The only thing staff at the office of the BC Provincial Health Officer will be doing is undoing and unlearning their capacity for critical thought if they take any of these admonitions seriously.
One snippet explicitly endorses a secular version of original sin that, naturally, applies only to white people:
Recognizes the truth that Indigenous-specific racism is perpetuated through white supremacist policies and practices that remain hardwired into our systems and processes, and that impede the health and wellness of Indigenous Peoples.
They’re complaining about Canada being Quebec and it’s nine bitches of Government…those White Supremacists…
Certainly know that creepy people are running our political party’s and where that gravy train of money that they endlessly blow on idiotic causes.
Just think how much money BC could save if it fully embraced indigenous healing?
Need a doctor? Go to the nearest medicine man or woman.
The province will be able to save lots of money as traditional herbs will be dispensed for all maladies.
And if this doesn’t work, the local First Nation will happily arrange for you to take a walk in the woods.
My G F F is in negative numbers, they can all F O A D as far as I am concerned.
Of course, the bureaucrats embarrassing themselves on the website are all white women with about as much Indian blood as my pet cats.
They can get away with such nonsense because they know that the only people that are regularly held accountable for being “colonizers” in these enlightened times are Jewish Israelis. The Indians aren’t about to launch rockets at downtown Victoria, partly because wiping them out once and for all would be a long weekend’s work at most. The most Indian braves dare do nowadays is block a rural road.
It’s all a very profitable racket for people who know nothing they do has a chance if solving the Indian problem, and are too well paid to care.
What impedes the health and wellness of Indigenous Peoples? Smoking, drinking, abusing drugs, bad diets, lack of exercise, promiscuity. Same as the whites.
The difference is that white people aren’t paid to sit on reserves doing nothing but drinking and using their way into an early grave, and blaming whites for the fact that they can’t take care of their children.
The residential schools were designed to take care of Indian children when their parents obviously could not, and teach them to be an asset to society instead of a burden. As it is now, the only means most of those children have of escaping the rez is suicide.
The Jews are not the misfortune of mankind. The misfortune of mankind is people who don’t appreciate the things the Lord saw fit to give them—including their children—and then blame other people when the Lord takes them away.
Right to the point and on target.
A term I stumbled across lately is ‘untethered empathy’. You are to feel bad for someone, but must remain non-judgmental so as to not offend. Your empathy has no grounding in any kind of morality. We see that with riots in 2020 and also today. All critical thought is prohibited, so the result is nothing gets dealt with or fixed ever.

Isn’t the government immediately rendering itself illegitimate by stating this? What, exactly, is the source of their current legitimacy?
Maoist struggle sessions
Seems apt for BC somehow
Marching off the cliff
Onwards!
Drivel dribble snot and spittle.
Melanin: noun
a dark brown to black pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals. It is responsible for tanning of skin exposed to sunlight.
____________________________________________
So, I wish to table a new position. If you have dark colored eyes and dark colored hair, you have a higher amount of melanin in either/or. This, automatically, makes you less racist than someone in possession of light colored eyes or hair. However, skin melanin will still be based on non-sun altered appearance. Additionally, and unless there are any objections, I request that immediately list Polar Bears as racist. And, as discussed at our last meeting we have need of stripe counters to make a full determination on the racist quality of zebras. White tailed deer will be subject to racist designation based on which way they are facing.
Good suggestions, Orson. We’ll form a working group and get right on that. Coffee and donuts provided at the meetings, of course, and a monthly working lunch at Chez Ritz.
A full report and recommendations will be due in 18 months.

Cool. How many million$ will it cost?
Well, the zebra stripe counters are hard to schedule. They are pretty backed up doing double yellows for the Dept. of Transportation. However, I know someone who might be able to help out if they’re back from disability. Constant flipping from dark to light causes them seizures, and they have a tendency to call anyone who is more white than black, “crackers.” As I’m sure you can understand, that confuses the animals since they think they are getting a treat. So, we’ll need a magistrate on hand to explain the situation. But, overall, it’s not going to cost much at all. Let’s see, stripe counters, magistrates, statistical recorder, and of course a witness or two. I think we can knock this one out at about $40,000 per zebra…and there can’t be more than 850,000 zebras on the whole planet. We’ll be under budget.
Well, if there’s any money left over in the budget, it will be distributed as bonuses for a job well done.

I’m having a hard time deciding if we’re being cynical or realistic on this one.
Tomato, tomahto. I guess we’re being cynically realistic.
“Recognizes the truth that Indigenous-specific racism is perpetuated through white supremacist policies and practices that remain hardwired into our systems and processes, and that impede the health and wellness of Indigenous Peoples.”
If I was a lawyer, I’d grab a couple of Natives and sue the government on their behalf. With that statement they just admitted that their processes are racist against the indigenous and furthermore, that their policies and practices are white supremacist.
Look, Canada absolutely does have institutional, systemic racism directed against painted sav- er, the indigenous.
“Status Indians” are literally, legally, second class citizens. They’re wards of the Crown, little more than children.
Clearly we must redress this by eliminating this vestige of 19th century colonialism and immediately grant full Canadian taxpaying citizenship to all painted sav- er, indigenous Canadians. Similarly, the practice of allowing extralegal unincorporated “reservations” must be immediately ended. For their own good, of course.
It wouldn’t help.
The only thing that MIGHT have induced them to sort themselves out would have been to give them a homeland on an island hundreds of miles from white civilization, transport all the Indians who refused to adopt white culture to the island and leave them there to fend for themselves, or die of hunger and disease, somewhere where no white man need ever waste a second’s worry on them again.
That’s what was tried for the Jews, after all, the twist in that tale being that the Jews, far from going extinct as hoped, flourished in their “new” homeland.
Had it been the Indians who had been re-settled in the Middle East and left to fend for themselves, the Arabs would have made very short work of them indeed, and everyone else concerned would be better off.
As it is, nobody bothers forcing the Indians to adopt civilized behaviour any more because the elites no longer see the Indians as a genuine threat to their dominion. Jews, in any society where merit and character actually count for something, quickly displace inbred, complacent Gentile elites, and the common people are always left better off.
Hence Jews were, and are, hated everywhere they set foot by local elites who have never tired of turning the peasants against them as a distraction from their own iniquity. The cause of the Indians is so popular in polite society because the Indians wouldn’t last a day without white patronage, so they will never truly rebel against their patrons.
And that little snippet is hard core racism eh?
The indigenous people have no agency and thus are unable to accomplish any positive change in their lives.
You want to see racism, spend some time on the rez
I think this diatribe is obsequious and not helpful. We are genociders, illegal squatters, and abusers. I think It is hard for individuals to relate to this portrayal of their country. This type of sentiment is exactly why Canada is falling apart. BC public health should be focussed on health. On the other hand their health policies have been very damaging. At this point, I think the whole of the BC government is completely dysfunctional,
Just worked a couple of hours at YVR today. Not only are the buildings done up with murals informing everyone that the airport sits on native territory (with matching signage at many entrances to the parkades and buildings) but they have an atrium built to house a full-size totem pole and, of course, the large centerpiece jade-colored statute of some Haida in a war canoe. The shops are full of native souvenirs and the restaurants have native-named menu items.
As if that all wasn’t enough, though, today while I was walking down one of their access corridors someone broadcast on their PA system (airport-wide) a request for “a minute of silence”…for native war veterans. Not ALL Canadian war veterans…just the native ones.
“Recognizes the truth that Indigenous-specific racism is perpetuated through white supremacist policies and practices that remain hardwired into our systems and processes, and that impede the health and wellness of Indigenous Peoples.”
Hate to tell this ignoramus but – when tuberculosis was ravaging indigenous communities – and was doing a number on non-indigenous communities as well, it was ONLY the white supremacist policies and practices that were helping the indigenous to survive. Several “preventoriums” were set up (know of at least two in British Columbia) which treated indigenous children with minor or pre-TB symptoms in an attempt to enable the children to fight off the bacillus and gain health and immunity. Given there were no antibiotics in those days – sulfa drugs were just being introduced and were generally unavailable – the treatment of fresh air and nutritious food (schooling also happened) was the best there was. Not until penicillin became widely available was there an effective pharmaceutical remedy.
Some months ago there was the same kind of BS in the Canadian Forces, informing all that the CF was institutionally racist. This was relayed by the CDS, of course. So this guy is in charge of the CF, tars everybody as racists. It begs the question, what has he been doing about it for all these years he was in charge? Now the CF tends to be pragmatic about things, in that if there are problems, they are identified specifically and corrective action is taken. Think about a flight safety investigation for example. I know, that’s toxic masculinity at work, identifying problems and solving them. Of course, no policy, regulation, tradition or procedure was named or identified as racist. Except maybe for accomodating Sikhs (turbans) and Indigenous people (haircut) in dress regulations, there is nothing. Yet, the leader of the CF parrots this crap. That’s Sr Leadership in the CF. And they wonder why recruitment and retention is in the dumps. He can think about that this Nov 11th, along with the fact that they ordered Padres not to pray during the ceremony.
