Oh Canada: Our Virtue Signalling Stands For Thee

One funny thing I've recently noticed in Canada is that at the start of every hip artistic performance or similar activity they somberly intone "We recognize we are on stolen land or land belonging to blah blah blah".  

There's literally written extensive guidelines on how to do this now.  They can even get in trouble for doing it wrong, as Gay Pride Toronto found out to its dismay.

First time I heard it I burst out laughing.

It's virtue signaling and preening of the highest order and nothing more of course.  It's an easy way for some good group think and disdain towards Western Civilization without having to really do anything about it and shows you're part of the hip and the woke.

I guarantee none of those making the invocation or taking it seriously have surrendered the deed to their house, or moved out of their apartments.  After all, if you are acknowledging you obtained your property by theft or from a thief as you so piously intone, then you don't have good title so why are you still living there?

So then the question arises as to who to give it to since you're staitng you're on land not belonging to you:

Certainly not the Iroquois or Ojibway, they're johnny-come-latelys  to the scene and the land.  No, we need to go further back.  After all many of the tribes that were there before them were pushed farther south (or wiped them out) by the Iroquois and those tribes pushed others farther south (or wiped them out)  before them. They similarly pushed others farther south (or wiped them out) as well so they don't count either.

So we better go back farther in time.

So going all the way back we end up with:

Yep, this Zuul crurivastator a recently discovered species of ankylosaurankloysaurus rocked and ruled Ontario, Canada over 75 million years ago. Until, of course the land was stolen.

As such,  following the lefties' line of thought and the arc of justice to its ultimate absurd conclusion, the land justly belongs to its descendants:


So yes, Canada really is for the birds.

Did my DNA ancestry and I'm 3% Neanderthal and also from the original 7 women. So in actuality all of Africa and the World belongs to me! So I'm think as to how they may refer to me - Queen of all, Mistress of Africa, Princess of Peace, Hope and Prosperity. So those johnny come lately that came from my ancestors should intone that this land was stolen from the Queen of All. I'll be happy then and won't rain down fire on them. (Really how kind of me, that why I am Queen of ALL)
