Russia from setting up a base?

Eyes and ears? They're chess pieces.
And given the state that government dependency has them in, that's pretty fucked up.
Not gonna bother with the statistics. I'm sure you're aware.
Homicide rates, suicide rates, substance abuse, unemployment, etc..

I'm getting a kick out of everyone talking about the north, and quoting this and that, with no real world experience up here.

I watched an episode of that show where they establish a residence in remote areas and it was on Inuit land. Pretty sure the entire show was factual.  | |

That should be the debate, not whether a racist old white guy shot a young charming hard working native guy.

That should be the debate, not whether a racist old white guy shot a young charming hard working native guy. | Don't forget the racist all white jury. And the racist Justice system.
Or the fact that Saskatchewan is consistently ranked province with highest crime rates and severity of crimes, year after year (still well below any of the territories though). Must be racism.
It's ashame the defendant was white. Could have avoided the court process altogether https://www.saskatchewan.ca/resident...going-to-court
Kinda makes you wonder if the Boushie family would have been this angered if their sons life was taken by a fellow native. Hmmmm

This is making the rounds on FB Quote:
Dini Ze Smogelgem

This is Gerald Stanley. He was found not guilty by an all white jury that was overseen by a judge with an known history with #whitesupremacy --- He murdered Colten Boushie in cold blood simply because he was a #native man knocking on his door in the middle of the night. #colten stopped by the farm and was asking for help with a flat tire. Gerald shot Colten in the back of the head as Colten tried walking away from what was turning into a deadly situation. Afterwards, Gerald's wife mocked Colten's girlfriend while she was in complete shock screaming over Colten's dead body. Gerald and his wife calmly went back inside and brewed a pot of coffee and waited for the police. The Native family in the car was immediately arrested when the police arrived. During the #rcmp #investigation the police constantly #harrased Colten's grieving parents.
This very behavior is the foundation of #colonization and it's eventual #confederation
This is why #indigenous #people must define our own #future and #selfdetermination --- This is why we must define #reconciliation
| Just there asking for help with a flat tire? uh huh.
Gerald fired two warning shots into the air. That does not sound like the actions of someone who was prepared to kill. He aslo claimed: Quote: |
. It was at that moment, he said, the gun went off accidentally. He said he never pulled the trigger. His defence lawyer suggested it must have been a hangfire, particularly since the cartridge casing found inside the vehicle had an unusual bulge firearms experts could not reproduce. | Hangfire: a delay in the detonation of gunpowder or other ammunition, caused by some defect in the fuze. Firing a gun into the air multiple times would makes hangfire possible and go unnoticed in the middle of a confrontation such as this.
It's sad that someone had to die in order for a lesson to be learned about why you don't go on an armed, drunken, crime spree in rural Canada.
And no, these things do not justify shooting someone and I don't agree with Stand Your Ground laws.

| That's the biggest upset of this whole thing,IMO.
No lessons were learned. Finger pointing. Projection and not reflection.

Love Trudeau's response. Very Obama-esque.
Wonder what further concessions he'll put forward to rectify this grave Injustice, and "repair" relations.

I'm curious about the details of the case, the account that I read did not say that he was shot as he walked away, it said he was shot in the driver seat of the broken car AFTER he tried to steal an ATV and AFTER he had rammed the broken car into another parked car on their property.
That's a pretty massive departure from "He was shot in the back while walking away from a dangerous situation"???
Which story is it? Why are the 2 accounts so incredibly different?
It also wasn't the middle of the night??? The wife was mowing the lawn at the time, I don't recall reading what time that was at in the breakdown of events I saw, but I don't know too many people that mow their lawn in the dark. Where did that Instagram poster get his/her "facts" from?
I was reading all the farmers in the area are scared of retribution, so they're all arming themselves now... awesome.

It also wasn't the middle of the night??? The wife was mowing the damn lawn. | Consider the sources of each account.
Oh, also, there's the many many lies from the witnesses.. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...ticle37817572/

Colten Boushie, 22, and four friends are driving through the RM of Glenside, near Biggar, Sask. They’re on their way home to the Red Pheasant Cree Nation when they pull onto a farm owned by Gerald Stanley around 5:30 p.m. Two people from the vehicle get into a confrontation with Stanley and his son. Boushie is shot and killed.
