"Another opening ceremony and another land acknowledgment about how we are doing business on land stolen from this nation or that nation. It’s the way it is whenever the liberals want to celebrate a new presidential library or a new bridge like this one between Michigan and Ontario."
. . . "What we have done with the land? Well, we built a prosperous nation on the land with more respect for the rule of law than whatever was here before. Did the nation that “owned” this land allow its own people to speak about how the land was stolen by them from another nation? It probably was because there is no original owner of the land. Again, the nation that we remember today very likely stole it from another nation. Sorry, but that’s history!
"The real problem is that these acknowledgments are starting to get old and just obnoxious. So stop talking about it and do something tangible. Give the keys and title of “the stolen land” to the original owners. Let them charge tolls on the bridge or do whatever they want to do. Give the nation a seat in the U.S.-Canada-Mexico trade agreement so they can profit from whatever crosses that bridge from that “stolen land.”
"Come on, do it or stop talking about it!" . . .
