, given them hearings, welfare and let them out with miniscule bail so they all jcould ust disappear into thin air like we do now!

Actually you forgot one important factor. Immigration from Europe built this country and made it what it is.

Who built the railoads?

[EyeBrock]

Chinese and Irish labour may have done the grunt work, but it’s revisionist to believe that without these imported labourers the railroads would not have been built, some other hungry immigrant group would have taken their place in a second. Do you think some Chinese guy was sat around in Shanghai saying “Mmm, I think I’ll build a railway in Canada next week.”


The initiative and entrepreneurial innovation of the railroads was down to Canadian and British leadership and investors.

If that is true then we Canadians shouldn't be proud of our country because if we hadn't built it then some other hungry European county would have settled here and built a nation, probably using the same immigrant labourers too.

Credit were credit is due for the labourers who helped build this country.

Alot of our Irish settlers weren't trying to help buiild a nation or even wanted to leave their homeland but they had no other choice to or else face starvation. They became part and parcel to the backbone of Canada.

What about us Ukes?

The Westcastle minimum security prison used to be a detention camp for all Ukranians during the war.These were legal immigrants that came here to work the underground coal mines,wheres my cheque and apology?

Tracker Tracker:

Too bad. Go fuck yourselves. You're not getting any money. I know that's what they want. Always wanting more.

What a bunch of racist parrots!!!
The ONLY person who said they want money is Tracker and you all chime in without a clue.

The Sikhs never asked for a penny. All they wanted was for the apology to be read in Parliament.

I'm not advocating cheques for anybody but apologies aren't out of order.

Other countries may not be apologizing for their mistreatment of others but so what? Just because other people act like jerks doesn't mean I have to right? Same goes for countries. Does Canada want to lead by example or de we want to be mired in a pack of other countries all petulantly refusing to apologize for its misdeeeds because nobody else is.

k,the apology will do,I dont think it has happened yet but I could be wrong,the prison is still in use today,its a bush camp prison for natives now.

[Chumley]

He made the apology but it just isn't good enough for them of course.
If he had made it on the floor of the House of Commons in the first place before they complained about it, they would have found something else wrong with it.

Perhaps we need some sort of national blanket apology.

"sorry for all the bad things we did in the past. Often times we treated others like they treated us instead of rising above it. Our bad."

(An apology that reminds everybody they are just as guilty).

Once thats out of the way then a big speech about how we are going to look to the future now and won't be apologizing for every tiny mistep done by people who died a century ago.
