"Elijah Harper, Oji-Cree politician, consultant, policy analyst (born 3 March 1949 at Red Sucker Lake, MB; died 17 May 2013 in Ottawa, ON). Harper is best known for the role he played in scuttling the Meech Lake Accord, for which he was named the Canadian Press newsmaker of the year for 1990. The first Aboriginal member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, Harper also served as the Minister for Northern Affairs. From 1993 to 1997 he represented the riding of Churchill in the federal parliament."
I had just witnessed the Presidency of the U.S. handed over to a black man, and the first thing that came to mind was a native prime minister! This made me happy deep down, but I still had a ways to go to understand politics, and what's more, the reality of a broken Canada, displaced by the abortion of it's rightful people by an immigrant demographic. How is this possible? Well nothing sounds good when injustice takes the steering wheel and wisdom is put in the back seat. Even still, all that has happened, angering as it is, (and I will speak for myself) must as soon as possible learn the truth, decide whos side we're on, and do something about it. And so I step out of the box, and to cut right to the chase, 2 points to boldly understand, 1: I am not the people before me, and we are all unique, and as individuals, shedding racism, may act freely based on what we feel is right in our hearts, and if indignancy can keep a level head, and wise spirit, do all you can to make things right! And 2: A supreme injustice has happened, and "sorry" is not going to cut it. Not only that, you don't say sorry, and keep on commit offences. When you truly apologize, you do something about it, and in this case, repentance is not an option. If we have taken, we must give back with interest. There is some things we can't give back though. But maybe we can do something better. I want to see a native prime minister before I die, and knowing a bit how tough that is, I think I've found a route, and there may need to be more than one avenue in a strategized campaign, but I think that if they are going to give land back, they could give over the flag! And all I mean though, is perhaps, the red banners could be symmetrically altered with some native tribal art work. So, I would love to hold on high a new Canadian flag, and I would do it myself, but I believe the artwork should be done by a native. So if there is any enthused artists, Perhaps you can send me your ideas, which I could show off on this site, and perhaps something can be arranged. This is my first blog, thank you for reading.
