I hope all the cidiots that voted Trudeau are happy they cant get to work now because he doesn't have the balls to stop the blockades now in Hamilton. At least the tax paying people out west took down the blockades themselves.

Yes, his years of promises to everybody (FNs, industry, environmentalists) have elevated expectations all around. Now he can't fulfill all those promises.Quote:

FNs themselves are struggling with this. Just look at the current situation with the Metis Nation of Ontario and the different pop-up groups that have emerged who assert that the MNO does not speak for them.
The problem now is the original protest that the hereditary chiefs were doing about not being consulted has been highjacked by environmental radicals and general anarchists who have decided to hit at our economy. Why is this not being considered an attack on our sovereignty?Quote:

Polls show more support for the conservative then the liberals. Before the teck bailout wonder what they think now lol.Quote:

In-fighting among splinter groups and the inability of the Assembly of First Nations to unite in a common cause will be their great undoing. Liberals are the grand masters of division and derision. With this issue,they'll wield it like an ax.....much the same as what they're doing with firearms owners. Bafflegab,bullshyte and waffling gets 'em every time.Quote:

Maybe CP, CN, and VIA should setup barriers were all the roads off the Reservations cross the tracks. It's railway property so they would not be trespassing. Lets see how FN feel when the groceries and gas don't come in, and they can't get out to visit the doctor or go to appointments.
Amen. What goes around, comes around. Have a short protest but don't stay long enough to shoot yourself in the foot. I think this will result in elevated animosity towards FN's.Quote:
