This is another article in the long list supported by the G&M, telling us that we, Canadians, don't belong in our own country, are beholden to aboriginals, and are on our way to being despised for the "settlers" we are.  While there can be no disagreement that aboriginal peoples were treated badly in the past, this headlong rush into "all aboriginal, all the time." has its limits.  By all means embrace the aboriginal past, but try as you might, it does not overshadow what Canada is today. 

Part of my family has been in Canada since the 1700's.  Other Canadians have only been here for one or two generations.  Regardless of the rebirth of this aboriginal pride, we are still Canadians, and for our accomplishments and contributions to be diminished by the apologists and revisionists, doesn't cut it.  Most Canadians are getting a little tired of it, but the G&M doesn't care, because they, being the Eastern Intelligentsia, know what is best for all of us.
