You may wish to ask Santa next year for a Time Travel Machine then------Allowing you the ability to go back and re-write history

Pretty sure they wish to negotiate---Nation to Nation As they describe---never having been conquered but settled by Treaty A nation within a Nation---You know like Quebec

Interesting after 2 compliments---the terrorists term gets continually repeated If I was that concerned----I would jump in my vehicle---drive over to Oshweken---go into the Band Office and complain I visited 6 Nations many times as a kid---nice place

Whatever your opinion of the party or the man..... He was closer to this issue than many/most here Information is power.....inherited anger without reasoning is a roadblock in moving forward http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2013/01/16/f-idle-no-more-paul-martin.html But hey---I'm just a silly artist

Couple things....You mention the appearance...The Chief Dan George look---circa 1700 FYI----I lived on several Reserves between 79--81 in Western Canada (North)---not really that long ago most would agree You would be surprised at some of the elders that struggled greatly with English---I communicated with some elderly people more with pointing---They spoke either Cree or Chipewyan. I again am not FN---posted there with The Hudson's Bay Co. You mention violence in current blockades-----have'nt heard this in the idle no more movement---comments like that may get inflammatory to a general populace

For those who still do NOT know what Idle is about.... http://www.ottawacitizen.com/opinion/op-ed/Idle+More/7753967/story.html Also remember one truth-----little divise sidetracking snippets put forth by certain Gov't agencies are 1st meant to interject doubt--questions and divisions As long as fingers are pointed at Chief Spence---or Caledonia------The Federal Gov't agenda is not getting the scrutiny---and quietly keeps hacking---all while the population argues on the points thrown out to play red herring Hey Taxpayers.......Ever wonder why Longshanks and the rest of the Cons MP's--tip toe on F35 spending---always careful to say they have not spent anything on jet purchases----cause they don't wish to broadcast that they've spent near One Billion on acquisition costs-------of a plane you may not even get. Why do I write this???-------Cause if many wish to show outrage on taxpayers dollar spending-------it would be fair to not cherry pick a favourite whipping boy and know it all.

Like the Alberta Cree losing the land the oil sands sits on----no consultation or compensation And the taxpayer flag waving makes me laugh------One really has to ask themselves---even if the Gov't did not give FN's 5 cents----do you truly believe you'd pay less in taxes----or would they just find something else to spend on------I know where I'd bet my $$$---you'd get 2 more f-35's Canada spent 5 billion of "Your" tax dollars last year on foreign aid------where's the campaign on that---is it not also spending your tax dollars?? What about the 0ne Billion on G8 and G20-----Huntsville got a gazebo and Toronto got broken windows---my my---where's the taxpaying outrage here??

Not sure about this when you say not nature------I read they were going to shut the site down because they cut a tree down with an eagle's nest Eagles are nature....No??

You bet they're pissed off---cause as a taxpayer I did'nt sign up to remove all the environmenmtal protections just so some oil company can improve their bottom line How's that for a sugar coat??

Several isolated incidents are now supposed to determine a country full of people Hard to make judgements when only one side is portrayed Slippery slope cause...Newsflash-----there's issues on all sides

This is where The sun media like rags make hay As long as your mad at that slight of hand diversion (Hey look there---where's the $$ Chief Spence? and the likes)----your not watching your heritage and country being sold to the highest bidder. Me---I'm not commenting on the great education for 1st Nations cause it was all too recent of history when too many young children were "Rescued" from their homes and got that great free education in the Residential schools---so if your going to look at Native schooling---maybe look at it all.---it was'nt that long ago. Young parents----what if the man came along one day and scooped your kids and took them away from you sometimes for good----took them to say China and not allowed to speak English----would you be ok when told to just get over it and move on......

Who are them?? and do you have a link to show this??---newscast??---paper article??

Pretty sure they know why---just takes a little research Maybe the circus overtones are the typical divisive--misinformation the Conservative party built their platform on As long as a question hangs out there-----the electorate is divided Remember---climate change is a hoax pushed by the tree huggers-

I have no problem understanding the Idle no more issues------maybe the confusion lies with the readers and pre-conceived opinions several weeks ago I was stopped by striking teachers blocking the road----imagine??---OPP did'nt arrest them either I did'nt rant and rave----I listened and moved on Understanding takes listening sometimes and putting yourself in anothers' shoes.

Actually......TWOCODA for PM Thanks----for putting it into perspective And thanks to "Idle No More" for trying---when our current parliamentary system proved completely ineffective in having the oppostion get even a single change after trying what they had at their disposal to improve that omnibus fiasco Yes----Stephen "The Longshanks" learned well from his mentors------if environmental protection laws impede bottom lines for shareholders and his future employers-----change the law Now the traffic inconvenience------if they demonstrated at the roadside-----would they get the attention??-----do you notice the Hare Krishna's in the corner??---likely not. I'm glad they are there----standing up against this regime . Here's an article off the idle website-------Western farmers-----did'nt see that coming National Farmers Union in Solidarity with Idle No More Written by Sheelah McLean Saskatoon: “The NFU is proud to declare its solidarity with Idle No More, which is bringing people together from across Canada to stop the Harper government from riding roughshod over our collective rights,” says Glenn Tait, NFU National Board member. “We want a better Canada.” The NFU is calling for the federal government to fulfill its Constitutional duty to consult and accommodate Aboriginal and Treaty rights and urges the Crown to respect and fulfill the obligations of its Treaties with First Nations. We are all Treaty people. The NFU gratefully acknowledges the leadership that First Nations people - the first farmers, fisher people, and hunters of this land - have provided in catalyzing a public call to action for environmental and social justice. The NFU, in solidarity with Idle No More and its allies, looks forward to building a society in which our forests, waters, land, and people live and produce in harmony. In response, Sheelah McLean, one of the founding organizers of the Idle No More movement, says “We are so grateful for the support of groups such as the NFU. This alliance is essential for educating people about how critical it is to have healthy land, food and water.” “Idle No More is not solely about First Nations’ concerns,” says Tait. “We share common commitments to protecting our precious natural resources - water, earth, air, and people - today and for future generations. Like First Nations, farmers put land at the center of our lives, but none of us will be able to work, grow, and produce if our government abandons its role as protector of our land and water. Nor will Canadians have sovereignty if investment corporations own our farmland.” “Bill C-45 and the omnibus approach to legislation is fundamentally undemocratic and an insult to all Canadians. It is no example of how to accomplish these goals,” says Tait. “There has been no broad-based consultation about what is being changed, or whether changes are needed or wanted. Diverse voices and opinions are systematically excluded, committee reviews minimized, and debate quashed. The Harper government talks only to those who agree with its vision for Canada.” Tait believes that Bill C-45, Bill C-38 and other bills are threatening farmers’ rights to own the seeds they plant, grow and re-use. Legislative changes are making it harder for farmers to receive the full value of their grain. As evidence, he points to the Harper government’s destruction of the Canadian Wheat Board single desk and changes to the authority, structure and budget of the Canadian Grain Commission that have crippled its power to ensure fair grading and measuring. Tait cites Harper’s secretive negotiations of trade deals like CETA and TPP as further evidence of the government’s exclusion of not only First Nations, but all Canadians from democratic processes. “The Harper government is handing Canadian sovereignty over to corporations that are not rooted in or committed to anything but capital. It if has its way, these entities will have free reign to pry our lakes and rivers, minerals, forests, soils and seeds out from under us whether we are farmers or First Nations. We will stand together to stop this from happening.”

Have you seen anyone else out there fishing?? I'm saying that if you have that much current that your bait is sideways---you need to use extreme caution Also if there's a dam upstream---water levels may fluctuate---not a good recipe for ice If you fall through in current without a floater suit-----and if you go under the ice---that current will take you away from the hole River or current ice is not constant----one day it's ok---another it's not If it was me---I'd find another spot

Why ?? is it the part where they look to protect the lands and waters?? Yup ofc low

Don't know----never had a native person say anything racist against me--or hear them say racist slurs overall So not sure what you refer to although I have had them welcome me into their homes and fished and hunted with them

Good thing we discuss casinos, feelings and not facts We would'nt want to address Idle no more Native protest in Ottawa tomorrow---incl Grand Chief Atleo Chief Spence's now 8 day hunger strike--with Harper's refusal to meet Amnesty Intl 3rd world rating on Native living conditions---Got Water?? Algonquin co-operation on land claims agreeing to biz as usual Boy dodged one there http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/12/13/f-clibbon-pikangikum.html?cmp=rss

Don't forget your Bill's BB

Now I know the world's not endin Cause I did'nt win the lottery----surely had I won the big whammo would happen shortly after

Mayans have started with Youtube 1st---what's next???? MmmUUUwwhhaaa!!!

Yup---absolutely

Found this on Dryden Radio website Drinking And Driving Can Cost You By CKDR News - December 18th, 2012 - 3:06pm The Dryden Police Service wants everyone to have a safe holiday season. Community Service Officer Kevin Hildebrand says that officers will be targeting impaired driving by setting up RIDE checks every day throughout the festive season. To put things in perspective, these are the average expenses for a convicted impaired driver. Legal and courts - anywhere from $2000 to $10,000 Criminal Code Fine - $1000 Alcohol Education and Treatment Program - $578 Administrative Monetary Penalty - $150 Increased Insurance – estimate $4,500 extra per year for three years = $13,500 Ignition Interlock - $1,300 The total minimum cost would be about $18,128, plus applicable taxes on some items and actual costs may be even higher. Other costs may include property damage, loss of employment income and uninsured medical costs. If your blood alcohol level registers from .05 to 0.08 in a roadside test, you can lose your license for 3-30 days. If the driver is under 21-years-old, there is a zero-tolerance to any amount of alcohol in the driver’s system.
