An aside: they have everything handed to them, so what can they even be protesting about??
I am sure there was a problem with that 'drunken native' at the first meeting/protest.

Good Call, Karrie
back to the point, I have more of an issue with the "IF you behave", it sounds as if she was addressing children. I would be surprised if "they" (see what I did there?) were as ill-behaved as most MPs during a session of parliament, but even with their childish antics they don't actually get dressed down like idiotic children
OK.....In defense of what Colpy is saying, if nobody else is going to step forward...
Colpy makes a good point with pointing out potential reverse discrimination, which
happens to be just another form of discrimination.
Could the "THEY" & "THEM" & "THOSE PEOPLE" be in reference to the protesters,
and not to anyone of a specific ethnic background? Just who would be stupid enough
to bring Booze to a protest inside of a government office? That special type of stupid
transcends racial, ethnic, and gender boundaries...
That is the way I saw it also. It really doesn't matter about race or religion,but if you come to my place for a meeting and one or more of your group are drunk,I will admonish your group,like the immature children you are. The leader of this group would have known if one of the group was drinking and should have kept him out of the meeting. Instead,when they are called on it,they throw out the race card. That is BS,that is playing the victim to cover your own poor decisions..."One of them showed up the other day and was drinking ... I'm not calling you an alcoholic. No. It was just to say that you're in a federal office. If you're coming in to negotiate, I expect, there's decorum that has to be respected."
Was one of the group drinking? If one of their group was drinking, then her telling that group, or a member of that group, that she has no problem with them if they're sober, seems like a fairly reasonable statement. She says nothing about their race in those quotes.
Now, if none of them (them as in their group... not them as in natives) were showing up drinking, then it's a different story.
Sorry, you're right, I just found the remarks to be in poor taste somehows, but I guess it's just me![]()

Way to go,Avro. With your blanket statement that 'cons never think before they open their big fat mouths' you have given us all a perfect example of hypocrisy.It dosen't matter, Colpy being the good little soldier of the cons dosen't get many things including the meaning of hypocrisy and he certainly dosn't know anything about optics.
Cons never think before they open their big fat mouths which is why Harper muzzles the people he wants us to elect......some of them are complete idiots.:lol:

No,no muzzle. But you should go back and read what you wrote previously. The 'some' came after the periods............. indicating a different line of thought.I guess you missed the part where I said "some"......you should keep reading before you open your big fat mouth.:lol:
So I assume you agree the PM should muzzle the people he wants us to vote for.
Yes or no?
No,no muzzle. But you should go back and read what you wrote previously. The 'some' came after the periods............. indicating a different line of thought.

Having worked with reserve natives it is a common admonition; come to the meeting civil and sober or there will be no meeting. Check the stats for drinking and belligerence on reserves.
