whatever the fuck that means. I guess it depends on who you're talking to...
4000 Troops and Tanks at Oka, 1990
● In 1990, 4000 troops using tanks and helicopters were deployed by the
Canadian Armed Forces against a small number of Mohawks asserting
their indigenous land rights. The Mohawks had occupied a small sacred
forest that had been unilaterally slated by a local government to be turned
into a golf course. The Mohawks blockaded roads and a bridge as a ‘last
stand’ for their land. One police officer was shot, the Mohawks say by
“friendly fire.”
“How can we fail to be astonished that the municipal council did not
consult the [Mohawk] Band Council with regard to the expansion of
the golf course?… Despite various troubling, obvious facts, Mayor
Ouellette ignored the recommendation that he not resort to the
police to settle the municipality’s dispute with the Mohawks.”
A fucking golf course, for fuck's sake. Don't take that poppy off, now. And make sure you let all of that racism that's bubbling just beneath the surface to come out when you hear of someone with a different perspective than yours, showing all of that "freedom and inclusion" bullshit to be just that. Total fucking bullshit.

Dig beneath the surface, and know what the fuck you're talking about, or shut the fuck up.
