You seem to be equating democracy and direct democracy as the same thing. They are not, in most cases what we experience and live in is a representative democracy which means people are elected to them represent a group of people. He is representing his constituents, who will no doubt be split on this issue. He helped trigger a landslide that in the light of truth and reconciliation efforts was tough to ignore, and no way out was going to offer 100 percent satisfaction.
As for the Inuit and the Eskimo thin, I think that the position you are taking is the Inuit were never Eskimo’s so they don’t have a say. I think it’s ignoring reality, we in Canada called them eskimos for a long time, whether they were or not. For the most part thye don’t want the term used. I grew up in central Alberta, at that time we called the indigenous around us Indians and the ones up north Eskimo - neither were correct, and neither are done today.
Anyways, I’d love for all posts related to the team name to be banned, it always ends up where we are today. I do get where you are coming from, I do, I disagree with much of it though and wish we could just focus in the football club and not this subject.
I will refrain from responding on it moving forward as I know I’m contributing too.
