Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.
Canada celebrates Ontario-Detroit bridge opening with indigenous chanting for some reason
Apparently, literally no public event can happen in Canada without emissaries of the whatever local native community banging on drums and chanting things, the meaning of which no one, possibly including themselves, can understand, thereby culturally enriching everyone in attendance.

Such was the case with the July 24 ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Gordie Howe International Bridge.

Truly inspirational stuff.
However, the speaker at the end there, Chief of Caldwell First Nation Nikki van Oirschot — I don’t know how native that sounds to me, but who am I to doubt her sacred native sacredness? — caught my attention on account of her ruby red lipstick, which struck me as potentially a form of cultural appropriation, the worst of all evils.
So I queried ChatGPT, font of all wisdom in the known universe: “Did native Americans wear lipstick?”
The answer:
Yes, many Native American peoples used pigments on their lips, but it would not be accurate to say they wore "lipstick" in the modern cosmetic sense. Lip coloring was typically part of broader body and face painting traditions and often had ceremonial, cultural, spiritual, or social significance rather than being used primarily as a beauty product…
Lip coloring was often integrated into full-face painting rather than applied only to the lips…
So, if by "lipstick" you mean colored material intentionally applied to the lips, then the answer is yes, many Indigenous peoples in North America did color their lips using natural pigments. If you mean a dedicated cosmetic product like a modern lipstick tube, then the answer is no—they instead used naturally derived paints and pastes that served multiple cosmetic, ceremonial, and symbolic functions.
Canada a ‘mosaic’ and not a ‘melting pot,’ declares Prime Minister Carney
On a trip to Europe to further undermine Canada’s sovereignty and quietly advance the end-goal of globo-homo race communism, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared Canada a “mosaic,” in contrast to the long-held American mythology of the “melting pot.”

Via Rebel News, June 16 (emphasis added):
Mark Carney was in Ireland this week, preaching about Canada's place in a new world order and deepening ties with Europe…
Carney told his Irish audience that Canada is “the most non-European of European countries” and announced it had become the first non-European member of the EU's SAFE mechanism for defence procurement — on top of 56 critical minerals partnerships established primarily across Europe…
The Canadian leader also described how Canada is a mosaic rather than a melting pot, made of distinct pieces stitched together rather than blended like the U.S.

What Carney means by “mosaic,” of course, is a pseudo-nation united by nothing, rendered into a state of never-ending tribal warfare between various factions of Third World importees, a failed state managed from on high by the technocrat class (his class), with the permanent underclasses too weak, dependent, and fractured to ever challenge their authority.
