Growing indigenous nationalism is a threat to Canada’s survival

The following opinion piece published on October 4, 2022 in a leading Canadian news and opinion site was co-authored by yours truly and Rodney Clifton .

It concerns the important issue of indigenous nationalism, especially its politicization by aboriginal elites to the detriment not only of the downtrodden masses they claim to represent but to the very notion of Canadian identity.

In contrast to elite indigenous activists and their supporters, we argue that with the gap between rich and powerful aboriginals vs. poor and dependent ones growing by leaps and bounds, with the gratuitous but lucrative demonization of the residential school system in overdrive since the announcement of the fake Kamloops burials, and with no rational discussion of why failed indigenous policies are reinvented time and again, there is little hope that a proud and confident indigenous people will ever be recognized, and recognize themselves, as full and equal citizens of Canada instead of seeing themselves, and being seen by others, as a race apart and as Canada’s eternal victims.
