colonialism with the abuses thereof, the way people still
think and face their daily lives and how they address the others
as they call anyone who’s not an Anglo; colonialism and racism
still thrive in this country, like everywhere else; the endless lie
about assimilation which they fork out to everyone and anyone
in order to keep them down, keep them outside the door which
safeguards the goodies inside it, which the outsiders imagine that
they’ll have someday, though that day usually never comes. And
this because the invader doesn’t feel like advancing the fortunes
of the locals, au contraire, the idea of subjugating rather than to
ever improve the local’s fortunes is the law of the colonial mind.”
“But no, Anton, these things shouldn’t belong in today’s
Canada,” George objected Anton’s analysis.
“I wished they didn’t; don’t forget Tyson and how he reacts
every time he hears you talking with your accent. Believe me,
George, the concept of colonization and the resulting theft of
the natural resources of the land, which belong to the original
inhabitants, the Indians in this case, thrive in this land; with the
occupiers paying back the legal owners of these resources with
morsels that aren’t enough to feed them while at the same time
the occupiers promote to them the idea of assimilation, a simple
tool that it is, just to keep them under and have them survive at
the lowest standards of living thus perpetuating the affair. The
concept of colonization and racism is what inflicts irreparable
damage and psychological suffering and humiliation to these
savages as they still call them; the concept of colonization and the
injustices inflicted upon the locals through the various programs
which have as main scope subjugation and terrorism of the locals
to the point that they can only dig in and wait for the opportunity
to revolt and declare war which they have no way of winning.”
“Hopeless situation by the sounds of it.”
