Nice to see Canada getting on board with the hate. It's the Zeitgeist.
Probably more like anger than hate. Nothing much has changed since Cornholish paid for their scalps. Witness the way the RCMP attacked them recently at the anti fracking demonstrations with assault weapons.Sounds to me as if the Migmaw are carrying around a ton of hate, too.

I truly forgive them.
I apologize for the people who came here 388 years before and abruptly ended the stone age before my family showed up.
I think they just want to be treated like human beings, with respect. I know it is hard for the racists, but, hey, they are a dying breed. Once the present stock of baby boomers, Gen Xers and anybody over 35 die off then there may be peace... maybe not. One can only hope.I feel a lot of guilt, too. A single payment obviously won't be enough.

First you get self-respect then you get respected. It's not the other way around.
I like it when one of those chiefs sit in at the poker game at the local casino . They throw a lot of hundred dollar bills on the table .On another note....
Nobody ever mentions that the Chief may be agitating band members to take their minds off their salaries and the way they are spending band money that the government gives them?
A recent court order gives the Onion Lake Cree Nation near the Alberta/Saskatchewan border 30 days to disclose its basic financial records.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation helped with a court application that was launched by band member Charmaine Stick in 2016.
On Saturday, CTF Prairie Director Todd MacKay told the Alberta Morning News this was a huge decision.
“Onion Lake Cree Nation is one band that has refused to provide that kind of transparency for years. The federal government is no longer enforcing the First Nations Financial Transparency Act, so that meant that band members like Charmaine Stick literally couldn’t find out what was going with their community’s money.”
Stick made headlines in 2014 by going on a 13-day hunger strike in a bid to try and push the band for better financial transparency.
MacKay believes this order sends a strong message.“You don’t just have to worry about the federal government enforcing the law, you really have to be worried about grassroots band members because they can apply to the courts to compel their leaders to do what everybody should do when they’re spending public dollars and let folks know what’s going on. That’s why this is such an important decision.”He said most first nations do post their finances, but there are still some that are refusing, and this is an extraordinary failure by the federal government.

Adendum: The chief has just appealed the court's decision using band money that the government puts in his care for the band member...
And of course Cliffy will probably defend the chief
And they don't drink cheap Catawba or Rosé......I like it when one of those chiefs sit in at the poker game at the local casino . They throw a lot of hundred dollar bills on the table .
