That compensation was restricted to one generation... Here we have demands for compensation that last an eternity.

Note,  we are referred to as settlers  "who attempt to claim belonging" in this article.  The every legitimacy of Canada is questioned. This is using victimization as a form of aggression.  Frankly, I find it mildly offensive.  But, I believe the writer has a right to offend me because his right to free speech is more important than my offence. Moreover, I am sympathetic to the plight of indigenous peoples on reserves and acknowledge we need to do more.   

But I do not require the writer's permission  to belong. My birth certificate gives me that permission. And the writer can belong too.   Canada is multicultural and is today open to  the free exercise of cultural expression by all groups, including indigenous peoples.   But the writer does not want to belong.  He seems to aspire to a uni-cultural  sovereignty outside Canada to which nobody else may belong.
