Funny thing about that band. They sold out to f-ckin' whitie and not a single member works at Tswwassen Mills but they do get a cut of PST and GST from the mall revenues.
And Petros gives us the FULL picture of what is wrong with LIE-beral policy towards natives!
The Tsawassen band is clearly working hard to haul itself into the 21st century!
They want the best of what modern life has to offer- the steady work, the self respect, the stable and happy family life, the decent living conditions, no violence, no raging drunks, no cops at the door come to arrest friends and family, no inquests into how friends and family died, no more women selling themselves on street corners for drug or alcohol money!
Tsawassen band has figured out what Japanese and Chinese and Koreans already know- that you can still be you even though you have acquired skills that will let you thrive in modern society!
As for the others- the ones lost in the bush- drinking, drugging, fighting, hurting those they should be closest to- they are lost and what they want need not be taken seriously because addicts do not know what they want- other than to expand their addiction and that aint helping!
AS for Coulton Boushie and other racists like him- they are lost in the past! Coulton Boushie is a reincarnation of Almighty Voice- the Cree dork who got killed in the 1880`s!
Almighty Voice was around age 16- and it was 10 - 15 years after the Riel Rebellion- and Alberta was still on edge- worried about more war.
Almighty Voice was hungry- govt was trying to compel natives to start growing their own food- raising cows and ect- and not succeeding and Voice was hungry- and shot a cow belonging to a white farmer. The people in his village knew there would be trouble and some people shunned him- and some people enjoyed th beef he gave them.
RCMP came looking and Voice chose not to go quietly- he grabbed his gun and wounded one cop and killed another and fled- so now instead of some inconvenient jail time and maybe a fine- he is a wanted killer!
Voice was eventually cornered in a copse of trees and from his hiding spot he killed and wounded a couple more RCMP- so the cops backed off and the army came forward with a cannon and disposed of Almighty Voice!
And there is the lesson for today: you do not have to love white people. You do not have to love the life of a clerk in a store. It is known- even among white people that living on the land in summer can be more pleasant than sweating in some over priced apartment!
But here is the point: the 21st century is with us- regardless of what we whant or how we feel! Billions of people have swallowed hard and made their peace with this fact!
Sadly- some others- too spoiled, to foolish, to drugged or too drunk to recognize truth and reality, are trying to reverse life on this planet
The delusions of the Luddites who want to destroy technology that permits millions of people to live decently are being fed by utterly selfish LIE-berals who pretend that they can give drugged up addicts what they are dreaming of!
The Tsawassen band was tough minded enough to recognize the snake oil the LIE-berals were selling! Tsawassen band recognized that they needed to find a new way- and that they were close enough top the big city to take advantage of it so they took the bold step and dumped the idea of a traditional reserve!
Will it work for them? WE certainly hope so!
A very rough survey of news headlines seems to suggest that not too many of those Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women came from Tsawassen.
WE do not hear about floods ravaging Tsawassen nor do we hear about epidemics of suicide their either!
There seems not to be multiple reports of violence there either!
IN short- my previous statement that natives seem to do rther better when in closer proximity to a white city stands as valid!
Though such a statement will make shameless LIE-berals cringe in HORROR!
After all, how can LIE-berals buy and bribe people who already have decent control of their lives?
LIE-berals pander to the drunk the deluded, the ignorant, the selfish and all those who are haters of white people!
LIE-berals are so grossly arrogant, so utterly selfish, so consumed by lust for power at any price that they have decided Canada doews not have a large enough population of welfare recipients and emotional cripples already and so they are deliberately importing tens of thousands more people who fit the LIE-beral criteria of being suckers who are easy to BRIBE!
