Is that another question? I'm having a tough time figuring out what your questions are.
I'd be happy to have the First Nations pay taxes for the rest of us. How can we make this happen?
We can steal their resources and sell them. Then we can give them a small pittance off the money we make.
You can't debate without fallacy, can't identify what a question looks like.
Your failings just keep increasing.
Hey congrats, you got something right!
It has a squiggly thing at the end with a period at the bottom. I've been through your posts a dozen times and can't find one addressed to me. Perhaps if you just pointed one out I could answer it. Ohhh...don't worry about it. I know you'd rather poke needles in your eyeballs....that's why you're just so damn entertaining.
How can one pose a question to you, when you haven't addressed the topic?
Hence...
If you don't have an answer (meaning, to the OP) that's fine. I wasn't really expecting an intelligent one.
Are you now saying that you haven't, in fact, asked a question? Are you actually admitting that your last few posts have been nothing but silly blathering? No, don't answer those questions.....as John Prine said, "Well, a question ain't really a question If you know the answer too".
What makes me wonder is why they have so much trouble with water. 7 or 8 years ago when we lived on Gabriola Island we
had to drill a well. Once the well was drilled we took a sample of the water from that well to the government water department
and had the sample analyzed. The analysis told us what bugs were in the water and the engineers selected the filters that
would capture and kill the bacteria in the water. A final, charcoal filter took out the chemical that killed the bacteria.
The well, filters, and pump, cost me less than five thousand dollars. That system is still operating.

If by "they" you mean the aboriginal communities, that is a thread all to it's own. I've spent a pile of time on reservations repairing systems that bands were simply not interested in maintaining themselves. It's far easier to hold your hand out to ask your more money (and whine when you don't get it) than it is to go get the training to fix your own problem. Oh the horror stories I could tell you
Look, if you don't understand the OP, feel free to ask. I'm here to educate the ignorant. Of which you amply qualify.
And of course that means all reserves are just like that?
Don't bother answering that, I already know, we're all gov't teat suckers.
I wouldn't know. I haven't been on every reserve. Every reserve I've been on is like that though and I'm quite sure I've been on more than you have. That's probably why I have so little use for you and your agenda. I've seen it all so many times before.
We already knew that. That's why you can't formulate a reasoned debate.
You should work on that.
When your done, put together something intelligent and let me know. Then we can talk.
Here's an idea...
How about all the fu*king indians quit their bi*ching and whining about how this was their land 400 F-ing years ago and realize this is now Canada. You all lost the war then and you can certainly lose it agin if you want to keep pushing it. Shut the F*ck up, pay your taxes and you will get everything every other Canadian gets. Until that happens go find your own water and stay the F*ck off of our roads and other infrastructure and welfare and healthcare and every other free f*cking gift you get from the rest of the people in this country. Seriouosly if this keeps up you can have your own f*cking nations but be prepared to get your own currency and infrastructure and cross heavily fortified and guarded borders if you want to leave your little f*cking reserve. I swear the next group of indians that decides to block a road I am using and my taxes have paid for will meet the front of my truck up-close and personal like.
I am so sick of this sh*t!!! Either be part of Canada and be welcome and equal or be your own f*cking nation and stay the f*ck out of ours and off our infrastructure and social systems!

Please, a little decorum.
There is a whole sh!t load of debt our culture owes here and a number of treaty rights have been abandoned, swindled and deferred by the government on our behalf. So simmer down a bit and talk rationally about it or do the right thing and hold your tongue. You and I and everyone else here knows you aren't going to run anyone over with your truck so let's just ratchet down the hostility and discuss. If it makes you so damn angry, do something that sooths the soul and not bother with getting some worked up over a topic on the Internet.
Woe! Dude! I hope you didn't get a coronary from that rave. And from a BCer. We don't even have hardly any treaties with the people we stole this land from (we didn't even have any wars with them) and we have stolen billions worth of resources. We have treated our indigenous people like crap, beat their culture out of them, raped their children and have the audacity to look down on them because they catch a few fish and deer. We live in a rape and pillage society that has no regard for future generations. It is all about me, me, me. Time to start treating people with respect instead of always looking out for number one. Karma has a way of equalizing the playing field and that day is long overdue.
While it irks me whenever a blockade occurs(and it isn't just the Natives that have done this, as the Tamils have done this as well), I certainly would not run them over. What would that solve? Sheesh.
I didn't do any of that to anyone. I don't care if they fish and hunt as long as I can too. I am tired of being blamed for and paying for things that took place 200, 300, 400 years ago. It is time to just put an end to it all and all be Canadian as equals.
I don't think there is going to be any getting equal. As in even Steven. As in they do to you what has been done to them. Not to mention some of the BS is still going on right now, today. So focus that passion for making change that benefits all of us rather than divides us.
You are absolutely right, there will never be enough for us to give to make it all even in their minds and that's the big problem, as long as they keep thinking you and me owe them for events in the distant past it will never stop. Our grandchildren will be going through this again no matter what we may concede now so why bother.
What I am saying is just draw a line and put it in the past and go forward as equal people with equal rights and priviliges from here forward.
And FYI - my family was booted from our Barony in France during the revolution and I sure ain't trying to get the French to pay me for it or give it back...it's ancient history and I live in today.
