"Prime Minister Carney must halt the legislated extinction of First Nations
Liberals have the power to pass Bill S-2 as amended by the Senate before the House rises for the summer, but will they?
In 1920, Duncan Campbell Scott, the deputy superintendent general of the Department of Indian Affairs, testified before the House of Commons that the government’s intention was to 'get rid of the Indian problem' and to 'continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada.' That was more than a century ago, so one could be forgiven for believing that times have changed, especially with the current Liberal government’s stated commitment to reconciliation. Yet Ottawa is refusing to accept the Senate’s amendments to Bill S-2, which would eliminate the Indian Act’s second-generation cut-off provisions. These provisions place many First Nations on a path toward legislated extinction by preventing status from being passed to future generations indefinitely."
Prime Minister Mark Carney has the power to stop the clock. In a world where respect for the rule of law is increasingly under strain, this is an opportunity to demonstrate that Canada’s commitment to equality, constitutional rights, and reconciliation is more than rhetoric. We urge him to pass Bill S-2 with the Senate’s amendments.
Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day and also the Summer Solstice — the longest day of the year and one that has a lot of cultural and spiritual meaning for many First Nations and Indigenous groups and communities of Turtle Island.
Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!

Monoculturalism and Project Invisibility
Silencing dissenting Indigenous voices
"Project Invisibility is a sustained campaign to remove First Nations leaders from public boards and other senior government roles."
"We're going back to the [master] days, like you have your head bowed, you're too afraid to put your head up and speak your mind because you might be out the door."
"It means you'll have the same old Eurocentric version of the world in your policies, everything you're doing within government will be white, anglicised."
"They are eradicating, invisibilising us, and destroying our history and culture." >>
