Attawapiskat chief goes on hunger strike

[Cliffy]

You are kidding right? There was nothing about don't shoot told to the police huh? They would have all been dead in no time without the gov't playing nice.
You simply are not capable of logical thought boy.

Maybe not, but insanity has its perks.

Sun media is a bias conservative wannabe Fox News Network. ROFL
It's a well known fact they are a conservative bent news. So is it really news? Or propaganda dressed up like a news media.
Does any one point out the fact that Mother Theresa ate everyday.
Many an anti poverty organizer is wealthy.
So , even if she is rich, what of it?

If she was poor and desolate she would not be Chief.

Harping on the fact she is receiving water and a liquid nutrient so she can talk doesn't take away from the fact she is on a hunger strike.lol.
People that fast have tons of energy,and can appear healthier than most.

There is this bias going around and well, you either feel that way or like me you say these people need a huge hand up.

Some of the posts in this thread are nasty as hell. It's "Bigot's are us", behind an internet connection.

Wanting to see the bad in what Chief Spence is trying to do, and doing, says a lot about your politics, and your person.

People just don't get the effect abject poverty, oppression, abuse,has on a people over hundreds of years.

The whole paradigm needs to be shifted from corruption to viable help.


In the sixties there were Native schools that were run like concentration camps , in Canada.
You can't have that , so close to our time and not have a huge swath of people lost.

These movements and protests, like the occupy wall street movement, are not necessarily Kosher.
They sure as hell are a barometer of our society.

Now just so you know , I'm not some NDP make the rich pay communist.
Nor am I satan lives in Harper's trousers and we need to unzip them and let him die.
Nor am I impressed at all with the present Liberal conundrum they call a party.
As for the Greens,nice talking sweet looking group of go nowhere any time soon crowd.


I'm more interested in Grass Roots movements and people that try to make a difference by volunteering in hospitals or food banks.
Something , anything that actually ignores the corruption of politics and a media bent on lobbying one particular party.

Some coherence would be nice.......

Of course, that would require you up your meds.

ALL media are biased, one way or another. It is simply refreshing to have an outlet that does not parrot the same old BS, but approaches the subject from a different angle.

You think the CBC is NEUTRAL???

lol

Ezra is just another entertainer. I can't take him seriously even if some of what he says is true. he reminds my of some of the comedians we used to watch on Ed Sullivan.

Levant is nothing unless he has some comedy gold to mine.. Spence delivers all this and then some on this issue (or rather, non-issue)

 

[Goober]

Actually, the Quebec Police did open fire and pull a frontal assault, in which officer Marcel Lemay was shot and killed.

Really Really stupid.

Now certainly the military could have crushed the protestors. But why?? Oka was one of the times the Indians were right.

I agree. The situation was clearly mishandled.

 

[Bremusa]

I just do it MYYYYYYYYYY way....lol.

I can't figure the damn thing out. I have only returned here after a long hiatus so I just fumble along until I learn how it is supposed to work.

Here's what I do; I hit the full reply. Then I remove the last quote box from the bottom of the post and paste it behind the end of the first sentence that I want to address. For instance on this one I removed the

from the bottom and pasted it behind SAL up above. Then I happily keyboard behind it like I am here. After I have finished answering that piece of the paragraph, I find the next piece I want to address. [/QUOTE]

Ok here goes nuttin( the nutter ya'll are startin to get to know)lol

Let's use the sentence that starts with Hope and ends with colour. I highlight it and go up to the tools above. There is a box fourth from the end, if you hover over it a display appears which says : wrap quote tags around the selected text. Press on it. voila the next piece which you had highlighted becomes the next quote to address.

Hope my instructions help. :blob:

That needs to come from elsewhere not the government.

Fine, And casinos and fishing and so much Native industry helps. Hell Native Canadain Sweaters are a million dollar industry in Japan.
Infracsture, hospitols , education and everything that goes into a making a city a city and place where people live and prosper, comes from government.

It is a desperate situation but throwing more money at a desperate situation will NEVER fix the desperate situation when the given billions have not worked.
H E L L Yes!!! if it breaks daily and we keep spending money to repair it then you are damn right, I am going to complain soooo loud and I am going to campaign that we not throw more good money after bad.

Sal, this is what I'm trying to get across. Why is it that this all seems so normal. Money spent on fixing that sink hole. Now when you come to Native issues,it just seems your saying it's "Their" problem and they need to find the money to fix it besides our Government.

Okay ??? that is meaningless to me. Starving babies are just such, regardless of their Canadian uniqueness.

I'm just saying we all are Canadian and we all should be helping each and every community develope to their fullest potential.

Well I sort of got it Sal, and with some tweeking I should be ok.

Thank you kindly, and you do have a pleasant online presence and debate style.

Anything you want to quote needs the word "quote" in square brackets at the beginning and the word "/quote" in square brackets at the end.

For example this:
{quote}Well I sort of got it Sal, and with some tweeking I should be ok.{/quote}

becomes this:

Well I sort of got it Sal, and with some tweeking I should be ok.

just by changing the brackets to the square ones.

The poster whom you are quoting should be shown in square brackets when you hit reply and it's customary to leave the posters name showing when you are quoting them so that everyone knows who's post you're replying to.

Tonnington did a thread somewhere about the quote function and common errors made but I can't remember where it is.

 

[Bremusa]

Hiya Colpy , nice meeting you.
Whats with the cranky bear ?
What makes this one tick , eh?

Some coherence would be nice.......

Well you seem to have understood it or you would not take the time to share your precious time with me, thank you.

Of course, that would require you up your meds.

I have found with the medicated ,less is more. Unless of course your from the doctor Mengele school.

Got that one in your family album already?

ALL media are biased, one way or another.

And why is that? What has happened to the noble fifth estate eh?

It is simply refreshing to have an outlet that does not parrot the same old BS, but approaches the subject from a different angle.

And who would they be

You think the CBC is NEUTRAL???

Since this subject is really of great interest to me, Ive recently wondered about this myself.

I always found they were more user friendly to the Liberal Party, in interviews. Now it seems they seem more keen on the NDP.


Colpy have a great day.

It didn't take long to invoke Nazism to punctuate your argument.

it's an old trick, and not very effective I might add

Well ,hopefully it is a one off.
That was a first, and I know where it came from.

I'm not into this sort of level of rudeness and it does seem to invoke a certain part of me thats there, and needs to be addressed.

Sharing equally???


If we shared eqally, the natives are already getting more than their share.

Become like a duck and let the slights roll off your back. There are those who get irate when someone expresses an opinion they don't agree with. That is their problem. Don't make it yours.

HEY YOU!
Just noticed you seem to support the Bloc from your Avatar.

Sooooooo, too much use of the dreaded Nazi photo played on you here then?
Is that, what that was? lol

Can I play with a few in future and not have you go maudit Anglais on me.
I have been to the Belle Provence and it's not so Belle sometimes.
Man some of this Frenchies are down right **** .

I've had a few wrong directions played out on me by none other transit workers, and there is always this look .
This very small look of "I just ef'd you over"

But then you meet this sophisticated woman of beauty and human kindness and she makes you forget the petit separatist.

ROFL.

Don't take any negative comments personally - it's all part and parcel of the sandbox we all play in.

HEY YOU!

My ID of the Bloc in my avatar is ironic at best... You wanna come for a visit, you'll have to make arrangements in advance with the AB gvt to see if we'll accept you in.

Don't under value your Nazi reference, in reality, the Doctor Mengele reference was an extra special touch

I too have spent time in La Belle Province - I can't say I had any troubles myself..... Hmmm, maybe it had more to do with you personally?

The AB version of that one takes you on a 40 mile detour through old logging roads in the mountains... Beautiful scenery, but ya had better have a full tank and 4X4 if yer planing on making it back home

But then you meet this sophisticated woman of beauty and human kindness and she makes you forget the petit separatist.

Have you no shame Bremusa?... Coming onto me in such an aggressive fashion... You risk making me blush

ROFL.

Still ROFLing?

If you are saying I did not know you well enough to post like that?
Yes ,you would be right, and I apologize to you.

I had a Metro Transit Official purposely misdirect me to the wrong subway station.
Walking away looking back at him on intuition,there was this maniacal grin on his face.

Then, we were having a hard time finding a hotel in downtown Montreal.
This concierge did the exact same thing and looking back had the same grin on his face.

Twice in two days, and a few people just insisted on us speaking French.

It's the pettiness of it all.

I have no love for the Bloq nor the Separatist movements in Quebec
As for the woman , she was special. Both my partner and I, to this day ,keep in touch.

This latest diatribe, by the right wing nuts parroting their lieing hero Levant, would be all well and good if Chief Spencer had actually requested a personal audience with his royal heinousness Harper and the gg . The fact is she did not.

Fact checking Chief Escalade's hunger strike. The "financials" begin at the 20 minute mark.



Why Is There Always A Big Screen TV? - Small Dead Animals

Interesting take on things.

I wonder if Levant needs a tour of my neighbourhood?

He'd know why the cops are letting the people get attention so they can expose the corruption.

They are breaking the law to get into court to have their complaints on record.

Let the OWS dream catcher, Twilight and moonbeam types yap while the real **** goes down.

Spence is trying to look like she is clean.


Levant almost gets it. He doesn't know the big picture and why the cops are standing down.

I don't know the big picture & why the police are standing down....but I'm curious.

I have heard that the four women from Saskatchewan who started the "Idle No More" movement
are try'n to distance themselves from Theresa Spence (Linklater?) and the other Chiefs that are
jumping onto the "Idle No More" band wagon, as they claim that the Chiefs (including Theresa
Spence) are part of the pboblem and not part of the solution.

I don't think a "request" (request - definition of request by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.) to meet with PM Stephen
Harper was made by Chief Spence. I think "request" is the wrong word, as a "request" isn't
made in this manner:

.

Maybe it's just me, but that's how I picture someone claiming a hunger strike in an "or else"
manner. I've made no bones about that...in the first post following the opening post in this
Thread.

The "Idle No More" protest ballooning into roadblocks on public highways & bridges, and rail
road crossings, etc...I don't see as helping their cause. Their, as in they, as in those involved
in this protest. Going to the whole "winning their hearts & minds" concept, that wouldn't be the
way to do it.

Where does it seem like it would be a good idea to increase economic funding by interfering with
the economy in a negative manner, so less revenue is generated, and many are inconvenienced,
costing more monies....so that more monies can be paid by those that have had their economies
interrupted and have been inconvenienced by these/this protest? Really?

I mean, If I was stuck on a train for a week, or in traffic for hours due to a blockaded highway or
bridge, potentially costing me lost wages & increased expenses, etc...I don't think that would make
me gungho to chip more into the kitty of those that are intentionally inconveniencing my time and
pocketbook. Maybe I'm seeing this wrong though somehow.

...& Yes, the LINK above that I quoted (after watching it from start to finish) is to SUN Media. Yes,
it is a right leaning media outlet so it does have a bias like every other media outlet out there. Do I
dismiss it outright for this reason? Is the information disseminated in the LINK to SUN Media true?
Did they lie? Is Theresa Spence suing SUN Media from her Tepee in Ottawa for slander or libel or
something along those lines?
