It's National First Nations Aboriginal Day

[Mcluhan]

Okay, who wants to go first?.. Oh alright, I will

My favourite memory of the week is watching an elder Inuit speaking in native tongue to the CBC National camera which panned the white covered frozen landscape behind him, why it was they had to respect Ottawa's policy in the north regarding reduced Polar bear tags in view of the dramatically declining bear population. He said, with a northern light's twinkle in his eye, because if they don't, the Government and the lawyers will come after them.

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all

Cause I'm the tax man
Yeah I'm the tax man

If you drive a car- I'll tax the street
If you try to sit- I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk I'll tax your feet
Tax man
