As the City of Edmonton and the Province of Alberta duel over the cause of (welfare) and solution to (free pizza) homelessness, a curious thing happened during all of the competing funding and action announcements.
Specifically, they kept bringing up the jackpine savages who used to wander around this continent before Europe came along with civilization and actually built societies.
The downtown centre will be located at the Karis Centre on 103rd Avenue and 106th Street.
The City of Edmonton will provide free transportation to it and noted a local organization will be at the site to help homeless Edmontonians care for their pets.
Public Safety and Emergency Services Minister Mike Ellis, Seniors, Community and Social Services Minister Jason Nixon and Justice Minister Mickey Amery made the announcement in the provincial capital Wednesday morning.They were joined by Edmonton police chief Dale McFee, Chief Wilton Littlechild and Grand Chief Cody Thomas of the Confederacy of Treaty 6 First Nations.
Now isn't that curious? What on earth does Thomas and that lying sack of shit Littlechild have to do with homelessness in Edmonton? Edmonton is not part of any of the reservations which make up Treaty 6. Indeed, as we've noted before, Treaty 6 actually tells them they are supposed to remain on their reserves except when hunting or fishing. It's the same section where Her Majesty Queen Victoria agreed to give them the Residential Schools they were so interested in (and remained interested in well into the grunge era), but there's another passage I vaguely recalled that seems to be appropriate:
Her Majesty further agrees with Her said Indians that within the boundary of Indian reserves, until otherwise determined by Her Government of the Dominion of Canada, no intoxicating liquor shall be allowed to be introduced or sold, and all laws now in force, or hereafter to be enacted, to preserve Her Indian subjects inhabiting the reserves or living elsewhere within Her North-west Territories from the evil influence of the use of intoxicating liquors, shall be strictly enforced.
As Dana Carvey would say, "now isn't that special?" Literally every drunken Red Indian causing a problem within the City of Edmonton is to be punished, strictly mind you, by the white man for his evil deeds. In other words, Cody Thomas and Willie Littlechild need to be told that their constituents are going to be held to a far higher standard than whites in accordance with the treaty they keep blathering (falsely) that we haven't been adhering to.
Furthermore, if this line can be decided later to actually include MRIs and open heart surgery and all sorts of forms of free healthcare from illegitimate birth to violent savage death...
That a medicine chest shall be kept at the house of each Indian Agent for the use and benefit of the Indians at the direction of such agent.
Then surely we can similarly "extend" the rule about intoxication punishment to include intoxication from marijuana, opioids, pot, crack cocaine, and heroin: just like alcohol if we catch a Red Indian consuming it or otherwise under its influence in white man's territory, we shall punish them swiftly and harshly. More importantly, Litttlechild and Thomas must help us do so on punishment of execution. Don't believe me? Again, read the actual treaty and turns out if they fail to do so they are in violation of the treaties which should come with a serious long-term penalty for their entire band.
They promise and engage that they will in all respects obey and abide by the law, and they will maintain peace and good order between each other, and also between themselves and other tribes of Indians, and between themselves and others of Her Majesty's subjects, whether Indians or whites, now inhabiting or hereafter to inhabit any part of the said ceded tracts, and that they will not molest the person or property of any inhabitant of such ceded tracts, or the property of Her Majesty the Queen, or interfere with or trouble any person passing or travelling through the said tracts, or any part thereof, and that they will aid and assist the officers of Her Majesty in bringing to justice and punishment any Indian offending against the stipulations of this treaty, or infringing the laws in force in the country so ceded.
So there you have it: if homelessness in Edmonton is being caused by Red Indians, then it only goes to show that we have been too kind and generous to them over the years and they need to shape up or be shipped 6 feet underground.
