I have always acknowledged discrimination against Indigenous people in Canada exists; and what has happened throughout history and what continues to happen today is shameful and abhorrent.
Maybe calling it a racist statement is not the correct terminology, but it certainly ignores that there were black and white slaves brought to North America, and by calling descendants of those people colonizers is insensitive at best.
To express that any specific group of people have some kind of hereditary nobility is not at all helpful if we want to live in a society where character matters most. So, yes there is still much to do about creating an equal starting point for everyone, but calling anyone specific terms based on their 23andMe results is pushing a very dangerous ideology.

You make false strawman accusations, which didn't really fit with the discussion, then accuse us of denying with your accustions.
I have learned, from you,the difference between a 'mod' (which I may have used as a pronoun for you in the past) and an Administrator.
I saw a lot of entries containing peoples actual experience vs. the rhetoric of politics myself. I wasn't aware that anyone was violating TOA nor inciting anything hateful, I got to know a few 'adversaries' as respectful Canadians with passion, and a few American citizens as well. My TRUTH.

And why is that? Do you feel I paint everyone with the same brush also? I do not feel one way or the other towards you, know you less than most others here. Do you really think all the Canadian posters here think the same way?
You’re confusing discussion with admin
no one said anything about violating tos
That’s quite the assumption I never said all Canadian posters in the first place you just took it there

Nah, some people took sea and uninhabited swamp and turned it into dry land.
Sounds like the more idealistic more naive younger me I once was. Almost, I used to say decades.

A CELEBRATION OF MÉTIS WOMEN, LANGUAGE & CULTURE
The first full-scale Indigenous-led opera presented on a Canadian opera mainstage
This cross-cultural collaboration is a celebration of Métis women, language, and culture, conceptualized by Métis poet and librettist Dr. Suzanne M. Steele and co-composed by Alex Kusturok and Neil Weisensel.
A full-scale production, this epic music and song experience features 11 vocal soloists, an adult chorus, a children’s chorus, fiddlers, dancers, and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
In this historical, mystic opera, 21st century Joséphine-Marie, through a grandmother’s story, is transported to 1870s Montana where she encounters an ancestor, the sharpshooter Josette, a runaway travelling with Riel and the last buffalo brigades. Josette falls in love with the young, passionate, Louis Riel, in disguise, on the run from assassins.
The pair confront jealousy, destiny, deprivation, and torment wrought by four shape-shifting Black Geese of Fate, but are comforted by ghost choruses of ancestors, the bison brigades, and the women of their peoples, as they try to salvage a nation and save themselves from total destruction in the burning heart of the continent of the 1870s.
At its heart, this opera seeks to celebrate Métis languages and ways of being. Sung in Southern Michif, French-Michif, Anishinaabemowin, French, and English, the opera’s text was developed with Indigenous language keepers who continue to be involved with the project. Li Keur brings these languages, which have survived decades of attempted erasure, back to the centre stage at the heart of this continent.

Maybe they will be at the Festival du Voyageur in February. Ten days of frocking in the snow (hopefully since we barely have any and only a month and a half to go, still getting temperatures just below freezing in the daytime, El Niño messing up our winter fun), good music, activities for the kiddies.

Canada will soon announce an all-EV sales requirement for 2035: reports
Canada is expected to announce new regulations this week that will require all vehicles sold in the country to be zero-emissions by 2035, according to news reports.
The new regulations, which will reportedly be called the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, are intended to help guarantee automakers will produce enough zero-emissions vehicles for the expected demand, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported, citing a senior government source not authorized to speak publicly.
The source told the CBC that Canada has concerns over other countries, including the U.S., having a commanding influence on the supply of zero-emission vehicles. The announcement is expected to take place Tuesday, the reports said.
The Toronto Star, also citing a senior government official, reported the regulations seek to both reduce wait times for electric vehicles (EVs) and ensure the supply is “going toward Canadian markets.”
“By doing this nationally, we will make sure supply is available and that consumers in all provinces are going to get quicker access to to the vehicles,” the official said.
The Toronto Star reported the regulations will require zero-emissions vehicles to make up 20 percent of all new car transactions by 2026, 60 percent by 2030 and 100 percent in 2035.
The regulations will be applied to automakers, who will earn credits based on the number of EVs they sell, the CBC reported. Different cars will equal a different number of credits based on how close they are to the zero-emissions standard, the Canadian broadcaster added.
Automakers can also earn credits if they help produce infrastructure for charging EVs and can receive early credits by rolling out EVs before the regulations begin in 2026. Companies that hit over or fall short of their targets can then sell or purchase credits from other companies, the reports said.
The Hill reached out to Environment and Climate Change Canada for a comment.
The Biden administration in April projected two-thirds, or about 67 percent, of new light-duty passenger cars sold in the U.S. could be electric by 2032 under its new proposed clean car regulations. Last week, the House voted in favor of blocking the Biden administration’s proposed regulations that would’ve helped move the U.S. toward this 2032 benchmark.
New York and California are among several states in the U.S. to issue similar mandates.

Manitoba government making homelessness a priority
The province says it's making homelessness a priority. On Friday, Housing Minister Bernadette Smith announced a $5.7M plan to help get unhoused people into housing. In the first phase there will be 250 rental units made available for people in Winnipeg, Brandon, Swan River and Portage La Prairie.

It looks to be a pretty clever plan, allowing auto manufacturers to get credits to build out the infrastructure. I'm assuming that allows them to sell more ICE vehicles while laying the foundation for a rapid transition in the not too distant future. We should also get more really reasonably priced small EV's so they can sell quite a few, quickly. I wonder if the Honda Motocompacto is just the beginning of large scale production by other auto manufacturers.

Why don't we skip all the non-practical nonsense and find something we can make combustion without toxic pollution, for EVERY combustion engine run on the same fuel? Are 'WE' really serious about the 'effects' of 'climate change' caused by said human activity?
It already exists and is either the first or second most plentiful element in the universe....Hydrogen.
When you say electrolysis, people think 'SPA DAY' LOL.

Hydrogen has serious drawbacks. Its energy density is badly hit by its low physical density.
Liquid hydrogen has a very low boiling point and a very low density as a liquid. Its heat of boiling is also low, meaning that it boils off significant mass even in a well-insulated tank.
Pressurized to ten thousand psi, as used in the current few hydrogen-driven cars, it still is at 0.0398 g/cc (gasoline is typically 0.8 g/cc.)
The infrastructure needed to dispense that superpressurized gas ain’t cheap, and building (literal) gas tanks that will withstand impact is not only expensive, it’s not a mature technology.
Metal hydride storage is less energy-dense than a good battery, and it uses massive amounts of the same scarce strategic metals the batteries use.
From the wiki on hydrogen aircraft:
Considerable added electrical generationwould be needed as the jet fuel energy consumed in 2019 represented 14% of the world’s electricity; and generating the power needed, producing, liquefying and distributing the hydrogen would cost several trillion dollars.[3]MIT's Alan H. Epstein considers investments would be better spent on sustainable aviation fuel than on hydrogen aircraft.[3]
On the bright side, hydrogen vehicles are likely to salvage Hollywood films in which car collisions produce improbably spectacular explosions. It’s one of the rare fuels whose unconfined fuel-air mixtures detonate.
I used to like the idea of hydrogen as a storable power source. However its irreducible downsides mean it’ll never be cheap safe power.

Also you need energy to convert water into hydrogen, would not do to use fossil fuels. The big problem is we will not be able to convert to renewables unless a war effort like effort happens all over the world, no getting there in ten years.
