Myself I trust the CC members who are FN peoples for their views.

Myself I trust the CC members who are FN peoples for their views.

Unless a CC member self identifies as FN, how do you know who's opinions here to trust here?
I'm assuming not every member on the forum that happens to have Native ancestry has self
identified as such here. Because someone self identifies as such on an online forum, does
that mean that it's really so? Just ask'n....

 

[gerryh]

..Is the information disseminated in the LINK to SUN Media true?

Nope.

Did they lie?

yup


I'll make it easy for ya. If levant's lips are moving..... he's lying.

 

[Colpy]

Nope.



yup

ahhh...hate to break it to you, but lying and disagreeing with you are two totally different things.

One is immoral, the other is only good sense.

 

[Ron in Regina]

Nope.

So what, in the vid in that LINK, did he lie about. What specifically where the untruths there?

Didn't listen too far into it. First few minutes showed his typical true colours. His comments concerning Oka and Spence were lies, after that, I didn't bother wasting any more time with his typical bullshyte. Levaant can't open his mouth with spewing bullshyte.

What specifically, in the first few minutes of the video that you watched, where the
lies about Spence & Oka?

 

[Risus]

Spence should share part of her $300,000 annual salary with some of her 'poor' tribe mates. The average band members see very little of what the government gives the band every year. Its easy to see where it goes. By the way, she doesn't seem to be losing much weight.

Link on that 300 k please.
And the bias and hate is just dripping from such an ahole post.

Spence has NOT requested a personal audience with harper and the gg.

and Canada never "ceded" sovereignty over anything since Canada didn't have sovereignty over the Mohawk territory to begin with.

I too, don't think Spence requested a personal audience with Harper & the GG.
(Please see post#220 regarding 'request')

There are some interesting quotes from Treaty 9 in that video you didn't watch.
Canada didn't "cede" sovereignty in that Treaty, but was sovereignty "ceded" to
Canada in that Treaty?

cede - definition of cede by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

I'm no fan of Levant. Personally, I think his on-air persona comes across
as a self aggrandizing and condescending blowhard....but I did watch the
video. Maybe it might be worth watching the last 1/2 of it regarding the
'ceding' thing, as I agree with you in that Canada didn't cede sovereignty
over anything.

 

[gerryh]

and treaty 9 would have what to do with Oka and the Mohawk?

 

[Ron in Regina]

Treaty 9 would have to do with Spence. I guess you'd have had to have watched the video.

I know it would, but I didn't mention that in any of MY posts.

You made the claim. I've an open mind on this, or try to have anyway. You state that
there are lies. I think Levant is a blowhard....but I don't know where he lied, & I'm not
claiming he's the know all-be all. Specifically...where did he lie?

easier to understand?

sorry ron, I have no desire to waste anymore time listening to that moron. Listening to lies piled on top of lies doesn't do a thing for me. Listening to that idiot would be no different than listening to limbaugh, o'riely, or colter.

 

[Ron in Regina]

Canada didn't have sovereignty over Mohawk territory to begin with before
Treaties where signed? Is that what you're try'n to say?

Me? I wouldn't know Mohawk territory from Mime Territory. You're off on some
strawman tangent. I never mentioned anything to do with Mohawk anything as
far as I know previous to this post. To me, the only Mohawk I'm familiar with is
the haircut.

Twist things however you wish. It's still an interesting topic, I don't have a dog
in this race, & with a 42" monitor, I can read the print just fine without the Super
-Bold-Red.

Oh....I see. You slipped the word "Mohawk" in back in post#230, & I was more
focused on the incorrect (I'm assuming) usage or mistaken wording in how the
word 'cede' or 'ceded' was used. Thus the Tangent! I was agreeing with you in
that "Canada didn't relinquish it's sovereignty over anything.

This Thread being about Spence & her Band, & you claim there are also lies about
Spence....what are they?

Give up? You haven't started. Your claim:

Ah, it's late. I thought I might learn something here tonight. Morning will
come all to fast. Time for a shower & bed.

 

[gerryh]

Look Ron, You asked what lies he told. I told you 2 that I heard in the first few minutes of the tape. That was as far as I was willing to listen to the idiot. 2 lies in less than 5 mins of the show is enough for me to know what the rest will be.
