Bothered Boy

Back on July 19th, I made a video about what appeared to be a slow-motion coup happening in the nation of Guyana. This is a follow-up video that features good news on that front.

Yesterday we discussed Canada's history of Indigenous slavery and the extinction of the Beothuk pre-Confederation, and today we're talking about abuses against the natives post-Confederation.

The latest news about Ottawa and Alberta cutting reducing oil sands environmental monitoring using COVID-19 as an excuse is the straw that broke my proverbial back.

One of the most ignored parts of Canadian history is the use of Native slaves in New France and British North America. I'm here to shed some light on this little-known, horrifying, and exploitative part of our history that has been conveniently forgotten.

It hasn't even been 24 hours, and I'm already seeing terrible conspiracy theories about today's tragedy in Beirut, Lebanon. Not all of the bodies have been recovered yet and people are already assuming they know what happened. It's disgusting and shameful.

There is this popular narrative in Canada with regards to racism that "we're not as bad as America." While popular, it is fundamentally incorrect. Canada's history of Black slavery, fugitive slaves, race riots, as well as racism and discrimination are woefully undertaught if not outright ignored.

Canada has over 200 years of slavery in its history, and yet it's been swept under the rug for the sake of the official narrative of us being a "tolerant and multicultural society." It's a farce, and it bothers me.

Apparently, GDP shrunk by 33% in the second quarter in the US. Not only is that bad because it makes the the Great Recession and Great Depression look like a joke, but it's compounded with a variety of other factors. Between a lack of rent relief, a lack of employment, and the pandemic, a crisis of historical proportions is brewing and no one is talking about it, let alone preparing for it.

Mitch McConnell, the sentient turtle from hell, wants to make sure that you can't sue your employers for giving you COVID-19. But don't worry, he's making sure that they can be allowed to sue you however.

Well, we're finally at that point. Donald Trump has called for a delay to the 2020 election, claiming increased postal voting could lead to fraud and inaccurate results.
