gone are the days when people went on hunger strike to actually bring about change, with no fear of getting sick or dying... well. .that rarely happens in North America. We still see brave people willing to die in parts of Tibet, even India.
when is a hunger strike not a hunger strike when you consume broth all day

Really? Can you back any of those claims up with copies of the documents? I suspect not. If you are arguing that there is no fraud, waste and mismanagement in the Indian industry then you are seriously delusional.
Sorry, my mistake, the Zamboni and rink cost $140,000 together. The Zamboni was only $70,000.

as the old joke goes, patience jackass.
If you were wrong on that, how about the $500,000? Were you wrong on that too?
Yes - it's called private property rights and giving them the same rights and responsibilities as every other Canadian. We can't continue this racism and justify it with good intentions.
Wrong on what the $140,000 rink and Zamboni? lol
Until you post the documents, I think we all know who the jackass is.
The plight of the poor native American, or the First Nations. It's time for a full overhaul of the old "Act" and in with the new. There is nothing holding you back now and there hasn't been for some time, except for a welfare lifestyle. There are successful reserves and unsuccessful and it is high time outside management comes in to turn these unsuccessful ones around. I have been on both and have seen with my own eyes the good and the bad. The good aside, everyone lives comfortably, enjoy work, school and their native heritage. The bad is all that is bad in society, people profiting and enjoying luxuries others can only dream of, while their own live in squander. Waste that is unfathomable to imagine.
Out with the bad and in with some business savvy, pro bono work from the outside to help straighten out this mess.
No more excuses, no more bullshit.

There's an assumption here that aboriginals are not capable of taking care of their own. That's soft bigotry and only traps FN in a web of their own making. Some bands are managed very well by aboriginals and financially are holding up fine. To assume that Chief Spence's incompetence and dishonesty applies to all aboriginals is not supporting the FN cause...quite the contrary. First step to resolving this is FN leaders need to suck it up and own this problem rather than blaming the Feds, the white man, Sir John A.., etc., etc., etc.
The part that rarely get's mentioned in the papers is the fruit juice. That's food. Liquid food perhaps, but food, high enough in calories that people trying to lose weight are told to abstain. She is doing more harm than good with her shenanigans. Spence is not about FN, she's all about Spence.
You were doing quite well until you appear to try and get the white guys in Ottawa off the hook. There is enough blame on both sides to go around. It's been known since the late 60's by some inside the then INA Ministries, that many of the Native claims and greivances had merit, and should have been addressed back, saving millions, bit nope.
My guess is that some of these super-high-post-count non-hobbyist trolls like to a) argue and b) read the reviews and touch themselves.
I stepped in it a couple of times before I figured it out. Every post starts with either an insult or if you call them on it switches to passive-aggressive insults, word-twisting. Then it ticks you off and now you're doing the same all over the place. I just don't have the free time to go back and forth with someone like that. I work for a living and can't be part of someone's weird debate-porn fetish.
Before you seriously engage someone that has that many posts and is probably a virgin, take a moment to reflect on the level of anger and sadness someone must have to live that life and just walk away. If enough people take that approach maybe they'll go outside or even see an SP and work some stuff out, the level of discourse on the board will rise about 500%.
Don't feed the pigeons and they will fly away.
I am no fan of Harper BUT, he is only one side of the equation. There has been, and continues to be, a reluctance to chance or scrap the Act from the FN side as well. The way the leadership of the FN handle Idle No More will be just as much a test for them as it will be for Harper.
A total scrapping of the act is the minority position inside the various FN associations, preferring to using the frame work and build on it. Yes on the INM, as well as the reverse.
