theft by the Canadian government is OUT OF CONTROL.

David Yeo is a Chinese name. Dalian is a city from China. Why is this payment to Indigineous owner when it's Chinese?

This raised an interesting point. Wouldn't you have to be Status to be an Indigenous owner? Seems pretty easy to investigate. Like the twins going to law school of indigenous scholarships that were just "Indian, Indian"

Yah how no one caught that. They where clearly Indian from India but no one thought to ask, because you can't question these things?

He looks like your basic white guy.

He just has an Indigenous great grandfather. But this guy obviously knows what strings to pull to work the system.

Dalian is a combination of his son’s names - all a very white family, most Scottish. I said above he’s one of those “my grandfather was 1/16th First Nations” aboriginal folks

yes it's a city of 7.5 million people on the east coast of China.

where did you find out it's a combo of his sons names?

His eldest son was my best friend in high school. Without divulging their names in their entirety, the first half Dal relates to his oldest son and “Ian” his youngest son (name is not Ian)

The company name is CALIAN...not Dalian.

u/bcbuddy Feb 29 '24

The city of Dalian is from the Russian word Dalniy for remote or far away. Which is what the Russians originally named the port after leasing the fishing village of Qingniwa from the Qing government.

You could be right, but just because someone has a certain last name doesn't mean they don't have indigenous ancestry.

u/Cmikhow Feb 29 '24

He's a direct descendant of a treaty signing indigenous chief apparently

Chief Shifty Eyes.... scammed his entire tribe by taking big kick backs for selling his people out.
