IN DEFENCE OF OUR HISTORY

       AT THE TIME OUR FIRST PRIME MINISTER TOOK OFFICE, THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF EVERYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE HIM WERE IN THE HANDS OF OTHERS.  THE OWNER AND QUEEN OF CANADA ASSIGNED HER OWN REPRESENTATIVE THE GOVERNOR GENERAL. BECAUSE NATIVES ASSISTED IN THE WAR THAT BRITAIN WON GIVING HER OWNERSHIP, SHE AND HER FATHER  KING GEORGE, ACKNOWLEDGED THEM BY ASSIGNING SOME OF HER LAND AS RESERVATIONS FOR THEM TO LIVE TAX FREE.

      THE GOVERNOR GENERAL WAS TO DEAL WITH THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF ALL NATIVES INCLUDING THEIR MEDICINE BAG., FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER, 

      EDUCATION AND ASSIMILATION REQUIREMENTS WERE ALREADY BEING MET BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.  THE GOVERNOR GENERAL ALSO WAS TO OVERSEE THE NUMBERED TREATIES TO ENSURE FAIRNESS , RESPECT, AND EQUAL TREATMENT , NOT A EASY TASK AT ANY TIME.

    POINT BEING, THAT IF HE WAS INDEED, AFTER CAREFUL FACT CHECKING, GUILTY OF ANYTHING, THERE WERE MANY OTHERS INVOLVED IN ALL THESE MATTERS THAT  REFLECT THE REALITY OF THE TIMES, AND PLENTY OF BLAME TO GO AROUND. 

     MUCH OF THESE THINGS BEING DISCUSSED, HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED OR CHANGED TO THIS VERY DAY. 

       SO THE STAGE IS SET FOR OUR FIRST PRIME MINISTER TO ESTABLISH A SELF GOVERNING COUNTRY, AND HAVING HIS OWN AGENDA OF UNIFYING THE COUNTRY WITH A RAILWAY, NO SMALL TASK. THE MINISTERS ONLY COVERED THE FUNDAMENTALS AS THE FLEDGLING COUNTRY GRADUALLY ACCEPTED THE GRADUAL TRANSFER OF POWER, CONTROL, AND RESPONSIBILITY. WITH THE BEST OF INTENTIONS. OBVIOUSLY A CHAOTIC AND CONFUSING TIME INDEED. NOTHING WAS WRITTEN IN STONE, AND RECORDS INACCURATE, AND COMMUNICATION SLOW. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE IN HIS PLACE, WITH WHAT HE KNEW AT THE TIME IN ALL FAIRNESS.

      TO USE SOME CURRENT DAY UTOPIAN IDEAL AND GOD LIKE SELF ENTITLEMENT TO JUDGE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED BACK THEN IS NOT ONLY A FOOL HEARTY PROPOSITION. BUT  PROBABLY INACCURATE , AND A DANGEROUS. PRIVILEGE, THAT NOTHING  CAN JUSTIFY. 

      BLAMING DEAD PEOPLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS SERVES IS POINTLESS HATRED, IN ANY TIME PERIOD, AND IS NOT A CURE.

     OF COURSE DESTROYING SYMBOLS OF THE PAST,  CAN IN NO WAY INFLUENCE THE PAST, AND CONDEMN ALL OF US TO RELIVE OUR MISTAKES. BLAMING A HAMMER WHEN YOU STRIKE YOUR FINGER IS JUST TRANSFERRING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF NOT HITTING YOUR FINGER FROM YOU TO THE HAMMER. 

      ANY GROUP THAT IS WILLING TO TRADE GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL AND MEDIA  SUPPORT FOR VOTES, IS EASILY CONTROLLED BY A FASCIST GOVERNMENT WISHING TO MANIPULATE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. 

     SORRY FOR THE CAPS ......I AM PARTIALLY BLIND.
