This Constant Reference to Land Claims and the "Unceded" Lingo Has To Stop...

Andrew Black photography by Indie Media East Coast -- "Take Back Your Power" a film by Josh del Sol that was crowdfunded by me and others was screen premiered at the Global Breakthrough Energy Conference years ago because of my efforts and connections with Jason Verbelli in California... and I'm still largely under-recognized in this region for my efforts ... why is that?  Don't we have bigger more important conversions to have here?  I really think that we do ... I'm not a fan of dumbing down folks.

 Where is this nonsense actually all going to take us to... please ask yourself why it is going on... 



why is all this tribal, racist, and destructive divide and conquer stuff being pushed on us?

Tantramar Mayor Andrew Black needs to stop repeating the mantras of "Stolen lands" or "Unceded Territory" or "Traditional Lands" at the opening of every Town Hall meeting.  Pitting groups of people against other groups of people based solely on their "skin colour" is racist behaviour and must be halted.

More here from Will Kriski on why it matters...

Contact Your Tantramar Councillors - Tantramar Times

Five of the current elected Town Councillors are retired from their workforce years, collecting pensions, as well as very nice paycheques in these new roles, financially comfortable AND so in solid positions to be thoughtful and reflective on this key issue and to truly grasp the wisdom of not continuing to go along with the flow on this topic, use of words, and consider more deeply the implications of this "narrative" and what it will mean for future generations...

Mount Allison University's website says:
"We would like to acknowledge that we are located within the territory of Mi’kma’ki, the unceded, ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq. Our relationship and our privilege to live on this territory was agreed upon in the Peace and Friendship Treaties of 1752. Because of this treaty relationship it is to be acknowledged that we are all Treaty people and have a responsibility to respect this territory."

Meanwhile, the progressive's "Agenda" of...

Mount Allison University is producing brainwashed race-obsessed nitwits and divisive troublemakers and change agents.

Robin Walker's "Indigenous" Narrative Mount Allison University New Brunswick Campus (bitchute.com)


Claims of being here time immemorial cannot be proven; in fact they are dubious and unhelpful.
There is plenty of land for everyone to have a share and not live in scarcity... its ridiculous to think otherwise in a place as large as this nation is.
Overall the large majority of Canadians want to live coexisting peacefully with each other but with INDIVIDUAL land rights, not in kibbutz-type-communal living arrangements and inside shared properties... NATIVES DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE INDIVIDUAL LAND RIGHTS and their way of living is in direct conflict with our's.. our rights are worth preserving and upholding; that's the truth.
More on the big claims here in New Brunswick:


Time to be real in 2023 about what it means to be living together as a collection of peoples on the same big land mass with all the many ethnicities and races.  End race based laws and the divide and conquer crap! Unite, prosper, evolve.
