This information has the potential to really screw up the land claims industry.
What difference would it make if Wilson-Raybould has Polynesian DNA mixed in from a millennia back, or west coast American & Mexican Natives have DNA from what's now China, or Aboriginals from the southern tip of Chile have DNA from New Zealand and east coast natives have European or Middle Eastern DNA, etc...they where here before the most recent wave of immigration since the 1600's and they signed the Treaties with that wave of the newest (comparatively) settlers. I just find it fascinating.
The thing about animals migrating across the Ice Bridge is what did they eat?
Well, that's a good question. I always thought the Bering Land Bridge was like an isthmus, but that sea is relatively shallow so during the last ice age it was a chunk of land larger than Alaska, and this along with much of Siberia was relatively ice free much of the time. If sea level was about 400ft lower 13,000 years ago, look at the pale blue area in the map below and picture that as a landmass.




The above map shows the exposed land before the last 13,000 yrs. Look at Indonesia! South America is downright chubby.

Animals migrating across a bering land bridge would have needed a reason to do so as instinct would not have driven them. Not sure how they would have know to go. Also the sorts of animals we are talking about require a lot of forage. Not sure how that would be there for them.

This was a big, relatively ice free landmass (as was most of Siberia). These animals seeking out new territory may not have realized they where migrating (in both directions) between the Americas and Asia as this was one big interconnected area. This didn't have to happen in 40 days & nights, but over thousands (or tens of thousands) of years. This large landmass could have had a variety of terrains with varied climates due to proximity to the oceans vs inland areas and elevations and so on and so forth. This area might have been better suited to the animals on it than either Asia or the Americas....& I can see that drawing Camels out of the Canadian Arctic to eventually end up where they are now...

That would be fine if the people in charge would provide her with a new office to move to. Basically it is not her problem. SHe has an office. whoever wants her to move can provide the new one.
I'm quite sure that when they told her she had to move that another office would be provided, ts............it's only common sense.

CBC is liberal controlled. Of course CBC would go for anything that makes an independent from the west where liberals are hated that left the Liberal party look bad.
I hadn't thought about that, ts. Good point. Does explain why they allowed comments on an Indigenous topic.

So you finally admit it is not Jody's responsibility to find new digs? That is why she is staying put.
I never once said it was her job to find a new office, ts. And, as I mentioned in another reply to you, it makes no sense what-so-ever that they would not have told her another office would be available - one suitable for an independent.

My only question is , why was this not an issue when she left the caucus to sit as an independent?

Why would it be. With an election looming on the horizon and all Ministers having an office it would make little sense to move her so they just let her stay until Parliament was prorogued.

It happened when the earth was much hotter than it is now. Back when the temperature was normal.

The last news reoport I read, and that was a few days back she was quoted as saying they couldn't find her a new office.

I never understood why women would support a patriarchal religion or why women support the Conservatives for the same reason. It's an old white man's club. Makes no sense at all.
