The I-Thou Relationship: Deconstructing Canada’s Indian Act | Leighton Grey


Listen Later

  • In this episode, lawyer and advocate Leighton Grey shares his "Indian Number" and explores the fundamental truths about Canadian legal segregation.

    Leighton applies Martin Buber’s "I-Thou" synthesis to the relationship between the state and the individual, arguing that Ottawa has objectified its citizens—specifically Indigenous peoples and Albertans. He also provides a chilling reading of Nietzsche’s "Parable of the Tarantula," suggesting that the promise of "equality and vengeance" is a web designed to consume the victim.

    Key Topics:

    • The Indian Act: Canada’s oldest and most divisive statute.

    • The Parable of the Tarantula: Power, control, and the "Woke" web.

    • Ruffled Feathers: The legacy of Leslie Watty and the fight for true integration.

    • The Mark Carney Critique: A look at the shift in Canadian political dynasties.
