Mister G Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Dan, the natives are going to LOVE that truck you are buying them . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 LOL Even with the improved anti theft system; I'll be installing my own kill switch or no crank switch in it. Did that with my sons old F150; disconnected the horn from the steering wheel pad and rewired it to the neutral safety switch. To start that old truck you had to push the horn before it would crank the engine. Even the dumbest thief is not going to push the horn while stealing it. LOL This truck will have something hidden that will need doing before starting. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Dan, make sure you get the tax on top of the price of the truck the insurance gives you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister G Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 YES, you can always insure you're going to be taxed . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Pick this up on Friday. All I've seen of the truck is its build sheet. My wife took the pic; that's her desk in the foreground. LOL Said screw it, not waiting for the insurance any longer. Even if they do decide to fix the Avalanche, I don't want to drive it after what's happened to it. So if they do fix it (Not likely) I'll sell it ASAP; forget about it and take my losses. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH This was off rez, But yeah it's OPP 100% if it was on Rez it would be OPP with treaty 3 assisting. Turns out the murderer is not the guy I thought. No names have been released yet but they did say a Caucasian guy, names will be released after notification of kin. Horrible nonetheless And no worries man. Lots of misinformation etc out there. It's not racist or anything to ask an honest question. So anyhow the murder occured sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. OPP came in hot, evacuated the whole area. Apperently the OPP were heavenly armed. A suspect was arrested late yesterday afternoon. Sounds like something gnarly went down. I mean murder is gnarly as it is, but to evacuate and come in heavily armed seems off. And elderly couple, relocated from BC are the victims. Not sure I wanna hear the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) . No names have been released yet but they did say a Caucasian guy, names will be released after notification of kin. They actually describe someone as "Caucasian"? You don't hear or read that. They won't even say black anymore, dark complexion is how they explain it around here these days. Or light complexion for a white guy. I'm waiting for the Cops to name the brand of designer underwear a suspect was wearing.

I'm waiting for the Cops to name the brand of designer underwear a suspect was wearing.At least around here, theyd say native, Caucasian, African, whatever Aaaand scratch that. The official release names no races. But does mention it's not a friend that goes by the same name and works for an insurance company in town??? He must have already been threatened??? A 66 year old lady and a 77 year old man.

Old Ironmaker Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) That's strange to mention the suspect isn't related to a Cousineau that works in Ft Francis. Small town I guess where everyone knows everyone. He wouldn't be related to the Mark Couseneau that held the NFL sack record until broken by the guy from Good Morning America TV show.

FloatnFly Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 please me if im wrong, but it seems a lot of reservations suffer from a lot substance abuse, especially further north, and a lack or high school/college education. i know from my personal experience, a lot of natives that i went to elementary school with, didn't make it past grd 10 or 11. that was also around the same time that the Dudley George fiasco happened. whether the drop outs were related to that or not, i don't know. also, nice truck. too bad it has a bow tie on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a problem, undeniable. But it's on par with the rest of the country. It's just perception that makes it seem worse. And reservations are akin to tiny governments ruling over small amounts of people. It's really no different than our government, it's just more noticeable because of the small scale of it. Easier to notice an issue in 1000 person community then a 6million person community. I will say, RRFN treaty 3 is ran pretty awesome! I have full trust in our chief as he has proven time and time again to be for the community and has a remarkable track record in being a great human. All our financial records are are disclosed to the public monthly, the. A meeting for the community to discuss spending, funds allocation etc are up for discussion. Wanna work? All it takes is saying "yes I wanna work". He will find anything for you to do. Usually something like visiting and helping out elders. Community clean ups, infrastructure repair etc. There is literally no racism on our res. I'd know. I'm the only white guy there. And I've never been subjected to any racism, in fact I was welcome with open arms. Given ample opportunity to participate in prayers and community events, even traditional practices. Wanna sell drugs on our Rez? You'll be BCRd, convicted of any violent act including domestic abuse? BCRd, no room for any. Final behaviour on our Rez. I could go on and on, but it's quite remarkable. And when hydro rates skyrocketed, we built a solar farm. No everyone has free electricity, plus it employed half the community with good paying jobs. All the access money is transferred into accounts, for who??? Our children. Every excess dollar goes into trust for every child born of treaty 3. It's really amazing to watch/be apart of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
