Nope I'm thinking of reserves that spend the money they are budgeted for on things they were budgeted on, like a budget in any community usually is. Spending housing budgets on new a Zamboni, or the fire fighting budget on a hockey tournament, is not responsible to the residents of the community
And THERE is the $64 dollar question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW does anybody KNOW what reserves do with their govt "grants"???????????????????????????
Unless somebody in the band council SQUEALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We know that Cree Atiwapiskat chief Teresa Spence and her band council BURNED THROUGH $150 million dollars without leaving behind a single receipt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we KNOW- because Spence TOLD US SO - that it is none of our business what happened to all that cash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Band councils RESERVE THE RIGHT to close their books to "outsiders"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That means ANYBODY who asks AWKWARD QUESTIONS GETS TURNED AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that INCLUDES Ministers of the Crown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back in the 1970`s- the western Lubicon Band was the first to get in a land claim under the new LIE-beral legislation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The claim was negotiated...................................
and agreement was reached ......................................
land was transferred......................................
OUR CASH was doled out....................................
LIE-berals were HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They had settled things with Lubicons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So WHY IN HELL were Lubicons subsequently photographed - POSING with the ambassador from white South Africa???????????
With Lubicons claiming they were being treated WORSE than blacks in South Africa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are several possible explanations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First- back in the 1870`s...........................
when OTTAWA wrote up its lists of EVERY SINGLE NATIVE THEY COULD FIND.....................................
wrote down their names.................................
wrote down the names of their parents................................
wrote down the names of their children....................................
wrote down the names of all aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews...................................
AND THEN NUMBERED THEM ALL WITH THE WORLDS FIRST SOCIAL INSURANCE NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because the land treaties specified Ottawa had to PAY OUT FOOD AND CASH to natives on the brand new reserves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Ottawa in the old days TOOK CARE of our pennies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So is it POSSIBLE that Ottawa overlooked an entire SEPARATE TRIBE of Lubicons?????????????????????
IS it possible this mythical tribe did without any govt grants or welfare cheques or baby bonus etc............................
FOR OVER 100 years??????????????????????????????
And then after 100 years.................the lost tribe awakened from slumber and demanded GRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or is it MORE LIKELY that some Lubicons decided that the previous LIE-beral land claim settlement was TOO CHEAP and they could do better with new demands???????????????????????????
Personally I think the MIRACULOUS APPEARANCE of this new group of Lubicons is nothing more than double dipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is the usual native horsesh+t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most signed on to the new LIE-beral land claim.........................................
but a few were MORE GREEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One QUICK WAY to sort out the Lubicon claim would be to go through the tribal books and see who GOT PAID from that land claim settlement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody who got paid from the land claim would be DISQUALIFIED from claiming membership in the brand new Lubicon tribe that appeared out of no place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the tribal elders say the books are PRIVATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And NOT AVAILABLE TO RUDE WHITE EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same scheming and scamming forces that magically conjured up a brand new tribe of GREEDY Lubicons in hope of shaming Ottawa into supplying even more gravy is now at work conjuring up opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless HUGE NEW SHIPMENTS OF GRAVY SHOULD MAGICALLY APPEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In which case the pipeline will be accepted by natives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After all- if natives win big bucks on this pipeline consultation they will have a LOT OF NEW GAS GUZZLING TOYS to fuel up!!!!!!!!!!!!
Natives want cheap gas for their pickup trucks and Suv`s and atv`s just as much as civil service union Hogs do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All this is to PROVE that Harper was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT when he ordered band councils to post ALL their expenses online for govt auditors to examine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the fact that Our idiot Boy Justin CANCELED that posting of expenses indicates that Our iiot Boy does not give a sh+t about natives......................
any more than he cares how our money is wasted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just so long as he gets to cling to power at ANY PRICE then all is right with the LIE-beral world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
