Danielle needs to be taken care of. She's a terrorist leader, without a terrorist cell. YET.

[–] Archangel1313@lemm.ee 134 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This is the way. I just love the "fuck you, Danielle!" energy.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 68 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope other first nations and communities send her more letters like this. If you want to be american so badly just move there and leave the rest of us out of it.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 43 points 2 days ago (5 children)

That's something I can't understand. Most of my family back in Alberta would vote to join US and have been saying it for years. Why don't they just move there? It's not hard

I think it's all a boo hoo victim mentality to avoid personal accountability. Those people's lives suck because they are dumb, not because of Ottawa, lol

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 5 points 1 day ago

It's way easier to live in Canada and get mad about anything you perceive as better in the US while reaping all the benefits of being Canadian. Blue state Republicans do the same.

This is the nucleus of the conservative mindset. This right here. This is the DNA, the required personality trait, the price of admission to the conservative club.

You just described most problems in western society. Sincerely your southern neighbor.

FYI the greater-than symbol (>) will give you that quote look you want

1000% correct, they would rather whine about Ottawa fucking them in some way then actually doing work to change their material outcomes. It comes from intellectual laziness if you ask me.

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Right? I was so happy to see these letter. She needs to go!

[–] pixxelkick@lemmy.world 100 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Holy shit this is the first peice of news out of alberta I've been happy to see in a hot minute.

Absolutely based

I have a house in Alberta. I wonder if there's a way to cede my property back to the Treaty nations when I die... They deserve it more than my relatives do.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 days ago

You may want to contact the First Nations band office closest to you (or another band office of your choosing) and speak to them about it.

First Nations, Inuit and Metis people will save the rest of us from idjits like Smith and Drug Fraud.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

We have a huge amount to learn from the First Nations and the French about sovereignty. It will also be quite interesting to see how the 51st state bullshit goes over with them.

Can't rely on other people to do the work.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago

It's a hell of a way of repaying us for all the nasty shit we did.

[–] HRP58@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 days ago

Smith speaks for a minority only and the press loves it and feeds it. The silent majority are 100% Canada.

Oh what is Danielle Smith up to now? Fuck.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Successfully riling up a separation movement

I left Alberta 8 years ago because I was unhappy. Why can't these stupid motherfuckers do it too?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Where to? I wish I could afford BC...

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I moved to Victoria but it was really difficult yeah

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Hey! Me too!

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do you have an article with background to share? :)

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

What info would you like, ie: on the treaties, or the SCoC rulings, etc?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dope! I wonder if there's actual legal force here.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago

There is. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled multiple times on Indigenous land rights and, for the most part, have ruled in favour of the treaties with First Nations communities and people.

Smith doesn't have a leg to stand on here.
