Native american kid just trying to make it in this fucked up world.
This poll is hilarious for several reasons. First, it's from Rebel News, which disqualifies it entirely. Second, if you look at the full results, the majority OPPOSE separation! Even in their own poll! We're not dealing with serious people. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

What are your thoughts on Carter Hart so far?
Looks like some of the Alberta contingent had a nice little trip to hang out with their fellow Nazis recently…

🇨🇦Peace and Prosperity🇨🇦 I grew up in a rural area and went to school where kids were bussed in. Some were white farm kids, some were native kids from the reservation. They were my friends. Some were my enemies. I played with them. I went to the reserve and rode horses with them. My father was in business with a native family. My most beloved aunt is a full Cree Indian. They've always been in my life. I've seen the worst of them and I've seen the best of them. I've always been on their side. There are writings of mine all over social media in support of them. Their culture even inspired a large portion of my artwork. But my support for them is dwindling. Their supposed self-governance looks more like a grievance industry. It's become an extortion racket. I'm tired of the acting. I'm tired of the chiefs. I'm tired of them showing up to events in feathered bonnets and demanding respect because of it. I'm tired of eagle feathers representing wisdom. I'm tired of them referring to their truth-tellers while they support lies. I'm tired of them standing in the way of prosperity. I'm tired of them being the protectors of nature as long as somebody slips a couple bucks into their bank account. I'm tired of their connections to non-Canadian outside forces. I'm tired of their constant demands. I'm tired of having to refer to such an insignificant number of the population to get anything built or done. They demand so much and they could have so much if they would just wean themselves off the government teat who uses them politically. They could create a meaningful path forward for themselves. They could have it all. They could be wealthy and save their own culture simultaneously if they chose to. Their wealth could equal health. They could heal themselves. They could create an education system built around them. Because the fact is, most Native kids just don't fit in in white schools. They don't want to learn our culture. They could keep their arts and crafts, culture, and language alive in their own education system. They could make an industry of it. They always seem to cling to that which holds them back, whether inadvertently or on purpose. They're constantly being used and their people deserve more. There is wisdom within their society, but they seem to seldomly refer to it. They don't just stand in their own way. They stand in everybody's way, and it saddens me because we could all have so much. If Alberta separates, a new, mutually beneficial deal with the natives would be high on my list of priorities. I realise there are some reservation success stories... There's just not enough of them. I'm not talking about breaking treaties. I'm just saying we could all win, because really, what have they got to lose? #AlbertaIndependence 🤠
