" In this time of information, there is no longer an excuse
for the propaganda and stereotypes of Indigenous
people to persist. Take off the blindfolds, put away the
movies and start asking questions. Why are the natives
of Canada so angry? Why are their languages not
spoken or taught in schools? Why do the government
created reserves have third world conditions in a
country supposedly known for its human rights? Why do
they protest Canada150? Open your eyes, ask the hard
questions, learn the true history of your country. We can
only be a truly great nation when we all work together,
and to do that: we all must stand on equal footing. My
wish for Canada is to accept the work that needs to be
done and work towards equality in justice, education,
and employment for to its Indigenous population. Let's
see an end to racism and discrimination!"
