Are you Patriotic?

BEGIN May 4th

Kanada is an Iriqwuis {?} word for paradise. The lasd over the hills with pleantiful trees, animals and wealth. America is a term for the promised land. The place Columbus and Vasco de Gama tried to find. A new worlds, free of the original sin, a place for gods chosen people to set up shop, rape, pillage, exterminate, export the gold and spices. Is it any wonder that Isreal and America are close allies. They practically have the same name. Notice how in that New world they now like to be called 'Americans' in America rather than in the United states. Lets forget the south and remember that it is the gun that is mighty, hte gun and the lie of propaganda.

As born into being a Canadian I'd like to think that the promise land of prosperity that the NDNs dreamed was in facty a real place where real wealth existed but you were not going to get it if you didn't take care of the land.

Canada is supposed to be a federation - just like the United States of America - of seperate, distinct, autonomous societies. That was the ideal. But we still have the Queen on our money and that represents English Canada's renegging on the deal with the Quebequois and NDN nations and newly immigrated societies from Asia, the Carribbean and the rest of Europe.

So I say, what is this canadian Unity ideal then? Why should that be in opposition to Quebec soveirgnty? If we are all distinct diverse and soveirgn then we may one day acheive a Canadian Unity. If not then we are just another empire set to dominate until failure and counter domination. Then Canada, the real land of wealth given to us by the earth and sun and our ancestors, then that is meaningless. Why not just more America? Canada is already America if it opposes soveirgnty to all the distinct societies.

I'm after George Woodcock, that great dreamer of an equal land from coast to coast. Two oceans and a multitude of people.

Some Quebec soveirgnists have also given up the dream with their mediocre brand of racism and isolation. Let's have soveirgnty for all. Lets split off thew west coast and the east, everybody indipendant but cooperative. Lets not just have a duplicate homogenous concensus imposed by Ottawa but let that be a meeting place of rivers to cooperate.

Let's make the first nations arise from the colonial repression finally and stand soverign.

Fuck jingoism and the military. We stand in solidarity together in a borderless union of equals, sharing the wealth that was given to us.

In this Salish land now called Vancouver the wealthy NDNs only worked for subsitence 2-3 days per week and made art culture and beauty the rest of the time. Let us advance towards the progress that our foremothers once knew and forget this clock watching cock fighting way of being.
