This meme is made by a leftist, and that community does have an issue with the same "if you don't explicitly agree with everything we say, you are other and therefore evil" attitude that the MAGA crowd has.
Thank God a brave centrist was willing to come here to criticize the left and defend the right to protect us from evil socialist extremism.
Please, oh holy enlightened central one, tell us the errors of our thinking. Is it our sins of universal healthcare, anti-genocide, and equal rights for all?
Please, oh please, do sermon us on the benefits of the right like unregulated capitalism, environmental destruction, and thought policing
Some one did not read the Canadian Constitution or the bill of rights.
Tell us, oh, wise one, about the 'equal rights' in Gladue?
Where did they say it's what we have, because to me it reads that those are what we're fighting for.
This includes indigenous peoples.
indigenous peoples in Canada already have more rights than actual Canadians.
What the hell are you on about?
How about the right to clean water?
You can have clean water when you stop tearing apart the water treatment plants for the resale value of the previous water treatment plant.
or , here's an idea, enter the 21st centruy and collect taxes to pay for it yourself, like the rest of the country's municipalities?
Or, maybe the chiefs can forgo new trucks every year and actually build infrastructure for their people?
It's hard to keep the sympathy when all I can see on the res is complete corruption.
if the tribes are "their own nation" then maybe start collecting taxes like every other nation on earth?
What gives them the authority to collect taxes in Canada? Only government's can do that.
Tribes are not nation-states like Canada is.
Interesting take, but in law Indigenous groups are effectively sovereign nations within Canada. They also have the authority to collect taxes within tribal lands.
"Tribes" are nations, governments and have full authority to collect taxes.
Anything's possible when you make shit up kiddo
