You want to foist Mike Duffy on them?!? Nuggler! What do you have against Canada's Indigenous people?
Well, when one thinks one knows everything to begin with.....well, you know the drill.

Yah, sorry, sheesh, what was I thinking?.............Pretty much anyone but the Duff.8O
Seriously though; I do think it was cruel not to give them a govt. welcome to Otttt...............woops..........considering the Great Leader's M.O..............that's exactly what they got.
I get the feeling you don't like good government. All Harper is trying to accomplish is undo some of the excesses that years of liberal governments have saddled taxpayers with. Lefties generally call these entitlements.
Used to be resource jobs too but the lefties don't like us making money. Unless it is pandering to rich tourists for minimum wage.
No, no I didn't, but I don't usually go to great lengths to promote hijacked agendas.
Some of us do not want to be Mexico North.Actually worse because our tourist season is very short unless you like cold outdoor mud wrestling.
I heard they're going to ban that, to many participants losing eyes to very firm pointy nipples.
Some of us ski but lack good mountains.
It's just a lack of creativity.
BC should be in Dubai or the Sahara promoting Rain Tours.
Arabs and Africans would pay well to splash around in unlimited puddles in the deluge months.
What a PR frig up.
Sure, to be fair, the panda traveled further to see him, but I really don't get how you can justify seeing a zoo animal over meeting with your own voting populace who are making a statement (highjacked cause or not). Of all the protests and actions taken by the Idle No More movement and ensuing gestures, this strikes me as the most positive. That should be encouraged, not ignored.

I get your point, but wouldn't his meeting them just be an invitation to any feel good agenda group marching on Ottawa from around Canada and demanding the same respect?
Where do you draw the line though? What groups are worthy, which aren't?
I think he made the right choice.
Did anyone other than Preston Manning greet the guy who drove a combine from Dawson Creek BC to Ottawa years back?
All the way to Ottawa to meet Manning. That's like going to a hooker to get a hug.

You think they were hijacking an agenda any more than fatty Spence ?
I think they had good intentions, but, dunno, and can't prove it, so won't argue with you.
My initial statement still stands: They got snubbed - way bad.
He should have phoned ahead. Jean was probably busy deflecting Shawinigate.
Nope. The message has been lost and/or stolen.
I think their intentions were altruistic.
Fair enough.
Issues are still being brought forth just not all at once and in detail.
Latest is ridiculously low education funding in comparison to provincial off Rez schools. Nearly 1000% per student.
There has been plenty of weeding the garden and regrouping.
Round 2 should start soon.
That's old news. Something I pointed out on this very site, years ago.
They have ways to go. Sadly.
They need to knock out the leeches, latcher's on and hidden agenda types.
It is being brought up again after Provincial and Fed budgets upped revenuing sharing with Municipalities.
The majority of Municipal funds go for schooling.
So I guess the new news to this is the gap grew again.
Funny you should mention that. My wife just had a family fro Texas stay here for a week. They went to Tofino in the rain and loved it. Apparently they get about 340 dry days a year. If I hadn't been away working I would have taken them to the North Island to really see rain.
