Will the Attawapiskat audit wake up the Media Party?

Actually in Manitoba, it might even include Scottish ancestors, from the HBC, and Selkirk settlers lineage.

Hold crock of *?$#S if you ask me. Going to give everyone hunting rights, education, health rights that the tax paying Canadians have to pay for.

[bucket]

I agree with 15444, the last history lesson I had was that we won the wars with against the french and the indians.

We as canadians came out as losers, years later.

Sure its not pretty but its happened in every area of the world and is still going on today. The natives signed treaties, they can't continue to be renegotiated every ****ing time the natives come to Ottawa with some new tobacco for the Prime Minister to wave into his face.

Cut the cord with this welfare for the french and the natives and let some of those educated natives do something with the resources they have had given to them instead of crying "woe is me" for the 1000th time.

Someone in the last 100 years, on behalf of the natives, had to be sober enough to actually read what they were signing.

Funny thing how you can always rely on the us
constitution for an answer.

Leave me alone,ill leave you alone,i dont care
who or what you are or what you do as long as
you dont victimize anyone your fine,but if you put
a tax on my ass to support your shit ill hoist the
black flag and paint the liberty tree red

Some wounds can only heal themselves. Here goes
my story.
Several years ago the City of Regina was over run
with pigeons. They were pooping over everything -
cars, houses, statues and especially city hall. So
council set up a $10,000 reward for anyone who
could get rid of the pigeons. One day a guy walks
into the Mayor's office and proclaims he can get rid
of the pigeons for $10,000 but warns the Mayor
that if he or anyone else asks a single question it
will cost $1,000,000. The Mayor agrees. The next
day buddy shows up at City Hall with a bird cage
and in it is a blue pigeon. He releases the bird and
it begins to fly around the City. Soon thousands of
pigeons are flocking up and following the blue
pigeon and when every last one is in the air the blue
one flies away with the rest in pursuit. The next day
there is not one pigeon left in Regina and buddy
shows up at the Mayor's office to collect his money.
The Mayor says "Well done, here is your check".
Buddy looks at it and shouts "but this is for one
million dollars and you didn't even ask a question".
The Mayor says "I know, but I do have a question.
You wouldn't happen to have a blue Indian, would
you?"
Before anyone craps in my corn flakes, this joke was
told to me by Mike Cardinal, a Cree from Northern
Alberta who was an MLA and member of Ralph
Klein's cabinet.

Blackpowder,

I was being literal as the day is light.

This country can never be completely, 'Canadian'. We have three guaranteed nations under one roof and the end result of trying to dissolve them into one will either be civil war (for the good of the country), or the breakup and sell off of provinces as they go bankrupt --- which will eventually happen within the next 50 years anyways. (Huge boomer population to look after, Indians AND METIS to pay for and a welfare class that will explode now that EI is no longer an option for many). Side note: It is unreal how many seasonal workers I have been talking to that say welfare is the obvious choice if EI won't look after them.

Really my preferred result is to see the Indian problems to be resolved through massive, generation-destroying payouts, (lets say 200 billion) have the entire country go bankrupt and be bought up for pennies on the dollar by the US within 20 years. But with my luck and the state of the US, the buyer would more likely be China. Even then I would love to see these pricks demanding everything under the sun from a country that could give shit less.

But you know what? Go ahead. Compromise. That seems to give every Liberal in this country a nice warm feeling as their fleecing your pockets for taxes.

[blackpowder]

15444; My proposal would hardly be
construed as liberal or a compromise.
And it will never happen with the system
we have in place.
I agree, this shit is fubar. This
country will look very different in 50
years thats for sure. I wonder what the
long term policy strategists see?
I'm starting to see one big frickin
theme park. Chinese and natives driving
Beemers, Mexicans doing the work,
'european canadians' as the carnies.
Built in guilty conscience as
perpetrators of a 'holocaust'. Tour
guides for the tourists at a nation full
of protected areas and heritage sites.
Casinos and trinkets. And you can bet
your last dollar with the queen on it
they'll write their own version of
history too.
To hell with it. And don't call me a
liberal and I wont call you a _ _ _ _ _
_ _.

[15444]

Blackpowder, the liberal comment wasn't aimed at you, but a more general statement against bleeding heart liberals on this site and in this country.

[blackpowder]

No problem. I have no issue with the
native culture we see on TV. (spiritual,
environmental, communal). But we have
created a one ton pailbunter and let him
loose in the kitchen!
We have created fiefdoms. You don't
enter or work on or near their land
without paying %30 to a pimp. 2 outfits
getting paid, the local one to sit, the
outside one to get the work done. etc
etc.
I wish no harm to anyone. All i wish
for anyone is peace. BUT I Agree that
mainstream sees the Dancing with Wolves
First Nations, and not the Godfather
nations We've created.
Avatar my ass. We need a 'Scarface on
the rez' for Academy nomination. Of
course, most natives are decent human
beings just like most Canucks or
Colombians. But I wouldn't do business
in Colombia. This mess is
unsustainable. S.O.S.!

[sumdumguy]

Most of Quebec will be Metis. We spoke to some
French white people from Quebec. They have
Metis cards and some French in Sask that I know
also have Metis cards, so imagine the size of the
door that has been opened. Wanna see a 60
cent Cdn. dollar? Or doubling of taxes? When
you hear of France having a 75% tax rate, gotta
wonder what is in our cards. Think the feds will
appeal? I don't think they have a choice.
Basically the natives off reserve are supported
now by the province. The support will just shift to
the Feds, but the addition of the Metis is huge.

[furrowtickler]

Very tired of all this woe is me b/s. Western Canada has brought in tens of thousands of workers from overseas - people who want to work. All these jobs were and still are avialable to all canadians who were willing to work. Add in all the coruption on reserves and it is sickning to watch this circus act again and again. Keep giving a spoiled brat everything thing he/she wants and that brat will end up an overweight diabetic that is too lazy too work. This goes for natives and non- natives.
That and the fact they actualy act like farmers - never agree on anything, this will be like ground hog day forever - same ship everytime until one loudmouth gets a little ambition.

[hobbyfrmr]

At least this time the media shedding a little more
light on these situations.
This starving Spence gal may be the beginning of
the end of a really sweet gig for Native Indian
Reserve Chiefs.
Most modern Native chiefs are aware they will
have to be accountable, it's jut a matter of time.
Until then, game on.
This starving Spence went to the trough one too
many times. Some native Indian leaders never
miss an opportunity to...miss an opportunity.

[dubsy]

Bang on furrow. I'm ready to quit feeding these
Indians our tax paying money. Whatever it takes.
They already stole our truck why do they need my
money to?
