First nations traditional territory

I like this man. I don't know who you are, but I like the cut of your jib, and we would probably get along.

Lots of people with good old fashioned common sense are beginning to sing the tune of "OK, this bullshit needs to stop!" ...calmly, patiently. We'll get there sooner or later - I for one am sick and tired of the status quo, I'd rather we clarify the gray area. And yes, I'm one that will forever regret voting for JT. That's a mistake I am taking responsibility on. Still in disbelief he dismantled Harper's legislation on citizenship ..and now we're footing the bill.

You must be too young to remember PT (the father)....if you had known him.....you never would have made that
mistake (voting JT)....live and learn....but now you've got it.

Commendation to Xenomorph for firstly admitting he voted Liberal, and secondly for facing his mistake. Good confession.

The hardest step is Denial, once you deal with that, recovery is much easier.

For those who think us mods are doing a "shitty job" you have 2 choices. Step up and help mod, or shut up and go away. Most ALL contributing members know there is a "report a post" button in the bottom left corner. USE IT, we too have lives and cannot police every post to your satisfaction. I've not seen ONE report on this thread, normally with native affairs, we have at least one by the tenth post. Seems pretty good to me so far!

I've only moved to Canada in 2006: pretty face, knockout legs and a mind to die for. It's not my fault for being Canadian, it's hers, she brought me here.

I'd like to think anyone here is able to weigh, judge and admit to shortcomings, I'm getting too old and grumpy too have time for BS, ignorance and hypocrisy.

I found the discussion on both ends full of substance. A lot of good points being made on both sides, with some legal "features" revealed that I am sure some of us -most of us- might not have been aware of. Besides a poor attempt to shut down this on a "racist" grounds, I found the whole thread mature and at least a good beginning. We're talking, brainstorming about possible ways to end the status quo and move to an understanding mutually beneficial. I'd call that progress.

Kind of an exercise in futility because nothing we think or say on the subject will ever be taken into account by anyone with authority. Even the conservatives had no backbone to take this head on, it will be like this or worse for another 100 years.

You're only tax exempt if you work on a reserve...not many jobs on the reserve...I'm status also and I bet I pay more taxes then most of the assholes that make asshole comments on here....

Well you are partially correct .... living on the reserve ( or having an address ) also makes purchases , truck, car, quad etc tax free also .Kinda makes you the ass hole for chiming in with a 1/2 truth eh ?
