I get that you have a sardonic bent. I love sardonic bents, but your giggles, aka 'lols', telegraph your lack of seriousness in what is essentially a very serious subject. If I read you correctly, you're saying that due to the global threats of war and the ongoing destruction of our environment we are all in the same leaky boat. In that you are absolutely correct but in no way, shape or form do white Canadians somehow live the First Nations experience, even if some white Canadians are poverty stricken and oppressed by the system.

If you've had the privilege of spending quality time with First Nations individuals you will know their fondness for laughing and giggling. You would also know there is a time and place for being serious.
