You want to know why Germans liked the Indigenous people so much? My family were Habsburgs married with the lines of Membertou. Charles V was the king of Germany. We had trade with Europe since 1550's at least.

Our Mi'kmaw baskets were in Antwerp in use along with hockey sticks and snow shoes. We had voyage along the path of cod because it prevented scurvy. Our dwellings were of Denmark. Our Walnut trees too. The history is with me brother.
This photo is Avalin Gallien, Medard Lanteigne and my dad Adelbert Lanteigne (no hat) Medard was his cousin. Bottom row left to right, Nellie Lanteigne (Medard's sister) Carmen Gallien (Avalin's sister) and Vencia Lanteigne. The clothing handed down generations.
The Lavvu shelter is of the Sami people. The same look as Mi'kmaw shelter. We shared textiles and goods and many things, even spices because we were internationally connected by trade for centuries. We had the whole world in our area because the jet streams & cod.
The Habsburgs are the Royal line of the Holy Roman Empire. The lines run through the mothers. It always did in our kin. Canada targeted First Nations women with blood quantum and with rapes, trafficking with welfare, jails, making us wards with military etc. I lived it.
Canada's rape stastics are woeful. They are the same in the UK, Australia and the US as well. Colonialism attacked using sex to extinguish us by design.
I know my history. My parents were born as slaves in Canada, their parents were paid in tokens. I know. My grandfather Laurent Lanteigne, the husband of Philomene Landry ran the company store. The Jersey fishing company owner owned us. His wife's cousin was his Mi'kmaw wife.
This entire film speaks to the history of my people. I am of Caraquet. Reference to our slavery 52 minutes in. https://t.co/DWmhJNQsYn
What was your experience with slavery on your end. I have honestly never heard of it. Your people were on the land as were mine.
Acadians were treated as slaves. It doesn't mean we are slaves. Canada violated law to deport us. They violated law to take away your rights too. We need not fight to restore the nationhood because it's illogical to fight for what you have. https://t.co/xyK5ZBPPvD
Canada is just a shell company for British Empire. To restore justice we could simply go to the UN and state the case. The English Crown had no jurisdiction to take the lands. It violated rules of war, Treaty of Utrecht, Queen Anne's edict, King George etc. We were kin.
Habsburgs formed nation via marriages. That was the way if you wanted to be in the Order of Christ economic system. It's not hard to understand why so many Europeans were fascinated with Indians. Some over there actually were our kin. We didn't live isolated in a bubble.
The deportation moved us all around the world. My kin fled and remained on the lands, other's didn't but this act links to genocides and deportations from Acadia to Standing Rock with Amherst and down to Haiti and Falkland Islands etc. It was massive and lasted for years.
Nation is about policy not race. It didn't become a blood thing until after the English came. Black Acadians existed. Black Mi'kmaw existed. Mixed people were part many First Nationhoods. Nationhood is policy and family and laws that applied. Honor factual history. Honor all.
All four of my grandparents goes back to this tree. We have that info and I can name the European ones much further back. We were systemically hidden, repressed, silenced and kept as slaves but we kept our history regardless.
The Ancient Order Freemasons deported us. They planned it all. Read in their own words right here posted on the website for King Solomon Lodge 54 in Nova Scotia. https://t.co/CzXxR0uogd
The beneficiaries are greedy enough we need not fight them. They trained us to be slave so I can be as passive as I want to be while they bleed Canada dry of every dime. https://t.co/y5RgPXYq42
My family always measured wealth with what is given not by what is taken. What is given is in acts of compassion, service, duty for community. That is wealth. What these man exemplify to me is not wealth at all. They are poor. They behave poorly.

I like this heuristic, and have a few which are similar in intent to it:


Hiring efficiency:

How long does it take, measured from initial expression of interest through offer of employment signed, for a typical candidate cold inbounding to the company?

What is the *theoretical minimum* for *any* candidate?

How long does it take, as a developer newly hired at the company:

* To get a fully credentialed machine issued to you
* To get a fully functional development environment on that machine which could push code to production immediately
* To solo ship one material quanta of work

How long does it take, from first idea floated to "It's on the Internet", to create a piece of marketing collateral.

(For bonus points: break down by ambitiousness / form factor.)

How many people have to say yes to do something which is clearly worth doing which costs $5,000 / $15,000 / $250,000 and has never been done before.
