Canadian Values: Sikh Man and Nations Peoples

canadian values: A Sikh man as the Defence Minister! The Komagata Maru was turned away for a reason, according to Globe and Mail. For Macdonald and the rest of the British colonial founders, First Nations peoples were an inconvenient presence. If Sir John A. Macdonald could see Canada now, he'd be rolling in his grave. Our first prime minister wanted to eradicate so-called barbaric cultural practices, so he instituted the residential school system. It seems strange to think about Canadian values of the past. If he couldn't bleach them, he could at least destroy First Nations culture and replace it with white values. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
