Stuff like this and the “base” he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106
2008 … wasn’t Trudeau still in blackface back then?
Fuck that work ethic bullshit. Let’s live like cats.
“Yesterday on a day when the House and all Canadians were celebrating a new beginning, I made remarks that were hurtful and wrong,” Poilievre said.
Buddy, it was more than just that day… lol
DeSantis of the north. Good to see you in the Lemmys, Ulrich 🖖
Thank you. It is a sentiment not shared by all. :)
Dang! He sounds like one of ours.
Zamn, Canada broke my heart now 😭
Even if you accept their conceit aren’t the First Nation’s people entitled to compensation for all the other forms of genocide the Canadian government engaged in?
This dude doesn’t look like he’s worked a day in his life. Kind of good to know the conservative wormy look doesn’t know borders though.
20 years in Parliament with zero legislative achievements. He’s a pure chaos operative.
He hasn’t.
This dude entered politics right from college.
And sounds like he never left…
Thanks for the insight. I’m just a dumb American. Apparently a lazy one according to this shit heel.
This man says hard work while looking like he wouldn’t last 3 days without all the technology that the natives used to survive without. Bruh, we know what hard work is & how to do it, we just don’t give much of a fuck about doing it on your behalf.
So long as you’re still calling them “aboriginals” instead of I dunno like “The First Canadians,” then you’re making it crystal clear that you don’t care about them & you’re just mad that they aren’t letting you use, abuse, or manipulate them.
Is indigenous frowned upon too? I don’t want to be rude, but I can’t keep up.
indigenous, aboriginal, and aborigine, mean exactly the same thing. anyone getting offended at any of these word usages probably doesn’t know the definiton.
The etymology or aboriginal is basically “comes from away”; kind of Eurocentric. Indigenous means “comes from within a place” etymologically so while it is kind of semantic it’s obvious which one is the better choice. Many indigenous people however prefer ‘Indian’ because it’s how First Nations people are referred to in the Indian Act.
Aboriginal is “ab origio”, literally “from/since the origin/beginning”. Already the Romans used it in the sense of “there from the very beginning”.
Indigenious is “indu gignere”, “begot within”. The “place” part is implicit. More of a “native” thing as in “natively born American” but the meaning shifted from the original Latin.
Practically, nowadays, they’re synonymous. Over here we use “autochthon”, literally “self earth/soil”. Also used in geology and biology. The constitution speaks about “national minorities and ethnic groups”, going by the last recent arrivals 600 years of living here as an ethnic group suffices for autochthone minority status. Though in our case there’s no settler-colonials which of course changes the equation.

“Aborigine” is not “comes from away”. I don’t know where you’re getting your etymology from, but it comes from the Latin “ab origine” which means “from the source” or, in context, you know, THE ORIGINALS. (First used, incidentally, to refer to the people living in what is now Italy before the Romans took it all over.)
Uh, no, many of us prefer to be called by the nation we belong to. Some of the younger ones would be really offended at being called Indian, especially by white people. Indigenous, First Nations, and native are fine - better than Indian at least.
Aboriginal should be same as indigenous, but “aborigine” is a racist term (due to historical usage) for the original peoples of Australia. I’ve never heard of it being used for anyone outside Australia.
Just to be clear it is “The First Canadians” now?
i’ve been raised as a Gen Z to learn “first nations”, though aboriginal (from the root word aborigine) also means the exact same thing, so i personally don’t comprehend how someone can find offense in using that word.
maybe they are used to seeing aboriginals to describe aussi natives? still, it essentially means “first of the region”, or in other words, “first of the nation”.
Yeah, it’s not offensive, but technically “First Nations” is a subgroup; Inuit and Métis being the other two.
How can the Métis be “first” anything? They’re the product of intermarriage between native Canadians and European traders (mostly the French).
Yes, that’s why First Nations refers to the folks directly decended from Native Canadians (culturally anyway), and not the Métis/Inuit.
Ad. Yes, the Inuit are Native Canadian but they prefer Inuit, and they’re very culturally distinct. (Not that the array of first nations cultures aren’t)
Ah. I’d misunderstood what you meant. I thought you were including the Métis among the First Nations. My bad.
I just made that up but maybe? lol I dunno
This quote is from 2008… that’s 15 years ago. Back then calling them aboriginals was a politically correct term. This “first nation”/“first Canadian” trend is incredibly recent and it still isn’t widely accepted.
He has never held a job outside politics so that is the reason he looks as though he has never done a days work.
Serious question: what actually is the value of hard work?
It was common for european colonizers to say this about indigenous people, basically meaning that they don’t participate in the world economy. Or, said another way, they’re not being exploited for profits by said european colonizers, which is obviously bad.
To people like him, it’s valuable for people to get used to being submissive, learn the futility of questioning authority, and earn just enough to shut up and not be a “financial burden” on the country.
Your hard work makes rich people richer.
It all ties in that neoliberal belief that pure meritocracy is real and desirable.
Explain pierre and meritocracy? You will never ever make me believe his rise to leader of the conservative party was due to merit…
You’re looking at it backwards, he’s the head of the party so he must have worked very hard.

I knew it as the opposite of lazy. it did not mean you were overworked, just that you were self motivated. But I think that terminooogy has changed a lot with corporate expectationa
They mean the willingness to work.
And that fucking clown is obviously a racist, just ignore him.
@doleo @Ulrich_the_Old
It is a concept that supposedly is needed in order for us to succeed. As a concept, it is used to bury the fact that many of our “successful” citizens (read rich) actually inherited their monies or “knew someone”. It is also used to explain poverty…. That is, if you are not successful, it is your own fault because you did not work hard enough.Basically victim blaming and on the flip side of the coin pretending that the presence of wealth proves that they deserve what they own.
It’s not victim blaming to say something is your fault for choosing the wrong parents to be born to! Sheesh!
A ruined body probably

I amended my post to include the proof.

I used to be fine with this phrase but after watching that American History X scene that’s just too brutal to want to do to another human. Gross
It’s made for the road
Something, something, work makes you free…
Nice to see I’m not the only person who’s noticed the similarity between Calvinism and Auschwitz.
