My opinion is why does this always have to be a "thing" ?
Why can't you just be happy with being honored as a vet like all of the rest? I'm sure there are hundreds of different backgrounds that served for the Canadian forces but in the end they look up at the maple leaf and feel the pride and honor that came in serving THEIR country. This kind of goes back to all the other threads about integrating native heritage and peoples into regular "Canadian" culture and their resistance to do so
Also what happened to make this cop show up? The video starts wth a guy telling a cop repeatedly to fuck
Off, fuck off, that's a very intellectual way at expressing your opinion/situation to law enforcement, it always goes over very well Posted via RS Mobile

Remembrance Day is bigger than the dude telling the officer to fuck off.
Dude with camera is being an idiot, too.
Ironic how people who scarificed their lives for this country did so in order for that ingrate to mouth off and exercise his right to be an azzhole. <------ did that make sense?
inb4 someone uses the word, bully.

Its no wonder the Native people have so much hate and anger towards the government and law officials. they get fucked by them constantly.
Shut the fuck up. Out of all people in Canada the Aboriginals have it the easiest, there are a shit ton of programs, incentives and breaks that your average, white, black, immigrant etc, Canadian would only dream of. It makes me sick when I see them whining for more fucking handouts. Why is a native entitled to free things because they were born native, while people, not even born in this country in some cases, fight and die for Canada get comparatively nothing? I have zero time, patience and sympathy for the lazy Aboriginal who would rather protest and complain than use all those breaks, paid by the taxes of Canadians, to build themselves a modest life. They really are starting to wear out their welcome and try people's patience.
I love Canada for the simple reason that even when the First Nation dude was protesting and telling the cop to F*CK OFF he still said sorry when he accidentally hit him in the face with his little flag...

There's no point getting upset at it. It is what it is.
My question to you and others is, do you want to switch places and be in their shoes?
I know a few people who are status and their children are entitled to be in first nations programmes at their schools. Surprisingly, they don't want their school to even know they are first nations. Kind of baffles me, but they tell me, they don't want their kids to be part of the "scene". Something about the attitude of the other kids in that setting, rubbing off on their children.
Not sure what to think of it........... In a way, I can understand where they are coming from, but at the same time, it's kind of sad.
When my father was alive, he was a commercial fisherman. There was this one first nations dude who fished along side my father and his group. Dude could have fished with the first nations group at any time, but decided not to. The fish openings were different between the groups and the first nations fishery always had more openings than everybody else. Kind of baffled me at first, but I saw how different he was. He did not want to belong with the other first nations fishermen. Of course, I was very young at the time and didn't really understand it all until later.
The dude was like clean cut, soft spoken, and had the most amazingly clean and tidy boat. He kept it immaculate. He was always proud of his boat. Not that the other fishermen weren't. He just took it to a whole new level. And, a hard worker he was. Impressed me, for sure. I learned early in life that not all first nations people are lazy. I grew up with and worked along side many first nations people. It's not easy for them. A lot of them are caught in a rut and many have a huge chip on their shoulders. Many just plain give up and continue to be angry at the world.
