Everybody is to blame—except the natives

Written by Joel Johannesen on Thursday May 31 2007 at 11:49 AM

The report claims that we can’t blame anyone… except all the folks who aren’t native.  The federal government… is to blame.  The province, particularly the—and let us spell this for you because it can’t be stressed enough—C-O-N-S-E-R-V-A-T-I-V-E provincial government of M-I-K-E—H-A-R-R-I-S… is to blame.  The police… are to blame.  But that’s it.  Let’s self-loathe. 

No word on what might have happened at Ipperwash in 1995 if the natives didn’t set up blockades, occupy a provincial park, firebomb buildings, assault people, drive a native school bus into the Canadian military’s drill hall, then take possession of the base after defence staff fled, then later drive a speeding bus toward police, followed by a speeding car which actually rams right over four police officers, and generally stage militant mayhem in the community, before shots rang out by police.

Feds, province, police blamed in Ipperwash report

The final report of the Ipperwash Inquiry has found that the federal and Ontario governments, along with police, all share responsibility for the death of native protester Dudley George.

“It is impossible to attribute Mr. George’s death to a single person, factor, decision or institution,’’ Commissioner Sydney Linden concluded in his four-volume report.

“The federal government, the provincial government, and the OPP must all assume some responsibility for decisions or failures that increased the risk of violence and make a tragic confrontation more likely.’’

Also no word on what might have happened if after decades in power, successive liberal (L-I-B-E-R-A-L) governments had fixed the problems instead of exacerbating it with their inane policies on native affairs.
