And I also.

   

Here's a better proposal. The natives, given the swathes of land they control, should be given the opportunity to control the immigration in them.

Look at it this way, Europeans set the immigration policy for 300 years and allowed only other Europeans in. Perhaps the natives should now demand they be able to say who comes to their lands.

They could help groups immigrate that could further their cause.

Renaming parks...that won't change the dynamics of native situation.

   

Come on Sock, are you just posting to get a response?

First Nations to control immigration?

They lost that battle about 400 years ago. Time for them to move on, otherwise I'm gonna sue Italy for the damages inflicted on my people during the Roman invasion.

   

Control immigration in Native Lands. We know reserves are ecomomic pits, perhaps if they could get a few extra million people in them, they could become self sustaining cities.

They should certainly have a say on the matter of immigration. AAs in the USA managed to get the country to end white only immigration. Natives can perhaps try and get a few native friendly immigrant policies.

Heh, just tossing out a suggestion, certainly a better battle than a Stanley Park name change. That's pointless.

I won't veer the thread off, so that's my rant of the day.

   

Can't happen because our Charter won't let it. Canada does not have the luxury of saying where immigrants go, so this is a non-starter.

   

Plus no sane immigrant is going to want to live on an indian reservation. They would just attract welfare suckers like themselves, increasing their demands for mo money. What exactly are these immigrants supposed to do for work in the middle of nowhere. And, as we've seen with the Mohawk, they are busy expelling people who are not indian enough for them. Very bad idea.

How about we just integrate indians into Canada? Same rights and responsibilities as the rest of us?

   

They don't really know what is going on tho...

   

So bullshit them so they'll come, and then what, keep them there with guns?

   

Of course! They paid quite some dough for their visas, so they would want to stay, no matter what! They're too stupid to go back to school and do their whole education again anyway, so I'm sure they are stupid enough to accept living where ever they are put.

[/sarcasm]

   

The idea to rename the park is absurd.
It's one thing to rename things like Haida Gwaii and Iqaluit, because people live there and they ultimately have the right to name their town Assholeville if they want.
No one 'lives' in Stanley Park (the homeless vagrants don't count) and it's been a park for 122 years. Put up a plaque about Xwayxway and STFU.
It's like the BS about the Salish Sea. In the rush for PC appeasement, they don't even care that it isn't a goddam sea, it's a strait. It's like renaming a hole a "Gluxfrtg Mountain" because Joe Bob had a trapline there in 1890 before the meteor hit.

   

Ok. Nobody liked my renaming Canada UOS idea, so how about we rename it asklgrpot3t9owerpgn;wergeroigneroghnerp? (Land of the Noble Natives living in complete harmony with the environment and only held back because the evil white man won't give us enough money.)

   

How about South Africa...errr I mean Northern America.

   

Sounds like a lot of Politically Correct Bull Shit.

   

I wouldn't be so sure.

Nobody said anything about skilled immigrants here. Natives I've spoken to all have an affection for their central American brethren. They would opt to let a couple million Guatemalans, El Salvadorians and Guyanese natives in.

Heh, look at it this way, the Brits let a couple millions Germans and Irish here, what's a few million Salvadorians?

   

Right on, let's get rid of those Bantustans reserves, all enjoy same rights and responsibilities.
