Dumpy may be right despite his inability to communicate effectively. Mainly because BC lacks all the treaties that apply back east. The other thing that will make a difference at some point is when a band finds oil or some other valuable on its lands. Like trees on other parts of the coast once the natives got custody they began their own logging to create jobs for their communities. I can see the same thing happening with oil and gas. How this will affect pipelines through another groups land is anyones guess.

Your inability to communicate really isn't an issue to me.
Given your serious lack of reading comprehension skills, I'd imagine you believe that's true.

I simply pointed out your deficiencies in geography knowledge.
Actually you highlighted one of the reasons you and the dumpster should avoid generalization. Then, your own poor comprehension skills. Nothing more.

On the contrary. I highlighted your lack of knowledge when it comes to geography.

(I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you actually read the comments you responded to)


No you didn't, numbnuts. The OP, as most if not all of dumpy's OP's, was not specific as to area. Instead, he was once again, very broad in his whining. You, as usual, grab onto an out of context remark, and like a dumb dog, worry it to death thinking that you are winning something. Just like that dumb dog though, you are accomplishing sweet fu ck all.

Now you're catching on! Lol. Also prone to the occasional hissy fit when he gets called on it too often. Just FYI.

Name some stoppages.
Natives have blocked a lot of stuff inn BC.

Native protesters block northern B.C. highway - British Columbia - CBC News

Prosperity Mine: Review Underway For Another Environmentally Controversial B.C. Project

First Nations - Land Rights and Environmentalism in British Columbia

Penticton band blocks access to construction site | Windspeaker - AMMSA: Aboriginal news, information and culture.

First Nations - Land Rights and Environmentalism in British Columbia

Great Whale project. 12.6 BILLION dollar stoppage.
I think he was replying to my comment that there have been plenty of stoppages imposed by FNs in BC. And I made that comment because I know of several. I know there have been plenty outside of BC, but I thought just BC would clue him in to the fact that FN peoples are not insignificant.

Not that I expect him to pay attention.

He's not right. There have been many stoppages brought about by FN peoples in BC concerning projects.

Your reading comprehension issues have already been duly noted.

Yes, I saw that after the fact. It was a neat change from the usual generalizations he and cannuck use.

I wasn't commenting on the OP numbnuts.
We know. You got PWND in a couple threads and went looking for a bone to gnaw on elsewhere to divert attention away from your ever growing list of failures.

There is no doubt why I find you extremely entertaining.
