As I look out of the window I can see dozens of little kids dressed as witches etc...the only difference here is that these children go round the shops with their parents to fill their ''buckets'' up...Anyone else heard of this?

89% of Canada is still Crown Land and it hasn't been doled out to anybody. Imperialism lingers on an on, even in de Nile.


The UK recognises it’s imperial past . It looks like it’s spawn North of the US live up de nial without a paddle.
You are rich and your cities are gilded because you have looted the planet. When I see the UK emptying out the V&A museum and giving it all back, I will believe you.

Believe what? That the UK is proud of its Empire or that the Canucks pretend they had nothing to do with it ;D

All empires since the first ever have 'looted', so what is so special about the British Empire? - Except that a lot of the artefacts 'we' nicked are now carefully looked after and available for public viewing and for academic study and research.

p.s. As for that 'Trick or Treat' stuff - 'Bah, humbug!' big time.

Here's a trick or treat special for you: It's a recreation of an ACTUAL MASSACRE OF INDIANS that happened IN THE 20th CENTURY, no less!

Sorry to put another downer on the thread, has anyone mentioned the two million we starved to death in Bengal during 1943-45?

Please list the massacres.

I will do it for you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Canada

I every case but one, it was the natives massacring white settlers or natives massacring each other (something that happened often "pre-Columbus"). The exception was in the Cypress Hills of Saskatchewan where a band of American whites tried to extend their war against the Indians into Canada, which led to the formation of the Northwest Mounted Police (the "Mounties") to stop that from happening, again.

The forced removal of Children ... that subject came up earlier with the "Home Children" of Victorian England ... 100,000 of which were forceably removed from English cities and sent to places like Canada and Australia.

Forced sterilizations were part and parcel of the Eugenics movement and it was invented in the UK and practiced there for 150 years.

I think you should stop defending Canada's ethnic genocide..the ''schools'' and the murders..

You have a lot to say about British Colonialism..''sins of the father's'' and all that rubbish..

Who were the first Canadians??

Same as Black people..I don't think that my family ever owned a black slave..Indeed we were slaves ourselves..I don't think that we have made any black people forced to pick cotton here..however they are demanding ''compensation''..

Just for being here..a third generation..

Maybe we should put them on a plane and take them back to Nigeria?

I'm afraid that you have no idea what you're talking about, which is a little disappointing, considering that this country is your oldest and most steadfast ally (excepting maybe Portugal) on this planet. We're not the biggest. We're the second biggest. I know that it's a stretch to expect Britons to know much about Canada but SOMETHING .... You must be extremely self-absorbed, you lot. Maybe, Brexit is the proof of that.

The fate of the Home Children is well know, here. It is a part of the fabric of our country.

What kind of a horrible nation would do that to their children? ... round them up and sell them into servitude overseas? It's almost a genocide.
Apart from the millions of deaths that is

Do you look at your car and say it's almost an aircraft carrier? Hyperbole does seem to be in season.

FYI, only 2% of the 100,000 Home Children sent to Canada were orphans. Most of them were forceably removed from their families in Britain and basically sold into slavery overseas (Australia got even more of them). It was a "class" cleansing genocide and not benevolent in any way.

Not exactly Canada's proudest behaviour either as the abuse that occurred in Canada was by Canadians.

Since you raise the issue, isn't it about time Canada joined the rest of the countries involved and apologised

We had two of them as house guests in 1967 while their mother was in a Montreal hospital being treated for Tuberculosis... from Pangnirtung ...

Maybe. Some anyway ...

They were citizens of the Empire back then, technically. Canadian citizenship is quite recent ... starting in 1947 ...

The thread is looking up!

We've gone from the relatively harmless British tradition of trick or treat to genocide! ;D
