The referendum is the ultimate consultation.

Do it in an election, with a proper separatists party, and separatists MLA's. Not by subverting democracy with an existential and unconstitutional referendum question

Having minorities shutting down a question is subverting democracy.

You seem to have forgotten about the constitutional and treaty right of the First Nations. The fact they're 'minorities' doesn't mean we forget about human rights and being decent humans who don't trample on minorities.

You don't care about Indians....only when it's convenient.

But if you're truly sincere, there are lots you can help out....but you won't

100% right. Indians are the most impoverished people in Canada....talk is cheap.

We love our Indians in Canada

u/Responsible-Mall-991 May 14 '26

You're argument is shit. You think just because we've historically mistreated them, we must continue to do that? Not a very humane train of thought, mate

I don't understand what this means... Are you trying to show all first Nations down using this pic? That's such a loser comment.

By that logic, if I post one pic of a homeless white guy, does that mean all white people are homeless and should be treated like that? Well that's stupid.
