加拿大原住民条约土地简略
自1700年以来，加拿大原住民已经和加拿大君主（the Crown）签署了近500个土地条约。1850年是一个分水岭，把原住民与君主签署的土地条约分为两大类：1850年以前签署的土地条约，往往是给予原住民一次性偿付以得到原住民让渡的土地，相当于购买原住民的土地；1850年以后的土地条约，更多的带有每年支付一定的资金给原住民的条件，相当于土地的租赁。

加拿大宪法案例：Connolly v. Goodrich
英王买了原住民的土地，按照原住民接受的价格。我们和原住民做皮毛贸易，甚至和他们结成战争联盟，不干涉他们的内政，不干涉他们的内部事务。根据这点，原住民是自治的。法官 Monk 因此得出结论，原住民的领土和政治权利，以及他们的法律，都是完全有效的。

管窥加拿大原住民
加拿大原住民分三种：第一民族（First Nations），因纽特人和梅蒂斯人。根据基因研究，第一民族源于中国。从2万6千年前到1万1千年前，逐猎的中国部落追着野兽在冰川时期跨过了白令海峡的路桥进入了美洲。大约在8千年前，依靠北冰洋渔猎的美洲人形成了一个独特在北极圈里生活的文化，就是因纽特人。最初学者们称呼北极圈里的原住民为爱斯基摩人，“爱斯基摩”是吃生肉的人的意思，因纽特人对这种殖民者给他们的称呼非常不满。上世纪79年代加拿大放弃了爱斯基摩这个称呼，采用因纽特人的称呼。“因纽特人”是因纽特人自己对自己的称呼。也有一种观点认为因纽特人是从亚洲进入美洲的第二波人，是西伯利亚的通古斯人。梅蒂斯人是欧洲皮毛贸易者的男性和第一民族的女性生下来的后裔，形成了他们自己独特的语言文化。

Uniting Histories and Celebrating Contributions: Let’s have a Chinese Railroad Workers Day
In the vast tapestry of our nation’s narrative, there exists a pivotal moment—a century-old scar that still bears its weight upon our collective conscience. Today, as we stand on the precipice of the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act, we are compelled to confront this dark chapter in our history. Its indelible mark of discrimination and injustice has shaped our society, leaving a lasting impact on the fabric of our nation. It is in this solemn moment that we advocate ardently for the establishment of Chinese Railroad Workers Day, a national statutory holiday that not only pays homage to the remarkable contributions of Chinese Canadians but also serves as a beacon of unity and a testament to our shared commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive Canada.

Canada is a developed county with rich resources and advanced technology. Canadians should have a life better and better. Yet Canadians are now facing inflation and housing affordability, with increased homeless and violent crimes, and reduced living standards. Canada does not have an independent foreign policy. Washington dictates policy for Canada. Canada is doing a favor for the US hegemony at the expense of Canadian national interest.

Who is spreading Sinophobia in Canada?
Canada is a democratic and open country. A democratic and open country will be influenced by countries all over the world, and the influence is mutual. The Canadian government must distinguish between good influences and bad influences. One cannot turn a blind eye to Washington’s bad influence on Canada, yet unreasonably worry about China’s good influence on Canada. As an open democratic society, Canada should have the grace to embrace China’s friendly influence.

The Historical Difference between China and the West
Western sinologists cannot understand China and Chinese history, because they use Western logic to frame Chinese history, and they never make sense. When some Western sinologists understand China and tell the truth, they are labeled as communist infiltration and suppressed.

Universities ending new research cooperation with Huawei damages Canada’s national interest
Canada’s national interest can be protected with an international relationship of mutual respect and win-win cooperation. Canadian national interests are damaged when our economy is just an attachment to the US economy. The ending of research cooperation between the University of Waterloo and Huawei is bad for Canadians as a whole.
