Canada Day - A Time of Mourning for First Nations Across the Land - Wear Black Arm Bands

The following is a Note copied from The Four Elements of Change Facebook page.

For all who support the #IDLENOMORE movement as I do, this is a beautiful idea.

Let us unbind ourselves.

Let us unbind ourselves and turn to the world around us in a DAY OF MOURNING ON CANADA DAY.

This is an easy suggestion for all in Canada - All people supporting Idle No More. Lets wear a black arm band on Canada Day - in public. A big one, hanging down our arms. If anyone asks - educate them by saying they are celebrating "their country's National holiday" on the backs of First Nations. Canada Day in a country that has destroyed hundred of smaller Nations to call themselves Canada - is truly a day of Mourning - BLACK.

Remember the churches schools and the humiliation of racism - shame is a powerful tool when it speaks to the truth. Use it in an educational way as they are human beings and will feel their own shame - maybe enough to inform themselves what is truly happening inside First Nations. This also helps us to walk toward our true collective healing - which we are all going to have to do anyhow!

 When Canada celebrates a day that represents the loss of Sovereign rights for First Nations, it is truly a day of mourning for First Nations. Lets see how well our networking is and get this to go viral across the country. Buddy up with someone, bring your drum and invite people to sit with you and share why you wear black. Every immigrant to these lands will know what black means. This is our Summer of Sovereignty and what a fitting way to start - up front and in public. No more hiding! We will see who is an Ally then.

I Am Canadian!

I love my country but I hate what has been happening to it. 

I have no problem with wealthy Canadians being wealthy but I have a problem with the wealthy (Canadian or otherwise) buying my government and undermining my democracy.

I have no problem with capitalism, government, corporations, police, intelligence, defense or other components of the state but I have a problem when individuals in those segments of our society engage in graft, corruption and abuse of power.

I am a Canadian who doesn't like hockey or beer but who loves Canada and wants Canada to be a better place for ALL Canadians not just the few with the money, resources and connections to engage in  bribery, influence-peddling, graft and corruption in order to place themselves above our justice system and engage in these criminal acts with impunity.

Let's put an end to allowing the wealthy to place themselves above the Canadian Justice system.

Let's put an end to allowing the wealthy to buy our governments and undermine our democracy with impunity. This is a crime and those who do this belong in jail.

Let's put an end to allowing the wealthy to destroy our Civil Rights so that they can continue to engage in these criminal acts with impunity.

Civil disobedience is not a crime no matter how many fascist laws are passed to make it appear to be one.

Occupiers, Anons, and WikiLeakers are not terrorists nor are they engaging in sedition or treason.

They are Patriots who love their countries and want to make our world a kinder more humane place to live.

In order to accomplish this, the graft, corruption and abuse of power and those engaging in it has to be exposed to the light of day.

Exposing graft, corruption and abuse of power is the act of a Patriot not the act of a terrorist.

The Real Terrorists, who are engaging in sedition and treason, are those who are buying our governments in order to ensure that they implement policies favorable to them and often against the best interests of the Canadian people as a whole.

The Real Terrorists, who are engaging in sedition and treason, are those who are engaging in graft, corruption and abuse of power within our state and government agencies.

Occupy, Anonymous and WikiLeaks are Anti-Terrorist Organizations.

It's time that CSIS, the RCMP and other police forces did their jobs.

Arrest the Real Terrorists. 

Arrest those who are undermining our democracy and buying our government.

The wealthy should not be above the law.

And stop violating the Civil Rights of Canadians to engage in legitimate dissent.

Happy Canada Day!

That's what turns the wrong so right
That's when you can't give up the fight"
