Our devotion to First Nations is reminiscent of Wild Bill’s Wild West Show

First Nations host Vancouver Olympics opening showDuring the westward expansion of the United States, Native Americans were systematically abused through genocide and land appropriation.

Concurrent with the “Indian Wars”, one of the more popular entertainments was Wild Bill’s Wild West Show which featured lots of “Indians” in native costumes dancing and whooping it up for the crowds.

As the Vancouver Olympics opened with big native of First Nations fanfare, the hypocrisy of Canada’s apartheid was running around in my head.

Human rights abuse at Vancouver Olympics on unprecedented level

2,500 homeless people rounded up and incarcerated for not being scenic – remind anyone of Fascism in the name of sports ?

Vancouver Olympics round up the homeless and lock them up photo - KK+The business of the Vancouver Olympics – marketing, patriotism and religion – all in the name of amateur sport is getting a bad name around the world.

First the BC government suspended free speech. Vancouver Olympics more important than Charter

Then a security presence second to a major armed invasion force is rolled out. Canada looking more like German 1936 Olympics Lucky for the citizens of Vancouver some of the police are late or no shows for their duties.

Now the Guardian UK is reporting BC is suspending the human rights of 2,500 homeless people to their personal freedom. Is Canada a police state where the government can tell its citizens where to go? Even homeless people have Charter Rights. The solution for homelessness is not prison unless we want to revert to a pre-Human Rights era.

The Fifth Estate exposes inhumane treatment of Ashley Smith in documentary Out Of Control

Ashley Smith driven to suicide by the system

Ashley Smith driven to suicide by the system

Ashely Smith had everything going against her. She was a native female with a mental disability. The Canadian penal system drove her to suicide.

The CBC Fifth Estate program is hard to watch. It’s an emotional body blow to see a teenager driven to suicide by the Canadian government’s mistreatment.

Starting with teenage rebellion, Ashley was imprisoned for throwing a crab apple at a postal worker.

For that she was put in jail for 3 years of hell. She was put in isolation, tasered repeatedly, put in a cage that makes Hannibal Lecter’s treatment in Silence of the Lambs look tame.

Stephen Harper getting human rights award from Can Jewish Congress

Stephen Harper getting human rights award from Can Jewish Congress

Stephen Harper has been making loud noises about Chinese human rights only he now does it in the basement at 24 Sussex Drive

As a member of an enumerated group under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, my advice to Mr. Harper is fix your own problems before you tell a neighbor how to cut his grass.

Minorities in Canada have an uphill battle and those living with disabilities are among the those with the least human rights. Sorry if you are offended but if someone told you to go home and not enter a restaurant you’d be screaming bloody hell. If you were turned down for a job because of your skin color or hair color, you’d be outraged.

Mayor Clifford Lee in the starring role as Transformer Fire Station Man – stop them at Sherwood Road

We are excited to bring news about the new blockbuster movie that got its blue carpet premiere yesterday in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Transformers 4 – Stop the Mi’kmaq. Coming soon to a movie theatre near you!

Gasp as the super hero Mayor circles the wagons to fend off an attack by marauding Indians. Fort Charlottetown is threatened by land developing Mi’kmaqs waving a federal treaty which they claim gives them first rights to get back land that was stolen from them in the first place. Strong men weep, women scream, children shiver in terror.

Mayor Lee – during the day a timid Tory hack currently holding down an ACOA sinecure – becomes superhero Transformer 4 when he waves his magic gavel – a mighty fire truck capable of quelling multiple Tweel attacks and simultaneously able to spare the blushes of dozens of old ladies by smothering the smutty stories of John Joe Sark. And able to stifle press conference invitations with the stroke of a pen.  Continue reading →

By Stephen Pate, NJN Network, Charlottetown, PEI, Canada, April 28, 2009

Instead of adopting ABM “anyone-but-Mi’kmaq”, Charlottetown’s Friends of the Farm should adopt a more conciliatory approach and work with the Mi’kmaq Confederacy to develop a plan for the Agriculture Farm that preserves the best green spaces while allow development. Continue reading →

CBC and Guardian report racism but won’t use the word

Both refuse comments and link back to racism story, a big cover up

By Stephen Pate, NJN Network, Charlottetown, PEI, Canada April 16, 2009

CBC and the Guardian can report racism against the Mi’kMaq while calling it innocuous things like “fund raising” and “Money committee formed to help keep Home Farm free of development”. If you form a committee in your neighborhood to keep out blacks, Chinese, gays, or the disabled it would be called bigotry and racism. Unless you want to keep out the Mi’kMaq. Continue reading →

Lebanese immigrant’s grandson leads charge against the natives

Whew! Now will have some real intelligence and common sense from the “Love Canal” city councilor

Mitch Tweel, civic politician and argument against evolution "I like toxic wastes in a children's playground"

Mitch Tweel, civic politician "I like toxic wastes in a children's playground but no natives"

We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief. One of our most intelligent and insightful civic leaders is going to stir up the mud on the Agricultural Farm with a public hearing. You know I like a civic politician who can say “no” to toxic land reports and build a school playground on right on top of arsenic and old lead. You’ve got to admire that kind of stupidity and patronage. Liberal Minister Ronnie McKinley willing to poison children for profit

Next thing you know, old Mitch will be arming the locals, taking to the barricades along Belvedere Avenue or maybe leading a posse out to Scotchford. No siree Bob, none of them natives  gonna settle in our city. We got toxic land, high taxes. The last immigrants, and the only immigrants Charlottetown needs, were the Lebanese, even if some of the grandchildren have an IQ below 80. Don’t sweat it: every city has one or two neanderthals in city hall.

I have a question. Is “The Staff” at the Guardian a pen-name for “this is a truly bad story no one wants to admit they wrote” ? They used the same writer for the lie about how unemployment improved last month.
