Do they even canoe? |
i want to say something racist. but there are too many ways to go about my racist statement so i'll just leave it at that. |
Beware of bows and arrows! |
This area is huge! http://i.imgur.com/pegYp5D.jpg I would love for sections of Canada to be independent and outside of its laws... parts of our economy would really flourish without the burden of regulations (permits & licenses), and tax to do business. |

I'm really interested to see what this "blockade" consists of... “The DFO continues to favour existing commercial monopolies and continues to inadequately consult with Aboriginal groups when enacting policy,” he wrote. “Due to its gross mismanagement and failure to follow government mandates, we can no longer allow the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to manage fisheries within our territory. We cannot stand by while fish stocks within our territory continue to be depleted and our rights ignored.” I mean I don't really see how this blockade will save the eco-system of their specific land. The eco-system that is damaged is widely dispersed. I get that they might be doing this to raise awareness, but even if they are able to regulate mandates / laws on THEIR territories, the mis-management will occur elsewhere and directly affect their eco-system. There is a MUCH bigger picture here, and I hope it ALL gets captured in this and doesn't just center around their territory and its sustainability. |
We should be done with this Native bull crap. What happened to them happened 200(?) years ago. The government should honor the agreement for natives who prove they understand their culture and history, and live on the reserve; although, they should not support natives who choose to move out of the reserve and cash in on social services. This whole native thing is on par with the African-American slavery stuff that dumb kids always cry about today in the states. We obviously wouldn't tolerate slavery or displacement of people today but the point is, what happened in the past can't be changed but it was a different time and a different kind of thinking. I don't see how someone is entitled to take taxpayers' money to support their whole family, because their great great great grandparents were mistreated. P.S. Not to be offensive, but from what i've seen living in the lower mainland is: Natives who want to integrate still use their native status to cash in Natives i've known personally actually try to take advantage of the system by applying to multiple bands/tribes or w.e the fuck they're called. Then they brag about all the stuff they can buy while their cousins on the reserve have leaky roofs. Many natives move out of the reserve and use their status to buy drugs and alchohol. (not a stereotype, you can see for yourself and you'd be lying to say I'm wrong.) |
Do you think the largest diamond in the world, which was stolen from India, should be returned by the Queen? Or was that too long ago to make a difference? |

"African-American slavery stuff"? Are you fucking retarded? There are people still ALIVE to this day that lived in a time during the Jim Crow era laws. Do you have any knowledge of this subject whatsoever? Did you conduct any sort of research before you made that stupid post? Do you actually believe true societal balance can be achieved for a group of people that underwent that level of segregation less than half a century ago? Jesus Christ... Quote:

Who gives a flying fuck, nothing's going to happen or be done about jack shit concerning this. |

You can argue that's your experience of First Nations people in the Lower Mainland, but as a Métis person with many Aboriginal friends and acquaintances my experience is entirely dissimilar. On the other hand, I have met white people that abuse the welfare system. I wouldn't suggest white people abuse their status, though. |

There was racial segregation,still pretty bad, but that's not the same as slavery so iunno what you got ur panties in a twist for. My point was we should stop living in the past. What's is your point? People who were victims to that sort of treatment should be entitled to more things than the rest of us and that we should all kiss their ass because of what someone else did to them? |
I tried to make the case of an ethical one because people often dont put themselves in others shoes... but even people of today have no connection/understanding of their past roots. We have to look at what makes people like Ball.J.Inder come to these conclusions... to live in the moment, disregard history, and think our rulers today are the fresh faced politicians that revolve in and out of government every few years. I blame most of it in our school education and the other on the carefully tried and tuned propaganda machine of the media. |

I'm not seeing the method in which they will use to enforce this blockade... I could announce my intention to block off a road because I felt like it, but nobody would give a crap unless I made it impassable. |
