@JF_Martin007@titocurtis@PhilippeNmh@SavannahMTL Your comment reminds me of francos who blame everything & everyone anglo for any mistreatment, perceived or not, by elites or clergy of bygone years.
“The fact is that in Quebec, for Quebecers who are ‘de souche,’ ‘purlaine,’ these conversations are difficult," said @PhilippeNmh. "It’s a whole other process to imagine yourself doing what you think others have done to you.” Great work by @SavannahMTLtherover.ca/can-we-talk-ab…
@JF_Martin007@PhilippeNmh@SavannahMTL Let's be real. Every European descendant in North America benefited from colonialism. And though it may seem that way to us, there isn't a Class A and Class B colonizer status. It's all stolen land. I don't think that's a particularly egregious statement.
@Voyageurfred@titocurtis@PhilippeNmh@SavannahMTL Respalectfully, the Mohawk people have no better claim to the land than "colonial" French. They only began settling near Montreal in the 1660's having moved north from the Hudson Valley in the process displacing the Wyandot people. That land has been disputed ever since.
@georgiavrakas@titocurtis@PhilippeNmh@SavannahMTL I think the piece lacks depth. The entire piece is written under the supposition that what we would call the Québec people are colonials in the same way we position Colonialism in it's modern negative connotation. The writer only takes a couple talking heads takes on the matter.
