Plus acknowledging the blacks? like wtf?
important stuff first, then missing white kids.
how many Canadian Blacks who are descended from slavery are there in NS? I should ask Grok.

Estimating the number of Black descendants of slavery in Nova Scotia today is challenging due to limited specific data and the complexity of tracing lineage. However, we can piece together an informed estimate based on available information about Black Nova Scotians and their historical roots.
As of the 2021 Canadian Census, 28,220 Black people lived in Nova Scotia, with the majority in Halifax. Many are descendants of groups tied to slavery, including:
Black Loyalists (1783): About 3,500 arrived in Nova Scotia after the American Revolutionary War, having gained freedom for supporting the British.
Black Refugees (1813–1816): Roughly 2,000 escaped slaves from the War of 1812 settled in Nova Scotia, primarily from the Chesapeake Bay area.
Earlier enslaved Africans (1600s–1700s): Smaller numbers were brought by French and British settlers, including 216 African-descended slaves at Louisbourg (1713–1760) and hundreds with New England Planters in the 1760s.
Jamaican Maroons (1796): Around 600 freed Africans were deported to Nova Scotia, some of whom stayed.
Underground Railroad migrants (pre-Civil War): An estimated 10,000–30,000 African Americans fled to Canada, with many settling in Ontario but some in Nova Scotia.
Not all Black Nova Scotians are descendants of enslaved people, as some have Caribbean or other African ancestry from later migrations. However, the Black Loyalists and Black Refugees, who form a significant portion of the African Nova Scotian community, were directly tied to escaping slavery. The 52 historic Black communities in Nova Scotia, such as Africville, Preston, and Birchtown, were largely founded by these groups.
Assuming a conservative estimate where 60–80% of the 28,220 Black Nova Scotians descend from these slavery-related migrations (accounting for intermarriage and other ancestries), the number of Black descendants of slavery could range from 17,000 to 22,600. This is a rough estimate, as no precise genealogical data isolates this group. Migration to Toronto since the 1950s may also reduce the local population.

This kind of shit I don't trust A.I. with. You have to consider the source material being used. A.I. can't differentiate between real info and fabricated woke bullshit. I find A.I. tends to use "fact check" info and bs sources most of the time.

Just a simple goy from the Maritimes
We used to begin public events with a Christian prayer, but these kinds of "acknowledgements" are the prayer of the new religion of racialized Marxism in which whites are demons (or at best, deeply penitent sinners who constantly need to confess their "racism") and non-whites are angels
Fuck that, its our land now. We got it fair and square.

There's a funny story about the how the Dutch got Manhattan Island. The story you usually hear is that the Dutch bought the island for $24 worth of beads and trinkets. While that is true, they paid $24 in beads and trinkets, the indians they "bought" the island from didn't own it, it wasn't part of their tribal territory. So basically the indians scammed the Dutch! New York and indians haven't changed one bit.

This is honestly the first I've ever heard of this. Not once were we taught about the great African enrichment of Nova Scotia in Social Studies class.
Assuming they exist at all.
Calling them African Nova Scotians 400 years later is PEAK Racism and bigotry. They are multigenerational Canadians at this point. They haven't been "African" for a long time.
As for the Migmaggies?, go fuck yourselves. No they are not "Unceded lands". Is there a transfer of ownership everytime a Conquering Nation takes over? NO
You were invaded, you fought to defend your land, you lost, your land was Conquered. Your people lost the rights to ownership by force. It's happened thousands of times across the entire world. You are not special just because the United Nations developed UNDRIP to strip people of their land rights.

This shit infuriates me. These idiots need to grasp the concept of ‘sovereignty.’ If you can’t defend it from being taken, it’s no longer yours. It sucks, but this is how it’s worked throughout history. And whomever agrees with these ‘blood and soil’ BS premises should at least have the consistency of gifting their homes to the first native person they meet before drowning themselves in the ocean.
The lady on the $10 bill is said to be a descendant of slaves who followed the Underground Railroad to NS.
