They don't look very insulated. I can't see them being of much use in Yellowknife without a dead air space to put insulation.

She has NEVER requested a personal sit down with the PM. Since the meeting between the PM and Native leaders have been anounced she has been invited, but she has NEVER requested a personal sit down for herself.
You can get quality or you can get cheap. Can't get both. Unions are not welcome on my jobsite. You park your union card at the door when you work here. If you work well you get paid well. if not you're gone.
Meanwhile, the Assembly of First Nations has requested its own meeting with Harper for Jan. 24, a year after its Crown-First Nations meeting of early 2012.
They don't want anything to do with her.

Just because the media misquotes doesn't make it a fact.
From the beginning Chief Spence, herself, has made it clear she was doing the hunger strike to get a meeting between the PM,GG and the National Chiefs. It has been other idiots that have tried to make this all about Chief Spence. Just more examples of deflection.

And when AFN wants nothing to do with her...she's all by her lonesome calling for a meeting with the PM.
Right wing line?
This woman (pic taken 22 hours ago)
hasn't eaten anything since Dec 11? Really?
Compare photo taken 5 days ago.
I'd take her at her word, but her history with transparency makes me think that she might be conducting a hunger strike which includes pizza and timbits.
She looks thinner to me.
I lost a lot of weight once and my bum didn't look it at all. Now it's ok though,lol.
Arguing about a person's weight from pictures where she is wearing a lot of clothing is lame.
It shows a bias and a real lack of anything substantial. Your tossing darts hoping they eventually prove you right.
Why does this person seem to be hated by so many people . I mean this thread has a huge hate on for her.
Ok I'm not up on the stuff she is drinking. Ok already ,she isn't living on water. So should we demand her to live off nettles?
There are all sorts of ways to demonstrate and get heard. She has the Prime Minister coming. Not bad for fish broth or what ever it is.

You've got a good point there, albeit they get the thrill of visiting Canadian Tire.
She is a politician. A dishonest politician. A politician who refuses to explain why SHE led her band into squalor as their leader and refuses to financially show how and why it happened .
Who likes dishonest politicians?
A politician?
I thought she was a Native leader and Chief.
Huge difference you know.

The f ucking article repeats that the AFN does not want to associate themselves with her.
Speaking Friday near Toronto, Harper said the AFN will "determine the composition of their own delegation."
Harper won't see her alone and she is tagging along with the AFN because he will see them. Will they allow her in their meeting with Harper as a member of their own delegation?
Results of audit expected soon
Asked about criticism over the salaries of Spence and the rest of the band council that in 2010-11 totalled $304,364, Louttit said the Attawapiskat council agreed to a comprehensive audit looking at all the funding that goes into the community and how it's spent.
The salaries that year ranged from $22,980 to $69,579 for Spence and covered 22 people who sat on the council for anywhere from one month to a full year.
Louttit says the audit is done and being reviewed by the Aboriginal Affairs Department and Health Canada, which provide the funding.
"If a comprehensive audit or an offer for a forensic audit is not sufficient for people, then I don't know what is. There's just that perception out there: 'There's little old Attawapiskat, 2,000 people, they get $60 million over five years, wow, I can't fathom that. That's a problem,'" Louttit said.
In reality, he said, everything in the North costs up to 20 times more and as much as half of the government funding goes to education.
"I've worked in that system for many, years and I can vouch for the fact that it is very, very difficult to do business in a remote community. Not like it is in Ottawa, not like it is in Timmins or anywhere else... but the average Canadian out there, they see millions and millions and they just get concerned and said, 'Hey, there's something going on there.' But I challenge those people, come to the community and look at the books and come and live there for a couple of weeks and you'll see," Louttit said.
Harper wouldn't say when the audit will be released.
and yet, Atleo went to her along with a few other AFN reps. Oh ya, they just hate her, don't they.
